2014 FORD FIESTA Power Train Problems

VEHICLE STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY. COMPLETELY DEAD, NO LIGHTS, POWER, NOTHING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. FIRST TIME HAD ONLY 1,364 MILES. DEALER HAS NO FIX. RECHARGES BATTERY AND RETURNS TO ME. CASE OPENED WITH FORD, THEY WILL NOT BUY BACK VEHICLE. RESOLUTION FROM FORD EACH TIME: BRING BACK TO DEALER EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS FOR BATTERY RECHARGE. TCM MODULE REPLACED. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM.

THE CAR STARTED NOT ACCELERATING WHEN GAS WAS PUSHED, DELAYED THEN CAUGHT AND JERKED LIKE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD, ALSO THE GAS MILAGE GOT WORSE AFTER OWNING A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. ALMOST HIT BY SEMI-TRUCK GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE! IN TOWN, AT LIGHTS, WOULD JERK WHEN AT A STOP OR AT TAKE OFF, ALMOST CAUSING PEOPLE BEHIND OR FRONT OF ME TO HIT ME. TOOK IT TO ONE LOCAL DEALER, SAID THEY ADJUSTED THE (TCM) TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND IN ABOUT 1000 MILES IT WOULD BE CORRECTED AND WE SHOULD SEE BETTER GAS MILAGE AND NO JERKING OR ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION.. DIDN'T HAPPEN, TOOK TO A DIFFERENT FORD DEALER NEAR US, THEY SAID NO PARTS TO FIX IT. ONE MONTH LATER CALLED THEM BACK ABOUT PART, AND THEY SAID "NO KNOWN FIX FROM FORD AT THIS TIME". THEY SAID WE COULD JUST LEAVE THE CAR WITH...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY VIBRATED AND FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82.

MY CAR SURGES FORWARD ALMOST SQUEALING TIRES, IT MAKES NOISE IT CLUNKS OUT AT STOP FEELS LIKE MY TRANNY IS GOING TO DROP AND DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. TRANSMISSION IS OBVIOUSLY IN SAFE I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO HIT SOMEONE FROM BEHIND THE WAY IT SURGES AT TIMES IT ALSO SPUTTERS AND MOVES DOWN HILL WHEN STOPPED DRAGS WHEN DRIVING UP HILL. I HAD TO TAKE IT IN THEY REPLACED MODULAR AND TRANNY SEAL. BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. *TR

MY VEHICLE STARTS SHRUGGING & SHIVERING WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE SHIVER IS AT TIMES TOO HARD TO CONTROL AND CAN'T FOCUS ON DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN THE FOURTH TIME WITH THE SAME CLUTCH ISSUE AND THE DEALER SAYS I GOT TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY GET A NEW CLUTCH ORDERED WHICH IS 21 WEEKS FROM NOW. I HAVE A KID AT THE BACK SEAT AND NOT COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. *TR

SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT WORD DOCUMENT FOR FULL DETAILS. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR TWO YEARS NOW, I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2014. AT THE TIME I WAS COMMUTING 120 MILES DAILY TO SUPPORT A PROJECT. I WAS VERY EARLY ON THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND SHAKE. I RETUNED IT FIRST FOR A DEFECTIVE TIRE, DEFECTIVE BACKUP SENSOR AND UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. KINGS FORD (CINCINNATI OH) REPLACED THE TIRE (I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TIRE), REPLACED THE BACKUP SENSOR (WARRANTY) AND 'RESET/UPDATED' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE. AFTER THIS, I RETUNED THE VEHICLE MULTIPLY TIMES FOR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. AFTER ABOUT TWO MORE TIMES OF KINGS FORD 'RESETTING/UPDATING' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE CLUTCHES. THIS WAS AT 20,000 MILES. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO KINGS FORD TWO MORE TIMES FOR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. EACH TIME THEY 'RESET/UPDATED' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE. YESTERDAY,...

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SLIPS GEAR AS YOU ACCELERATE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR FROM A STOP, BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. DEALER STATES THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 32,212 MILES.

