NHTSA Complaint #10925375 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

MY WIFE AND I HAVE CONSISTENTLY HAD ISSUES DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF OUR 2012 FORD FIESTA SE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE ON A REGULAR BASIS. SPECIFICALLY SWITCHING BETWEEN 1 AND 2 GEAR WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO ACCELERATING. ALSO, DECELERATING HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE GEARS NOT WANTING TO PROPERLY SHIFT DOWN. THIS IS AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO STOP THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 11-9-16 WHERE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAD A RECALL AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPROGRAMMED/REPLACED. THE CAR IS STILL CONTINUOUSLY FAILING TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND IS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL. LASTLY, THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK/TURN OVER. I HAVE READ MANY INSTANCES OF OTHER FORD FIESTAS USERS CARS NOT STARTING PROPERLY EITHER.
