2011 FORD FIESTA Power Train Problems

WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW I HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO JOE COTTON FORD IN CAROL STREAM, IL THERE WAS NO REMEDY BESIDES REMOVING THE CABLES FROM THE BATTERY TO RESET THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. ON SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO. TO ADVISE THAT THEY NEED TO DO A SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO A TCM CIRCUIT FAILURE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FRIENDLY FORD 333 E IRVING PARK, ROSELLE, IL, ON MONDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2019, SO THEY CAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. PRIOR TO TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES. APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO INSTALL THE NEW SOFTWARE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED ME THAT THE CARD CODE READER WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ERROR MESSAGE AND THEY HAD TO CHARGE ME. MY VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL DAYS...

NO MATTER WHETHER FROM DEAD STOP OR TRYING TO OPEN IT UP ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STILL HESITATES. YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL IF YOU ARE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND/OR AN ON RAMP.

ERRATIC SHIFTING UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION, CLUTCH SHUDDERING ON LIGHT ACCELERATION, LACK OF POWER, AND CAR JOSTLING FORWARD WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS FOLLOWED BY ALMOST STALLING. THIS JOSTLING REQUIRES ME TO PRESS THE BRAKE HARD TO PREVENT A SUDDEN FORWARD-JERKING MOTION. THE JOSTLING/JERKING OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN DECELERATING AT INTERSECTIONS, MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR CARS AND PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME IF I DO NOT PRESS THE BRAKE HARD BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. SINCE EARLY JULY, THE CAR EXHIBITS THE SAME SYMPTOMS ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING, MAKING IT GENERALLY UNSAFE FOR REGULAR USE. SEE UPLOADED VEHICLE SERVICE ASSESSMENT FROM FORD - THEY DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A CLUTCH AND CLUTCH FORK B FAILURE BUT NO CODES RELATED TO THIS CONCERN WERE PRESENT DURING THEIR DIAGNOSIS. THE CARE WAS RELEASED AND DEEMED "DRIVABLE" BY THE DEALERSHIP.

THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE.

I OWN A 2011 FIESTA WITH 130000 MILES ON IT. AS EVERYONE IS AWARE, THEY HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE TCM REPROGRAMMED 5 OR 6 TIME SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED A CLUTCH. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100000 MILES BUT MY CLUTCH WAS CLEANED IN 2016 AT APPROX 95000 MILES BEFORE IT WAS THE STANDARD FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE BAD CLUTCHES. LAST SEPTEMBER, AT 120000 MILES, IWAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD WHEN MY CLUTCH QUIT WORKING WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND STRANDED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAIN 7 LANE ROAD, WOULDNT EVEN GO INTO NEUTRAL. I'M LUCKY THERE WASNT AN ACCIDENT WITH HOW SUDDENLY IT HAPPENED, AFTER FIGHTING WITH FORD FOR TWO MONTHS I HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED IN NOVEMBER AND HAD TO PAY 1300 FOR WHAT TO ME SEEMS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. NOW LESS THAN A YEAR LATER MY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKES SQUEAKED, THE STEERING LOST POWER, AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRIENDLY KIA (877-544-6719, LOCATED AT 5819 US-19, NEW PORT RICHEY, FL 34652) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO HUMIDITY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO FORD OF PORT RICHEY (727-233-7143, LOCATED AT 10715 US-19, PORT RICHEY, FL 34668) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

WHEN TURNING THE CV JOINT/AXEL MAKES GRINDING NOISE. I HAD SERVICED TWICE BY FORD DEALERSHIPS AND SYMPTOMS REMAIN. THEY REPLACED AXEL BOOT (LEFT HALF SHAFT). NOISE STILL REMAINS. HASN'T BEEN PROVEN TO FIX.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION BUCKS AND SHUDDERS AT TIMES ! THE TCM HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND REPROGRAMMED 3 TIMES! SAME WITH TRANSMISSIONS CLUTCH! CAR DOESN'T GET ENOUGH ACCELERATION GOING UP HILL EITHER. THIS DOES THIS EVERY TIME I DRIVE ! IT'S HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING WHAT GEAR TO GO IN !

THE CAR SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE IT OS GOING TO STALL OUT. THE CAR REVS HIGH WHEN YOU PRESS THE GASS BUT HAS NO POWER. I'VE TAKEN IT TWICE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE TO FIX THE THROTTLE BODY FIRST BEFORE THEY CAN TELL ME IF IT'S MY TRANSMISSION. ALSO WHEN I'M FILLING UP MY TANK IT STOPS EVERY FEW SECONDS AND WILL NOT ALLOW GAS TO GO IN THE TANK. THEY ALSO SAID IT'S MY FILLER NECK.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND STALLS WHEN TAKING OFF. VEHICLE WILL STOP FUELING WHEN PUMPING GAS. ENGINE MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND VEHICLE HAS LARGE WATER LEAK.

THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AT TAKEOFF AND WHEN ACCELERATING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS INCREASINGLY AND HAD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND WAS STALLING SO BAD AT TAKE OFF. THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP BUT ACCELERATING SLOW, THEN IT WILL JERK INTO GEAR.

CAR IS PARKED, DUE TO SHUDDERING, STALLING AND LACK OF POWER. NO FAITH IN THE VEHICLE, WON'T SELL BECAUSE I DON'T WANT IT TO BECOME SOMEBODY ELSE PROBLEM.

LACK OF POWER; GRINDING NOISE AT AROUND 20-30MPH;SHUDDERING; ACCELERATION SLIPS; ENGINE OIL LEAKS; CLUNKING NOISES.

I FIRMLY BELIEVE MY VEHICLE WAS MEANT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION RECALL BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN RECALL SEARCHES. HOWEVER, I HAD BEEN HAVING SLIGHT ISSUES WITH IT FOR A WHILE, LIKE IT SEEMING TO SLIP GEARS OR EVEN 'CATCH' AT TIMES. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND TOLD THEM WHAT I THOUGHT IT COULD BE. I'M A SMALLER FEMALE, AND THE MAN I SAID IT TO LAUGHED AND TOLD ME THAT WAS HIS JOB AND NOT MINE AND THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IT. FINALLY IN MAY OF LAST YEAR, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (IN A STRAIGHT STRETCH ABOUT TO GET OFF AN EXIT) AND OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR BASICALLY STARTED STALLING OUT, AND JERKING AND KICKING BACK. GETTING IT BACK HOME WAS A NIGHTMARE, DUE TO IT HAVING SUCH TROUBLE...

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED AND DELAYED PROPULSION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011-12. TOOK IT TO DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES FOR "UPDATES" AND LISTENED TO A VARIETY OF EXCUSES AS TO WHY THE SHUDDERING-- BUT THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. EVENTUALLY, LAST MONTH A DAY AFTER MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WARNED OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THE FIESTA STOPPED PROPELLING MY CAR NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. AFTER STOPPING ALONG THE HIGHWAY FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, THE CAR WOULD MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. MY CAR NOW SEATS IN MY GARAGE, UNDRIVEABLE WITH AN APPARENTLY FAILED TRANSMISSION. SERVICE CENTER THAT JUST EXAMINED THE PROBLEM QUOTED ME $4,400 TO INSTALL NEW TRANSMISSION!

MY VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR IN A DANGEROUS AREA ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS MY CAR SLOWED. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I RESTARTED THE CAR ONLY FOR IT TO ENGAGE "LIMP MODE" WHICH WASN'T ENOUGH POWER TO GET ME OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, HESITATED, AND STALLED. ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, THE "BRAKE NOT PUSHED" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTH EAST FORD (182 ROUTE 44 EAST, MILLERTON, NY 12546, (518) 789-4477) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT NO LONGER OWNED THE VEHICLE AND SOLD IT FOR PARTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING OR MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND COMPLETELY LOCK UP. I AM UNABLE TO GO FORWARD OR IN REVERSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. HOWEVER THE CAR WILL STILL REV JUST NOT MOVE. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND HAS HAPPENED IN INTERSECTIONS AS WELL AS ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE HAD CAR LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE HAD TO TOW OFF SIDE OF FREEWAY DUE TO IT NOT MOVING!

