general problems of the 2015 Ford Fiesta - part 2

As I was reverse parking in a parking lot my transmission just stalled and I was unable to go reverse, I heard the revving but she was not moving. I turned my car off and restarted it she was revving but didn't move. I shut her off her five minutes after that and restarted her and I was able to park her. After this happened, leaving the parking lot the car started to jerk forward and having a hard time transitioning into the next gear (it's automatic) it stalled as I was slightly applying pressure to accelerate in traffic it was very scary. My car has 54,000 miles.

My car is having electrical issues, the transmission will over rev but my speed remains the same or decreases. The car will lose power over time and the pedal will become spongy. This has become a very large inconvenience and an extreme safety hazard to myself and my passenger. I was almost in a collision with another vehicle which would be deemed my fault even though it would me the vehicle malfunctioning. When contacting Ford dearborn and perry Ford they tell me there's nothing they can do or I can pay a fee.

Received extended warranty notice in September, 2019. Vehicle is still under 100,000 miles and was purchased in 2018. Dps6 module failed and caused break to lock up and all accessories in vehicle to stop performing. Had to get work done and Ford required me to pay for replacement and labor of defective part. Clutch seems to not shift properly and causes a shuddering in the transmission. I have difficulty accelerating after coming to a complete stop (such as at a light). Reported these issues to dealership I had purchased vehicle from in 2018, shortly after purchase. Everyone continued to tell me there was no defect with the transmission or the clutch. I went to a few different Ford dealers to inquire about the extended warranty notice on the powershift transmission: “Ford motor company's commitment is not only to manufacture high-quality, reliable products, but to also achieve full customer satisfaction. To demonstrate this commitment, we offer you the customer satisfaction program at no cost for your vehicle with the VIN above. For your peace of mind, Ford motor company will extend the coverage of the clutch warranty. This program increases clutch warranty coverage to a total 7 years or 100,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever be fulfilled first. Note: your vehicle may have a vibration or intermittent jerk in the transmission clutch when accelerating smoothly after being stopped, during shift events. ” (Ford motor company). According to a number of Ford employees, none of these defects are covered by Ford motor vehicle company. Also, there were no dps6 modules available; the part was out of stock for 6 months. Service tech recommended I order part online; even provided name on shipment information; confirming he authorized and accepted the use of non-Ford part. Didn’t know I was even allowed to use the aftermarket part. Requested oem. Ended up paying for the shipping, total price of the part, and labor costs.

Many times, my car does not down shift after being in a passing gear and then letting off the gas. It stays at 5,000 rpm for a few seconds. July, 2018, my car was stopped as I was waiting to make a left turn. As I pressed on the gas to turn left, my car slipped into neutral. Because my brake lights weren't on, my car was hit from behind by an approaching car. September 3, 2018 my car was stopped, I put it into reverse to back into a parking spot. When I pressed the accelerator the car shimmied and moved forward instead of reverse.

The transmission on this vehicle has locked up several times. Within a week of purchasing this 2015 Ford Fiesta in January 2016, I had to take it back to the dealership for transmission issues. The car was jerking and wouldn't take the gas or back up. They kept the car for a week and told me that they replaced some items within the transmission and gave it back to me for my teenage daughter to drive. Since that day, I've taken the car back several times for the same issue. The technicians have started telling me that there's nothing wrong with the car when clearly there is something wrong with the car. It has stalled and would not move and cars were coming that has almost gotten my teenage daughter killed. I have taken it back to the dearlership several times for this issue and they keep refreshing it but nothing changes. I have had to make my daughter park the car since she's a college student and purchase her a new vehicle. This vehicle is not safe and I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone purchasing this car. Ford has been no help in resolving this situation. She had a car accident on a county street on 8/13/2018 because of this vehicle's issues but the airbags didn't deploy.

My vehicle suddenly slows down as warning lights illuminate at the exact same time. I had no choice but to avoid traffic and try to get the car off the roads as it loses power. I could get the vehicle restarted but couldn't get the speed back up to normal. I went to the dealership and was told that I need a throttle body replacement, for a car with less than 50k miles on it.

I was leaving las vegas, going 70 mph down hill and my car started to loose power while it produced a lot of white smoke. I was in a very dangerous situation and was stranded for 4 hrs in the middle of nowhere. The car never gave symptoms just died. No check engine or overheating, oil, coolant. I was traveling on a trip so I did have luggage but I never maxed car weight. The car is 2 years old with less than 48,000 miles. I've done all my maintenance on my car early than stickers and don't drive hard. Since I've had the car I've added about 10,000 miles. Back to what happened, I was able to get towed to barstow for free but mechanic I was referred to was closed. Frustrating and emotionally scaring. I had to cut a deal with the tow company to drive me as close as possible to my home in 94536 zip area. But I could only afford to san jose. The next day I ordered another roadside assistance to fremont Ford dealer and have to wait until it's convenient for them to diagnose it for 179. I haven't slept in 48 hrs and Ford needs to compensate me for distress. My confidence in the car and experience is on a string.

