THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE MIGHT BE DUE TO A SENSOR OR AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION, THE WHEELS REMAINED SPINNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRESTIGE FORD OF MOUNT DORA 17701 US-441, MT DORA, FL 32757, (352) 357-5522 TO BE DIAGNOSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING FROM A STOP POSITION THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND HESITATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED WOODY SMITH FORD 535 S YELLOWSTONE HWY, REXBURG, ID 83440 (208) 356-3636, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

THE VEHICLE IS STRAINING TO PICK BACK UP SPEED ONCE IT COMES TO A STOP OR SLOWS DOWN. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT SEEMS TO HAVE TROUBLE SWITCHING OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE IT'S A DUAL TRANSMISSION I'M SUSPECTING SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THE CLUTCH THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHUTTER.

CAR REMAINS STUTTERING IDILING HIGH THEN LOW ATEMPS TO SHUT OFF FROM TIME TO TIME, I HAVE TAKING VEHICLE TO GET CHECKED AT LOCAL FORD DEALER ONLY WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS TCM FAILURE OR MAL FUNCTION, THEY REPAIR THE PART IF IT'S AVAILABLE BUT NOW CAR STILL DOES THE SAME THING ONLY DIFFERENCE NO ONCHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON NOW ALL REPAIR HAS TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET BECAUSE THEY SAY NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED SONRHWY HAVE TO GUESS WHATBITNIS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FROM THIS MODEL VEHICLE EVEN HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WHICH I DIDN'T PARTAKE IN AND FORD JUST WON'T RECALL THIS STUPID VEHICLE. I TRUSTED FORD AND FINANCED THIS CAR FOR WHAT IT EVENTUALLY WILL GET US HURT OR EVEN KILLED.

IM NOT SURE IF I HAVE SELECTED CORRECT OPTIONS. BUT ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I SLOW MY CAR AND THEY TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DOES NOT SPEED UP IMMEDIATELY IT TAKE FEW MINUTES. HENCE I HAVE TO ACCELERATE MORE TO MAKE THE CAR RUNNING. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE. QUITE DIFFICULT WHILE SWITCHING LANES ON HIGHWAYS OR TAKING TURNS. SPECIALLY DRIVING IN WINTER IS SCARY. I FIND THE CAR VERY UNPREDICTABLE. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICING CENTRE IN TORONTO CA AT DUFFERIN FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. AFTER INFORMING THEM THEY JUST DISREGARDED SAYING THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL FORD. THINKING IM A WOMEN AND DONT UNDERSTAND MUCH OF CARS I FORGOT ABOUT IT. EVEN WHEN IT RAINS WHILE APPLYING A BRAKE IT STARTLES AND DOESN'T STOP IMMEDIATELY. THIS ISSUE WAS ALSO DISCUSSED WITH THE FORD CENTRE...

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KUNES COUNTRY FORD STATELINE SUPERSTORE OF ANTIOCH (847-395-3900, LOCATED AT 104 ROUTE 173, ANTIOCH, IL 60002) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH ACCELERATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY ROUGH WHEN SHIFTING, HESITATING, SKIPPING, DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY OR EASILY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND BEEN TOLD OTHER TRANSMISSIONS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ON NOVEMBER 3 2019 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MAINTENANCE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE WARNING MESSAGE SAID TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED.

MY CAR HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT AM STILL HAVING ISSUES, EVEN AFTER ALL THE SERVICES AND NOW I AM OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY & THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS DUE TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN THE FORD FIESTAS. I WAS FIRST TOLD IT WAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY BUT TURNS OUT THEY JUST EXTENDED IT TO 150,000 MILES, WHICH I WAS BARELY OVER. I EXPERIENCED LUNGING FORWARD, LOSS OF POWER AND WHAT SOUNDS LIKE METAL SCRAPING AGAINST METAL.

STILL HAVING PROBLEMS SHAKING AND SHUDDERING. LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY.

