Consumer Description

2012 FORD FIESTA FAILS TO TURN ON AT RANDOM TIMES. LIGHTS FROM THE CONTROL PANEL TO THE HEADLIGHTS CONTINUALLY BLINK AND TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS EVENING WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY, I MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MOVE THE CAR TO SAFETY UNTIL TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN. ALSO, A FEW DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE BACK RIGHT DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 10 YR OLD SON IN THE BACKSEAT. FORD DEALERSHIP FIXED THE DOOR ISSUE BUT THE POWER AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE STILL GOING ON AFTER FORD CHECKED THE CAR AND STATED IT WAS FINE IN MY SERVICE PAPERWORK. THE CAR IS CLEARLY NOT FINE.
