| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | I'VE EXPERIENCED MY NEW FORD FIESTA 2013 SHUDDERING, SHAKING, AND CHUGGING. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M ON A HILL STOPPED AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC AND IT ACTS LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE ON THE HILL AFTER STOPPING, THE VEHICLE ALMOST SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I PURCHASED IT FROM ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. BOTH TIMES, THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS IT SHOULD AND THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. I CAN'T RELY ON THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN AFRAID OF MY SAFETY TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE I KNOW IT WON'T PERFORM. *TR |
| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | 2013 FORD FIESTA BOUGHT 11/23/12. PROBLEMS WITHIN 4 DAYS; IT'S DEFINITELY A DEATH TRAP. TO REPAIR SHOP 11/27/12, 11/30/12, 12/12/12 & 03/27/13 FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. INITIALLY STARTED HEARING A BUZZING FROM RIGHT SIDE OF MOTOR & SMELLING SOMETHING HOT LIKE RUBBER BURNING. THE ORIGINAL PROBLEMS WERE JOINED WITH A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR (LOUDEST BETWEEN 32 & 42 MPH), IT BEGAN TO HESITATE, SHUTTER, STALL, LURCH, NOT MOVE FORWARD UNTIL HIGH RPMS REACHED & THEN IT SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD. DIFFICULTY PULLING STEEP HILLS/DRIVEWAYS & DOESN'T REVERSE AT TIMES. WE'VE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED & BROADSIDED ON MORE THAN ONCE; I ALMOST REAR-ENDED SOMEONE ELSE. CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM ON INTERSTATE COULD HAVE GOTTEN MY FAMILY KILLED; TAPPED BRAKES TO DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL AS I WAS BEING PASSED ON ONE SIDE & WAS APPROACHING A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. I PULLED TO THE LEFT LANE & PROCEEDED PAST THE SLOWER VEHICLE BUILDING MY SPEED BACK UP TO 70; I PUSHED THE RESUME BUTTON & SUDDENLY THE CAR'S SPEED DROPPED DRASTICALLY & THEN JUMPED BACK UP CAUSING THE RPMS TO REV VERY HIGH BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME; IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE OTHER LANE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY A SEMI-TRUCK. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DEVELOP MORE PROBLEMS EACH DAY. IN APRIL 2013, THE CAR WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL STORE LOT. MY SON HAD JUST ENTERED THE CAR & I WAS GETTING IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I HAD JUST GOT MY BUTT ON THE SEAT & MY RIGHT LEG IN THE CAR WHEN I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE, THEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD; I IMMEDIATELY JERKED MY LEFT LEG IN & INSTINCTIVELY PRESSED THE BRAKE & REACHED FOR THE GEAR SHIFT THINKING I FORGOT IT IN GEAR BUT TO MY SURPRISE IT WAS IN PARK. NOW I ALWAYS PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE & AT HOME FOR ADDED SAFETY I PUT A BLOCK IN FRONT OF THE TIRE ALSO. *TR |
