2011 Ford Fiesta Complaint Log

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON THIS DATE. APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS DATE I NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AT AN ERRATIC RATE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO A FORD CERTIFIED MECHANIC I DISCOVERED THAT MY CAR DID NOT TURN ON, AND THE REASON I WAS EXPERIENCING ERRATIC ACCELERATION, WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEFECT IN MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION. ON 05/22/2015, WHILE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE I EXPERIENCED A CONSIDERABLE DELAY IN SHIFTING GEARS AND MY CAR'S DISPLAY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR IN MY TRANSMISSION. IT APPEARS THAT THE ERROR MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WAS EXPERIENCING WAS NOT PROPERLY FIXED OR THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF IS INHERENTLY FLAWED IF IT REQUIRES CONSTANT REPAIRS.

2011 FORD FIESTA SES, MANUAL TRANSMISSION: CAR STARTED STALLING ABOUT 3 OR 4 MOS AGO WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP. YESTERDAY, IT STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING!!! NOW I DON'T DARE GET BEHIND THE WHEEL! I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN '11 BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL NOW. AND NOW ALL I WANT TO DO IS DUMP IT! *TR

UPON ACCELERATING AT A LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AND THE MOTOR WOULD NO LONG PROPEL THE CAR FORWARD. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING, BUT NO POWER WAS BEING DISTRIBUTED TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE THE WHEELS. I WAS LEFT COASTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SIX LANE ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR AND COULD NOT MOVE AS THE CAR COASTED TO A HALT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN THE CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK AND THE SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF RESTARTING IT WOULD DO ANYTHING, BUT THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. NOW I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, DURING RUSH HOUR, WITH A CAR THAT WON'T START, AND WON'T COME OUT OF PARK. BECAUSE OF THIS I COULD NOT EVEN ROLL THE CAR TO A PLACE OF SAFETY ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE FOR ONE HOUR NARROWLY ESCAPING CRASHING MANY TIMES UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK FINALLY SHOWED UP. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ALSO COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND HAD TO DRAG IT UP THE TOW RAMP AS THE FRONT WHEELS WOULD NOT ROLL. *TR

FIESTA WENT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE MOVING. IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO 'DRIVE' OR REVERSE OR 'LOW' UNTIL STOPPED ( IN TRAFFIC ) , KILLED ENGINE, AND RESTARTED. BRAKE PEDDLE FELT 'LOCKED' WHEN RE-STARTING. IT RAN OK UNTIL LATER IN DAY WHEN IT FAILED TO DRIVE AT ALL AND WAS TOWED TO DEALER. FAILURE WAS ALWAYS WHEN MOVING IN TRAFFIC.

PASSENGER REAR DOOR LOCK WON'T LOCK, AND DOOR FLIES OPEN. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THIS SITE BEFORE. NO HELP FROM DEALER/FORD SO FAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED/RESOLVED AS SUCH. *TR

AS THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN THE TRANSMISSION IS AUTOMATICALLY PUT INTO NEUTRAL. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE CAR DOES NOT CONTINUE TO GO SINCE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. WE HAD THIS "FIXED" WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. THE DEALER REPORTED IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY AND THE COMPUTER DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. BUT, THE NEW BATTERY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 WEEKS LATER AS WE WERE DRIVING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT FOR A TOW. WE STILL HAVE NO REPORT ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS AFTER 3 DAYS. THE FIRST TIME IN THE SHOP AFTER THE CAR SAT OVER NIGHT IT RAN NORMALLY THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY COULD DRIVE IT IN THE GARAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

