Complaint
2011
POWER TRAIN
I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT AS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE 2011 FORD FIESTA WITH THE DUAL-CLUTCH 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION (POWER-SHFIT TRANSMISSION). FORD HAS MADE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE POWER-SHIFT TRANSMISSION IT HAS BUILT IN A JOINT VENTURE WITH GETRAG OF MEXICO. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET RELATING TO THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE CARS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAN GIVE OUT AT ANY TIME COULD BE A DANGER TO THE CONSUMER. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHOWN TO ACT ERRATICALLY WHICH COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO HARM OR EVEN DEATH TO THE CONSUMER. EXAMPLE: I WAS GETTING READY TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN MY 2011 FORD FIESTA WHEN I BARELY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND WAS WHISKED AT BREAKNECK SPEED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO GRASP WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BEFORE I WENT OUT ONTO THE STREET. I ACTUALLY SAID TO MYSELF OUT LOUD "WHOA, WHAT WAS THAT". THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY BUT COULD HAVE HAPPENED OUT ON THE ROAD, IN A CROWDED PARKING LOT, ANY NUMBER OF OTHER PLACES WHERE THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN HORRIFIC. WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER TOYOTA FIASCO ON OUR HANDS. FORD IS TRYING TO COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO KEEP THE PROBLEMS UNDER WRAPS. THIS COULD BE A HUGE FINANCIAL BLOW TO FORD CORPORATION AND I KNOW THEIR PRIORITY IS TO THEIR STOCK HOLDERS. MY PRIORITY IS TO THE CONSUMER WHO MAY BE PUT IN HARMS WAY BY FORD'S GREED. I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE TO DIE BECAUSE FORD WANTS TO KEEP THIS ALL HUSH HUSH UNTIL THEY CAN FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. DO NOT DROP THE BALL ON THIS ONE. LET'S TRY FOR ONCE TO NIP SOMETHING IN THE BUD BEFORE SOMEONE HAS TO DIE. AS I SAID ABOVE, WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER TOYOTA FIASCO. THANK YOU.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY FORD FIESTA 2013 HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH SHUDDERING, LUNGING, JERKING, AND FAILING TO ENGAGE GEAR SHIFTS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL FORD DEALERS AND SERVICEMEN THAT I NEED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IF IT WERE A STICKSHIFT AND HESITATION BETWEEN GEAR SHIFTS IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. A FORD DEALER HOOKED UP A LAPTOP AND RESET THE VEHICLE TO TSB 13-4-5 "INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER DPS6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION". THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED, SO I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY; COMPLAINT #2989023. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO BRING THE CAR TO A DEALER AND THEY NEED PROOF THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID I NEED TO BE DRIVING THE CAR WHILE FAULTS ARE DOCUMENTED BECAUSE THE CAR HAS AN ADAPTIVE LEARNING PROGRAM THAT RESPONDS TO THE DRIVER'S ACTIONS. I BROUGH THE CAR TO SCHAUMBURGH FORD IN ILLINOIS. THE SERVICE DIRECTOR TEST DROVE THE CAR WHILE I WAS IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT. HE SAID HE DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY FAULTS WITH THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THERE WAS ONE INSTANCE AS WE WERE RETURNING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THAT THE CAR SHUDDERED. THE DEALER TOOK THE CAR FOR THE AFTERNOON 8/29/2013 AND SAID HE RESET THE CAR AGAIN FOR TSB 13-4-5 UPDATE ALTHOUGH THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A RECEIPT OF WORK THAT WAS DONE. ON THE MORNING OF 8/30/2013 THE CAR EXPERIENCED OVERHEATING AND BURNING UNDER THE HOOD. A SERVICE PERSON FROM THE SCHAUMBER FORD DEALERSHIP IN ILLINOIS MET TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR DUE TO THE WEEKEND SCHEDULE. THE ISSUE IS STILL BEING ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER AT THIS TIME.
