Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2012 FORD FIESTA SEEMS FAULTY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND AT TIMES FEEL LIKE THE CAR "HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN". THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I TRY TO SLOW DOWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT, ETC. AND THE CAR SURGES FORWARD AS THE RPM DIAL SPIKES. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES OR PULL OUT OF THE STREET AND I NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS I SHOULD, PUTTING ME IN THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING CAR. WHILE GOING A CONSISTENT SPEED ON A STRAIGHT ROAD THE CAR WILL JERK, AS IF I'M ADJUSTING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR TO FORD AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL" FOR THE CAR. IT SEEMS THAT MYSELF AND OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND HOW IT HAS NOT BEEN DEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE WITH REPERCUSSION OF A RECALL IS BEYOND ME.
