2014 Ford Fiesta complaints

I PURCHASED MY FORD FIESTA NEW IN DECEMBER 2014. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS IT LAGS, SPUTTERS, GRINDS AND SEEMS TO WANT TO QUIT UPON ACCELERATION IN LOW SPEEDS. IT HAS CONSISTENTLY DONE THIS FOR THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL QUIT WHILE ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HARD EDGE ON THE TRIM OF THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD CONSTANTLY CUT THE CONTACT'S HAND. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE AND A BUZZING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT WHEN IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD GRIND AND INDEPENDENTLY SHIFT IN TO NEUTRAL. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND HILL ASSIST ALSO INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALER, ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE, SENSORS, NVH TAPE, STEERING WHEEL, STEERING MODULE, REPROGRAMMED MAIN COMPUTER, AND AIR BAGS WERE ALL REPLACED. A FORD ENGINEER WAS CONTACTED TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF ALL THESE FAILURES. HOWEVER, ALL FAILURES EXCEPT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND HILL ASSIST LIGHT WERE NOT RECTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,420.

ON OCTOBER 9TH 2014, MY NEW FORD FIESTA AT 7500 MILES BEGAN SHUTTERING VIOLENTLY AT LOW SPEEDS. IT JERKED THE CAR BACKWARD WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE IN REVERSE, AND IT JERKED THE VEHICLE FORWARD WHEN TAKING OFF AT A SAFE AND NORMAL ACCELERATION FROM A RED LIGHT. IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. MY MOTHER AND GIRLFRIEND WERE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THIS INCIDENT PRESENTED A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN. DUE TO BEING IN THE MILITARY, I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2014 TO TAKE MY CAR TO FORD. THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THEY RECOGNIZED THE SHUDDER I COMPLAINED ABOUT AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE. ON THE REPORT THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS IN FACTORY SPECS, SO AS A RESULT OF THAT REPORT, THEY DIDN'T ORDER NEW CLUTCHES AND SEALS WHICH WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THOSE NEW PARTS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD THEY JUST DID A TEMPORARY FIX BY RESETTING THE COMPUTER IN ORDER TO GET ME OUT THE DOOR. I PICKED UP THE CAR DECEMBER 5TH 2014 AND 6 DAYS LATER THE SHUDDER RETURNED. NOW I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY MARCH 30TH 2015 AND THE AGENT THERE SAID THAT IF THE TEST COMES BACK THAT THE CAR IS IN FACTORY SPECS THEY WONT MAKE ANY REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE AND CALL ME TO PICK UP MY BROKEN VEHICLE. THIS WILL RESULT IN ME DRIVING A SAFETY HAZARD VEHICLE THAT I STILL OWE $17,000 ON WITH NO REPAIRS BEING DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I NEED HELP! PLEASE NHTSA LISTEN

VIOLENT LEFT SIDE COLLISION (T BONE TYPE) BY HIGH POWERED 400 HP 1995 CHEVROLET COMARO GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN, ACCELERATING ACROSS FOUR LANES, THEN LEAVING THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. I WAS NOT INJURED. THE CAR WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED. THE CAR WAS PUSHED PERPENDICULAR AND PARTLY ROTATED. THERE WERE TWO EYE WITNESSES. AFTER A MOMENT OF RECOVERY I GAVE CHASE AND CAUGHT THE DRIVER IN A DRIVEWAY SEVERAL BLOCKS DOWN WISCONSIN AVE IN TAMPA FLORIDA. CALLED POLICE AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY USAA. I WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REPORTED THIS TO FORD AND REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER SEEMED TO TAKE GREAT INTEREST INITIALLY AND SAID SHE WOULD HAVE AIR BAGS THOROUGHLY EVALUATED AFTER COLLISION REPAIR. AFTER REPAIR, A MONTH LATER, I CALLED HER AND SHE DELAYED RESPONDING FOR THREE WEEKS, FINALLY RESPONDING AFTER MANY CALLS TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. SHE SAID AIR BAGS WERE CHECKED BY GREENWAY FORD WHERE I HAD COLLISION REPAIRED. THIS WAS NOT TRUE AND A LIE. SERVICE WAS NOT AWARE OF POSSIBLE NON DEPLOYMENT OF SIDE AIRBAGS WHEN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED. SERVICE CHECKED ALIGNMENT ONLY. FURTHER PRESSING FORD TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THEIR INITIAL DIRECTIONS TO HAVE AIR BAGS EVALUATED HAS RESULTED IN FORD REFUSING TO EVALUATE SIDE AIR BAG FUNCTION RELATIVE TO NOT DEPLOYING AS A RESULT OF THIS VIOLENT SIDE COLLISION. I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I HAVE DOUBT WHETHER THE SIDE AIR BAGS IN MY FORD FIESTA 2014 AND A SECOND FORD FIESTA 2014, ([XXX]), I PURCHASED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE GEARS SHIFTED AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND RATTLES THE CAR. ALSO CAUSING WHEEL SPIN WHEN SHIFTING. *TR

