NHTSA Complaint #10573725 — 2011 FORD FIESTA

IN JANUARY 2014 I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 55 MPH. THE SEEMED THE CAR WOULD GO INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. I WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIGN OF THE ROAD, PUT IT INTO PARK, AND THEN START AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A MODULE AND RESET THE COMPUTER, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED 2 WEEKS LATER, BUT THIS TIME I COULDN'T GET IT INTO GEAR. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. APPROX. 2 WEEKS LATER THE VEHICLE SOUNDED LIKE AN AIR HORN WAS GOING OFF WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP PULLED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID A MAJOR PART OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD BROKEN AND IT WAS MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THAT WAS 3 WEEKS AGO. THE DEALERSHIP IS WAITING FOR THE NEW TRANSMISSION FROM FORD. *TR
