general problems of the 2014 Ford Fiesta - part 2

I have been taking off after stopping and the transmission or fuel injection misses causing the vehicle to not engage the drive train just right. The vehicle hesitates, lurches, and shutters. The vibration is bad and I'm worried if I take off from a stop light or sign, the vehicle does not engage the drive train, I might be hit by another vehicle because I cannot get the vehicle out of the path of traffic due to the hesitation. This is a very serious safety issue and something must be done to correct the problem.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fiesta. While stopped at a red light, there was a sudden increase in engine rpms without warning. Also, the contact stated that the vehicle consistently shook without warning while accelerating. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

Car stutters and jerks when moving slow, or coming from s stop. The dual clutches have been replaced twice already.

While at a stop light and attempting to accelerate the car hesitated and did a jumping like shudder/shaking. It stopped after the car was just above the 20 mph mark. Since it did not happened again for a few weeks did not take it into consideration, and did not attempt to take it to the dealer. Most of the times they tell you the hesitation and shaking need to be present when the inspect the vehicle to determine the cause of it. I was researching some TSB# and found out this shaking and hesitation was a more serious problem that we (my spouse and I) thought and wanted to file a complaint about this.

Vehicle has a defective transmission, it continues to have erratically issues while shifting gears or when getting ready to take off causing to have difficult driving and there are times when the car will not change gears fast enough when driving on the freeway. We have taken the car several times to the dealer and software updates have been made or module interface has been updated. We have records on maintenance performed on this car. We believe that the car is not safe to drive. Please help.

The car shutters and loses power when accelerating at take off or low speed.

In July 2014, I attempted to accelerate from a stop across traffic in a 25-mile-an-hour zone and could not. The vehicle started the process of acceleration, moving me into oncoming traffic, and then hesitated while I was in the cross hairs of another vehicle. This hesitation continued even though I fully depressed the accelerator in an attempt to get the vehicle to respond. In short, I slammed the accelerator to the floor and the vehicle did not respond. I avoided an accident only because the oncoming driver took evasive action.

I bought a brand new 2014 Ford Fiesta February 14th, 2014. Great car, great mpg, ect. . . I started having a jerking motion whenever I accelerated about 3 months into owning my car. I've brought my car in to get the transmission module and clutch fixed 4 times already and have gotten nowhere. Penske Ford kept telling me it was "within factory limits" and the clutch was backordered and that I "didn't need it anymore". I return my car to service about a month ago to be told that I really need a clutch and have for some time! again, clutch is backordered with no eta. My car now is unable to accelerate at all when I am merging into on coming traffic and it is now a safety concern. Ford refuses to take responsibility for their vehicle that I am paying monthly on. As far as I'm concerned they've lost a customer and will be confronted with many law suits on this issue. I feel that anyone with this year make and model feel the same way. Thanks for caring about your customers safety Ford. . .

The vehicle hesitates to accelerate as well as accelerates on its own.

2014 Ford Fiesta se with about 15,000 miles started having shuttering problems that are extremely violent and could cause loss of control and is thought to be a safety concern to driver and others on road. I have owns this car since brand new from the dealership. I started having problems with the powertrain around 14000 miles. The problem is a severe shutter problem when you accelerate. The only way to stop this problem when it is happening is to let the gas pedal out of give it a lot more gas. This can happen at any speed from 5 mph to 50 mph that I have experienced it. The shutter jerks the driver forward and backward very forcefully. I took the car in under warranty and was told that the this is normal and sent back home. At 15000 miles I took the car in and they said the dual clutch seal was leaking and therefore ruined the clutch. They replaced all parts and called to say it was complete. They left voicemail, and when I called dealership back they said the new parts had broke while on the test drive and they had to order exact parts again. Dealership took another few days to fix and then I received the car. Now Feb 2015 car is doing exact same thing and has 24000 miles on. The shuttering is a safety concern as it could result in my wife or I loosing control of the vehicle when it does this at high speed. I do not understand how this does not cause a safety violation? thanks for your time.

A couple months after buying my new car, I noticed the transmission would start to shudder and/or buck when accelerating after a stop. Contacted the dealership and have brought it in 3 times with no one at the dealership being able to "recreate" the problem and therefore they couldn't fix it. They also said that because of the type of transmission, the problems I was describing are to be expected. How could a company release a transmission that is "supposed" to buck and shudder? problem has continued to get worse and I have now experienced several incidents that I feel are very dangerous. One occurs when I approach a stop and I am applying the brakes, the car will rev up and accelerate on its own, almost causing me to go into traffic. Another incident is when I am at a yield and don't come to a complete stop, then accelerate to merge with traffic, the transmission skips/stutters/shudders delaying my acceleration and making the merge dangerous. The problem is intermittent, and does not occur at every stop/yield. I am afraid to drive my car because I never know what or when it will happen again.

I purchased my Ford Fiesta new in December 2014. Within a few weeks it lags, sputters, grinds and seems to want to quit upon acceleration in low speeds. It has consistently done this for the year that I have owned it. I am worried that it will quit while accelerating into traffic.

Ford Fiesta 2014 engine excessively trembles/jumps when I accelerate from a stopped position. The car does accelerate on itself at times mostly when I have ac on or after turning it off. Ford should recall this car now. Or fix this car and provide customer with a paid rental car while this one is being fixed.