FORD KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS IT SHIFTS HARD AND LOSSES THE GET UP AND GO. *TR

CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS STALLING WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS IT WOULD NOT MOVE WAITED A FEW SECOND'S AND IT STARTED TO GO DROVE ABOUT 100 YARDS SAME THING AGAIN, CAME OUT OF IT AGAIN DROVE TOWARDS HOME ABOUT 3 MILES IT LOST ALL POWER TRANSMISSION COULD NOT FIND THE GEAR LOOKING AT DASH SAW IT SEARCHING, FINALLY IT WENT INTO DRIVE, DROVE ANOTHER 5 MILES AND SAME THING AGAIN THIS TIME IT WAS SHIFTING ON ITS OWN FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE AND HIGH LOW RANGES, SAT THERE WAITING ON IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE DROVE IT HOME AND. CALLED ROCHESTER FORD DROPPED IT OF THEY SAID IT SHIFTED BETTER THEN ANY FIESTA THEY EVER TRIED WIFE DROVE IT HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME IT DID SAME THING, CONTEMPLATING NEXT STEP. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR OFTEN SHUTTERED BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR OCCASION, WOULD NOT ENGAGE FORWARD OR REVERSE. A NEW TRANSMISSION MODULE WAS INSTALLED IN THE CAR AND IT IS ACCEPTABLE, CURRENTLY. UNFORTUNATELY, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FORM 14M01 DOES NOT INCLUDE REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION MODULE (PART AE8Z7Z369D). 1300 DOLLARS PLUS TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I AM TRYING TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FORD. IT IS IN THE INVESTIGATION PHASE AND MAY BE BROUGHT ON BY WWW.CHIMICLES.COM. PLEASE JOIN US. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE ONLY WAY ANYTHING TRULY GOOD WILL COME OUT OF OUR HARDSHIPS IS IF WE HIT FORD IN THE WALLET. *TR

CAR DID NOT MOVE COULD NOT FIND THE GEARS HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD, I WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME BUT THIS TIME WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AND WHILE PUSHING OUT OF THE WAY ALMOST GOT HIT. I WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY GEAR. I APPEARS THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT FOR A FIX IT IS A BAD GROUND BOLD AND A DEFECTIVE MODULE. I FEEL THERE MAY BE OTHER CARS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN ACCIDENTS THAT RESULTED FROM THIS. THERE IS NOTHING SCARIER THEN SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE AND GETTING OUT OF THE CAR TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY IS SUICIDAL.I AM GRATEFUL TO ROCHESTER FORD FOR GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND AT NO COST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH A COLLISION TOOK PLACE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

WHEN GOING FROM A STOP TO A START THE CAR ACTS AS IT POPS OUT OF GEAR AND SHAKES, SPUTTERS AND THE RPMS RAPIDLY RISE...THOUGH IT IS IN GEAR AND NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THIS IS CAUSING GREAT CONCERN HAD OTHER TRAFFIC BEEN COMING...I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

CAR WAS STALLING OUT / DYING REPEATEDLY IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS FROM A DEAD STOP AND THEN WOULD STALL OUT COMPLETELY. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO START THE CAR, AND THEN PUT IT IN GEAR TO GET THE CAR TO DRIVE AGAIN. IF I WERE IN TRAFFIC, AND THEN DECIDED TO TURN LEFT TO CROSS OVER THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, MY CAR COULD HAVE STALLED AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS DEFECT. I TOOK IT IN TO GET REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR THIS PART. *TR

UNEXPECTEDLY REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULDN'T LATCH OR CLOSE. LATCHING MECHANISM HAD TO BE REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP AT COST TO OWNER. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, I SAW THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR DISPLAY FLICKERING THROUGH THE GEARS. ON GREEN I TRIED TO GO BUT, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, IT DID NOT GO BUT THE ENGINE REVVED. I WAITED FOR THE NEXT RED, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT WENT. IT WAS PARKED ALL DAY. WHEN I STARTED IT UP AGAIN, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF, THINKING IT MIGHT HAVE ONLY BEEN A GLITCH. I DROVE HOME ONTO I-295 AT 65MPH SPEED AND ALL OF SUDDEN IT STARTED AGAIN, ENGINE LIGHT ON, TRANSMISSION SELECTOR GOING THROUGH ALL GEARS, AND I LOST POWER TO THE WHEEL. LUCKILY I COASTED TO AN OFF RAMP, BEFORE I WAS FLATTENED BY SEMITRACTORS. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, AND THE CAR DROVE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I FINALLY GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW I AM JUST WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. *TT

