Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2012 FORD FIESTA LAST WEEKEND AND NOTICED THE DAY AFTER THAT AS I DROVE, THE FRONT OF THE CAR WOULD RATTLE. THEN I NOTICED WHEN I WOULD STOP AND GO THE CAR WOULD TAKE AWHILE TO ACCELERATE. I REGISTERED THE CAR ON SYNC (ASSOCIATED BY FORD) AND IT INDICATED 2 ITEMS WERE FAULTY. MADE AN APT WITH FORD WHO WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. ON THE WAY TO DROP OFF THE CAR AFTER I MADE A STOP, I ACCELERATED IT WENT BUT THEN SUDDENLY CAME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP ON ITS OWN LUCKILY THEN CAUGHT AND ACCELERATED, IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. FORD CHARGED ME $105 TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS THEN SAID THAT IT HAD TO HIT 250 WITH THE SHUDDERING AND MY CAR WAS ONLY AT 180, AFTER PUSHING THE SERVICE GUY WE GOT HIM TO ADMIT HE KNEW IT HAD A PROBLEM BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS GOT MY ATTENTION AND WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS OR NEAR ACCIDENTS. DO PEOPLE NEED TO DIE FOR FORD TO TAKE ACTION, WOULD THEIR CEO GIVE THIS CAR TO HIS CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN. I JUST PAID ALL THE MONEY I HAD FOR THIS CAR I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT WHICH COULD SAVE MY LIFE OR THE LIFE OF OTHERS. THIS IS A DANGER ON THE ROAD. PLEASE HELP! I HAVE SOME DOCS HERE THAT CAN HELP MY FAULTY TRANSMISSION ERROR THAT PROVES THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT.
