Consumer Description
1 year ago I spent over $1,000 fixing everything on this car, no one offered any info. about Recalls. At 21,000-23,000 miles only. I noticed some odd shuddering at low speeds. Like shaking, but only going slower. Then it did other things, seemed like maybe it was when parking or backing up. Car would switch to Neutral. On its own. Another: the car kept STARTING. I have a Remote Starter, I removed RS, still doing it. I'll find car running by itself. WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. I have 2 year old battery from Costco, under warranty. Last week, coming home, car LOST all power, nearby, able to glide into garage. Spent days checking, terminals, fuses, everything. Battery SHOULD be 12.5 amps, it was 3.5 amps. So could NOT be jump-started. Had towed to Costco, then Midas. $1,100 later got ride to pick up, start car, dashboard now has orange wrench, said: "Transmission Malfunction! Service Now!" Sunday, Midas closed, no choice but drive home, 10 miles. Dad drove me, stopped to eat, when came out after 2 hours, THE CAR WAS RUNNING! In the parking lot, ALL BY ITSELF! THE KEY WASN'T IN THE IGNITION! Key was in my purse way inside restaurant. It was SCARY. Then Shifting was messed up, on small hill, kick back, forth, not enough power. Don't drive stick shifts/manuals, but each gear was struggling. Also shaking, thought would stall. When home, car WOULDN'T TURN OFF! Removed key, CAR KEPT RUNNING - NO KEY! Online, see Recalls, transmission lawsuits, everything. Own TWO FORD FIESTA SE's, NEVER sent anything about. In press, Ford lies, say owners told. Called 5 local Ford dealerships, ALL playing game of "What recall?" "What transmission issues?" I have to pay $300+ have error codes run, IF recall, maybe they'll pay, "Probably Extended Warranty." What Extended Warranty? 2015 Ford Fiesta SE w/ 50,000 miles. I'll say this: I'm 100% DISABLE I use car for SSA Ticket to Work program, delivering Amazon. I'm losing $150 every day. I can't go to store, get my mail, dr. appts., I'm trapped.
