NHTSA Complaint #10561440 — 2011 FORD FIESTA

DRIVING IN TRAFFIC NORMAL SPEED ABOUT 40-45 MPH, VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING COMPLETELY. NORMAL COMMUTE & ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED SINCE THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE QUICKLY. ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WE TRIED SWITCHING THE GEARS AND RESTARTING THE CAR. AFTER THIS, THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AT ALL. TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY HAVE RAN ALL SORTS OF DIAGNOSTICS AND WE FIND OURSELVES AT THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST EVERY 2-3 MONTHS WITH ISSUES. FORD CORPORATE DID NOTHING BUT PROVIDE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHAT WOULD THEY HAVE DONE IF WE WERE ACTUALLY REAR ENDED & SEVERELY HURT BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY CAR? UNFORTUNATELY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT CORRECT HE PROBLEM & THIS VEHICLE IS STILL JEOPARDIZING MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND WE'LL BEING. *TR
