Transmission Shudder problems of the 2014 Ford Fiesta

Due to the poor design of the dsp6 transmission, I have almost been in quite a few accidents when pulling into traffic on a city street and the transmission shutters and shakes so badly that I lose power and have almost been hit. Ford needs to be honest and upfront with the hardworking people that shelled out good money and repair the problem!.

Takata recall the "powertrain" transmission feels really shaky when driving and even when im about to brake you can hear shaky sounds cominf from the car it feels unsae something has to done.

Bought from car max 2015, 2016 February extreme shuddering from transmission Ford fixed for free new clutch plate. 2017 February would not start,car completely shut down on driver, transmission malfunction -- fix now. That's what it said on the warning lights plus the wrench. Dealer towed car. Technician stated while driving it died twice jerked violently upon acceleration from stop. North central Ford dallas texas when we called them initially was told this model it would keep happening because transmission design was faulty. They said could not complete test drive because vehicle was low on fuel,? they top off cars all of the time and did not complete test drive. ?.

Transmission hesitates and shudders when accelerating from stop or at low speeds. Has done this on the street when leaving a stop sign, when accelerating/turning into a busy street from a parking lot, and also while going about 15mph (slowed down for car ahead of me to turn, then as I accelerated I got the shuddering feeling).

Engine light came on in the middle of traffic on span leading to the gw bridge-message stated transmission hot, turn off vehicle for 6 minutes. Second message was "stop or speed-up" I had to navigate the car to the shoulder in rush hour and turn the car off. I called the dealer since it had been serviced a little over a week ago. They were suppose to address the recall items and reported transmission problem of excessive vibration of the transmission. Very dangerous!!!!!.

We purchased the car lightly used and are the second owner. We bought it with about 7,500 miles on the odo. When accelerating from a stop, the transmission shutters and vibrates, sometimes violently causing a pause in the acceleration which has sometimes been problematic in tough traffic situations. If stopped on a hill and trying to accelerate, the car struggles between 1st and 2nd gear and to accelerate. We view this as a major safety concern. Upon taking it to the dealership three times, they common answer is that "it acts that way because it has a transmission that is a manual transmission linked with an automatic" and no attempt is ever made to fix the problem. Only one time, they did a computer update, but the problem still existed, and so we took it back and received the answer given above. The transmission does not function safely or appropriately, and should be recalled. It has caused us a lot of stress when getting on highways or major roadways because of the acceleration (or lack of) issue. Plus when the car jolts, shakes, and vibrates violently, you feel like the whole car is going to break apart.

Transmission shudders going into gears. It shudders going from 2nd to 3rd and then 3rd to 4th. When if finally goes into 4th gear it lurches. Transmission will also shudder while cruising at low speeds of 10 to 15 mph and if braking then accelerating suddenly. When I finally took it into the dealership, it was slipping in and out of gear.

Transmission shudders when accelerating from a stop. This is a fairly regular problem that can increase the probability of an accident. . . I have had two very close calls due to my inability to accelerate through a left hand turn at an intersection. I was told that this is a "common" issue with this 6 speed, dual clutch, auto tranny. Unacceptable.

The transmission has been shaking and hesitating on acceleration since about 1 1/2 months after I got it. When it tries to switch gears it jerks and acts like it doesnt want to pull. The rpm's will rev up to about 4,000 and then drop down to about 1,500 and I will have to let off the gas entirely for it to steady out. The car shakes and jerks so hard at times that it feels like it is going to fall apart. I called the dealership and they say nothing is wrong with it, although ive known of several people to have issues with their Fiesta transmissions and I have read of multiple having accidents due to their acceleration issues.