2014 FORD FIESTA SE WITH ABOUT 15,000 MILES STARTED HAVING SHUTTERING PROBLEMS THAT ARE EXTREMELY VIOLENT AND COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND IS THOUGHT TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN TO DRIVER AND OTHERS ON ROAD. I HAVE OWNS THIS CAR SINCE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWERTRAIN AROUND 14000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS A SEVERE SHUTTER PROBLEM WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT IS HAPPENING IS TO LET THE GAS PEDAL OUT OF GIVE IT A LOT MORE GAS. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED FROM 5 MPH TO 50 MPH THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT. THE SHUTTER JERKS THE DRIVER FORWARD AND BACKWARD VERY FORCEFULLY. I TOOK THE CAR IN UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE THIS IS NORMAL AND SENT BACK HOME. AT 15000 MILES I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID THE DUAL CLUTCH SEAL WAS LEAKING AND THEREFORE RUINED THE CLUTCH. THEY REPLACED ALL PARTS AND CALLED TO SAY IT WAS COMPLETE. THEY LEFT VOICEMAIL, AND WHEN I CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK THEY SAID THE NEW PARTS HAD BROKE WHILE ON THE TEST DRIVE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER EXACT PARTS AGAIN. DEALERSHIP TOOK ANOTHER FEW DAYS TO FIX AND THEN I RECEIVED THE CAR. NOW FEB 2015 CAR IS DOING EXACT SAME THING AND HAS 24000 MILES ON. THE SHUTTERING IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT COULD RESULT IN MY WIFE OR I LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DOES THIS AT HIGH SPEED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS DOES NOT CAUSE A SAFETY VIOLATION? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *JS

NO WAY TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE TURNED CRUISE CONTROL ON. *TR

SNOW IS ENTERING THROUGH THE COWL TOP ARE AND MELTING, THE WATER ENTERS THE BLOWER MOTOR AND THEN FREEZES THE BLOWER MOTOR. THIS MAKES IT SO MY CAR HAS NO HEAT OR FUNCTIONAL DEFROSTER. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM THEY STATED IT WAS A "DESIGN FLAW" AND "COMMON PROBLEM." THE SUGGESTION THEY GAVE ME WAS TO KEEP SNOW AND ICE AWAY FROM THE COWL TOP WHICH IS UNREALISTIC FOR WHERE I LIVE. I HAVE DRIVEN TO AND FROM WORK THREE TIMES THIS WINTER WITHOUT HEAT IN MY CAR, AND SINCE THERE IS NO DEFROSTER MY WINDOWS ALSO HAVE TO BE CRACKED OPEN TO MAKE SURE THAT WINDOWS DO NOT FOG. *TR

VEHICLE EXHIBITS A CONSTANT SHUTTERING/JARRING EFFECT FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHILE UNDER ACCELERATION AND DURING SHIFTS. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ISSUE CAUSES INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION WHICH RESULTS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN ENTERED FOR SERVICE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THIS ISSUE, AND HAS YET BE RESOLVED. *TR