MY VEHICLE KEEP LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. THEN SLOWLY BUT SURELY, I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. THE CAR WOULD "SHUDDER" IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED RUNNING LOUD. FINALLY, I THINK BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE FLUID LEAK DESPITE ME CONTINUOUSLY ADDING FLUID, THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. I HAD ASKED AROUND AND WAS TOLD MY GEARBOX NEEDED TO BE OILED AND HAVE THE OIL CHANGED, GEAR SHIFT NEEDED REPAIR OR THE INPUT OR OUTPUT FOR THE FRONT END NEEDED REPAIRING.

THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT WITH "ENGINE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW" MESSAGE APPEARING ON THE DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT WILL SPORADICALLY COME ON AND GO OFF. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AFTER READING VARIOUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED, ONLY TSB'S. THERE ARE PENDING LAWSUITS AS WELL - FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR A KNOWN ISSUE AT $350+ THIS NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS UNSTABLE, AND UNSAFE. IF FORD WON'T FIX THIS, I WILL BE FORCED TO FIND AN ATTORNEY.

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR SINCE 2017 AND I WAS THE 5TH OWNER BY 43K MILES DUE TO THE ISSUES THIS CAR HAS HAD. ITS NOW WORKING ON ITS 4TH CLUTCH REPLACEMENT SINCE 43K MILES AND IT ONLY HAS 99400K MILES ON IT . IT NOW HAS A DISTINCT WHINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND FORD JUST CONTINUES TO KICK ME OUT THE DOOR LIKE NOTHINGS WRONG . THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME LEFT AND RIGHT FOR SOMETHING THAT ISNT MY ISSUE . I ALSO HAVE INCLUDED THE WARRANTY REPAIR HISTORY ON THE VEHICLE

VEHICLE SHAKES AND SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION. IT HAS LOUD NOISE AND DECREASED SPEED WHILE ON RAMPS OR INCLINES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A LOT AND WOULD OVERHEAT WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS ALSO A FLUID LEAK UNDER THE VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION JERKS AND SHUDDERS WHEN THE CAR GETS HOT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY AND WHEN THE CAR GOES UPHILL IT ROLLS BACKWARDS.

DELAYED SHIFT AT TAKEOFF; SHUDDER AND SLOW SPEEDS AT ACCELERATION. VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE; SHUDDERS, AND RATTLES. *RECALL REPROGRAM OF PCM AND TCM TWICE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEWEY FORD (3055 SE DELAWARE AVE, ANKENY, IA 50021, 515-963-9575) WHERE THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED THREE OR FOUR TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND CRACKLES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON.

THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AS WELL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE CONTACT FELT AN EXPLOSION AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF ANY WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED BESIDES THE AIR BAG INDICATOR, WHICH WAS ALREADY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD OF ORANGE (1350 W. KATELLA AVENUE, ORANGE, CA 92867, 888-697-3989) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, JERKS, FALLS INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGH SPEEDS AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN LESS THAN A YEAR. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESES DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS

DPS6 TRANSMISSION SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL & NOT GOING BACK INTO GEAR ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS STARTING FROM WHEN I PURCHASED THE PRE-OWNED CAR, JANUARY 2019. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UNEVENLY IN LOWER GEARS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO SHUDDER WITH SLOWED ACCELERATION, THIS HAPPENS EVERY USE. SOMETIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS IS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY PERFORMED MAINTENANCE TO THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE SOMETIMES WHILE OTHER TIMES IT WOULD ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. WAS TAKEN BACK TO WAYNE AKERS FORD WHERE WE PURCHASED AND TOLD THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT COULD NOT BE FIXED UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY NON FUNCTIONING. HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES SINCE. THEN I BROUGHT IT TO AL PACKER FORD WEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR NO ACCELERATION WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR THE ISSUES BUT I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION MET FORD'S DEFINITION OF DEFECT OR DEFUNCT. MY 17YR OLD SON DRIVES THIS CAR AND IT IS NOT SAFE.

