Transmission Noise problems of the 2011 Ford Fiesta

This vehicle is giving me a delay of about 10 seconds or more before to start. To start this vehicle, I have to put the ignition on on position, then wait until I hear a noise from the engine compartment before I turn the ignition key over to start the vehicle. Otherwise, she will not start, nor the speed lever will move from parking to reverse. I called the dealer mc mahon Ford in norwalk CT and explained to them the symptoms for the car, they told me that these Ford Fiesta and fusion are known to have transmission issues.

Loud noise and car seemed to be dragging and grinding. . Like wheels wouldn't turn when I had driven 3 miles on a regular streett doing 45 mph . Towed to dealer. . . . Dealer said it was the transmission, they replaced it on thur oct 22, on tues October 27, it went out again as I was driving home, same noises and complaint. . It only had 45 miles on it since the new transmission was put in 5 days previously. They aren't sure whats wrong. . Scared to drive the car. . Im 65 years old,.

Car will not start. Push start button makes the car do a fast clicking noise. The car will not start even from a jump. Upon taking the vehicle to the auto shop discovered a bad transmission module resulting from overheating/loss of fluid. Module replaced by Ford. Three weeks later same problem.

The transmission experiences excessive shuddering and jerking with acceleration, severe rattling and grinding noises, to complete loss of response with the accelerator. This is every time it is driven. It has supposedly been repaired on Ford 5 times now, however this time they will not cover it. This is a danger to myself, my family and anyone else on the road when you can not control acceleration/deceleration. This has been ongoing since 11/2014.

The car was making noises and sounding like it was having difficulty changing gears, took it in to a Ford dealer in charles town, wv (thomassen) and was told the car was ok, they reprogrammed it. A month later, same issue, took it back to them, they replaced the controller module and pronounced it fine. Three months later, same issue. Have been told was a recall on the transmission but now the Ford dealership it is at in weston, wv, toothman, is not wanting to perform the recall, and kept it on their lot for 1 month before they even put it on a rack and looked at it. They claim it was dry of transmission fluid. The day before leaving, oil change was done and fluid levels checked. When it broke down, my daughter and boyfriend checked the fluid first thing and it had plenty. Now, car is stranded and no one is wanting to help with this issue. Ford first gave a claim # and said recall would be performed. Now they say its not a recall, just a service.

I traveled from williamsburg va. To new cumberland, PA on business. I stopped for lunch, finished then proceeded to my hotel. On the way at about 40 mph I heard a loud grinding noise during acceleration. I'm retired military so I was close to an mwr auto care on base. Their technicians took a look and told me they were 95% sure it was transmission without opening the unit. From there I took it directly to the closes Ford dealership, and they told me they couldn't even look at it for two days. They referred me to a transmission company they use around the corner. They told me they would do a dynastic and would let me know. I received the call and they told me the engage barring system unit was going. Both the owner and manager did some research and found a lot of material on this 2011 Ford Fiesta transmission. Ford had already done 5 updates. I also did some research and found a lot people were having problems with this transmission. The transmission company told me that Ford had this unit on a major back log due to the problems around the country. They found a rebuilt that they could have in two days, where waiting on Ford would have been a month. Because I was on business, I needed to get back to virigina so $2530 later I'm writing you. Is there any guidance or information you could provide? I would like to see if there is a way to have Ford pay for their transmission problems.

My 2011 Ford Fiesta after not even 5 days of driving the vehicle it started jerking/lunging forward making crazy clicking noise. Transmission service soon light came on called them they came to my house and got it. It took them two weeks to find the problem and fix it. Then I was told the car has to get use to my driving never heard that a day in my life. Now it's grinding, slipping, hesitating, lose power, and roll backwards at take off. I was doing 65 last week when the car started jerking and I almost got hit. Taking it in Saturday to see what they say this time.

22 days plus additional 6 days: told by Ford dealership mechanic that oil pan is leaking oil, and water pump leaking. Dye pen fluorescent light inspection shows front crank seal leak, inspection of engine block damaged threads. Replaced engine per Ford, removed transmission from engine, disassemble engine from engine mount, mount new short block and install, reseal components, re-time engine, install engine to transmission assembly, rechecked for leaks coolant and oil. Ford Fiesta broke down next day after I picked up car from Ford shop for 22 days, automatic transmission would not go into drive, reverse or neutral, called tow truck for help to get vehicle back to Ford mechanic, who still working on car. I am very disappointed with the quality of the 2011 Ford Fiesta, doesn't get 40mpg, gets 35mpg, does not accelerate when you need to kind of lags, then makes gurgling noise in the water pump. 2011 Ford Fiesta is not made in the USA and it shows, it's a lemon.

I have a various problems with the transmission. It keeps having a grinding noise like it has a hard time going into gear. I have noticed that the problem is worse when trying to quickly stop as well as accelerating right after. The transmission problem is currently keeping the Fiesta in the shop right now but the dealership is saying that this problem is normal and there is no repair is available at this time. I have also had problems with the window not rolling up right. This was fixed but I think that over time it will start to be a problem again. The final problem is the sound system not being properly wired as I plugged my phone to charge and the radio stopped getting reception.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. While driving driving approximately 10 mph, the transmission emitted a loud grinding noise with excessive hesitation. On a separate occasion the transmission failed to respond during acceleration. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer four different times for the identical failure. Most recent the vehicle was taken to the dealer and an engineer inspected the vehicle and stated the transmission response was a common characteristic. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 500.

Car model: new Ford Fiesta year: 2011 delivery date: March 25, 2011 kilometers: 3000 following the replacement of the transmission assembly due to grinding noise and random acceleration in June 2011, I. E. 2 months after the delivery date of my new Fiesta, much more problems with the new transmission, the dealer refused to repair denying the exiting problems, a complaint was to Ford headquarters on 12 July 2011. A service manager left me a voice mail that everything is ok with the car! I wonder,on what basis did she build up her decision?! the following problems are not ok! 1- random acceleration 2- rolls back while on a drive position (randomly and unexpectedly) 3- hesitation (obvious can?t be denied) the car loses its power randomly and after a long drive. 4- buzzing grinding noise when pressing the gas pedal increasing day after day the above mentioned are safety issues and have to do with transmission. I'm still waiting for for headquarters to address the issue properly, and take the responsibility, escaping the problem won't solve it.
