NHTSA Complaint #10958768 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

I PURCHASED A FORD FIESTA THAT HAS A FACTORY DEFECTED TRANSMISSION, FORD REFUSES TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULTY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION BUT ONLY TO EXTEND A WARRANTY UNTIL 100K . THIS IS TO REPLACE PARTS AND RESET COMPUTER WHICH HAS NOT WORKED AND RIGHTLY SO AS THE FAULTY DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION IS THE PROBLEM AND THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND HESITATES THEN VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATES WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU ARE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING,HESITATING AND THEN EVENTUAL SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD WITH TRAFFIC HEADING TOWARDS YOU. YOU CAN NOT PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC SAFELY ON ANY ROADS OR HIGHWAYS. ONCE IN THE LANE STILL THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHILE THIS SHUDDERING AND HESITATION IS GOING ON AND THEN EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ACCELERATES BUT WILL JUMP FORWARD AS IT IS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS WITH ACCIDENTS PEOPLE SWERVING AROUND ME TO OTHER LANES TO AVOID HITTING ME. FORD HAS PRODUCED A PRODUCT WITH KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES AND REFUSES TO RECALL THEM AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THE CUSTOMERS SAFETY.