ON, 04/08/14, MY CAR WAS LOSING ACCELERATION AS I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH ON A MAJOR ROAD. THE ACCELERATION SLOWED AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE GEAR DISPLAY WAS FLASHING FROM P TO D, OVER AND OVER. I TOWED MY CAR TO CAL WORTHINGTON FORD OF ANCHORAGE. THEY CALLED ME ON 04/11/14- VERIFIED CEL. SELF TEST =P06B8, P0884, RAN OASIS=FOUND TSB 13-11-2. AND THEY REPROGRAMMED PCM, TCM AND PERFORMED TRANSMISSION CLUTCH ADAPTIVE LEARN, CLEAR CODES AND RETEST=PASS. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND 3 DAYS LATER 04/14/14, MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS ON ON 04/08/14. MY CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE GEAR DISPAY WAS FLASHING AGAIN P TO D, OVER AND OVER. I TOWED MY CR BACK TO CAL WORTHINGTON FORD. AFTER HAVING MY CAR OVER A MONTH, ON 05/09/14 IT WAS READY. THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH SUPPOSEDLY BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK SAYING SO. ON 05/13/14, THE ACCELERATION SHLOWED AND THE GEAR DISPLAY SWITCHING FROM D, P, R, L OVER AND OVER. I TOWED IT BACK TO CAL WORTHINGTON AND THEY HAD MY CAR UNTIL 05/21/14. SELF TEST=P06B8, TESTED CHARGING SYSTEM AND BATT= BATT PASS END CHARGES AT 14.3V CONSTANT, NO UPDATES AVAIL. CLEARED CODE AND RETEST =P06B8 COMES BACK. REPLACE PCM, PROGRAMMED PCM, KEYS AND PREFORMED TRANS CLUTCH ADAPTIVE STRATEGY. CLEAR CODE AND RETEST=PASS. TERT DRIVE = RUN AND DRIVES FINE, NO LIGHT. NEXT DAY, MY ENGINE STOPPED ON MY STREET, GEAR DISPLAY FLASHING D,P,R,L OVER AND OVER. TOWED BACK TO CAL WORTHINGTON AND THEY HAD MY CAR UNTIL 06/05/14. I DO NOT HAVE THE PAPERWORK FOR THAT REPAIR.

ON APRIL 8, 2014, MY 2011 FORD FIESTA WAS LOSING ACCELERATION. AS I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS AND GOING ABOUT 45 MPH, THE ACCELERATION SLOWED AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY STOPPED. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY! ALSO, THE GEAR DISPLAY WAS FLASHING FRO P TO D, OVER AND OVER. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO CAL WORTHINGTON FORD OF ANCHORAGE ON APRIL 9, 2014 AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING. MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP ON APRIL 11, 2014. THEY REPROGRAMMED OR REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY PAPERWORK OR A DETAILED EXPLANATION ON THE REPAIRS. ON APRIL 14, 2014 MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS ON APRIL 8. THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STALLED IN TRAFFIC. I VIDEOTAPED ALL OF IT. I CAN EMAIL IT TO YOU, IF YOU WOULD LIKE. THE GEAR DISPLAY WAS FLASHING AGAIN FROM D TO P OVER AND OVER. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO CAL WORTHINGTON ON APRIL 15, 2014. THEY GOT ME A RENTAL CAR UNTIL 05/09/14, THEN I WAS MOVED TO ONE OF THEIR LOANER CARS. ON 05/12/14, MY CAR WAS READY AGAIN. SUPPOSEDLY THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH. ON MAY 13, 2014, THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN! THE ACCELERATION SLOWED AND THE GEAR DISPLAY WAS SWITCHING FROM D, P, R, L, OVER AND OVER. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO CAL WORTHINGTON ON MAY 14, 2014 AND I HAD ANOTHER LOANER CAR. THEY HAD MY CAR UNTIL MAY 21, 2014. THE NEXT MORNING, THE ENGINE STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN, WHICH IS ABOUT 100 FEET AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. MY CAR WOULD NOT START, THE GEAR DISPLAY WAS FLASHING D, P, R, L, OVER AND OVER WHILE THE CAR WAS MAKING A HUMMING SOUND. WE HAD TO PUSH MY CAR BACK TO MY DRIVE WAY AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO CAL WORTHINGTON FORD. *TR

I DRIVE A 2011 FORD FIESTA AND THE TRANSMISSION KEPT HESITATING WHEN I WAS CHANGING GEARS. I SAW A WHOLE LOT OF WEB SEARCHES FROM GOOGLE OF OTHER OWNER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THESE MODELS GOTTA BE ON RECALL IF THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BREAK. BUT THEY'RE NOT UNDER THE LIST FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *TR

THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN LEAVING FROM A STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 12 - 15 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AS NO CODES ARE THROWN. I AM FRUSTRATED AND SCARED AS I AM AFRAID IT WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. *JS

