NHTSA Complaint #11245976 — 2014 FORD FIESTA

MAJOR PROBLEMS IN MY 2014 FORD FIESTA WITH THE DPS6 DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. AT TIMES YOU CANNOT GET IT TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CANNOT GET YOU CAR TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH BECAUSE IT IS STUCK IN FIRST. TACH IS HITTING 7000 RPM'S BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET IT TO SHIFT. YOU HAVE TO KEEP SLOWING AND ACCELERATING UNTIL IT FINALLY SHIFTS. THEN THE OTHER MAJOR PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK IT REALLY IS NOT IN PARK. A WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND WARNS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PARKED AND TAKEN THE KEY OUT. IF I AM ON A SLOPE THE CAR WILL START ROLLING. YOU HAVE TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE THERE IS NO RELIABLE WAY TO GET IT TO GO INTO PARK. I HAVE THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE ONGOING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO MINE. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD ONCE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE SAME THINGS WERE HAPPENING AGAIN.