CAR SHUDDERS IN STOP AN GO TRAFFIC BETWEEN 1-5 SECONDS IN 1ST GEAR AND 2ND GEAR AFTER THE CAR IS WARM/HOT FROM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR SHUDDERS ON TURNS RANDOMLY ON SIDE STREETS/CITY STREETS. WHEN THE CAR IS HOT AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING IT HAS DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING, SPECIFICALLY A DELAY AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT WHEN TURNING LEFT BETWEEN 2-3 SECONDS. THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A RATTLE NOISE BETWEEN NEUTRAL, 1ST GEAR, 2ND GEAR AND SOMETIMES 3RD GEAR NO MATTER WHERE I'M DRIVING OR FOR HOW LONG. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AFTER PUTTING IT INTO PARK ON HOT DAYS THE CAR WILL MAKE A BIG JERK AND LOUD NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. TO MAKE A NOTE THIS DID NOT HAPPEN JUST ON A SPECIFIC DAY BUT CONTINUOUSLY OVER THE 2 YEARS (MOSTLY DURING THE SUMMER AND VERY LITTLE DURING THE WINTER) I HAVE HAD THE CAR EVEN AFTER 5...

I BOUGHT MY 2014 FORD FIESTA IN DECEMBER 2013 AND SHORTLY AFTER THIS THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS BOUGHT FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS RESOLVED FOR SOME TIME, BUT THE ISSUE IS NOW RESURFACING. THE FIESTA TENDS TO SHUDDER AND HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND HAS MADE IT DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS OR WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP TO ENTER A HIGHWAY.

THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE CAR TO REV UP WHILE DRIVING OR TO JERK AS IF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO STALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION MODULE FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME. LURCHES, ENGINE REVS, NO POWER, FAILS TO GO. FORD PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FOR 30 DAYS OR MORE.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY CAR SINCE 3 MONTHS AFTER MY PURCHASE. EVERYTIME I TAKE THE CAR IN TO BE SERVICED THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING "NOTHING IS WRONG" BUT I HAVE MY CARS VEHICLE HEALTH REPORTS THE PAST YEARS AND THEY ALL SAY THE RECALL IS AN ERROR MY CAR HAS LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD HAVING TO BE TOWED, ALSO HAD THEM SUGGEST BUYING A NEW BATTERY AFTER A YEAR IS RIDICULOUS, ALSO THE FAN MOTOR ON THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE STILL OVERHEATS TODAY AS WE SPEAK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN A AWFUL WORRY EVERYDAY DRIVING WILL IT OVERHEAT OR IS THE TRANSMISSION GOING TO GO TODAY? I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. FORD HAS ALSO ACCEPTED THEIR PART IN...

THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAS BEEN RES CONFIGURED ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE TIMES. CAR VIBRATES AND HAS ISSUES WITH ACCELARATION. DEALERS WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT WARRANTIES KEEP GETTING EXTENDED BY FORD. I STARTED HAVING THE ISSUE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

WHEN I ACCELERATE ON TAKE OFF MY CAR SHUTTERS BAD AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO

2014 FORD FIESTA 1.6L WITH " POWER SHIFT " DUAL CLUTCH 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2016, USED WITH 36,675 MILES FORD FACTORY CERTIFIED ( CP0 ), WITHIN 1200 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AND SHUDDER UP HILLS, DEALER PREFORMED AN ADAPTIVE RELEARN ON THE TCM, CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SHUDDER AND GRINDING NOISE IN REVERSE, THEN AS WELL AS IN FORWARD GEARS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AND 10,00 MILES AFTER PURCHASE OF THE CAR. TOOK CAR BACK INTO DEALER AND DEALER STATED THE CLUTCHES FAILED THE REQUIRED TEST TO DETERMINE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCHES AGAIN. ( CLUTCHES WERE REPLACED AT 28K MILES WITH PREVIOUS OWNER). DEALER STATED THEY WOULD ORDER THE CLUTCHES AND NOTIFY WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS AUGUST 11TH 2016 THE CAR HAD 47,268 MILES AT TIME OF SERVICE. THE DEALER NEVER ISSUED A RENTAL CAR...

I GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE TCM. HAD THE CLUTCH MODULE REPLACED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. STILL SHUTTERS WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. ALMOST COSTED ME AN ACCIDENT WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT DIDNT WANT TO ENGAGE. AFTER THIS CAR IS PAID OFF... I WILL NEVER BUY AN AMERICAN CAR AGAIN. BTW. FORD TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL THE TCM FAILS COMPLETELY.