10/25/14 PURCHASED FORD FIESTA, FROM FLETCHER JONES IMPORTS. ON 10/28/14 FIESTA WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED BACK TO FLETCHER JONES. ON 12/15/14 FIESTA WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO FRIENDLY FORD DEALER. ON FEBRUARY 2 FIESTA WOULD NOT START AND AGAIN TOWED TO FRIENDLY FORD DEALER; WHERE, AT THE WRITING OF THIS FIESTA COMPLIANT { 2/05/15} IS STILL AT FRIENDLY FORD DEALER. I AM A SENIOR AND I FEEL I WAS A PREY, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE CAR MECHANICAL CONDITION. I WAS INTIMIDATE BY [XXX] , WHO TOLD ME, "YOU BOUGHT IT, YOU OWN IT, AND THAT NEVADA DOES NOT HAVE A LEMON LAW. I PAID CASH FOR THAT FORD FIESTA. CAN YOU HELP ME COME TO A FAIR AGREEMENT OR TO RETURN THE FIESTA BACK TO FLETCHER JONES IMPORTS, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2014 FORD FIESTA AUTO WITH 4982 HAS DEVELOPED A SERIOUS JUDDERING AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN MOVING AWAY FROM STAND STILL OR ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEED. THIS HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS ENTERING MAJOR ROADS AND ON TESTING THE PROBLEM I HAD TO MOVE OVER QUICKLY TO A SIDE TURN TO PREVENT AN 18 WHEELER RUNNING IN THE BACK OF THE FIESTA. MOVING OFF FORWARD IS VERY JERKY AND REVERSING HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SERIOUSLY AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE SAFELY AND IN LESS EXPERIENCED HANDS WILL LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I HAVE MANY YEARS EXPERIENCE IN MOTOR SPORT, ROAD TESTING VEHICLES AND HAVE PASSED THE INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED MOTORISTS IN THE UK, ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT DRIVING TESTS IN THE WORLD TODAY. THE FORD FIESTA IN QUESTION IS USED ON THE ROADS OF FLORIDA USA IN MY OPINION THERE SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. *TR

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR HESITATED AND DID A JUMPING LIKE SHUDDER/SHAKING. IT STOPPED AFTER THE CAR WAS JUST ABOVE THE 20 MPH MARK. SINCE IT DID NOT HAPPENED AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS DID NOT TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION, AND DID NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. MOST OF THE TIMES THEY TELL YOU THE HESITATION AND SHAKING NEED TO BE PRESENT WHEN THE INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF IT. I WAS RESEARCHING SOME TSB# AND FOUND OUT THIS SHAKING AND HESITATION WAS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT WE (MY SPOUSE AND I) THOUGHT AND WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2013 I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING, STALLING, AND JERKING FORWARD. ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2015 AT 8:00 PM I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND THE VEHICLE CLICKS ON AND OFF, THE VEHICLE STALLS AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE I ALMOST GOT INTO CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE. CURRENTLY GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEALER EVERY TIME WHO STATES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF VARIATION SUCH AS SHUDDERING AND JERKING IS NORMAL WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS HOWEVER THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT ENOUGH PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN WHERE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE SOON TO GET THESE CARS INTO OPERABLE DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

