No incident yet but can smell burnt clutch only 58,000 miles it's the dual clutch for dp6 transmission I think is the name of the transmission , if clutch fails while going up hill and hits the vehicle behind you because all of a sudden your car is not moving . Not related to 2011 Ford Fiesta , but girlfriends 2014 Ford focus with around 58,000 miles on it ,mileage is close to my miles , transmission has problems transmission and engine light came on , code said actuator a is bad , but from what I've read on the internet that when transmission and engine light both come on it says bad transmission control module . Her car is 2014 Ford focus , going to call dealer tomorrow, her extended warranty expired in August of last year . I have also read that Ford has extended warranty on tcm to 10 years . We are not wanting to take it there an have them tell us transmission needs replaced . I've owned Ford's all my life never seen so many transmission problems with a vehicle as Ford has with this dual clutch transmission. I used to be a mechanic all my life , I rebuilt transmissions for 14 years never seen any Ford problems like these transmissions are having . If we are told her transmission is bad that will be the last Ford's I'll ever own , transmission replacement is 7000 to 8000 dollars to replace when Ford knows this transmission has problems , not really fair an owner has to spend that kind of money on something that Ford knows is bad from the year 2011 to 2018. Thank you for your time.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the when the vehicle was shifted to reverse, the vehicle failed to engage. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tcm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred on numerous occasions.

1)14mo2 - the transmission control module (tcm) failed. Yes it is available for inspection upon request, however the issue has been repaired since the malfunction. The vehicle could no longer be controlled. It could not shift gear. The check engine light came on, but the vehicle was not operational. A 65 year old disabled operator was transporting her 6 year old granddaughter home from school when the malfunction took place. Two lives inside the vehicle were placed at risk as well as the lives of other drivers and passengers in the vicinity. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. Ford issued a 14mo2 warranty extension on this part. We brought the vehicle to covert Ford of hutto, TX who confirmed the warranty extension. However, they would not cover the repair, because the extension expired 3 months prior. Due to the covid pandemic, the high risk elderly category of the driver, she did not seek repair earlier. Also, she is not the first owner of the pre-owned vehicle and did not receive any information regarding this warranty extension to seek repair. The vehicle and component has been inspected by covert Ford of hutto. The check engine light came on at the time of failure. At that point a tow truck was called (the vehicle was not operational) and it was towed to the dealer, covert Ford of hutto. 2)2os30 - door latch recall. This has been repaired. Yes, vehicle is avail. For inspect. On req. 65 year old disabled driver and passengers put at risk for door opening while in motion. Other drivers in vicinity put at risk. Problem confirmed by dealer with recall issued. Component inspected and replaced by dealership covert Ford of hutto. The door did not shut properly. No warning lamps/lights to indicate an issue.

My 2011 Ford Fiesta shudders, has sudden or delayed acceleration,delays in downshift, difficulty stopping/braking,it hesitates when changing gears. Also has harsh engagement. I purchased from a private owner in 2021. I have contacted Ford motor company headquarters. I have taken it to my local Ford dealership,told them what it does, they would not drive it so they could see what it does and how dangerous it can be at times. All they said was "OH it's the tcm and we got them back ordered for 6 mths" but if I want to pay for and order the part and just leave my car setting at the Ford dealership until the part comes in I can do that. Then pay god only knows how much for them to put the part on. This is the only vehicle I have right now. I told them that. They said "OH we can't give ya no loaner car for that long. And the longer you drive it like that the more it's gonna tear up other parts of your car. And the Ford motor company said OH you missed the deadline for the buy back program or any compensation for your cari Ford has failed to meet the standards required by the federal motor safety commission and yhey refuse to acknowledge me or help me in any way. All the other 2011 Ford Fiesta cars with the dual shift clutch transmission were fixed or bought back or the owners were compensated. I am in the same unsafe predicament as those consumers were. I'm not asking for a brand new vehicle or thousands of dollars. I just want my car fixed and something to drive to work and to the grocery store while they fix it. Or another car of equal value to what my car is supposed to be. Thank you in advance for anything you can help me with.