MULTIPLE ISSUE'S WITH MY FORD FIESTA (2013) TRANSMISSION. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALER TO GET THE TCM RE-PROGRAMMED ABOUT 3 TIMES AND HAD IT REPLACED TWICE. TAKEN IT BACK FOR THE SHUTTERING ISSUE.CAR WOULD STALL AFTER MOVING FORWARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP. HAVE HAD THE CLUTCHES REPLACED IN IT. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN ON JULY 5TH 2019 FOR AN ISSUE WITH IT SLAMMING INTO REVERSE. WAS TOLD IT WAS READY ABOUT A WEEK LATER ON JULY 11TH. AFTER PAYING $60, THE SERVICE GUY TELLS ME IT WILL NOT GO INTO DRIVE AFTER LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE. I KEEP CALLING AND KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR A TOOL TO COME IN TO TRY AND GET INTO DRIVE. TODAY IS JULY 24TH 2019 AND STILL NO CAR.

TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY SLIPS. TRANSMISSION SURGES AND STALLS DAILY. THE TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY COMPLETELY WENT OUT 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE AND WAS REPLACED - THE TRANSMISSION NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. THIS CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE ON 4 OCCASIONS AND LEFT SERVICE WITH THE SAME OR WORSE SYMPTOMS. EARNHARDT FORD IN CHANDLER, AZ STATED IT WAS FIXED EACH TIME AND PRETENDED THEY DID NOT FEEL THE SLIPS, SURGES AND STALLS WHEN TEST DROVE WITH ME AFTER SERVICE EACH TIME. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY WERE GOING TO DO. **I DO NOT HAVE SERVICE DATES WITH ME AT THIS TIME - THE DATE IN "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" IS A GUESSTIMATE OF THE TIME AROUND SERVICING.

FORD FIESTA TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN A LONG STANDING FORD CUSTOMER AND HAVE TRIED TO STAND BYE THE COMPANY BUT I CAN NO LONGER BE SILENT REGARDING MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR REPEATABILITY REPAIRED, THE CAR HAS PUT ME AT RISK MULTIPLE TIMES, FORD HAS NOT BEEN TRUTHFUL WITH ME ALONG THE WAY. I HAVE COMMUNICATED DIRECTLY TO FORD MY CONCERNS AND THEY HAVE LEFT ME WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE NOR SHOULD I TRY TO DUMP ON SOME UNSUSPECTING PERSON. THE COMPANY, COURT SYSTEM AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THESE CARS ASAP. THIS IS WRONG AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE, IF THIS INFORMATION NEEDS TO GO TO ANOTHER FEDERAL AGENCY, PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH THEM. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DEFECTIVE SAFETY HAZARD SINCE DAY ONE SINCE...

STARTED THE CAR ON ONE HOT AND HUMID DAY AND, WHILE WAITING FOR MY WIFE AND AUNT AT A DRIVEWAY AND WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GEAR SHIFTER, I SAW THE GEAR DISPLAY MOMENTARILY JUMPED FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO PARK ON THE DISPLAY PANEL. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS ODD. THE CAR HAD ALREADY UNDERGONE THREE TRANSMISSION OVERHAULS BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED SO I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT PLAGUED THE CAR, FROM GRINDING GEARS TO SHUDDERING AND SLOW SHIFTING IN LOW SPEED OR AT AN INCLINE, ALL I HAD EXPERIENCED BEFORE. BUT THE SLIPPING GEAR WAS NEW. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AT FIRST AND DROVE OFF WHEN MY WIFE AND AUNT GOT ON. AT THE SECOND STOP SIGN, THE GEAR SLIPPED MOMENT AFTER I ACCELERATED FOLLOWING THE STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL ' NO ABNORMAL...

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2012 IT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO FORD THEY WOULD TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT OR THAT IT WAS SOMETHING I DID. I TOOK IT BACK IN A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT IT STARTED BACK UP SHORTLY AFTER. SO I JUST STOPPED COMPLAINING ABOUT IT SINCE IT SEEMS IT'S A WILD GOOSE CHANCE. ALSO MY STEREO HAS COMPLETELY CUT OUT AND I'VE HAD IT CHECKED AND MY MECHANIC CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A ANYTHING WRONG WITH OR WHY IT HAS CUT OUT AND IT'S BEEN A YEAR I STILL HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

