Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2012 FORD FIESTA DURING MAY 2014 WITH 23,279 MILES ON IT. IT HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED ARE: INTERMITTENT SHUDDERING WHEN TAKING OFF, LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING, JERKING AND HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE RADIO. I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE LOSS AND HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN PASSING CARS ON HIGHWAYS AND PULLING OUT INTO INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE FIXED AND THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN FIXED IS THE INTERMITTENT SHUDDERING DUE TO A NEW CLUTCH THEY PUT IN. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING, ALONG WITH JERKING AND HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE RADIO. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO AS I KEEP BRINGING THE CAR BACK WITHOUT GETTING IT RETURNED FIXED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR, AS I FEAR FOR MY LIFE ALONG WITH THE LIVES OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD. HOWEVER IT IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE.