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL TRANSMISSION ISSUES, WITHOUT WARNING - THE CAR WOULD IDLE BY ITSELF WHEN I WAS PARKED OR AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WOULD SPEED UP WITHOUT STEPPING DOWN ON THE GAS. IN RECENT REVIEWS IT LOOKS LIKE THE 2011 FORD FIESTAS HAS DEFECTED TRANSMISSIONS?

TAKARA RECALL I'VE OWNED THIS DEATH TRAP SINCE 2012 AND HAS HAD THE DUAL TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE.. IT HAS ALWAYS JERKED AND STALLED OUT ON ME WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, PULLING OFF FROM STOP SIGNS/RED LIGHTS, AND WHILE DRIVING UP HILLS. IT'S EMBARRASSING, BUT MOST OF ALL UNSAFE FOR ME, MY CHILDREN, AND OTHER DRIVERS.

AT 232 MILES WE STARTED TAKING THIS CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, AND WERE TOLD THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON, BEFORE 60,000 MILES THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION OR DID SOFTWARE UPDATES NUMEROUS TIMES, ALSO AFTER 60,000 IT CONTINUED. IN ADDITION THE FRAME AND AXELS HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WHEN THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD BY A FORD MECHANIC THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THAT DUE TO THE SEVERE SHAKING CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IN ADDITION THE AIR CONDITIONING HAD ISSUES OVER AND OVER AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALSO HAD ISSUES AFTER RECALLS FOR SOMETHING TO DUE WITH THE BATTERY HARNESS, MY LIGHTS WENT OUT, MY RADIO STOPPED WORKING, MY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND MANY OTHER ODD ELECTRICAL THINGS HAPPENED AT THIS POINT THIS CAR SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN BECAUSE OF SAFETY ISSUES, WHILE I...

I PURCHASED MY 2011 FORD FIESTA BASICALLY WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, BRAND NEW.BUT, JUST PRIOR TO THE 10,000 MILE MARK I STARTED EXPERIENCING SEVERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SHUDDERING, STALLING OUT, AND EVENTUALLY OVERALL FAILURE. ALL OF THESE FAILING HAPPENED EITHER UPON TAKING OFF OR DURING TRANSIT. I'VE HAD THE CAR LURCH AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR IN TRAFFIC AS WELL AS FAIL WHILE DRIVING DURING RUSH OUR TRAFFIC; PREDOMINANTLY ON CITY STREETS BUT ALSO OCCASIONALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT LOWER SHIFTS. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN "FIXED" AND "ASSESSED" MORE TIMES THAN I BELIEVE AND CAR PROBLEM SHOULD BE WITHOUT BEING RESOLVED. EVERY TIME I WOULD DISCUSS WHY IT CONTINUES THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WOULD ALWAYS SAY "THAT'S JUST HOW THEY WORK" OR SOME OTHER NONCHALANT VERBAGE TO SHRUG OFF THE PERSISTING PROBLEM THAT I'M PAYING FOR. THIS CONTINUED TROUBLE LEAVES ME WITH ALMOST NO TRUST IN MY VEHICLE AND HAS...

DUE TO A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW, THE CAR WILL SHUDDER WHEN THE GEARS SHIFT FROM LOW TO HIGH. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AT TUTTLE-CLICK FORD IN IRVINE, CA. AND FRITTS FORD IN RIVERSIDE, CA. ON 9/20/14, 12/26/2014, 2/15/16, 3/10/16, 5/28/16, AND 6/23/16. THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR CONTINUES TO SHUDDER DURING MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE A COPY OF EACH INVOICE FOR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS.