07I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES OF HESITATION, SURGES, BUCKS, JERKS ON ACCELERATION. GOT ERROR MESSAGE "GETTING HOT, PULL OVER AND SHUT CAR OFF". ON LONG TRIP TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN DRIVING AT 40-50 MPH IT WOULD GO OUT OF GEAR AN SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH THEN IT WOULD GO BACK INTO GEAR AND SPEED UP AGAIN. CLUTCH ADAPTIVE NEEDED TO PERFORM A RELEARN. SHIFTS ROUGH OR JERKY WHILE DRIVING, SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY TAKEN TO ROKSTAD FORD MERCURY (476600 US-95, PONDERAY, ID 83852, (208) 263-3127) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,183.

TAMARA RECALL...I AM NOT SURE OF THE YEAR OF THE FIESTA, BUT I RENTED IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO AT LAX AND NOTICED TO MY ALARM THAT IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING AS I DROVE THROUGH MANHATTAN BEACH. FINALLY, IT JUST PLAIN DIED OUT AND I COASTED IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD THE RENTAL GUY COME AND GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR AND RIDE THE PITIFUL FIESTA BACK TO THE AIRPORT, ASSUREDLY IN THE TOW TRUCK. IT WAS THE MOST PITIFUL PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED FROM A RENTAL AND RUINED MY OPINION OF THE AGENCY WHO RENTED IT.

I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER OWNING THE CAR A FEW MONTHS. AT ONLY 30K MILES. THANK GOD IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT INTO A DEALER SINCE BECAUSE OF THE OTHER COMMENTS AND COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN REGARDING THIS CAR. THE CAR CONTINUES TO JERK FORWARD WHEN MOVING FROM A STOP. THE CAR CONSTANTLY SHUDDERS WHEN DRIVING. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. I EVEN HAD TO PULL THE FUSE OUT FOR THE RADIO BECAUSE THE SPEAKERS WOULD CONSTANTLY POP, EVEN WITH THE RADIO OFF. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE EVEN WITH NEW TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS CAR. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REPLACED, THE SAME PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT CONTINUE. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME NOR THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT FIXABLE. I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT...

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW AND IN THE TIME IT'S BEEN BUILT IT'S WORKING ON ITS SIXTH DPS6 CLUTCH REPLACEMENT ! AVERAGE FAILURE IS EVERY 20,000 MILES ! IT NOW HAS 96500 ON IT AND THE WARRANTY IS CLOSE TO EXPIRING AND FORD SHOWS NO INTEREST IN COVERAGE AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF SAID WARRANTY AT 100K MILES

MANY DANGEROUS INSTANCES WHEN THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, JERKS, LURCHES WHEN "ACCELERATING". HAD THE CAR IN FOR "REPAIRS" WELL OVER 10 TIMES AND IT IS NOT FIXED. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR AND THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS AT RISK EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK.. I HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS WHEN DRIVING WITH THE CONSIDERATION THAT THE CAR MAY NOT ACCELERATE DUE TO KNOW TRANSMISSION ISSUES. MANY TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION I COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION. LUCKY I HAVEN'T BEEN INJURED DUE TO THESE KNOWN FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS THAT EXECUTIVES AT FORD RELEASED ANYWAY. . WHEN TURNING, 99% OF THE TIME THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER UNTIL THE CAR STRAIGHTENS OUT. LURCHING, LUNGING UNCONTROLLABLLY AND CONSTANTLY. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PUTTING THE FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND...

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT AND DROVE IT HOME. I AM PART OF THE LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD WITH THE TRANSMISSION CASE

I'M GETTING U3003, AND JUST DRIVING LESS THEN 40 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR JUST SHUTTER-AN LOSE POWER HAVE TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD. THEN WOULD SIT AWHILE TRY TO RESTART IT GIVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I ALMOST GOT HIT ON THE ROAD ON CITY STREET IN MOTION. HAD BUY ANOTHER CAR IT SIT IN PARKING LOT NOW.

