Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON FORD FIESTA. I HAVE HAD THE THE CURRENT RECALL DONE BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2015. AT THAT TIME I ALSO HAD A CLUTCH INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE THEN THE TRANSMISSION HAS LOCKED UP AND FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE ONLY FORWARD. I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON THE FORD FIESTA ARE FAR WORSE THAN WHAT FORD IS REPORTING. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION STARTED TO FIND OUT WHAT THE UNDERLYING ISSUES WITH THIS AND TO SEE IF FORD IS HIDING ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT FORD HAS PUT IN THEIR FIESTAS AND FOCUSES. THE FORD FIESTA HAS BECOME A DANGEROUS VEHICLE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP WILL NOT ACCELERATE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR.
