NHTSA Complaint #10582967 — 2011 FORD FIESTA

DRIVING TO WORK STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, I SAW THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR DISPLAY FLICKERING THROUGH THE GEARS. ON GREEN I TRIED TO GO BUT, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, IT DID NOT GO BUT THE ENGINE REVVED. I WAITED FOR THE NEXT RED, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT WENT. IT WAS PARKED ALL DAY. WHEN I STARTED IT UP AGAIN, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF, THINKING IT MIGHT HAVE ONLY BEEN A GLITCH. I DROVE HOME ONTO I-295 AT 65MPH SPEED AND ALL OF SUDDEN IT STARTED AGAIN, ENGINE LIGHT ON, TRANSMISSION SELECTOR GOING THROUGH ALL GEARS, AND I LOST POWER TO THE WHEEL. LUCKILY I COASTED TO AN OFF RAMP, BEFORE I WAS FLATTENED BY SEMITRACTORS. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, AND THE CAR DROVE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I FINALLY GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW I AM JUST WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. *TT
