The transmission control module (TCM) on my 2015 Ford Fiesta was failing at 81,000 miles. It was difficult to accelerate the car even at low speeds (25-30 mph) and my check engine light was on. I took my vehicle to the nearest Ford Dealership (Big Star Ford in Manvel, TX) who assessed my vehicle and determined the TCM needed to be replaced. They replaced the part but told me it was not under the 14M02 warranty. My check engine light did come on once back in May and the car was struggling to speed up but when I took it to a car shop the check engine light was not on and the mechanic said it was fine.
Clutch and actuators diagnosed as needing to be replaced. This was a recall / campaign from ford . I did not own the vehicle when recall was sent out in 2019. The new clutch has not been installed and now needs to be . Also, Very low mileage on this vehicle . Ford should stand by its product and replace the recall free of charge .

I’ve owned my 2015 Ford Fiesta for about 7 years now. Within the first year, I contacted the Ford dealership explaining noises when driving and my dual clutch shifting gears. I sent them video sound recordings. They said it was typical of this transmission. The car has never felt smooth but “ok enough,” until 18months ago when I reported gears slipping. No error codes were detected but parts of my clutch were replaced. Now, 16,000 miles later I brought my car into ford dealership saying I felt the gears slipping. They diagnosed a few other maintenance pieces like brakes and tires but said nothing was detected with the transmission and clutch. 3 weeks later, I was driving on a highway - lake shore drive in chicago, and my check engine light came on. My car would not change gears or accelerate past the 30mph I had been going. I felt...

Ford Fiestas such as my vehicle as well as Ford Focus have been shown to have transmission issues and Ford has failed to perform a widespread recall. I bought my vehicle a year and a half ago from a Ford dealership and it has less than 75,000 miles and now has a transmission issue(transmission clutch shudder diagnosed by Ford dealership) that could cause the vehicle to suddenly stop moving or slip gears. No warning lights have come on. While researching this issue I found that a previous lawsuit regarding the failed part on my car did not include my vehicle and many others that have the same issue.
While driving vehicle, engine began to rev and became unresponsive to gas pedal. After slowing to a stop, vehicle began to respond to gas pedal and transmission began shuttering violently. Took to local mechanic and he won’t work on it because he said it is a “pattern problem “. $250.00 to diagnose the obvious. Someone could be killed when the transmission suddenly stops working like that in freeway traffic.
The Vehicle made a loud noise and jolted, the check engine light came on and the screen said "Transmission fault service immediately." I had the car checked by a local mechanic who advised me to contact Ford customer service since this has been a big issue with the Ford Fiestas. Customer service advised me to take the car to a dealership for testing, there they recommended that I have the entire transmission replaced but said it wouldn't fall under the warranty since it's the clutch that needs replaced. There are numerous customer satisfaction programs for the Ford Fiesta clutch and transmission (Campaign #s 16M02, 19N07, 19N08, & 14M02) but none of them include the VIN number on my vehicle.
TCM has now faulted twice on my Ford Fiesta. My Fiesta was built 7/9/2015. My TCM was replaced under standard power train warranty in 10/2019 at 47,000 miles. 02/2023 my TCM has faulted again at 68,500 miles and needs to be replaced. Ford extended its warranty on TCMs for their Fiesta models to 10 years 150,000 miles for fiestas built between 11/3/2009 and 6/30/2015. My car is out of the extended warranty build date parameters by 9 days, however now already needing 2 TCM replacements it is apparent my car does have defects and should be covered.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission slipped from drive(D) to neutral(N) and the vehicle shuddered significantly. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving and would persist at times while turning off and restarting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that the gear shifter failed, and the failure was related to an unknown Ford Campaign Number that had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Received extended warranty notice in September, 2019. Vehicle is still under 100,000 miles and was purchased in 2018. DPS6 module failed and caused break to lock up and all accessories in vehicle to stop performing. Had to get work done and ford required me to pay for replacement and labor of defective part. Clutch seems to not shift properly and causes a shuddering in the transmission. I have difficulty accelerating after coming to a complete stop (such as at a light). Reported these issues to dealership I had purchased vehicle from in 2018, shortly after purchase. Everyone continued to tell me there was no defect with the transmission or the clutch. I went to a few different ford dealers to inquire about the extended warranty notice on the powershift transmission: “Ford Motor Company's commitment is not only to manufacture high-quality, reliable products, but to also achieve full customer satisfaction. To...

The dealer completed the repair but the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle...
When accelerating, there is a shuddering sensation as you can feel the clutches slipping. The shifting is also sluggish at times. When in "sport mode" an error state can occur where the transmission fails to shift gears altogether and a warning comes up on the dashboard to service the transmission immediately. While that error is up, the shuddering becomes much worse and the engine will try to lurch forward at random times when it chooses the wrong gear. This lurching will fight the brakes too, decreasing stopping distance if the driver isn't extra diligent. This error state is cleared by stopping and starting the car again. There are no other visible dashboard warnings associated with this issue in daily driving. I took it to a local service center to be diagnosed and they determined it was either a worn clutch or a faulty TCM in need of a replacement. I...
Transmission does not shift correctly. Ford refuses to address the issues. This model was proven to have a faulty design. When will there be a recall? Before someone gets killed?