BOUGHT CAR ON JUNE 1 2014. TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS (SLIPS) FROM 1ST TO 3RD GEAR. TRY TO ACCELERATE AND IT SHUTTERS (SLIPS) FROM GEAR TO GEAR. COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS GOING INTO TRAFFIC OR A LIGHT IT HESITATES WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER READING ARTICLES ON THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION (FIESTA'S & FOCUS'S) THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS A SAFETY ISSUE BY THE NHTSA. FORD SEEMS TO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX CORRECTLY. ADJUST COMPUTER, PUT NEW CLUTCH PADS ON, ETC. SEEMS NO CLEAR FIX TO PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND I PUSH THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE AND THERE IS A DELAYED REACTION. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY DOES ACCELERATE, IT DOES IT IN A "HOPPING" MOTION. WHEN THE CAR GETS UP TO 20MPH, IT STARTS SHAKING AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL I ACCELERATE EVEN FURTHER. SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, BUT MOST FREQUENTLY HAS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AT LOWER SPEEDS. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND SOMETIMES THE CAR IS JERKY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I'VE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SEVERAL TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING AND SLIPPING ISSUE. WHEN TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE, AND ON EVERY SUBSEQUENT VISIT TO A SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS WARNED THAT THE POWERSHIFT 6-SPEED AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION REQUIRES A "BREAK-IN" PERIOD OF SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES AND THAT I MAY NOTICE HARSH SHIFTING OR NOISES. IN REALITY, THE TRANSMISSION HASN'T EVER FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY, AND ON EACH DEALERSHIP TRIP, A LETS-TRY-THE-NEXT-STEP APPROACH IS TAKEN. FIRST A ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP WAS CLEARED FOR A KNOWN FIRMWARE BUG IN THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM), FOR A PROBLEM WHOSE FIX WAS NOT YET RELEASED BY FORD. NEXT, THE TCM WAS UPDATED. DRIVEABILITY IMPROVED FOR A WHILE BUT THEN DEGRADED AGAIN, GETTING WORSE DAY BY DAY. NEXT, THE TCM COULDN'T BE UPDATED (IT WAS ALREADY UP TO DATE) SO A NEW CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS ORDERED. FINALLY, THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, BUT NOT THE TRANSMISSION INTAKE SEALS BECAUSE THEY WERE BROWN (LATEST SPEC?). IT HAS ONLY BEEN A FEW DAYS SINCE THE MOST RECENT REPAIR (CLUTCH REPLACEMENT) BUT THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE NEW CLUTCHES WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS FORD HAS NOT YET CORRECTED THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS DURING ACCELERATION, THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF AN ACCIDENT FROM ONCOMING CARS (WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN) OR FROM CARS BEHIND ME. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FIESTA IN MAY 2014. IN DECEMBER 2014, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING SIGNIFICANT SHUDDERING AND WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEEDS AND FROM A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE, THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED AND OFFERED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A MONTH LATER. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THAT APPOINTMENT. INTERNET RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD ASAP. *TR

I HAVE BEEN TAKING OFF AFTER STOPPING AND THE TRANSMISSION OR FUEL INJECTION MISSES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT ENGAGE THE DRIVE TRAIN JUST RIGHT. THE VEHICLE HESITATES, LURCHES, AND SHUTTERS. THE VIBRATION IS BAD AND I'M WORRIED IF I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DRIVE TRAIN, I MIGHT BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I CANNOT GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PATH OF TRAFFIC DUE TO THE HESITATION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *JS

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS GOING INTO GEARS. IT SHUDDERS GOING FROM 2ND TO 3RD AND THEN 3RD TO 4TH. WHEN IF FINALLY GOES INTO 4TH GEAR IT LURCHES. TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO SHUDDER WHILE CRUISING AT LOW SPEEDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH AND IF BRAKING THEN ACCELERATING SUDDENLY. WHEN I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. *TR

WHEN WE TAKE OFF FROM A STOP SIGN . THE CAR STUTTERS,LOSES POWER LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. HAS A ROLL BACK ISSUE FROM A STOP ON A HILL. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IF I AM ENTERING AN INTERSECTION AND SOMEONE WERE TO RUN A STOP SIGN I HAVE NO ABILITY TO STEP ON THE GAS AND GET MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY. HAS THE STUTTER BETWEEN THE GEARS IN THE LOWER RANGE. I HAD IT INTO THE FORD DEALER AND HE SAID THEY GET 10 TO 15 COMPLAINTS A DAY ON THIS PROBLEM. AND THEY KNOW IT IS THERE BUT CAN NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE FORD IS TELLING THEM IT IS OK. I HAVE WROTE TO FORD VIE E MAIL AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING . I WOULD GIVE UP THE SO CALL EXTRA MILEAGE IT IS SUPPOSED TO CREATE FOR A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING WHILE ACCELERATING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

