Consumer Description

FIESTA DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. SHUDDERS AT STOP LIGHTS AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC AND CAR MAY OR MAY NOT GO. HAVE HAD AT SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS. FORD HAS PROVIDED SOFTWARE UPDATES AND REPLACE CLUTCH SEVERAL TIMES. LAST OIL CHANGE, I ASKED FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE BECAUSE IT STILL SHUDDERS AND HESITATES. TOLD OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WOULD COST ME 150 TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. CANT AFFORD THIS. LOST WORK DUE TO SERVICE REPAIRS. NOT SAFE TO DEPEND ON.