PURCHASED CAR IN JUNE 2014 AND IN SEPTEMBER 2014 I BEGAN SEEING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE RECALL EVERY TIME I DID A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT TOOK IT IN EVERY TIME THE REPORT CAME BACK, EVERY TIME THE FORD PLACE I BOUGHT IT SAID THEY COULD DO NONTHING TO HELP IN EARLY MARCH THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY QUIT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED ONLY TO HAVE THE FORD PLACE TELL ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE CAR WAS BARELY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND SO I DID AND THEY SAID THAT I COULD KEEP BRINGING THE CAR BACK BUT FORD WOULD NOT LET THE FIX THE MODULE DUE TO WHATEVER. THEY DID EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 36K TO 60 K WHICH LEADS ME TO THIS POINT I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 MORE TIMES EACH TIME I HAVE TO LEAVE THE...

TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY 2014, SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER, SHAKE AND JERK WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR SIMPLY SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE COMPUTER "LEARNING HOW I DRIVE". I GAVE IT SOME TIME AND EVEN TRAVELED CROSS COUNTRY FROM AZ TO NC AND HAD PROBLEMS THE WHOLE WAY. IN 2015, I FINALLY HAD IT WITH HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS BECOMING TO DRIVE AND TOOK IT IN TO COMPLAIN AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO A LEAKING CLUTCH WHICH THEY REPLACED IN A FEW DAYS. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO OCCUR AGAIN AND I TOOK IT IN TO FORD FOR TESTING AGAIN. THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CLUTCH AND IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE MONTHS TO GET THE NEW CLUTCH...

CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD EXACTLY, TRANSMISSION NO LONGER WORKING, ONLY 20,000 MILES ON CAR. WILL ACCELERATE ON OWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, WILL GRIND, CRANK AND CRUNCH WHEN SHIFTING GEARS ALL THE WHILE JOLTING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. HAVE BEEN JOLTED INTO A CROSSWALK WHEN PRESSING ON THE BREAKS DUE TO THE CAR DOWNSHIFTING. IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION.

I PURCHASED A 2014 FIESTA WITH 17K MILES IN JANUARY 2016. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP LONGER THAN I HAVE OWNED IT. 2 WEEKS FOR THEM TO REPROGRAM THE TCM, REPLACE A FAULTY SEATBELT, AND REPLACE BLOWN SPEAKERS. NO LOANER. NOW THE CLUTCHES HAVE FAILED. THEY PUT ME IN A LOANER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND NOW WANT ME TO RETURN THE LOANER AND DRIVE MY CAR WITH NO CLUTCH WHILE THEY WAIT FOR PARTS. I HAVE REFUSED TO RETURN THE LOANER UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED. I'VE ESCALTED IT ALL THE WAY UP TO CORPORATE AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME OR GET BACK TO ME. EVERY CAR PAYMENT I HAVE MADE HAS BEEN WHEN I DO NOT HAVE THE CAR TO DRIVE. I'M GETTING REALLY FRUSTRATED. 20 DAYS IN SERVICE NOW. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A BROKEN CLUTCH. IT ACCELERATES ERRATICALLY...

THE CAR IS HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUE. YOU NEED TO PRESS HEAVY ON THE GAS FOR IT TO MOVE FROM STOP POSITION OR ON A SLIGHT SLOPE. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT TIMES WILL JERK WHEN YOU TRY TO SPEED UP ON THE HIGHWAY TO MERGE LANES. THE RPM AT TIMES WILL JUMP. THE ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. TODAY THE CAR WOULD NOT GO UP A SLOPE. THE STARTED TO ROLL BACK. THIS IS A REAL ISSUE WHEN THERE IS SNOW. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEAL SHIP 2 TIMES NOW. LAST TIME I TOOK IT THEY NOTED THAT NO FAULT FOUND AT THIS TIME.. SO I GUESS NOTHING WAS FIXED. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR AND THE DEAL SHIP SAID THE NEEDS AT LEAST 20KM AND COMPUTER SYSTEM WILL KICK IN OR SOMETHING TO THAT...