My vehicle began to feel like driving a boat. It was shuddering and driving roughly. My vehicle was repaired by a recall that I believe reprogrammed the tcm, 14m02tsb 16-0129 was done yesterday. Although I can feel some improvement in the 35 mi drive home, it still shudders and feels the same. This did not fix the problem. My boyfriend researched through various service bulletins and found 14m01. He then jacked up the car, removed the tire to get a better look and saw the leak. It does not leak enough to leave noticeable marks on driveway but is leaking. When I called, I was told that my vehicle was no longer covered as I am just outside of this warranty since I have slightly over 127797 miles and this ended at 100,000 or 10 years. My car is a 2011. If I had been aware of this problem, it would have been fixed during that time. Since there was no code or warning and no visible evidence of the leakage, I was unaware. The dealer who reprogrammed the tcm was unaware, there are no codes relating to this issue on the car. They only code I now have is an oxygen sensor or something code that showed up after they reprogrammed the tcm. I believe Ford should extend this warranty for these effected cars, there are many with this problem, we have researched through the complaints. I want Ford to cover the costs of parts, labor and any costs related to the repair of this problem that they were fully aware of. I know they say the 2 bulletins are not related but I feel that they are.

Car did not shift into second gear while making left turn in intersection multiple times. Jolted and shook while turning with oncoming traffic. I must now make sure there is at least 10 seconds worth of space before taking a left turn in order to feel safe. Took to mechanic and they stated it was tcm diagnosis and to talk to Ford. Spoke to them and they stated recall period was expired.

I have had the tcm on this vehicle replaced twice after transmission malfunction light suddenly came on. It came on a third time and the issue still causes transmission malfunction indicator to illuminate, however this time it is my dual clutch. Same symptoms in the vehicle every time. With no warning, the vehicle will suddenly lose power, fail to change gears, shutter forward after stopping, come to a complete stop in the middle of driving. Two days ago driving uphill, my vehicle, with no warning at all, started going in reverse, down the hill. I am in the middle of a class action suit with Ford that is taking forever to settle. I have tried to get Ford to replace my clutch, but they claim it is not part of the extended warranty like the tcm is now, even though it causes the same issues with the vehicle. I can pay to have it fixed myself, but it can go out at any given time again, with no warning. Ford does not believe these issues are safety issues. They are. These cars do these things suddenly. As I am reaching out to Ford about this, they do however inform me that there is a recall on my door latches. They consider this a safety issue, but not the transmission? unbelievable.

About the middle of last year I noticed the problem while driving,so I stopped driving it. About two months ago I tried to start my car and the vehicle shut down completely for the second time and I had it towed to the Ford dealership in southgate,they said that Ford motor told them to reset the software in the car,they did and got it running again. They also told me that there was a clutch problem and that was causing the engine light to be on. What they didn't tell me was that NHTSA and Ford motor had a recall to fix the transmission clutch shudder/transmission input shaft seal which has a warranty extension for free,they told me it would cost me over $2000 dollars to have fix. The field service action number is 14m01 and the fsa tittle is transmission control module extended warranty coverage. I bought this car in January 2018 from dick genthe Chevrolet and have not been able to drive it safely since the middle of 2019. Until now,I tried to get them to take the car back,and they would not. I would like for Ford motor company and their dealership to fix my car for free or give me a 2018 in it's place with a minimum payment of 158. 12 which is what I'm still paying for the 2011 Ford Fiesta. Thank you for your time in addressing this safety issue. I would like to feel safe in my car when I'm driving.

