Consumer Description

THIS CAR IS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. I FIRST STARTED NOTICING PROBLEMS BEFORE I EVEN HIT 15,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR SHUDDERS AND JUMPS WITH ACCELERATION AND TURNING. I HAVE GONE IN NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE PROBLEM IS NEVER FIXED. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THE CAR HESITATES WHEN I NEED TO MAKE A SPEEDY DECISION PUTTING ME IN DANGER BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T REACT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO. NOW MY ENGINE OVER HEATED AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT HAPPENED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY 2 YEAR OLD CAR. I AM SERIOUSLY THINKING OF JUST TRYING TO SELL IT AND GET A NEW CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I THINK THE ENTIRE LINE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND PEOPLE SHOULD GET THERE MONEY BACK. *TR
