NHTSA Complaint #10617532 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN JULY OF 2012 AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE MAIN ISSUE BEING THE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR SPUTTERS AND SHAKES UPON TAKE OFF; THE RPMS REV UP VERY HIGH AND YET THE CARE GOES NOWHERE; THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT NEEDS TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR, BUT DOESN'T; THERE IS A HUGE DELAY WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, THE CAR SITS THERE BEFORE IT ACTUALLY GOES ANYWHERE; THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD WHEN YOU ARE IN SITUATIONS LIKE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO TWO SEPARATE DEALERS AND THE CAR HAS HAD 3 CLUTCHES SO FAR. THE NEWEST PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS A HORRIBLE SQUEALING COMING FROM THE BRAKES. I'VE HAD TWO NEW SETS OF BRAKES AND A DEGLAZING OF THE BRAKES, ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I'VE TAKEN THIS CAR IN FOR A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THIS WEEK WILL BE THE 4TH TIME FOR THE BRAKES. THESE CARS ARE A ROAD HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THE BBB AUTO LINE. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR KNOWING ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT RISK IN THESE CARS AND THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE OR GET INJURED BEFORE FORD DECIDES TO ADMIT THEY SOLD A HORRIBLE PRODUCT AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.