The vehicle was in motion on a highway and the engine light appear, and at the same time the the transmission control module failed. I took the car to the Ford dealership in bronx and they told I have a clutch problem, plus transmission control module problem. They told me they dont cover the recall, according the warranty department because the damage is internal. But the recall for Ford Fiesta 2011 existing because of transportation fail. Can you tell me for sure why they don't approve and if is a company mistake they should buy your car or to replace it?.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that ever since the vehicle was purchased on April 5, 2010, she noticed that it did not engage in gear at times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that there was a failure with the transmission control module. The vehicle was taken to john kennedy Ford (1650 the fairway, jenkintown, PA 19046) where it was diagnosed that the clutch failed and shift loaders were needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

When I purchased my vehicle new I had several problems with the transmission. After several trips to joe cotton Ford in carol stream, IL there was no remedy besides removing the cables from the battery to reset the vehicle's computer. On September of this year I received a letter from Ford motor CO. To advise that they need to do a software update due to a tcm circuit failure. I took my vehicle to friendly Ford 333 e irving park, roselle, IL, on Monday November 11, 2019, so they can rectify the problem. Prior to taking my vehicle to the dealership I removed the battery cables. Apparently the dealership was not able to install the new software. The service advisor advised me that the card code reader was not able to identify the error message and they had to charge me. My vehicle was at the dealership for several days and they loaned me a car while it was in service. I was charged $199. 00 for them to look at the problem and since they could not update the software I had to pay the bill. I called Ford motor CO. For assistance and the agent told me that there was little they can do since the dealership is a franchise. This is unjust that I was charged for something I was advised that would be free of charge. I hope to be reimbursed.

While driving on highway the transmission bucks and shudders at times ! the tcm has been replaced twice and reprogrammed 3 times! same with transmissions clutch! car doesn't get enough acceleration going up hill either. This does this every time I drive ! it's having a hard time finding what gear to go in !.

Transmission not working. Took to dealer said extended to tcm would be covered but not malfunctioning. Clutch and internal assembly is failing. Class action lawsuit and dealer suggested me to call Ford. This is riduculous. Car has actually been parked for 3 months because we were afraid to drive. Afaid I will be in an accident if I drive this car and I will hold Ford fully responsible if this happens. I am considering looking for an attorney.

Tl � the contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while driving 45 mph he noticed that the rpm on his manual vehicle went all the way up but his vehicle had not shifted gears. No warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated it had exhibited the same symptoms as an unknown recall. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer (tim grody Ford (6211 beach blvd, buena park, CA 90621) who diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the pcm module was fractured and it was repaired but, the vehicle still experienced the failure. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that he should take the vehicle to another dealer. The failure mileage was 88587. Jc.

My 2011 Ford Fiesta with only 94k on it has a automatic transmission failure and starting issues. There are recalls on where Ford extended the tcm warranty to 10 years 150,000 miles which I believe may have lead to the failure of my transmission. The Ford dealership in ankeny iowa says they will not do anything for me to fix this problem. .

I was at the rocky mountain national park when my car wouldn't start. I have a aaa membership so they came and jumped my car. We drove a couple miles bought a new battery but it was was not shifting properly . We called our Ford dealership in wisconsin that we always go to and they told us the transmission control module will prevent car from starting , drain your battery , and not allow car to shift properly. The drive down the mountain was very scary the car would not shift right and jerked the car violently. The drive on the highway was not much better, we had semi's almost hit us. Flashing lights at us because we could not speed up. We called around no one had the part we needed. With it being the weekend some Ford service shops weren't even open. We were told not to shut car off because it might not start again so we drove all night long for 26 hours home at 50 mph because we could not go any faster. The speed limit was 75 mph and several times we had cars get right on our bumper and switching lanes at the last second. Finally my husband put our hazard lights on so other drivers would realize we were unable to go fast. It was a scary and nerve racking experience. The Ford Fiesta has a really bad transmission that has broken on us before and Ford keeps extending the warranty but that doesn't give us peace of mind when traveling. I have to worry every time I travel that this car will break down. In fact I have rented cars 3 times to travel because I don't trust my Ford. This vacation I decided it was a waste of money to rent a car for a week and I took my Ford and it let my family down for the last time. This car should be recalled because it is not safe. You have to make sure that you have a lot of room to pull out at intersections because it shifts so slowly and does not take off like most cars. Please help get this unsafe car off the road. Thanks.

5 times repaired for some of the same thing. Clutch replaced 3 out of 5, shaft seals replaced, reprogrammed several times pcm/tcm, pp test shudder, performed several adaptive learn strategies. In summary we have a lemon. If my son needed to get out of the way in a hurry, and couldn't due to the faulty parts on his car. He could be killed or injured real bad. Then there would be a big law suit.