THIS VEHICLE - DRIVER REAR DOOR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACE DUE TO MALFUNCTION DOOR OPEN AND WILL NOT SHUT ON APRIL 3, 2014 I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MAY 15, 2014 LAST WEEK ON OCTOBER 10TH MY 16YRS OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ENTERING TO THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT THE DOOR OPEN WITHOUT ANY REASON - CONTACTED FORD AND AFTER FIGHTING AS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IS ONLY 34000 MILES IS NOT LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THEY WILL BE FIXING MY CONCERN IS THIS IS THE 2ND TIME SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO THIS VEHICLE AND COULD HAD END UP ON A FATALITY . IS FORD INSPECTING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS OR JUST MENDING THE ISSUE , PER ONLINE LOOKUP HAS BEING AT LEAST 76 COMPLAINS AND THERE HAS NOT BEING A RECALL YET . *TR

I HAD JUST STARTED ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING AT A STREET LIGHT. MY CAR BEGAN SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I NOTICED MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT MY CAR WASN'T MOVING. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE POWER WAS THERE BUT IT WASN'T GOING TO THE WHEELS. MY CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO DO WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. MY CAR JUMPED AND SHIFTED BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO MOVE. FINALLY IT CAUGHT UP WITH THE PROBLEM AND MOVED A LITTLE. I WAS ABLE TO LET IT ROLL DOWNHILL FAR ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD INTO SAFETY. LATER WHEN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I TURNED ON MY ENGINE AND IT WORKED. I PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE AND MOVED IT BACK. WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE THE GEAR LEVER MOVED BUT THE GEAR DID NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT MY CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I DID HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING UP BUT THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE. I PUT MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO ROLL IT FORWARDS. *TR

OPENED PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR TO PUT CHILD IN CAR CARSEAT. SHUT THE DOOR, GOT IN AND STARTED CAR. WHEN I STARTED TO REVERSE THE DOOR OPEN ALERT CAME ON. GOT OUT OF CAR THINKING I JUST DIDN'T SHUT THE DOOR HARD ENOUGH. THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. HAVE NOT GONE TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY IS UP. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE IS A BACK ORDER ON THE PART I NEED TO FIX IT. I HAVE THE DOOR TIED TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND THE DOOR OPEN NOTIFICATION CONSTANTLY COMES ON AS WELL AS THE INSIDE LIGHTS. LUCKILY I NOTICED THIS BEFORE PULLING OFF OR THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING FOR THE KIDS! I HOPE THAT FORD RECOGNIZES THIS PROBLEM AND DOES A RECALL! *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO SECURE AND LOCK THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSING NOR LOCKING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THEN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH BEGAN EXHIBITING THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH WOULD NOT LATCH. IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, HE HAD TO TIE A ROPE AROUND THE DOOR OVER THE ROOF TO OTHER SIDE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LATCH. ON JULY 25, 2014, AS THE CONSUMER STARTED TO DRIVE, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SUDDENLY OPENED. AGAIN, IT WOULD NOT LATCH. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LATCH AGAIN. UPDATED 08/28/14 UPDATED 9/4/14*CN UPDATED 09/15/14

JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AFTER BEING IN THE CAR ABOUT AN HOUR, WE STARTED GETTING A STATIC POP ON THE FACTORY STEREO SYSTEM. IT WOULD INTERRUPT WHATEVER WAS ON MOMENTARILY AND WOULD CONTINUE EVEN IF YOU SWITCHED SOURCES. MOST ANNOYINGLY, THE STATIC POP STAYS EVEN AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF. IT WORRIES ME THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS PRECURSOR TO SOME SORT OF GENERAL ELECTRONIC FAILURE, BUT WITH THE CAR OUT OF WARRANTY, MY HANDS ARE TIED. HALF HOUR DRIVES ARE NOT YET A PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS AFTER AN HOUR OR SO, AND EVEN IF YOU TURN THE STEREO OFF, IT JUST CONTINUES TO POP. THERE IS A 6 PAGE THREAD ON THE PROBLEM HERE, (AND I'M SURE MANY OTHER PLACES OF THE WEB): HTTP://WWW.FIESTAFACTION.COM/FORUMS/THREADS/42105-RADIO-CUTTING-OUT-INTERMITTENTLY-WITH-POPPING-SOUND/PAGE6?HIGHLIGHT=STATIC IN OTHER WORDS, I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED ONE DAY IN LATE OCTOBER, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE ON HIS WAY TO WORK. HE WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES, HE DECIDED TO TRY AND START THE VEHICLE, AND IT STARTED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO DRIVE FOR ANOTHER WEEK WITH NO STALLING PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, HE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEREO. ONE EVENING, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED HE HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE THE OWNER SHOWED HIM THE FUSES WERE BADLY CORRODED AND THEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED IN ONE PIECE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX APPEARED AS IF THERE HAD BEEN A FLOOD. UPDATED 05/12/16.*JB