THE VEHICLE HESITATES, GRINDS AND JUMPS WHENEVER YOU PRESS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL JUMP AND JUST SLOW DOWN EVEN IF MY FOOT IS ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND WITH THE PEDAL. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ISSUE SINCE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD NUMEROUS TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE TELL ME THE "GRINDING, JUMPING, HESITATION IS NORMAL FOR AN AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSMISSION". APPARENTLY THIS IS NEW FOR FORD AS THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL AN AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSMISSION. MEANING THE CAR DRIVES LIKE IT WOULD BE A STICK SHIFT BUT AUTOMATICALLY DOES IT. IT IS UNSAFE! SOMETIMES THE JERKING IS SO BAD MY HEAD WILL JERK!! I FEEL LIKE I WAS RIPPED OFF WITH THIS CAR AND AM SO MAD THAT I MADE THIS PURCHASE! *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHAKING AND HESITATING ON ACCELERATION SINCE ABOUT 1 1/2 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT. WHEN IT TRIES TO SWITCH GEARS IT JERKS AND ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO PULL. THE RPM'S WILL REV UP TO ABOUT 4,000 AND THEN DROP DOWN TO ABOUT 1,500 AND I WILL HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS ENTIRELY FOR IT TO STEADY OUT. THE CAR SHAKES AND JERKS SO HARD AT TIMES THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL APART. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT, ALTHOUGH I'VE KNOWN OF SEVERAL PEOPLE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR FIESTA TRANSMISSIONS AND I HAVE READ OF MULTIPLE HAVING ACCIDENTS DUE TO THEIR ACCELERATION ISSUES. *TR

I WROTE A LETTER TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THE OPTIMO H426 TIRE MANUFACTURED BY HANKOOK ON MY NEW 2014 FORD FIESTA THAT WAS PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2014. I FELT THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THE BUBBLE WAS LOCATED ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE AND NOT ON THE TREAD. I RECEIVED A RESPONSE THAT WAS UNSATISFACTORY AND THEY WOULDN'T REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF A NEW REPLACEMENT TIRE ($156.67). MY DAD WAS DRIVING IN ANOTHER TOWN AND NOTICED ANOTHER CAR ALSO HAD A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE SO I DECIDED TO LET YOU KNOW; POSSIBLY SEE IF THIS IS UNDER INVESTIGATION OR NOT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ON THE ROAD, ETC. AND WITH THIS DEFECTIVE TIRE HAD BLOWN; I WOULD HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION EXHIBITED A LOUD NOISE AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION. ALSO, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE GEARS WERE INTERMITTENTLY SLIPPING AND THE FAILURE WAS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER TO RE-FLASH THE COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER BUYING MY NEW CAR, I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD START TO SHUDDER AND/OR BUCK WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3 TIMES WITH NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING ABLE TO "RECREATE" THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. THEY ALSO SAID THAT BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION, THE PROBLEMS I WAS DESCRIBING ARE TO BE EXPECTED. HOW COULD A COMPANY RELEASE A TRANSMISSION THAT IS "SUPPOSED" TO BUCK AND SHUDDER? PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INCIDENTS THAT I FEEL ARE VERY DANGEROUS. ONE OCCURS WHEN I APPROACH A STOP AND I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE CAR WILL REV UP AND ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GO INTO TRAFFIC. ANOTHER INCIDENT IS WHEN I AM AT A YIELD AND DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN ACCELERATE TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION SKIPS/STUTTERS/SHUDDERS DELAYING MY ACCELERATION AND MAKING THE MERGE DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, AND DOES NOT OCCUR AT EVERY STOP/YIELD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT OR WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2014 FORD FIESTA WITH AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN MARCH. IT RAN AWESOME FOR 6 MONTHS, A REALLY FUN CAR. IT JUST RECENTLY STARTED SHIFTING ROUGH, JUMPING, LURCHING, SPUTTERING WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP. ABOUT TO GO TO THE DEALER FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT THE ISSUE. NOT HAPPY. THE REASON WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR WAS TO HAVE SOMETHING ECONOMICAL AND RELIABLE. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE READ THEM BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF ACCELERATION IS NEEDED TO AVOID A COLLISION AND THE CAR HAS NO POWER. *TR

FORD FIESTA 2014 ENGINE EXCESSIVELY TREMBLES/JUMPS WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CAR DOES ACCELERATE ON ITSELF AT TIMES MOSTLY WHEN I HAVE AC ON OR AFTER TURNING IT OFF. FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS CAR NOW. OR FIX THIS CAR AND PROVIDE CUSTOMER WITH A PAID RENTAL CAR WHILE THIS ONE IS BEING FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30.