DUE TO A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW, THE CAR WILL SHUDDER WHEN THE GEARS SHIFT FROM LOW TO HIGH. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AT TUTTLE CLICK FORD IN IRVINE, CA. ON 12/11/2014 AND 4/14/15. THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR CONTINUES TO SHUDDER DURING MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE A COPY OF EACH INVOICE FOR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES THAT ARE SEEMINGLY RELATED TO FORD'S DPS6 TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL WIRING. MY GEARS SLIP OUT OF PLACE AND MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO ACCELERATE OR SLOW DOWN PROPERLY. MY HORN AND FRONT WINDOWS DON'T WORK AND WE'VE TRIED SWITCHING FUSES AND CHECKING THE DOOR WIRING. IN RELATION TO THE TRANSMISSION, I WAS ON WESTBOUND I4 OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN ORLANDO AROUND 2:00 4/24/19 (MY BIRTHDAY) AND MY CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD AS I BRAKED, WHICH MADE ME HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WERE NO CODES, NO LIGHTS, NO WARNINGS ON MY CAR AND IT'S UNDER 100,000 MILES. I WAS AS A RESULT FAULTED FOR MY ACCIDENT WHICH SKYROCKETED MY INSURANCE. WE SPENT MONEY FIXING THE DAMAGE FROM THE ACCIDENT, NOT REALIZING THAT FORD HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT THEIR TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND...

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, SOON AFTER PURCHASING FROM A DEALER, MY 2011 FORD FIESTA WILL NOT GAIN SPEED AS IT SHOULD WHEN DRIVING IN TOWN. WILL SHUDDER WHEN GOING UP SMALL INCLINES. HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH REPLACED 2X BY FORD. AND HAD TO FIGHT FOR THE LAST REPLACEMENT IN JANUARY 2018. NOW CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

THE CAR SLIPS GEARS WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UP ANY SORT OF HILL. MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT GOING UP HILLS AND MADE IT DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT THOSE AROUND ME. THE CAR ALSO HAS AN INCREDIBLE JERKY MOTION WHEN DRIVING THAT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD. SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE CAR WON'T EVEN MOVE. VERY VERY DANGEROUS CAR! FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR LONG DISTANCES OR AROUND TOWN WHERE THERE ARE HILLS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE EVER SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR.

THIS TRANSMISSION BUCKS, SHAKES, AND AT TIME FALLS COMPLETELY DOWN ON QUICK ACCELERATION. UPON ACCELERATION IT JUST COMES OUT OF GEAR, AND REV THE ENGINE. IT IS HAS BEEN REBUILT SEVERAL TIMES, FLASHED TCM'S AT $120 A POP, BUT IT IS SO DANGEROUS IT NEEDS TO BE CRUSHED. THIS MODEL ALSO HAS A POORLY ENGINEERED NEGATIVE GROUND WIRE THAT HAS COST TIME AND MONEY HUNTING 'GHOST' SENSOR PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. DRIVE THIS CAR AS THE EVIDENCE OF FAILURE! AS A RESPONSIBLE OWNER I'M HOPING IT WILL NOT GO TO ANOTHER VICTIM.

DUE TO DEFECTIVE FACTORY TRANSMISSION MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S CAR LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT DATE OF THE INCIDENT BUT THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED ON A FLAT BED SINCE THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH UP A HILL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE ACCURATELY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KENDALL FORD OF EUGENE (LOCATED AT 344 GOODPASTURE ISLAND RD, EUGENE, OR 97401, (855) 981-5490) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE SAME DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,131.

FOUND THIS ARTICLE TALKING ABOUT HOW FORD CARS (INCLUDING 2011 FIESTA) HAVE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS WHICH CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS LIKE 'SHUDDERING, SLIPPING, BUCKING, JERKING, HESITATION WHILE CHANGING GEARS, PREMATURE INTERNAL WEAR, DELAYS IN DOWNSHIFTING AND, IN SOME CASES, SUDDEN OR DELAYED ACCELERATION.'

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY BEFORE 'KICKING INTO GEAR' AND ACCELERATING LIKE EXPECTED. I AM FILING THIS AND DESCRIBING A FAILURE THIS MORNING, BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AS WELL. IT SOMETIMES STALLS A BIT BEFORE THE GEARS ENGAGE AND IT STARTS TO ACCELERATE. OFTEN, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE WHEN RIGHT ON THE BORDER BETWEEN GEARS. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLE.

