Transmission failures on Ford Fiesta. I have had the the current recall done back in November of 2015. At that time I also had a clutch installed on the vehicle. Since then the transmission has locked up and failed again. The vehicle will not go into reverse only forward. I believe the transmission issues on the Ford Fiesta are far worse than what Ford is reporting. I would like to have an investigation started to find out what the underlying issues with this and to see if Ford is hiding anything. I believe that this is the inherent problem with the transmission that Ford has put in their Fiestas and focuses. The Ford Fiesta has become a dangerous vehicle when the transmission locks up will not accelerate will not shift into gear.
I have had my 2012 Ford Fiesta ses since September 2011. My vehicle was involved in a transmission recall awhile back and ever since it has had constant transmission issues to include jerky shifting, sluggish acceleration, failure to shift gears, transmission failure message appearing on the radio screen and all constant jerking when driving coming from the transmission. I have had it looked at before with being told it was operating as it should. If this is how it's supposed to operate, I will never purchase another Ford.
Going up a hill in town the transmission went in and out of gear, almost could not make it up the hill because the transmission would not stay in gear.
I have been having problems with my transmission from shortly after the day I purchased the vehicle. It shutters, locks up and cannot shift gears. It has been in the shop over 5 times for the same issue and is still under manufacturers warranty. What can be done for me?.

The vehicle was repaired under the manufacturer special customer satisfaction program pertaining to the replacement of the transmission shifter. After the remedy was performed, the failure recurred twice. The recall remedy was insufficient and failed to correct the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.
