| 2012 | POWER TRAIN | OCTOBER 24, 2012 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. I ACCELERATED VERY GINGERLY (THE POWERSHIFT IS EFFECTIVELY TWO THREE SPEED MANUALS SO YOU CAN'T JUST JAB IT) TO PASS. THE CAR GEARED INTO A LOWER GEAR AS EXPECTED AND THE ENGINE RPM'S SPIKED AS EXPECTED. THE LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION WAS TURNING RED SO I BRAKED EASILY TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. AT THIS POINT THE CAR WAS HOLDING THE LOWER GEAR AND REVVING OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR (AS IT WAS TRYING TO OVERPOWER THE BRAKES) AND PLACE IT INTO NEUTRAL WHICH STOPPED THE PROBLEM. THE CAR THEN DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. I RESTARTED THE CAR. AS I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE, I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION GEARED DOWN AGAIN. THE PROBLEM REPEATED. I TRIED PLACING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AGAIN, HOWEVER, THIS DID NOTHING. I CUT THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY AT 50 MPH. MY STEERING GOT REALLY HEAVY. I USED THE BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR AND STRONG ARM THE WHEEL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION IS JUNK AND THE DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING MANY PARTS INCLUDING A COUPLE CLUTCHES (IT ONLY HAS TWO I BELIEVE) AND SOME OTHER INTERNALS. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. IT ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO COMMANDS FROM THE GEAR SELECTOR. I POWERED OFF THE CAR TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT. *TR |
| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | AFTER A LONG BATTLE WITH THE DEALERSHIP OVER A PREVIOUS DEATH TRAP[USED] THE OWNER AGREED TO RECTIFY THAT ISSUE WITH A BRAND NEW 2013 FORD FIESTA.THAT WAS A GREAT THOUGHT TILL THE FIRST ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON,THEY FOUND NO REASON EXCEPT THE GAS TANK HAS NO CAP.I WAS TOLD THIS IS DIRT AROUND THE SEAL AND IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING UNLESS I BUY MY OWN CAP. WELL IT WASN'T LONG AND MY CAR STARTED SPITTING MISSING HESITATING,ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON I TAKE IT BACK IN THEY BELIEVE THERE IS A PINHOLE IN MY GAS LINE.THEY KEEP MY CAR FOR A WEEK THEY DID SUPPLY A LOANER NOT A FIESTA !!!! I TOLD THEM OF THE ISSUES BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING.NOW A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I TOOK IT BACK FOR THESE ISSUES I HAD POINTED OUT TO THEM PREVIOUSLY.I HAD THE SERVICE PERSON RIDE ALONG HE FELT AA OF THE ISSUES HEARD ALL OF THE SOUNDS THE GRINDING ,REVVING.I AM SO AFRAID IN THIS CAR GETTING ON AND OFF RAMPS IT DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE GEARS ARE REVERSING.I CANNOT PASS ANYONE,I LIVE IN A HIGHLY TRAVELED AREA FOR TOURISTS WHO DON'T DRIVE THE SAME AS LOCALS ON SINGLE LANE ROADS.A BRAND NEW CAR ISNT SUPPOSE TO MAKE YOU FEEL THAT YOU WERE BETTER OFF NOT HAVING A CAR. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED ...YOU DONT TAKE SHORTCUTS OR RUSH A PRODUCT THAT CAN BADLY AFFECT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. I WANT OUT OF MY CONTRACT I OWE MORE THAN THIS CAR IS WORTH,I DO BLAME THE DEALER ALSO FOR CONTINUING TO SELL THIS DEATH TRAP. JUST SAYING ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND IF ANYONE WHO HAS MADE THIS COMPLAINT ENDS UP IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THESE OBVIOUS ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF FORD ,DEALERSHIPS AND THE NATIONAL SAFETY BOARD I HOPE THESE FAMILIES SUE YOUR PANTS OFF. FORCING YOU OUT OF BUSINESS.UNLESS YOU RECTIFY EACH PERSONS INDIVIDUAL SITUATION AND NOT A GENERAC BRUSHOFF.BEEN THERE DONE THAT.GET ON THE BALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW! *TR |
