Consumer Description
FORD FIESTAS HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS DUE TO THE POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION FORD INSTALLED IN THE CARS. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO HAVE MAJOR DELAYED ACCELERATION, SPORADIC JERKING WHILE DRIVING, SHUDDERING UPON ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD TO DROVE OFF THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES, INCLUDING TONIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, TO AVOID BEING HIT WHILE MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS OR ROADS DUE TO THIS DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND I KNOW IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I'M IN AN ACCIDENT. FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN JUST REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WITH ANOTHER ONE THAT DOES THE SAME THING IN LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER BEING INSTALLED. DON'T WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO GET HURT OR KILLED DUE TO FORD'S NEGLACANCGE IN THEIR TERRIBLE DESIGN OF THESE VEHICLES.