WHOLE FRONT END OF VEHICLE SHAKING WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD. BAD TRANSMISSION FLUID BURNING SMELL. ONCE MOVING EVERY TIME IT SHIFTED BETWEEN GEARS IT WOULD SHAKE THE FRONT END OF CAR. AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND STARTING THE CAR THE NEXT DAY IT RAN FINE UNTIL IT WARMED UP. WHEN TRYING TO MAKE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE REPAIRED WAS TOLD IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 1 - 6 MONTHS FOR THIS TO HAPPENING EVEN THOUGH I HAVE JUST HAVE THE CAR IN THE WEEK BEFORE TO SAME ISSUE JUST NOT A BAD. THEY DID TAKE IT IN AFTER MAKING MANY COMPLAINTS BUT I DON'T THINK I WILL SEE IT FOR AT LEAST A MONTH AND SUSPECT IT WILL HAVE A NEW TRANS IN IT WHEN I GET IT BACK. IT WILL FAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN. GUESS IT IS A GOOD THING I BOUGHT THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR... *TR

THE VEHICLE SHAKES DURING SHIFTING. SOMETIMES THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER. OTHER TIMES THE CAR ACCELERATES MORE THAN EXPECTED. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT IF THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND PREDICTABLY, THERE IS A RISK OF ACCIDENT. THE INTERNET DISCUSSION GROUPS ARE FULL OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. DESPITE FORDS EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE SAFETY ISSUE STILL EXISTS AND THEY WILL NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION UNLESS SOMEONE FORCES THEM. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE EARLY EVENING, APPROX 55 DEGREES, FAIR WEATHER, A/C AND HEAT OFF, SMOOTH ROADWAY. SUDDENLY THE SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED WITH A VERY LOUD GUNSHOT-LIKE NOISE. THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUNROOF WITH SOME GLASS CHUNKS IN THE INTERIOR. MOST OF THE GLASS APPEARED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AS IF IT EXPLODED OUTWARD. THE SUNROOF SHADE WAS OPEN AT THE TIME BUT THE SUNROOF ITSELF WAS CLOSED. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED INSIDE THE CAR FOR ROCKS OR OTHER OBJECTS BUT FOUND NONE. I TOOK PHOTOS. *TR

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT/SIGN, VEHICLE SHUTTERS. I BELIEVE IT IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. AFTER REACHING APPROX. 10 MPH, IT SEEMS TO STOP. APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISE THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. WILL NOT HONOR ANY WARRANTY SINCE CAR WAS SALVAGED EVEN THOUGH NO MECHANICAL DAMAGES OCCURRED. (WAS HIT ON PASSENGER DOORS) FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE FIESTA AND FOCUS BUT YET FORD WILL NOT DO A RE-CALL. SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE CHOOSING TO IGNORE. *TR

WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THEY SAID THERE WOULD BE SOME ABNORMAL NOISES IN THE TRANSMISSION DURING BREAK IN (1000 MILES) AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY. THE NOISES DIDN'T START UNTIL AROUND 4500 MILES. ON JULY 4, 2014 WE TOOK A 600 MILE ROUND TRIP (MILEAGE AT THIS TIME IS 7200). AT APPROXIMATELY HALF WAY THROUGH THIS TRIP WE START SMELLING BURNT OIL. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTED TO SHUDDER AND SHACK WHILE ACCELERATING FROM FIRST TO SECOND AND SECOND TO THIRD GEARS AND DIDN'T STOP. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE SOFTWARE AND SAID SOME SLIPPING IS NORMAL OPERATION FOR THIS TRANSMISSION. THIS WORKED FOR THREE DAYS THEN IT WENT BACK TO SHUDDERING AND SHAKING BUT WORSE THAN BEFORE. 2 DAYS LATER WE ALMOST GOT HIT WHILE TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND POWER WASN'T THERE. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHAKES AND SHUDDERS WHEN CHANGING GEAR. WHEN GOING HOME I HAVE TO GO UP A HILL AND MAKE A TURN TO GO UP ANOTHER HILL. WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN AND GO UP THE NEXT HILL THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS. IF I SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC AND RESTART WHILE ROLLING I GET THE SHUDDER. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I HAVE STARTED TO GO AND THE CAR IN FRONT STOPS SUDDENLY I HIT MY BRAKES AND THE CAR ALMOST STALES AND THEN WHEN I DO GO I GET THE SHUDDER. SOMETIMES I THINK THE DRIVE SHAFT IS GOING TO DROP. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 , DRIVING ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD AT 40 MPH , WITH NO PRIOR WARNING ALL VEHICLE CONSOLE LIGHTS LID UP AND DASH CONSOLE SHOWED AN ERROR "IMMOBILIZER FAILURE". STEERING AND BRAKES BEGAN TO WORSEN MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE.THIS WHILE CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION IN WHICH THANKFULLY THE LIGHT WAS TURNED IN MY FAVOR .THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE LEAD TO A TRAGIC EVENT . FORTUNATELY I DID NOT PANIC AND WAS ABLE TO USE VEHICLE MOMENTUM TO DRIVE INTO A PLAZA DRIVEWAY . AT THIS MOMENT I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. I STRONGLY URGE THAT THERE BE AN INVESTIGATION OPENED IMMEDIATELY . YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS WITH GREAT URGENCY. REGARDS *TR

UPON LIGHT ACCELERATION VEHICLE SHUDDERS AS IF ENGINE DROPS A CYLINDER. FORMER MECHANIC FOR 40 YEARS. PROBLEM IS IN TRANSMISSION. POSITIVE IT IS CLUTCH SLIPPAGE. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD DEALER IN CHESHIRE CT. 10/8/2014. WAS TOLD A REPROGRAM WOULD BE FIRST TRY TO FIX. THEN A PARTS REPLACEMENT. WHICH I AM SURE THEY MEANT CLUTCHES. I HAVE VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE THAT EITHER REPAIR WILL FIX. ALSO CONCERNED IT WILL PROBABLY BE EVEN WORSE IF THEY OPEN IT UP TO REPLACE PARTS. NO CONFIDENCE IN THE TECHNICIANS THESE DAYS. *TR

THE CAR SLIPS GEAR AND SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEEDS, AND WHEN COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR AFTER SLOWING DOWN. THE DUAL CLUTCHES HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THIS TIME AROUND OUT SEEMS TO BE WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. TEN MINUTES AFTER THE CONTACT DROVE INTO A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. UPDATED 10/23/2014*LJ UPDATED 4/21/2015 *JS

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN STARTING FROM STOP AND STILL DOES AT 14,000. MILES. ROAD TESTED BY BEACH FORD AND VERIFIED.AND REPAIR INVOICE NO.FOCS443177 AT 10639 MILES STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEMS AFTER SERVICE.HAVE NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR CO.CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE A FILE I BELIEVE ON MY PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION POWER SHIFT 6 SPD AUTO TRANS.HELP ME TRY TO UNDERSTAND IF THIS PROBLEM IS FIXABLE BECAUSE MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH. THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN A GEAR AND IT JUST SITS LIKE THAT AND DOESN'T SHIFT BACK UP SO I HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY. ALSO WHEN I WAS GETTING UP TO 60 MPH. THE CAR THEN WOULDN'T SHIFT IN 6TH GEAR LIKE IT WAS JUST STUCK. THIS TOOK ME 5-10 MINUTES TO FINALLY GET IT TO SHIFT PROPERLY. *TR

FOLLOWING A LINE OF CARS DOWN A CANYON ROAD AT 50 MPH. SPORT MODE STEERING TURNED OFF. CAR DRIFTED TO RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT, BUT CAR KEPT DRIFTING RIGHT. RIGHT SIDE WHEELS THEN WERE ON GRAVEL SHOULDER. TURNED STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT AGAIN. CAR TURNED 30 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT AND WENT AIRBORN OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN INTO THE CANYON, LANDING FLAT ON A PILE OF BOULDERS, BOUNCED OFF AND BECAME AIRBORN AGAIN, FINALLY STOPPING IN A TANGLE OF THICK BRUSH. UNDERSIDE OF CAR TOTALLY SMASHED. CAR WAS A TOTAL WREAK. DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED. FELT LIKE STEERING LINKAGE SUDDENLY DISCONNECTED. *TR