Enigien light comes on and car will not go above 2k rpms and will not reach 50mph. After the first time I brought the car in to a dealer, after turning the car off they could not get the any codes for 4 days they finally got a code saying its the tps they changed that 2 days later it happened again this time they keep it a week before calling Ford and Ford told them to change the instrument cluster. A repair of 1k. About 90% of Fords have instrument cluster under an extended warranty. But not on my car.

I have taken my vehicle in multiple times due to stuttering and incorrect shifting from my transmission. Each time they say they reset the engine then test it and cant find a problem. A few weeks later my vehicle is acting up again and I repeat the steps. I have finally given up trying to resolve the issue with the dealer and am contacting you directly. I have my two kids in this car and it is frightening to think that I may be driving down the free way and have the transmission just cut out on me. They know it is an issue with this make, model and year as well as an issue with other makes and models. They replaced my brothers focus for a similar issue but refuse to act in regards to my car. I am honestly just sick of it and want my car fixed or replaced.

Bad water pumps and a bad transmission car leaks had water pump replaced and the transmission stalled on me twice trying to leave a parking lot to get on the main highway almost got me hit by another car not happy with the car pump is leaking again and had it replaced 10000 miles ago.

Transmission was shuttering. I was in belief this was a warranty issue as our company has had the same issue with other Fiestas.

Shutter in the transmission , when I took it in they claimed the problem wasn't severe enough for Ford motor to fix the issue. They are aware of the problems in these vehicles but aren't willing to fix it. There is also a class action lawsuit do to the issue. Shutter before car moves in forward psoition every time I drive the vehicle .

My vehicle transmission tends to jerk or shake when braking and coming to a stop or at times when accelerating. You can feel it and even hear it with the window open at times.

The car shutters, delays, and/or jerks when accelerating, more often than not. I have been to Ford on two occasions for them to fix the system settings on the computer in my car, which the recalls claims fixes the issue, however it has only gotten worse. Attached under documentation is information regarding the recall. This happens not only when accelerating from a stop, but even when I just speed up on the highway, which I see to be extremely unsafe and I am nervous driving this vehicle, however Ford claims there is no issue and this is "normal. ".

The car is unsafe to drive! it hesitates when power is expected. It will downshift and cause car to lunge forward while braking! this is uncontrolable!! it lunged into the intersection at a red light (while my foot was on the brake), with cars coming toward me from both sides!! thank god they were all paying attention and had good brakes!! I could have been seriously injured or killed!! this and the hesitating has happened multiple times! I am very nervous every time I drive. Afraid it will cause me to wreck but it is all I have to drive and cannot get anything else while making payments on this one. Otherwise , I would not drive it!! *your form only allows me to enter one date when this happened but it has happened multiple times! just different places and circumstances.

This problem showed up on the first day we picked up this brand new 2015 Ford Fiesta with less than 25 miles on the odo. While we were turning at an intersection as we left the main highway and entered the side street the transmission went into neutral. The rpms went up to over 4000 but the transmission never engaged. The car that was behind us as we were turning had to stop suddenly to keep from hitting us as we coasted off to the side of the road. As the car almost came to a full stop the transmission engaged hard and jumped forward as if I had slammed it into gear. This has happen many more times with my wife, sister and myself as driver. Each time we were almost hit from either oncoming traffic or the vehicles following us.

Ever since I've had my car the transmission feels like its going out it jerks really hard when you press on the gas to try to take off.

Transmission does not shift correctly. Ford refuses to address the issues. This model was proven to have a faulty design. When will there be a recall? before someone gets killed?.

I bought my car in March 2016 and noticed right away when I shift from 1st to 2nd my car seems to stall/shake and I have it in automatic, when I have in the kind of shift that I do it doesn¿t do it. I have contacted the dealership about it and they always tell me there is nothing they can do about it. I have read where others are having the same problem. A friend of mine bought at 2015 Ford focus and hers is doing it as well.

Jerks and sometimes makes bad noise when you press the gas pedal. Happens often.

At a traffic light at about, 11:45 pm. On 10/02/2015 my self and my boyfriend were in my 2015 Ford Fiesta se, with him driving my car, when the light turned green at a major intersection here in phoenix, arizona were we reside, my 2015 Ford Fiesta leached forward as by boyfriend stepped on the gas pedal,and then the engine suddenly revved up very high, and the car moved from the stop line at the inter- section at a fast rate of speed, and next the transmission locked up, causing the car to stop very hard all at once in the middle of the intersection and stall, and our heads , and our body's to be thrown forward at the windshield, but not hitting it, because the seat-belts engaged thank god ! a car was coming behind use and had to serve severely, almost causing that car to roll over as it just missed hitting or right rear bumper, at about 50 miles an hour. My boyfriend then placed the car in park, and pushed the hazard light button on, but the car would not start, it took about 3 times, turning the key, to get it to start again, by the the light s turn green for the traffic in the other direction, and the cars stated to come at ours. My boyfriend, the final got the car started, and again the car leached forward very abruptly, and again jerked very hard again, and stalled once more, that happened about five times. We were able to final get the car to make it enough through the intersection, to stop it in the middle of the road, when a pedestrian waved to use asking to help us move the car from the middle of the road, we put the car in neutral, and pushed it into a walgreens parking lot. And call for Ford emergency roadside assistance. The car then was put on a flat bed trow truck, and take to the Ford dealer were it was purchased from.
