Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that when accelerating the vehicle severely shakes . The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician observed the vehicle and was unable to diagnose a failure. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 500 miles and the current mileage was 27,242 miles. Sr.

Car started to jerk while trying to accelerate. And car started to turn off at red lights. And need to be started up again to get going .

Major issues with the transmission system, including rolling backwards after coming to a stop, hesitating when shifting, clunking and chattering when shifting, responding slowly when accelerating, feeling like the transmission is searching for the correct gear but cannot find it, and the rpm spikes and drop when shifting. Two software updates for the transmission and two replacements of the clutch have been made within the last 1 and a half.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. All warning indicator lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it w diagnosed the transmission module and battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. While driving, the vehicle continued to jerk and there was smoke emerging from the vents. The check engine warning light was illuminated. There was an abnormal booming noise detected. The contact had to press the accelerator pedal continuously for the vehicle to move forward. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed the catalytic convertor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted but provided no additional assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 28,100.

Feels like it strains as it shifts, feels like something in the transmission is not right. I am made to feel like its nothing and I know it is. I barely drive it over 25 miles per hour unless I go off the island and ofcourse there have been tire issues, kumho solus tires, tire size 185/60/15. I nearly had a deadly crash with a semi. I have filed a complaint about that also. The sync system seems to mess up alot also and gets worse with time.

I bought my car in 2011, and since 2012 my air conditioner only blows hot air. I have had it replaced multiple times, but it continues to break. My transmission, after several recalls, has continued to slip and mess up. Now, in the 4th year of me having my new car, I cannot pump gas at any station. When the nozzle is in the fuel tank, it continues to cut off, causing me to take 10x the amount to pump gas as it used it.

While driving the vehicle, driver was entering the freeway, the vehicle shifted through all the gears rapidly leaving the vehicle moving at ~40 - 45mph and not speeding up. The acceleration pedal was to the floor and the care didn't increase in speed and was almost rear ended because all other drivers on the road way were moving at ~60mph. The driver then let off the accelerator and pressed down again the vehicle then revved real high then shifted very hard and shook throwing the passengers forward and back causing a whip-lash type of movement among passengers. The vehicle often grinds while shifting and decelerating. Owner took the vehicle to dealership and the service department hours later called to report the vehicle is driving as expected and no issues with the vehicle and that the grinding gears was expected.
