On Friday June 19th, my son and I were making a right turn onto a main street from a parking lot. The car hesitated, then stalled in the middle of traffic. I could have the car idle up. But it wouldn't move. Myself and another guy helped me push the car back into the strip mall parking lot. We almost got hit twice trying to push the car. I had the car towed home. I called my Ford dealership and was told that my car's VIN number was eligible for the 100,000 mile extended warranty. I have less than 100, 000 miles.

On Friday June 19th my son and I were exiting a parking lot of a shopping center. As we were making a right hand turn. The drivetrain in my 2016 Ford Fiesta went out. Leaving us stuck in traffic and nearly getting rear ended. Some other motorist helped us push the car back into the shopping center. I called my Ford dealership and explained the issue. I was told that my v. I. N. Number was not part of the 100,000 mile extended warranty program. Because it came from a different plant. I called Ford customer care, and was told the same thing. Now, I may have to come up with $3,500 to $4,000 to get the transmission fixed.

Transmission malfunction service now.

Ford dealership "fixed" the transmission on 7-24-19 except it's not fixed. At a stop when pressing the gas the car won't move then suddenly launch forward randomly. It also still loses all engine power while driving down the road. These were the same symptoms as before the "fix". This issue has caused a minor accident as well. We got lightly rear ended when a light turned green, we started moving forward and at about 7-10mph we lost all power and the person behind us couldn't stop quick enough. Damage was minor, just some chipped paint but it could have been much worse.

Car stalls, doesn't pick up speed, hesitates to start, engine light is on because the gas valve needs to be replaced. Gas warning comes on when half full. Gas smell throughout car. Has a load humming sound when driving or idled. Jumps when accelerate. I have taken my car to a dealership in saint louis (relocated recently) and they won't touch it.

Takata recall. Every time I put fuel in my car it hesitates. Sometimes it cuts off and sometimes it just shakes and almost cuts off. It hesitates when I don't put fuel in it but it does it worse everytime I put fuel in it. The transmission doesn't change gears sometimes. I have to let it coast to get it to change gears or I have to stop then go. If I yield then go with out completely stopping the transmission won't change gears unless I let it coast until it changes or stop and let it change before I proceed.

Transmission acting up. When I test drove the car in March 2017 I actually questioned the salesperson because I did not feel it was shifting normally - his response was "no this is the new transmission Ford is putting in, the best one there is. " unfortunately my problems did not start right away but after about 18 months. The car occasionally would jump or accelerate while I was stopped at a light or stop sign. I would have to slam on the brake to keep from hitting the car in front of me. On several occasions while driving down the highway the car would accelerate like the cruise control was resetting to a higher speed, again had to use the brakes. Other times it would slow down like it was going to stop and then suddenly go. It is at a point now where it sometimes will not shift and I literally feel like I am in low gear for a minute or two even though I am going 60 mph. I got in it this week and the car would not go into drive. I put it in reverse and it moved, put it back in drive and nothing, put it in reverse again and finally it went into drive. Now it hesitates sometimes when I am at a stop sign and getting ready to resume driving, I have had horns honked at me and gestures made because it takes the car sometimes 2 minutes to go into gear. I have called Ford on a few occasions to try and schedule an appointment with a mechanic but once I tell them what the problem is I am told that it is normal and to not worry about it. I am now upside down in a car financially that is out of warranty and I am afraid to drive so am either looking at having a car repossessed in order to get another one or just letting it set and purchasing a good used car until I can afford to fix this one. I certainly cannot sell it to an individual because of all the publicity about the transmissions, no one would purchase it and I would not want to sell my problem to anyone else.

Since week 1 the car (when at a stop and in gear) if you pressed the accelerator at any level the car would do nothing then after roughly 3-6 seconds it would randomly launch forward. It would also seemingly go into neutral on the highway which led to a complete loss of engine power. This also happens when on a normal road at any speed and is completely random and one time at a red light we began to accelerate then power suddenly cut out and we got rear ended lightly. I told peter's Ford in nashua nh during our 1st 3 oil changes about the issue and was told implicitly that it was completely normal and I shouldn't worry about it as it will just go away on its own. Essentially I was brushed off despite 3 complaints that never led to the dealer checking the car. These issues have been constant since we bought the car brand new in 2016.

The car jerks and shutters when the gas is first pressed from a stop. The transmission has been "fixed" 3 times and still has issues.

My car has less than 50000 miles and already been to the shop due to not starting. It was determined that the battery had a bad cell. Got the battery replaced and all worked fine. 2 months later the same issues are happening again. Will go to the shop this week. Hopefully they van find out what's wrong.

I picked up this new Ford Fiesta 5dr (auto transmission) 9/29/16 & the vehicle now has 1979 miles on odometer. I noticed this transmission issue right after I picked up the car & reported this to the dealer. The car/transmission seems to have a mind of it's own. The dealer at the time could not duplicate the problem & told me when I could duplicate it to return & have it checked; well that's a little hard since the issue is not pre-determined. On 7/12/2017 as I was stopped at a traffic light I realized my side vision was obscured slightly so I thought I would ease up towards the stop line to clear the obstructed view, I took my foot off the brake slightly in an effort to just let the car roll a little until I cleared the obstructed view but instead of my car just rolling it lunged forward & scared the life out of me so I pressed down on the brake to stop the car. There was no one in front of me & luckily no one in back of me either when this happened.

Has a hesitation when you press the gas pedal almost like too much fuel at one time and then all of the sudden it will launch forward. When this happens while turning it will cause you to redirect your steering quickly or you will end up on someone else's side of the road. And when pulling out from stop signs or signal lights is very scary and is a safety concern for me. Not having power when needed is very unsafe for me and the other surrounding drivers.