WHILE COMING TO A STOP LIGHT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. HAD NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR PEDDLE. WOULD NOT GO. WAS ABLE TO ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT. AFTER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT RAN FINE. CONTINUED 1-2 MILES AND CONDITION OCCURRED AGAIN. HAD TO RESTART IN THE ROAD TO CONTINUE HOME. RAN FINE TO WORK AND BACK THE NEXT DAY. THEN, ON HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 65-70 STARTED TO LOSE SPEED AND HAD NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR PEDDLE. CAME TO A ROLLING STOP UNABLE TO GO. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT . TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO LEARN THAT A THROTTLE BODY IS NEEDED AT A COST OF $1000.00. THIS IS NOW SITTING IN THE DRIVE AS WE CANT AFFORD THE $1000.00. BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND GET OFF OF ROAD AT UNEXPECTED TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE GEAR WAS PLACED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,100.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2013 AS A USED VEHICLE FROM THE FORD STORE IN SAN LEANDRO, CA. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE FIRST THING THAT BROKE WAS MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR. EVEN THOUGH "VISORS AND FRONT SEAT SRS WARNING" IS CHECKED OFF ON THE 172 POINT INSPECTION FORM I WAS GIVEN, THE VISOR HAD A CRACK IN THE PIECE OF THE VISOR THAT HELD IT TO THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I HAD NO IDEA ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT UNTIL A PASSENGER TRIED TO USE IT AND IT FELL INTO THEIR LAP. AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE I STARTED NOTICING THAT THERE IS A DELAY WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE (ABOUT A 3-4 SECONDS), IT WAS LIKE THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO RESPOND TO THE PEDDLE BEING PUSHED DOWN. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN ON A HILL, I ALWAYS THOUGHT I HAD ALL OF THE WORST PARTS OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, BUT THE CAR IS AN "AUTOMATIC". BESIDES ROLLING BACKWARDS, THE DELAY IN THE PEDDLE WOULD MAKE IT TOUGH TO STOP AT THE TOP OF A STEEP HILL AND START AGAIN, I WOULD GIVE IT GAS AND IT WOULD BE VERY SLUGGISH. THE WORST PART OF THE CAR HAS TO BE THAT WHEN I WAS "CRAWLING" IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS IDLING TOO LOW WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING SLOW. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. AFTER HAVING THIS CAR FOR A YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE THE COOLING FAN AFTER ITS MOTOR BURNED OUT, I THINK IT WAS A RESULT OF TOO MUCH ACCELERATION, TOO FAST... CAUSE YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN THE THING WILL DIE ON YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

ENGINE MIL TURNED ON AFTER CAR WAS STARTED, DRIVING WAS FINE AT SPEEDS UNDER 45MPH. ONCE OVER 45MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE ENGINE CODE INDICATED THAT IT WAS THE NATURAL VACUUM LEAK DETECTION (NVLD) SERVICE KIT, THAT HAD FAILED OR A FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED INTO A DEALERSHIP AND THE PART REPLACED, THE ENGINE MIL TURNED BACK ON BEFORE I CLAIMED THE VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN SITTING WITH THE DEALER FOR 4 DAYS, AS THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THE CAR. THIS SENSOR FAILING IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE AS THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DATED FEB 13, 2013, THIS REPLACED A PREVIOUS BULLETIN DATED MAY 21, 2011. THIS SENSOR FAILING IS DANGEROUS AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2011. AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO REAL FIX, AT LEAST WITH MY VEHICLE. THE WORDING IN THE TSB STATES "SOME 2011 FIESTA VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) U029F SET IN THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) AND/OR A NO CRANK CONDITION WITH NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE PCM." THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE COULD FAIL AT ANYTIME WITH THIS CODE, CREATING A HAZARDOUS CONDITION ESPECIALLY IF TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE MIL COMES ON AND THE PART FAILS. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE BASED ON THE ABUNDANCE OF FORUMS AND INTERNET POSTS DISCUSSING THIS EXACT ENGINE CODE, AND THE VARIOUS SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND STARTED JERKING VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXACT REPAIRS, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,293.

