I own a 2011 Fiesta with 130000 miles on it. As everyone is aware, they have transmission issues. I have had the tcm reprogrammed 5 or 6 time since purchasing the vehicle and replaced a clutch. They extended the warranty to 100000 miles but my clutch was cleaned in 2016 at approx 95000 miles before it was the standard for them to replace the bad clutches. Last September, at 120000 miles, iwas driving down a main road when my clutch quit working working while I was driving and stranded me in the middle of a main 7 lane road, wouldnt even go into neutral. I'm lucky there wasnt an accident with how suddenly it happened, after fighting with Ford for two months I had the clutch replaced in November and had to pay 1300 for what to me seems a major safety concern. Now less than a year later my other clutch is going out and again I'm outside of the 100000 mile warranty. I know 3 people personally who are also having g the same issue after having there clutch cleaned and then passing the 100000 mark. Ford has produced a car that failed in the middle of the road, will just quit working and will lurch forward and you are braking or when you are just starting to put gas on the pedal. I have personally experienced all of these issues and more(like my automatic vehicle revving and then starting to roll backwards down a hill while I'm pushing on the gas). I would like very much for Ford to be help responsible for this and have to extend their warranty past the 100000 miles. This is a known issue that they have tried to hide, then avoid and it is definitely a safety issue. I'm hoping someone can help with this.

The automatic Ford Fiesta experiences a very loud grinding/scraping noise as soon as it starts coasting (as soon as the foot is off the accelerator), regardless of whether the break pedal is applied or not. This happens regardless of the speed at which it is travelling. Initially took the car to a reputable mechanic who indicated the noise was coming from the transmission and recommended I go to the dealer since the issue might be covered under the car's warranty. The first trip to the dealer for the noise resulted in a replacement of the dual clutch. The second trip to the dealer for the noise resulted in a reprogramming of the pcm/tcm module. The third trip to the dealer for the noise resulted in being told this is "normal". The noise abated after the dual clutch replacement and reprogramming of modules, but quickly returned (within days) and grew louder than before. The noise is so loud that it can wake up neighbors when driven through neighborhoods and makes it difficult to have a conversation in the car.

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.

2011 Ford Fiesta aka black turd of death. 5 times in the dealer for transmission problems. Bad shuttering on take off. Started at 18,253 miles and now at 45,015 still does it. Worse when turning cause it will try and stall out. Gas pedal is not responsive when this happens. Contacted Ford and was told by the dealer there was nothing else could be done. That I need to get used to it. The clutch has been replaced didn't make a difference. Transmission has been flashed 5 times. But never test driven afterward. Just told it was normal. University Ford will not even give me copies of my paperwork. Said it was in the mail.

Car was purchased brand new in 2010 and within a year car began having issues with acceleration, deceleration, bucking, jerking, gear changes and just erratic shifting. Car will not accelerate to merge with traffic on the highway and will stall when stopping. We began complaining to the dealership (metro Ford schenectady NY) within a year after purchase and have complained multiple times and just get shrugged off and told that it's normal for the dual clutch. Last month 09/16 the tcm fully went and was replaced and when I went to pick it up it was bucking and shuttering and revving up to 2500 rpm without me even being on the gas pedal at all and they insist this is normal due to the reflash and will even out after driving for a while which is insane to me that I should have to drive a jerking and shuddering erratically shifting vehicle on the highway to work praying my car doesn't cause an accident. This ongoing issue for 6 years now has drained me and deterred me from ever wanting to own another Ford ever again.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the transmission failed causing the vehicle to jerk violently and lose acceleration power, while driving. The brake pedal had to be engaged with force to be able to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times where the transmission control module and the power train control module were updated and the power train clutch assembly was replaced. However, the failure was not corrected. The vehicle continued to jerk and lose acceleration power while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for further inspection. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.

This is in regards to a new 2011 Ford Fiesta with the powershift 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3 times now I have experienced the transmission hesitate for an extended period of time before engaging. Each time it has happened I have been coasting in traffic at speeds between 15-25 mph or so, waiting for oncoming traffic to pass and then attempting to accelerate across lanes of traffic without getting hit. When doing this, instead of accelerating quickly to avoid getting hit by traffic the car would act like it was revving but not engaging the clutch so I would end up just coasting across lanes of incoming traffic. To avoid having this happen I have learned that I have to quickly and fully stomp on the gas pedal in order for the transmission to realize I'm in need of quick acceleration. Using only moderate pressure on the gas pedal yields the scary hesitation that has lead to near imminent collisions. Light pressure to the gas pedal tends to make the car barely accelerate at all and sometimes feel like it's about to stall. It seems to me the computer gets confused in this scenario since you are first decelerating, then coasting, then trying to accelerate again all within a short time-frame.

I am writing this complaint as I am concerned about a safety issue related to the 2011 Ford Fiesta with the dual-clutch 6 speed transmission (power-shfit transmission). Ford has made a defective product with the installation of the power-shift transmission it has built in a joint venture with getrag of mexico. There are many complaints on the internet relating to the transmission on these cars. I am concerned that the transmission which can give out at any time could be a danger to the consumer. Also, the transmission has been shown to act erratically which could possibly lead to harm or even death to the consumer. Example: I was getting ready to back out of my driveway in my 2011 Ford Fiesta when I barely touched the accelerator pedal and was whisked at breakneck speed down my driveway. It took me a second to grasp what was happening and I slammed on the brakes before I went out onto the street. I actually said to myself out loud "whoa, what was that". This happened in my driveway but could have happened out on the road, in a crowded parking lot, any number of other places where the outcome could have been horrific. We don't want another Toyota fiasco on our hands. Ford is trying to come up with a fix for the transmission problems but they are also trying to keep the problems under wraps. This could be a huge financial blow to Ford corporation and I know their priority is to their stock holders. My priority is to the consumer who may be put in harms way by Ford's greed. I do not want someone to die because Ford wants to keep this all hush hush until they can find a solution for this problem. Do not drop the ball on this one. Let's try for once to nip something in the bud before someone has to die. As I said above, we don't want another Toyota fiasco. Thank you.