THE CAR CONSTANTLY SURGES FORWARD AT DANGEROUS SPEEDS AND WON'T SLOW DOWN EVEN WHEN SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS BUT IS HAPPENING MUCH MORE IN THE PAST YEAR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THERE WERE SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN I NARROWLY MISSED SLAMMING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I'VE ALSO BEEN THRUST INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. YOU MUST FORCE FORD TO RECALL AND REPLACE THESE DANGEROUS DPS6 TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THEY AND YOU HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE BEEN PUTTING MORE THAN A MILLION CAR OWNERS AND OTHERS AT RISK. PLEASE DO SOMETHING NOW! WHILE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER THE YEARS, THE MOST RECENT NEAR COLLISION WAS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION IN CHICAGO ON JULY 8, 2019. THANK YOU. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WARNING HAS GONE ON NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO...

THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWN SHIFTED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED HAD I NOT MOVED ASIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE IT STEMS FROM. I WAS A DIE HARD FORD OWNER UNTIL FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON TIME, AND NOT JUST OIL CHANGES.

TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING. TOOK TO DEALER SAID EXTENDED TO TCM WOULD BE COVERED BUT NOT MALFUNCTIONING. CLUTCH AND INTERNAL ASSEMBLY IS FAILING.CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND DEALER SUGGESTED ME TO CALL FORD. THIS IS RIDUCULOUS. CAR HAS ACTUALLY BEEN PARKED FOR 3 MONTHS BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE. AFAID I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT IF I DRIVE THIS CAR AND I WILL HOLD FORD FULLY RESPONSIBLE IF THIS HAPPENS. I AM CONSIDERING LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY

EXCESSIVE "SHUDDERING" IN DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP. THIS IS A WIDELY-KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT, BUT FORD HAS NOT DONE ENOUGH TO HELP AFFECTED CUSTOMERS. EVERY FORD TECHNICIAN OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT'S A DESIGN FLAW, AND THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE CAR CAN STOP DEAD IN ITS TRACKS ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CLUTCH FAILS. A RECALL IS WARRANTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAM PACKS FIVE START FORD LOCATED AT 144 N STEMMONS FWY, LEWISVILLE, TX 75067, (469)470-4900 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED ISSUES AT THE TIME OF ACCELERATION AFTER BEING STATIONARY. DUE TO THIS CONDITION, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CALLED BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER, FORD MOTOR COMPANY, FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE VARIOUS TIMES. HOWEVER, AFTER A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, THE VEHICLE STARTS EXPERIENCING THE SAME JERKY ACCELERATION ISSUE AGAIN. DURING THE TIME I USED THE VEHICLE WHILE LIVING IN FLORIDA, THIS CONDITION WAS NOT WORRISOME AS ORLANDO, FL IS A FLAT TERRAIN. HOWEVER, SINCE MOVING TO THE CITY OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA I ENCOUNTER MANY INTERSECTIONS LOCATED IN HILLS, FOR EXAMPLE THE INTERSECTION OF BEECH HAVEN TRAIL AND CUMBERLAND PKWY SE; WHEN AT THE TIME OF ACCELERATION BEFORE TURNING, THE VEHICLE JERKS AND DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE, PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK, SINCE I CAN EASILY BE CRASHED INTO BY THE INCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE DELAY. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE OWNED THIS...