THIS CARS TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHENEVER IT WANTS TOO, SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND UNPREDICTABLE ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC AT SPEED BETWEEN 0 AND 45 MILES PER HOUR. TWO TIME I WAS ALMOST IN A FATAL ACCIDENT BECAUSE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WAS NOT IT GEAR, THE ENGINE TACHOMETER JUMPED TO 4,000 RPM AND THEN SNAPPED INTO GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS LIKE IT IS FALLING APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT, SOUNDS LIKE ROCKS INSIDE. THE RIDER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT SAYING THEY ARE OFF COMES ON WHEN EVER IT WANTS AS WELL EVEN WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED, UP HILL ASSIST SHUTS OFF CAUSING NO OR VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION. THE CAR IS A DEATH TRAP IT WAS SOLD TO ME WITH A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY 12 MONTH BUMPER TO BUMPER AND 150,000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TWICE ALREADY AND PARADISE FORD IN COCOA SAYS ITS FIXED ITS WORSE NOW THAN WHEN I TOOK IT IN AND NOW THE OWNER AT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO SERVICE THE CAR ANYMORE. *TR

WITH 1" OF SNOW ON THE GROUND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE ADVANCE-TRAC CONTROL SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE JUST BECAUSE THE WHEELS STARTED TO SPIN. THIS CAUSED A LARGE TRAFFIC TIE UP AND A SNOW PLOW HAD TO HELP GET THE CAR ROLLING AGAIN. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THIS TRACTION CONTROL LIKE IN OTHER FORD AUTOMOBILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE MADE A JERKING MOTION AND HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CLUTCH HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

THE TRACTION CONTROL ON MY 2011 FIESTA IS A DEATH TRAP. THERE IS NO OPTION ON MY SPECIFIC CAR TO DISABLE THE SYSTEM. IN MILD SNOW OR SLUSH, THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER TO THE WHEELS AS SOON AS TCS ENGAGES. I GOT STUCK AT THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVEWAY. TODAY, 2/14/14 I WAS NEARLY KILLED WHEN THE CAR GOT STUCK IN 4" OF SNOW & WAS PARTIALLY IN THE LANE OF A BUSY ROADWAY (I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT). MY FIANCE' & OUR 8 YR OLD SON (WHO IS A FACTOR 9 HEMOPHILIAC) WERE SCREAMING AND SCARED TO DEATH AS THE CAR WAS HELPLESS TO MOVE AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT LATER YEAR 2011, 2012, & 2013 MODELS HAVE THE OPTION TO TURN OFF THIS FUNCTION HOWEVER THERE IS NO WAY TO ADD THIS FEATURE TO MY CAR. IF I OR MY FAMILY ARE INJURED DUE TO THIS ISSUE I WILL SUE FORD & NHTSA FOR ALLOWING THIS VEHICLE TO BE SOLD WITH THIS KIND OF SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE HAD A ROUGH IDOL AND STALLING AT SLOW SPEEDS. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP, CLEANED AIRFLOW SENSOR AND CHANGED AN AFTERMARKET K&N FILTER (THOUGHT IT WAS OIL FROM FILTER ONTO SENSOR). VEHICLE DID NOT IMPROVE, ACTUALLY WORSENED TO A POINT THAT STALLS UPON DECELERATION. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSED THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DID NOT REPLACE, STALL WORSENED AND RPM STICK AT HIGHER RPM ON TWO OCCASIONS. CAR PARKED UNTIL SOLUTION CAN BE FOUND. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2011 FORD FIESTA WITH APX 30000 MILES FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN ABOUT DECEMBER 2013. WITHIN 2 MONTHS IT WAS AT THE DEALER HAVING NEW CLUTCHES PUT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SIX MONTHS LATER IT BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLES HAS UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING ONTO THE ROADWAY. I FEAR I WILL BE RUN OVER AS THE CAR SHUTTERS AND FAILS TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING 4 MONTHS FOR FORD TO FIX IT. THE PARTS ARE APPARENTLY ON BACK ORDER. I FEAR THAT PEOPLE WILL START BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

IN PARKING LOT, STARTED CAR, PLACED CAR IN DRIVE AND NOTHING HAPPENED, ACCELERATED AND COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. TURNED OFF CAR AND STARTED AGAIN, AGAIN SAME THING HAPPENED. TURNED OFF CAR AGAIN AND RESTARTED, FINALLY CAR WAS ABLE TO GO INTO DRIVE AND ACCELERATE. *TR