Ive taken my car to the dealership around 4 times for the same problem. The fourth being the worst. The car will shudder, shake, over rev, low power when taking off and lack of powersteering and brakes. Its had its tcm reprogrammed to no avail! clutch has been replaced to no avail. Third time it stared again and had to get the car reprogrammed again. The last time the car would not drive over 30 mph without shaking shuddering and trying to find the right gear. Couple of times the car stopped while driving!! dealership replaced the tcm . On about the fourth time in. My wife drives our kids to school in this car and I have not confidence in its ability to sustain and deliver my family safely to their destinatation. Im currently making payments and have also tried to talk to Ford about a buy back or replacement and they said I don't meet or qualify for the California lemon law. They had pulled my records at the dealership to verify the car status. All actions that the car displayed and others have encountered have happened when pulling away to accelerate. A couple of my complaints on the service record was not recorded. I think the first and the last ones were however.

On 10/10/16, my car was shuddering once it hit 10 mph and when shifting from d to p. I brought it into cal worthington alaska and they tested trans operation and found trans clutch shudder, checked oasis for 15b22 , TSB 16-0109, pp test n, checked for dtc's in the tcm none found, reflashed pcm/tcm, performed adaptive clutch learn, test drove vehicle recorded shudder event and uploaded data to Ford, aquired the rvc code rpfhfpc8nry5f ordered clutch. TSB 16-0109 performed, 160198b 0. 6 raised vehicle and removed trans assembly, inspected for trans leaks none found. Replaced clutch, throw/out bearing, and the small snap/ring. Performed clutch adaptive learn again, test drove finding operation normal.

Our 2011 Ford Fiesta started experiencing problems while driving. It was not shifting properly and running really jagged at times. Also the check engine/transmission light came on. On Wednesday September 14, 2016 I took in the car to our local Ford dealer colley Ford in glendora,CA. They told me it was probably the transmission control module that had to be programmed. I called the next day and they told me it needed a new transmission control module and they would have to order one. We went in on sept 26, 2016 and they said they had not received the part yet. Its been almost two weeks and we have not had the car because Ford hasn't delivered the part to the dealership.

The transmission will stop engaging while driving the motor rpms go up and you loose power to the wheels causing traffic to run into the back or run over you . Getting onto the highway merged into traffic got up to speed than all of the sudden motro reved up and lost speed rapidly almost got run over by tractor trailer had to pull off onto shoulder of the highway ,then thr call would not go over 30 mph this has happened 3 times . The first time Ford said it was the timing of motor . This has happened twice after that . I cant even drive be cause im afraid of killing me and my family. This transmission has a definite and they wont acknowledge . They did send me a recall for the tcm but they told me it had nothing to do with the transmission issue I have not driven the car due to safety and fear of hurting myself or someone else.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle was slipping into neutral independently. In addition, while driving 35 mph, the vehicle was jerking while the rpm was extremely rising. The contact mentioned that while at a stop, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to kowalski Ford 33450 lake rd, avon lake, OH 44012 where it was diagnosed that the transmission and dry clutch needed to be replaced, the shift lever needed to be repaired, transmission control module and power train control module needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted the next day. The vehicle was towed to kowalski Ford 33450 lake rd, avon lake, OH 44012 where the contact informed the them of the failure while driving however, the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,788. Ak.

My car had the transmission control module reprogrammed on 06/06/16 and is having the same issue as we speak 8/24/16. The car jerks, doesn't accelerate properly and is doing what it wants, very unsafe as it doesn't want to shift and jolts when it does. It's almost like its stuck in gear. This car has been nothing but problems and I'm irritated that this was repaired 2 months ago and the problem clearly isn't fixed. I'm pregnant and am very dissapointed that Ford can allow a problem like this to continue without proper resolution and safety for its customers.

I have been dealing with transmission issues since I bought the vehicle. The first time it happened I was doing 50 mph and it shifted out of gear. This was quite disturbing. I took it in to Ford and they told me it just needed the program updated. Then during the winter it wouldn't go into gear at all, not forward, reverse or anything. Once again I took it in and they said it was the programming. They programed it again. So back in Feb it happened again, and I did then receive a letter stating there was some issues, so I was given a 100,000 mile warranty on fixing the issue. Well I told them to replace the tcm, but once again they love to reprogram. So my oldest son is in need of a vehicle and he was driving it up in madison wisconsin on the most crazy freeway and it decided to lose the power doing more than 50 mph. My son was so stressed and was almost hit by a semi. I have had it with the reprogramming. I have emails and calls put into Ford and I am not asking for anything but a fix or to trade in and start over. They don't want to do anything for us at all. I guess they want someone to die first before they fix anything.

On 04/01/2016, my car was shuddering when I was drving as 10 mph, rpm not working correctly and gears shifting incorrectly. I brought my car into cal worthington Ford alaska. Their diagnosis- see15b22, reprogrammed pcm and tcm. Performed shift drum and clutch relearn, cleared codes- ok.

Transmission control module recall: after having the "tcm" software updated in September, the transmission malfunction light still comes on when my car will not switch gears. One day driving down the interstate, my car was going 65 mph and was not switching gears. After having it towed to the nearest Ford dealership, my car was worked on and the transmission control module was finally replaced. Less than a week later, my car would not accelerate or switch gears while driving up a hill. My car began to move backwards since it would not accelerate. My car was rolling backwards down a hill into oncoming traffic. The Ford dealership does not seem to be concerned and assured me the software needed to be updated again after it was updated less than a week ago. This is something that I find to be dangerous if the car will not switch gears. The first time the car was taken to a Ford dealership, I was told that the transmission control module part itself was on backorder and could not be replaced for at least a year. Three months later when it was towed to a different Ford dealership, they had one readily available and it was replaced within two days and the software updated accompanied the service event. Less than a week later my car is in limp mode and will barely accelerate to get me safely off the road. This issue is much bigger than it seems and Ford does not seem to have the urgency to fix a dangerous issue for their customers. Upon calling Ford to have my vehicle looked at, it was about a 5 day wait and they could not provide me with a rental or loaner car.

I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta, my vehicle has a number of recalls out. (Ford recall number 15s16, field service action number 14m01 and 14m02). I had contacted the dealer November of 2015, they told me that they would contact me when parts were available. I have heard nothing for a year now. There are two recalls out having to do with the transmission. ( transmission clutch shudder/transmission input shaft seal warranty extension and transmission control module extended warranty coverage). I have had my father who is a mechanic tell me that is why my transmission is going out. I have three children and the car is barely shifting correctly and I feel is unsafe to drive but being my only form of transportation I am forced to do so. I need something done, I feel that I shouldn't have to pay for a new transmission when if the recalls were preformed in a timely manner I would not have any issues at all. Please help me resolve this issue. I am already paying so much on this car and getting no where with what I own due to all my payment going to interest. I cannot go without a vehicle. Please help!.

Vehicle wont go into gear. Engine starts fine, but transmission will not engage. Backed out of garage, put car into drive, and nothing. Car will not engage in r or d. Had it towed to dealer. Transmission control module replaced but car still not running correctly, per dealer. Dealer says car needs a new transmission. Ford says I'm 1450 miles and 60 days over the 60k/5 yr warranty so no assistance with paying for repairs. I've seem no indication from all these posts that a transmission replacement has fixed the vehicle.

