NHTSA Complaint #10836933 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

I BOUGHT MY FIESTA LAST YEAR IN MARCH. SINCE THE DAY I GOT THE CAR IT HAS VIOLENTLY SHAKEN AND SHUDDERED WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND MOVING THE CAR FORWARD. IT MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM THAT IT'S NOT THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT "IT'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE THAT." I DON'T THINK SO AND AFTER READING ALL OF THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS, I'M STARTING TO GET FRUSTRATED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CORRECTED. MY CAR HAD SOMEWHAT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND FEAR FOR MYSELF FINANCIALLY IF THIS VEHICLE DIES BEFORE IT EVEN TURNS 5 YEARS OLD.
