NHTSA Complaint #10845981 — 2011 FORD FIESTA

MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR. CAR STUTTERS WHEN DRIVING, IDLE GOES UP TO 3K, OVERHEAT ICON CAME ON, IDLE GOES HIGH BUT CAR DECELERATES , CAR BUCKS LIKE A BRONCO. FORD CHARGED US OVER $500 TO REPLACE A COOLING FAN, DID 3 SOFTWARE UPGRADES, SAID THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, SAME ISSUES REPEATED EXCEPT FOR THE OVERHEAT ICON, IDLE STILL WENT HIGH AND CAR STUTTERS, BUCKS, AGAIN THE TRANS STOPPED PROPELLING THE CAR. NOW THEY SAY IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY AND WANT OVER $800 !! TO REPAIR IT. THE 2011 FORD FUSION HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND IS NOW COVERED FOR FREE UNDER A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, ALL OF THE WINDOWS IN THE CAR ARE HARD TO RAISE, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH THEM UP WHILE HOLDING THE UP BUTTON. THE THROTTLE ISSUE IS NEW BUT WHY DIDN'T THOSE CODES TURN UP PREVIOUSLY WHEN THE CAR EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS? IMO THIS IS A POORLY MANUFACTURED VEHICLE. ONLY 79K MILES AND SOOOOO MANY PROBLEMS.