This is an update to a previous complaint with my car. Previously the car gave out in the hills of a sf. The car said it had a problem with the transmission and would not give any propulsion risking going backward on a hill. The dealer updated the software. They said this was the fix. They said after 1000 miles it should fix itself. Since then the car has been running much more sluggish. It forces itself on accelerating. It jerks much more excessively when I take off the gas. It jerks much more when I brake and I hear the metal grinding and clanking together. It was a really bad software update. 1000 passed and we ran into another problem. I had the car parked in the house. Tried to turn car back on and would not turn on. I heard clicking noise as if the battery was dead. I had dome lights on for a few minutes but nothing excessive. Shouldn't die out like that. Tried several times to turn it on and nothing. Started to call roadside assistance for backup. I then removed the car charger I had plugged in and tried again. The car sputtered on and starting giving me notifications. A service and check engine light. Also the display said that there was a "transmission malfunction" and to service it now. The engine was really forcing itself as I heard it. Rpm was high even going slow. Car still sputters on after a few tries. Checked the codes through obd2. Car was throwing p0606. Said that it was ecm/pcm processor problem. I have no idea what is wrong with this car. I feel like its completely falling apart all around. Horrible car with too many issues!!!! this car needs a massive recall on it!!! it is unequivocally unsafe and unfit for the road!.

After purchasing this vehicle in 2012, I experienced shaking while shifting, shuttering noises and idling in low gears. Several months after purchase, I contacted the dealership and I was told that oil was leaking onto my clutch. Covered under warranty, they replaced the flexplate and seals and reinstalled the transmission. I continued to experience shuttering, shaking and troublesome shifting but was reassured by the dealership that this experience was normal for this vehicle and its transmission and I need not be concerned. This week, while using cruise control at about 60 mph on a busy highway during rush hour, I heard what sounded like metal parts breaking under my left foot following by grinding noises. I pulled the car to the side of the highway safely but had to apply the e-brake because the car rolled forward in park and refused to accelerate in drive. I also saw messages on the computer monitor that read "hillside start assist" and "transmission ok. " I called roadside assistance and after leaking what appeared to be oil all over the bed of the tow truck, the car has been taken to a Ford dealership. I have not yet received a diagnosis for the problem. The service adviser told me that he believes the issue is the traction control module. It should also be noted that two months ago, this same service adviser completed a tcm update following a letter I received from Ford this year to have this update applied. Ford motor company and all of their affiliated dealerships have endangered the lives and well-being of their customers and are providing misleading information about their vehicles.

The transmission is very sluggish between shifts of first and second gear. The car also doesn't always downshift when the brakes are applied. Had a recall notice from Ford for a software update to the tcm. Took in for service. No change. Dealer says it's just the way that transmissions works. Current situation is dangerous.

After being in park at a gas station, I go into drive and start to go when the cars shudders, screeches, halts, and then loses power. I was able to start the car again, but when I pressed the gas there is no power. I try to put the car in park, and though the gear is in park an alert comes up telling me to put the car in park. Car will not go into park. Keeps rolling. Have to use my emergency break to stop the car. Paid out of pocket to have the car towed to the nearest Ford dealership. They said they were "pretty sure" it was the transmission control module. 5 days after bring it to them I call and find out that they have reprogrammed the transmission control module and something with the clutch. The problem is still not fixed. I haven't even been able to talk to the mechanic personally, but the lady at the service desk said "it's really thrown him for a loop. It definitely seems to be something with your transmission, but diagnostics says nothing is wrong with the car". This is going to kill someone. Period. It could've killed my boyfriend, my friend, my unborn baby and myself. I'm am furious with Ford. I have read hundreds of complaints from other people have the same problem with the same car. How has this not been recalled???.

While driving from denver to longmont CO (8/14/15) on hwy 76 the vehicle would not respond when I needed to accelerate then the engine cut off. I was able to restart and put in neutral to navigate traffic to get to side of the road. The car died. It could not be restarted. While waiting for tow truck I was able to start car again and tried to drive, it would not respond to accelerator and then died. Car was towed to longmont repair shop. The mechanic there reached out to Ford and was told they were aware of those issues but part was on 6 month backorder. Car was then picked up by Ford of longmont. They said that it wasn't the tcm and replaced 3 smaller parts. Six days later I was driving on diagonal highway in boulder CO and the car refused to accelerate and the died. Car was towed to Ford of longmont again. I was told by the service department that Ford requires that when replacing the tcm they must first repair minor part and return to customer as "fixed" and wait for subsequent part failure before replacing the tcm. Ford of longmont replaced the part on 8/20/15.