TRANSMISSION IS JUNK AND THE RADIO DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE AND HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOWS

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING HAD THE RECALL FIX ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND IT IS SLIPPING AGAIN AND IT IS DOING THIS WHEN I AM DRIVING IT

I`VE HAD PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SINCE PURCHASE CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION

DELAY IN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CAN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO PASS ON TWO-LANE ROADS BECAUSE I CAN'T TRUST THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. IN CRUISE CONTROL, SOMETIMES IT WON'T DECELERATE (ALTHOUGH IT RESPONDS TO BRAKING). THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW DEAD AND MUST BE REPLACED DESPITE THE CAR HAVING ONLY ~85K MILES. IT WAS SERVICED BY FORD UNDER THE POWER TRAIN RECALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO. I DON'T EXPECT ACTION ON THIS. I'M JUST FRUSTRATED TO HAVE TO SPEND $2K ON A 2013 CAR. I REFUSE TO LET FORD WORK ON MY CAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED IT. I TRUST MY MECHANIC MORE.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, STALLS, ERACTIC STARTS, EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSION NOISE AND STALLS OUT WITH RPMS GOING TO OVER 5 WHILE THE CAR STALLS. WHEN STALL HAPPENS IT TAKES ABOUT 40 SECOND TO RE ENGAGE THEN THAT A HARD SHIFT. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO THE DEALER AND FORD BOTH KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM AND NEITHER ADVISE ME OF IT . IF I HAD KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR. IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR FORD HAS REPLACED THE CLUTCH TWICE AND IT IS IN NEED OF A THRIRD REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL - ON TUESDAY 25TH OF JUNE, THECAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND ACTING A LITTLE WEIRD. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I GAVE IT GAS IT WENT INTO TURTLE MODE AND CUT OFF. I TOWED IT TO DARCARS FORD IN LAHNAM, MD. THE TWO WARRANTIES ON THE VEHICLE EXPIRED SO I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS TELLING ME THEY DON'T REPLACE CLUTCH BARREN- SHIFT FORK A- SHIFT FORK B AND SEAT BELT LIGHT WHICH IS ON. NOW I HAFT TO PAY 180.00 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT STILL NEEDS ANOTHER TEST FOR THE SEAT BELT LIGHT. WHAT AM I TO DO IF FORD DOES NOT HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE ON STREETS, TRANSMISSION NOISES LIKE ROCKS, CLICKING, AND JERKING OCCURS CONSTANTLY CONTRIBUTING TO FAILURE TO PROCEED SMOOTHLY FROM A STOP AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN IN PREPARATION OF STOPPING. AT TIMES, THERE IS A SUDDEN SLIPPING WITH JERKING FORWARD, ESPECIALLY IF TRAFFIC AHEAD IS SUDDENLY SLOWING DRAMATICALLY. AT TIMES, WHILE SLOWING TO A FULL STOP, THE VEHICLE "JUMPS" FORWARD THEN STOPS. WHILE SLOWLY TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT OR A U-TURN, THE CAR DELIBERATELY BUCKS AND HESITATES BEFORE COMPLETING THE TURN. THESE CONDITIONS ARE A DAY TO DAY COMMON OCCURRENCE. SPEED OR THE LENGTH OF DISTANCE OR TIME IN USE DOES NOT CHANGE THE STATED CONDITIONS, SOUNDS, OR OCCURRENCES. IT HAS BECOME SCARY TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR OR MORE ON THE FREEWAY AND WHEN I EXIT THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKING CONDITIONS ARE SO MAGNIFIED THAT SLOWING AT THE END OF A RAMP TO STOP...

WHEN PREPARING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND AGAIN, WHEN TRYING TO STOP, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE WHEN SHIFTED INTO ANY GEAR. THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GO INTO GEAR AND THE CAR WILL NO MOVE. SOMETIMES THE SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF "PARK". SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START. TURNING THE KEY FROM "OFF" TO "ON" MAY, OR MAY NOT, ALLOW THE CAR TO START AND THE GO INTO GEAR. THIS CAN HAPPENED AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, AND THEN SHIFTING INTO "D" (DRIVE). IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND THEN THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE.

MY TCS GOES OFF WITHOUT ME SETTING THIS FEATURE AND THEN MY CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS EVEN WHEN IT'S IN THE DRIVE GEAR.
