NHTSA Complaint #10632041 — 2013 FORD FIESTA

MY DAUGHTER TOOK HER CAR IN FOR REPAIR END OF JULY 2014, DUE TO VERY BAD SHUTTERING, SHAKING, ACCELERATION AND BRAKE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY RESET THE COMPUTER THAT SPEAKS TO THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD HER TAKE CAR BACK ABOUT 10 DAYS LATER DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE THAT SHE NEEDS TO DRIVE AT LEAST ANOTHER 1000 MILES SO THAT COMPUTER CAN REGISTER HER DRIVING HABITS??? I DROVE HER TO WORK THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY AND AS I WAS LEAVING UPHILL PARKING STRUCTURE THE CAR FELT AS IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT, I HAD THE PEDAL FLOORED AND NOTHING AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR JUMPED AND ACCELERATED FORWARD. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD OF DEFINITELY HIT THEM. I DROVE VEHICLE STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND ASKED SALESMAN TO TAKE FOR A TEST DRIVE. HE STATED THAT THERE WAS CLEARLY A PROBLEM AND HE WOULD HAVE GSM CALL ME BY THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. TUESDAY COMES AND AS MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TO WORK SHE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING SO SHE FLOORED IT AND UNFORTUNATE FOR HER HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER.
