NHTSA Complaint #10684012 — 2011 FORD FIESTA

I PURCHASED MY 2011 FORD FIESTA IN AUGUST 2014 WITH 45,000 MILES ON IT. CAR RAN FINE FOR A WEEK THEN I NOTICED WHEN THE AC IS ON THE CAR JERKS WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT ALSO DOES IT DAILY WHEN I DRIVE SPEEDS UNDER 30 MPH. THE CAR STALLED OUT AS I PULLED OUT LEAVING WAL-MART AND THANK GOD IT WAS DURING THE DAY WHEN EVERYONE IS AT WORK AND THAT THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC!! THIS CAR MAKES ME NERVOUS DRIVING IT A DISTANCE LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES AND NO CAR SHOULD FEEL THAT UNSAFE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER THIS MORNING REPORTING OF CONSTANT JERKING AND HESITATION WHILE I AM DRIVING AND FEELING THE GEARS GRINDING WHEN I BRAKE. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH AND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND THAT SINCE THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER IT WOULD TAKE MINIMUM 2 WEEKS TO GET IN!. HOW THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR
