Transmission Noise problems of the 2014 Ford Fiesta

I just paid $2,333. 00 for a transmission because the bearings were out and it made a loud roaring noise.

The bearings in the transmission need replaced. The transmission makes a roaring noise.

Part 2: this is the second part of the complaint following the trade-in of the 2012 focus I purchased brand new. . . So, sick of the focus acting up all the time, I took it back into jim snead Ford, waynesboro, va and he encourages me to buy a brand new Fiesta. I did not complain as he was my sole main guidance and I thought I could trust jim. On 08/09/2013, I purchase a brand new Ford Fiesta trading in the 2012 Ford focus. Jim snead allows only $961 trade in value for the focus and I lost $23,690. 68 on depreciation and monthly payments! I buy the Fiesta and the same thing happens again. The car's tires spin when accelerating from a full stop then the vehicle jumps out forward. The car rides rough, it bucks, it misses, it makes noises, it shudders. This time I am not very happy nor pleasant with mr. Jim snead. I was a teacher, a widow w/ two kids still dependent on me and here he sells me another 'crap', terrifying car that seems to have a mind of its own. Of course, according to mr. Snead, it is my driving--not the car. I notice that the service department is not writing up my complaints every time I bring it in about the transmission-just like they left it out of my complaints with the focus. The Fiesta receives its first of 3 transmissions a year after I purchased the car on 09/23/2014. While I am driving around w/ the service manager so he can feel how terrible the car runs, he admits to me the car is a bunch of junk and I need to start reading up on it. Now the Fiesta is in the shop often and mr. Snead and I are not very friendly. I have all the service records, but I have to write in the car is running raggfed as the service department will not put it in the report. I want mr. Snead to buy the car back, but he refuses. Every month that rolls by is a disaster waiting to happen w/ the Fiesta. Another 'dollar bleeder', unsafe car!!.

My transmission seems to be oof, I'm having trouble when driving with it �skipping� its harder for it to accelerate when driving. You hear a few thuds and then my rpms will go up before the car will move. I don't really know the proper terms. It can happen anytime regardless if I'm at a stop light or just driving down the road. It has happened on multiple occasions. I've never had a transmission do this. It can be scary when I start to drive and then my car doesn't move but instead makes the thudding noise before eventually taking off faster than expected. I can feel it in the car when the thudding happens.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while traveling at various speeds, the transmission exhibited a loud noise and there was an abnormal vibration. Also, the contact indicated that the gears were intermittently slipping and the failure was getting progressively worse. The failure was reported to the authorized dealer on multiple occasions but the vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician verified the failure and referred the contact to the authorized dealer to re-flash the computer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.

-transmission is very jerky -car has a lot of hesitation after accelerating from a low speed or a stop -shuddering and grinding noise when stopping and accelerating when I first bought the car these issues were minor and I was told they would go away once the car got used to my style of driving but now they have become more severe and happening more frequently making this car a safety issue. When changing lanes and making turns the car is very unpredictable and may soon cause an accident. I have taken it into Ford numerous times and am always told this is how the car runs and these are normal functions for the transmission. I believe these cars need to be recalled and off the road before something serious happens.
