I purchased my 2013 Fiesta new off the car lot. It was the biggest mistake ever. It has been in the repair shop twice for clutch replacements. I was in an accident the last time because it hesitated and then took off and ran in to the car in front of me. Ford didn't care about the accident. I had to argue with them to get a car to drive while they fixed my car yet again. It has again started hesitating and then excelling quickly and I don't know what to do anymore. I bought a new car for reliability and this is far from reliable. It is very very loud also.