IN JANUARY 2014 I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 55 MPH. THE SEEMED THE CAR WOULD GO INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. I WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIGN OF THE ROAD, PUT IT INTO PARK, AND THEN START AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A MODULE AND RESET THE COMPUTER, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED 2 WEEKS LATER, BUT THIS TIME I COULDN'T GET IT INTO GEAR. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. APPROX. 2 WEEKS LATER THE VEHICLE SOUNDED LIKE AN AIR HORN WAS GOING OFF WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP PULLED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID A MAJOR PART OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD BROKEN AND IT WAS MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THAT WAS 3 WEEKS AGO. THE DEALERSHIP IS WAITING FOR THE NEW TRANSMISSION FROM FORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE RPMS INCREASED AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE DRIVER HAD TO JUMP INTO THE VEHICLE AND APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A PORCH POST. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION HAS STALLED AND LURCHED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS NUMEROUS TIMES (SOMETIMES REPAIRS WERE MADE BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED, AND MANY TIMES I WAS TOLD THE STALLING, RATTLING, AND LURCHING WAS NORMAL). I DO NOT FEEL THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND REAR ENDED A UTILITY VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT OPENED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND RAN TO THE SIDEWALK. DIRECTLY BEHIND THE CONTACT WAS A FIRE TRUCK AND THE OCCUPANTS WITNESSED THE ENTIRE CRASH. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TIPM WAS REPLACED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS BY HUNTERSVILLE FORD IN HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA IN AUGUST OF 2015. THE SECOND TIME WAS BY SALISBURY FORD IN SALISBURY, NORTH CAROLINA IN AUGUST OF 2016. THE HUNTERSVILLE FORD DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE CLUTCH TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,378.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING NORMAL SPEEDS THE "TRANSMISSION FAILURE" MESSAGE POPPED UP ON MY DASH AND THE CAR STARTED VISCOUSLY JERKING. THE CAR HAD TROUBLE STOPPING AS IF THE BRAKES COULDN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT. MY CAR WOULD FIERCELY JERK FORWARD WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP THAT I THEN NOTICED I HAD TO STOP FURTHER BACK THAN NORMAL IN FEAR OF THE CAR JERKING FORWARD TO HARD AND HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I FINALLY PARKED AND WAS READY TO GO TO A WELL LIT AREA THE CAR STARTED UP PERFECTLY NORMAL AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE MESSAGE WAS GONE. TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR BASICALLY "FIXED ITSELF." I THEN ASKED THEM IF IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT FOR THEM TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR AND THEY ONLY TOLD ME "THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT". THEY SAW AN ISSUE AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE APPROX. 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. FORD ALSO TOLD ME THE CAR ISN'T SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. YET THEY DON'T SEE THAT AS A REASON TO NOT RECALL THE CARS TO GET IT FIXED SINCE I'M POSITIVE MY CAR ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS DONE THIS. I GUESS MYSELF ALMOST GETTING INTO AND ACCIDENT AND CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON FOR THEM. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, KEYLESS REMOTE STOPPED WORKING, ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, TRIPOMETER STOPPED WORKING. TOOK IT TO THE FACTORY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED, BECAUSE IT WAS 2 WEEKS OUT OF 3 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. ALL OF THESE ARE SUPPOSEDLY THE RESULT OF A BAD SPEED SENSOR BETWEEN THE AXLE AND THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IN HEAVY SNOW SLOWS CAR TO A CRAWL WHILE ENTERING AN INTERSECTION NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IN EARLY 2011 FIESTA, THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN MOMENTUM TO GET THROUGH HEAVY SNOW WHICH CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. *TR

MY 2011 FORD FIESTA TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR AWHILE NOW. I HAVE HAD THEM RESET THE SYSTEM AND ALSO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. HOWEVER, MY CAR STILL HAS ISSUES THE TRANSMISSION STICKS AND DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GUESS. YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL THE ENGINE STICK AND SHUTTER. THE CAR IS MORE AND MORE FAILING TO ACCELERATE WHICH HAS CAUSED TO ME TO ALMOST GET INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE SOLUTION I WAS TOLD BY FORD WAS THAT THERE IS NO TRUE FIX AND IT IS JUST SOMETHING THEY CAN NOT FIX. MY CAR IS BRAND NEW AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THAT TYPE OF ANSWER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF MY CAR MALFUNCTIONING. I WANT THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR GOOD, I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN MY CAR AND FEAR OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT OR SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR
