Transmission Not Engage problems of the 2011 Ford Fiesta

Driving on the interstate and my car would not accelerate . The clutch which is a auto shift clutch would not disengage had to pull over between on ramp and flowing traffic. Restarted car a couple of times and finna lol worked ok. I called my dealership service dept. And they said to take it to nearest Ford service dept. . Codes were shift fork position circuit p2832 p2877clutch b disengaging slow and shift forka position circuit range/performance permanent. This could be a dangerous issue I'm glad was driving and not my daughter.

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.

All three occurrences requiring my car to be taken to a shop for repairs involved the vehicle moving at hi-way speeds. While travelling at 65mph, the cruise control cut out and engine died, so I had to coast to the side of the road. Eventually it restarted and I got home. The issue was electronic in nature according to the dealership where I bought the car, and took it for service. The part was not immediately available and when asked, the dealership said it was safe to drive until the part came in. The repair was made under warranty. The second problem was very similar to the first occurrence, and the dealership told me it was a different problem, but was nonetheless electronic in nature. The repair was made under warranty. The third and most recent issue involves the transmission. On my daily commute, cruise set at 65mph, the transmission disengaged. There was no power to the drivetrain. When I coasted to the shoulder, no gear could be achieved. When shut off, the car would not restart. After about ten minutes, after many clunking and clicking noises had occurred under the hood, the car started and I continued. It happened again. . . And again. This occurred five times in 30 miles, and finally the car would not restart. This was about five miles from home and my car had to be towed to the dealer for repair. The car is two years old with 85,000 miles. All miles are hi-way miles. All routine maintenance has been performed with receipts. This vehicle is a safety hazard, for intermittent, total loss of power and control on the hi-way, as well as leaving the occupants stranded at risk, on the shoulder of said hi-way. Ford does not seem to want to acknowledge publically that this is a safety problem (I. E. Recall).

Unusual clunking noises when starting in the cold. Sounds like a dead-battery start, but louder. Can start car, but not without this odd noise. Yesterday, after starting car, it refused to engage in any gear--either reverse or drive. Turned car off, re-started and was then able to find a gear. Also, first and second gears are not engaging properly; there is a clunk when slowing down and it is herky-jerky. It is in for service now as I type, but the courtesy van driver told me they have had 2 Fiesta's in already with this problem and he wouldn't be surprised if there were a recall. Gulp.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the clutch would not engaged properly and caused the vehicle to stall while driving 15 mph. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer to have the clutch replaced but the repair did not remedy the issue. The failure mileage was 72,500.