TRANSMISSIONS IS FAULTY. CAR SHAKES, SHUDDERS, AND HESITATES DURING SHIFT CHANGE AS WELL AS BRAKING. FORD IS AWARE OF NATIONWIDE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REPLACING PART WITH SAME FAULTY PART.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN SEP 2015. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE CAR, I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD STALL/SHAKE/JOLT BETWEEN 20-30 MPH. IT GETS TO THE POINT WERE THE JUST DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE CONCER FOR SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE DRIVE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A LEMON THAT NOBODY WANTS, AND NOW IM STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CRAP CAR.

TAKATA RECALL I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FIESTA AUTOMATIC AT A FORD DEALERSHIP IN ELIZABETHTON TN, THE SALESMAN TOOK ME FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 19,000 MILES ON IT WITH ONE OWNER.... BUT NOW I RELEASE WHY THE OWNER TRADED THE CAR IN, AFTER YOU DRIVE IT FOR A FEW HOURS THE TRANSMISSION REALLY ACTS UP.... I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM THE REAR TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING IT, CAUSE IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR THE CAR SHAKES LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS FALLING APART, AND WILL NOT TAKE OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DOING THAT. SO WITH THIS CAR YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS COMING FOR A LONG WAYS BEFORE YOU PULL OUT, CAUSE IF YOU THINK YOU CAN PULL OUT IN A HURRY FORGET IT CAUSE YOUR SHAKE ALL OVER IN THIS CAR, AND...

TAKATA RECALL : THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE MAKES MY CAR FEEL UNSAFE. AT RANDOM AND QUITE OFTEN WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WILL TREMBLE AND SHAKE WHICH DISABLES ME FROM DRIVING AT THE CORRECT SPEED. MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT SPEED UP CORRECTLY WITH THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS WITH TURNING, WITH OUT TURNING, WITH SPEEDING UP, FROM STOP GOING INTO MOTION, AND IT INCLUDES BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AND AM TAKING IT BACK AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW, AND FEELS LIKE IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE NOR CAN TOLERATE THESE ISSUES.

TRANSMISSION IS JERKY, HESITANT, DANGEROUSLY NOT RESPONDING IN TRAFFIC WHEN NEED TO ACCELERATE EXTISTS. INTO FORD SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIRS BUT SEEMS TO GET WORSE INSTEAD OF BETTER. TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS AT SHIFT POINTS, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, AND USUALLY ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP. SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO ACTUALLY SHIFT INTO A GEAR. USUALLY OCCURS AT 10-15 MPH, AND/OR 20 - 25 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS CHECKED; FIRST TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT ANYTHING WRONG. SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND RESET THE TCM; BUT IT ONLY GOT WORSE FROM THERE. LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID IT WAS WITHIN RANGE BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS SUFFICIENTLY WARMED UP FOR THEM TO HAVE PROPERLY TESTED IT. STILL SHIMMIES AND RUMBLES AT SHIFT POINTS ONCE IT'S WARMED. DATE OF MOST RECENT SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALER IS ENTERED BELOW.

I AM BUYING AND PAYING FOR AN UNSAFE AND WORTHLESS CAR. CAN YOU HELP? I AM 66 WITH LITTLE INCOME. THIS CAR SHUDDERS AND HESITATES OFTEN. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER IN HUTTO, TX, THAT I HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT SHUDDERS AND THEY WILL CHECK IT AND ORDERS PARTS THAT WILL TAKE 2 MONTHS. THE "SHUDDER" HAPPENS ON AND OFF, SO CHANCES OF THIS HAPPENING WHEN I TAKE IT TO DEALER ARE PER CHANCE. THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MANY PEOPLE ARE JUST LEAVING THESE FIESTAS. I CANNOT DO THAT. I BOUGHT IT USED FROM ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL. THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY EMAILS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE. I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL GO FORWARD WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS OR NOT. PLEASE HELP ME. WHAT CAN I DO? I WAS SOLD A HORRIBLE CAR....