CAR JERKS AND SHAKES VERY HARD AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. TAKES OFF BY ITSELF WITH A FAST JERK AND ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. CAR ACTUALLY HAS LOST POWER WHILE TRY TO ACCELERATE ONTO A MAJOR HIGH WAY.I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I'M VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND VERY MUCH REGRET MY VERY FIRST PURCHASE OF A BRAND NEW CAR. *TR

ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE BEGAN AS SOON AS WE GOT IT. CAR CONSTANTLY STUTTERS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL (WAS TOLD BY SALESMAN THAT IT WAS BECAUSE CAR WAS BRAND NEW AND ONCE WE "BROKE IT IN' THAT WOULD GO AWAY). IT HAS NOT. DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IT SHOULD AND DOESN'T DECELERATE WHEN IT SHOULD, NO MATTER HOW HARD OR SOFT YOU PRESS THE PEDALS. CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN. LIKES TO ACCELERATE WHEN HAVE BRAKE PRESSED, HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED CARS IN FRONT BECAUSE OF IT'S LURCHING FORWARD. WHEN USING SPORT MODE, CAR WOULD NOT HAVE ANY MORE POWER, BUT ENGINE WOULD REDLINE. STRONG BURNING SMELL ALSO. ONCE CAR FINALLY GOT MOVING, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. YOU CAN PUSH BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT CAR IS STILL GOING - AND FIGHTING YOU TO KEEP GOING. DEALER UPGRADED SOFTWARE - WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS - AND TOLD US NOT TO USE THE SPORT MODE ANYMORE, WHICH WE DO NOT. DEALER STATED ALL COMPLAINTS WERE NOT ISSUES, THAT IS HOW THE CAR WORKS DUE TO THE TYPE OF ENGINE IT HAS IN IT. FIRST TIME FORD BUYER, FIRST BRAND NEW CAR IN A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. CAR IS DRIVEN TO AND FROM WORK 56 MILES EVERYDAY, PLUS LEISURE. FEEL VERY INSECURE DRIVING CAR. CAR IS NOT SAFE AND FORD NEEDS TO BE PRESSURED TO FIX THESE ISSUES OR STOP MAKING THESE TYPE OF ENGINES!

-TRANSMISSION IS VERY JERKY -CAR HAS A LOT OF HESITATION AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A LOW SPEED OR A STOP -SHUDDERING AND GRINDING NOISE WHEN STOPPING AND ACCELERATING WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR THESE ISSUES WERE MINOR AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD GO AWAY ONCE THE CAR GOT USED TO MY STYLE OF DRIVING BUT NOW THEY HAVE BECOME MORE SEVERE AND HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY MAKING THIS CAR A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN CHANGING LANES AND MAKING TURNS THE CAR IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND MAY SOON CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO FORD NUMEROUS TIMES AND AM ALWAYS TOLD THIS IS HOW THE CAR RUNS AND THESE ARE NORMAL FUNCTIONS FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. *TR

WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE WHEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO HOME FROM WORK IT WILL NOT LET ME AND TRY TO STALL AND IT WILL TAKE IT QUITE A BIT OF TIME TO FINALLY LET ME PUSH ON THE GAS AND GET GOING AGAIN. IT HAS DONE THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES NOW AND A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION AFTER STOPPING AT EITHER A STOP SIGN OR A STOP LIGHT. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH CAR LOOSES POWER YOU CANT ACCELERATE IT HESITATES AND WANTS TO SHUT OFF AT TIMES IT DOES IT WONT GO UP HILL AND WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT HESITATES AND SHUTS OFF YOU START IT BACK UP FINE AND IT WONT GO TRANSMISSION FAILS ITS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES IT ONCE TRANSMISSION WARMS UP. *TR
