NHTSA Complaint #10874895 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

MY 2012 FORD FIESTA SE HAS THE POWERSHIFT 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IN LESS THAT A YEAR, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING PROBLEMS STARTED. YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR THE SHUDDERING IN FIRST, SECOND AND NOW SOMETIMES THIRD GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN IN FOR SOFTWARE UPGRADES 3 TIMES, HAS HAD ONE TRANSMISSION REBUILD, AND I'M NOW THREE WEEKS WAITING ON MY THIRD NEW CLUTCH TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN FIELDING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION FOR SEVERAL YEARS, YET OTHER THAN EXTENDING THE WARRANTY, HAS DONE NOTHING TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND WAS HOPING TO GET 200K MILES FROM IT, I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING. IT'S TIME FOR A NATIONAL RECALL ON THESE CARS / TRANSMISSIONS!