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF UP HILL HOLDING FUNCTION AND ROLLS BACK INTO OTHER CARS. THIS HAS OCCURED ON MY CAR AFTER THE RECENT FORD FIX TO THEIR TRANSMISSION DESIGN THAT FIXED THE ROUGH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ON THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. THE SEQUENCE IS: COME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT ON A HILL, CAR HOLDS THE NORMAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FUNCTION OF HOLDING THE CAR'S POSITION, BUT WITHIN 30 SECONDS THE TRANSMISSION ASSUMES A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FUNCTION AND BEGANS TO ROLL BACKWARDS INTO THE CAR BEHIND YOU. TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD GARAGE (GILLIS AUTO CENTER, SHELTON, WA 98584) WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A FORD DESIGN (DEFICIENCY) AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO FIX IT. THERE IS NO SAFETY NOTICE PUT OUT BY FORD ON THE PROBLEM.

ALLOW ME TO BE #100 FOR COMPLAINTS ON THE 2014 FORD FIESTA!! MAYBE AFTER 100 COMPLAINTS FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL DO SOMETHING TO HELP US ALL !! PURCHASED THE NEW 2014 FORD FIESTA IN AUGUST 2014. BY THE TIME I WENT IN FOR MY FIRST OIL CHANGE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHAKING, JERKING, SLIPPING, SHUDDERING UPON LIGHT ACCELERATION ON GAS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THEN THE CAR IS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. I'VE EXPRESSED MY COMPLAINT/PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HE SAID IT'S NORMAL, PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ALL THE TIME AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. AS OF TODAY'S DATE THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST, I'VE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN RESOLVED. AND I CAN TELL IT'S GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY....

THIS 2014 FORD FIESTA VEHICLE HAS SOME MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES: SLIPPING, CLUNKING, CHUGGING, JERKING, SHUTTERING, AND RATTLING WHEN DOING SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE WHEN A TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS WHEN I BEGIN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AND THE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THAT TIME PERIOD. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO A FORD REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC COMPLETED A REPROGRAMMING OF SOME TYPE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE REPROGRAMMING TYPICALLY RESOLVES THE ISSUES THAT THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING; BUT THE ISSUES STILL REMAIN, IN FACT, IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. THE HESITATION OF THIS VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE LEAVES ME FEELING UNSAFE. MOTORISTS IN PASSING VEHICLES ARE ZOOMING BY ME AS I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS CAR TO GO. IN ADDITION, WHEN I FIRMLY PRESS THE GAS PETAL, THE CAR HESITATES...

HAVE HAD MY CAR REPAIRED 5 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION (CLUTCH) ISSUES. INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LUNGING INTO INTERSECTIONS WHEN TRANSMISSION ENGAGES, NOT RESPONSIVE AT TAKE OFF. CHUGGING AT TAKE OFF, MISSED SHIFTS. CAR HAS LESS THAN 31,000 MILES

CAR SHAKES AND SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY WHILE ACCELERATING. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS. HAS DONE THIS ON THE STREET WHEN LEAVING A STOP SIGN, WHEN ACCELERATING/TURNING INTO A BUSY STREET FROM A PARKING LOT, AND ALSO WHILE GOING ABOUT 15MPH (SLOWED DOWN FOR CAR AHEAD OF ME TO TURN, THEN AS I ACCELERATED I GOT THE SHUDDERING FEELING).

EVERY TIME I TRY TO GIVE MY CAR GAS, IT DOESN;'T MOVE RIGHT AWAY AND STARTS TO SPUTTER BEFORE IT WILL GO ANYWHERE. SAME GOES FOR SLOWING DOWN AND PRESSING THE GAS AGAIN. IVE GOTTEN THIS "FIXED" THREE TIMES AND IT IS NOT SAFE ESPEICALLY WITH A SEVEN MONTH RIDING ALONG WITH ME. IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE, PULLING OUT AFTER PARKING, AT A STOP LIGHT, AND A STOP SIGN, ANYWHERE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT STARTED IT, IT STARTED TO HAPPEN A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW. ITS TECHNICALLY NOT RECALLED YET BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN MOST FIESTAS.

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WILL SHAKE AS IT GOES INTO FIRST GEAR. AS THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL SHAKE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN LAUNCH FORWARD IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DELAY CAUSES ME TO GET HIT, OR THE LAUNCHING FORWARD CAUSES ME TO HIT SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE THAT STARTED HAPPENING IN MY CAR ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, AND HAS GOTTEN CONTINUOUSLY WORSE