"TAKATA RECALL" OUT OF THE BLUE, MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE ANYMORE. I TOOK IT TO A PLACE TO HAVE IT PUT ON THE MACHINE, AND THE REPORT CAME BACK THAT IT WAS MY CLUTCH FORK AND CLUTCH POSITION B, THAT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT AND CHECKED. WHEN I STARTED CALLING AROUND TO DIFFERENT CAR SHOPS, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL MY EXACT SAME 2011 FORD FIESTA AND THAT THE RECALL WAS DEALING WITH THE SAME TROUBLES I'M HAVING. MY CAR ONLY HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILMES FORD (108 N. VETERANS DR, ALTUS, OK) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I HAVE TWO ISSUES ON MY CAR. THE FIRST AND MOST CONCERNING ONE TO ME IS JITTERING IN THE DRIVETRAIN UP FRONT WHEN TAKING OFF. FEELS LIKE ITS SLIPPING IN BETWEEN GEARS. WHILE DKING THIS IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL COMPONENTS ROLLING CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AS IF THERE WERE SOME SLOP ALLOWING THEM TO FLOAT AROUND SOME. THATS ALL AS FAR AS DRIVETRAIN. MY SECOND ISSUE IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AREA ON CERTAIN BUMPS FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE A STRUTT OR SHOCK HAS WEAR ON IT AND ALLOWING IT TO MAKE FREQUENT THUMPING NOISES WHILE GOING OVER THESE BUMPS. QUITE OFTEN WITH WORN ROADS WHERE I RESIDE. OTHER THAN THESE ISSUES ITS BEEN A REALLY GOOD GAS SAVING CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THE CAR SHAKES AND SHUTTERS. ROUGH WHEN SHIFTING. THE SPEED WILL QUICKLY CHANGE SOMETIMES HAS PROBLEMS STARTING. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. FORD DEALERSHIP NEAR WHERE I LIVE SAYS IT IS THE CLUTCH AND WANTS $1500 JUST TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG. THEY HIGHLY SUGGEST REPLACING WHOLE TRANSMISSION $5700 BECAUSE IF THEY FIX ONE PART AND ANOTHER BREAKS IT WILL COST $1500 JUST TO TAKE APART AGAIN. CRAZY BECAUSE IT HAS ONLY 91000 MILES AND IS ONLY WORTH $4500. HELP I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY FOR FIXING THIS UNSAFE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND FUEL INJECTION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CITRUS MOTORS FORD (1375 S WOODRUFF WAY, ONTARIO, CA 91761, (855) 451-7126) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHUTTERING, STALLING AND JERKING IRRATICLY WHILE IN MOTION, ON THE STREET/ HIGHWAY SOMETIMES ROLLS BACKWARD AND FORWARD ON REVERSE HAVE NOTIFIED MANUFACTURE THEY WON'T HELP PUT IN SHOP REPLACED TRANSMISSION COST 1700 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS BUT WORSE NOW WHEN TURNING JERKS AND SHAKES AND IS LEAKING TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AGAIN NO MECHANIC WILL DO THE WORK PLUS NOW MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD REPAIRS. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ATTEMPT ON REPAIRING THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON THE ROAD CAN CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION. FORD AND OTHER MECHANICS DON'T WANT TO DO THE WORK TO REPAIR THE CAR PLUS ALL MODELS TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY REGARDLESS IF IT GETS REPLACED. CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE MAINTENANCE WARNING AND MAJOR ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT IN DIFFERENT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ELDER FORD OF TAMPA (9560 N FLORIDA AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612, (813) 498-0779) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CLUTCH WARRANTY EXPIRED AFTER SEVEN YEARS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,800.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. FORD HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT EXPIRES AT 100000 MILES. ITS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH FORD FIESTA AND FOCUS DURING A FEW YEARS THAT FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED. CAR WAS PARKED AND AS I STARTED DRIVING IT WAS JERKY AND GEARS WOULD NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. PROBLEM IS NOT CONSTANT. IT COMES AND GOES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULD NOT REVERSE. THE DEALER (SANTA MONICA FORD LINCOLN, 1230 SANTA MONICA BLVD, SANTA MONICA, CA 90404, (310) 451-1588) STATED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THE SAME THING AS THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE MAKING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HESITATION AND INDEPENDENT SHIFTING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOVATCH FORD (423 W CATAWISSA ST, NESQUEHONING, PA), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT OF A 'SILENT RECALL' FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,582. *TT

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A CAR FROM THEM. IT IS IN MY HUSBANDS NAME. MY HUSBAND IS NOT FROM THIS COUNTRY AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THINGS MEAN IN THEIR CONTEXT. THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO US AS IS WITH A BRANDED TITLE. WE ACCEPTED THAT. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS SOLD TO US WITH BROKEN PARTS AND THE REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE TO IT WERE NOT DONE TO STANDARD OEM SPECIFICATIONS. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO US WITH A BROKEN FRONT AXEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HAD THIS COMPLETELY BROKEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE WERE IN A WRECK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. THE CAR IS NOT FIXED AT THIS TIME AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT DUE TO THE PAPERS THAT WERE SIGNED BY MY HUSBAND THAT OF WHICH I AM SURE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS SIGNING BEING SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER...
