| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | WHEN I FIRST DROVE THE CAR IT WAS SO SMOOTH AND QUIET; BUT THAT DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK A HEARD A GRINDING NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE CAR BEGAN STUTTERING WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THE GRINDING NOISE BEGAN TO GET WORSE AS THE WEEK WENT ON. I HEAR IT WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN, AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL AND DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. I TOOK IT THAT EXACT SAME DAY TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE IT WAS STILL MAKING THE EXACT SAME GRINDING SOUND. THE MECHANIC THERE TEST-DROVE IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS NOT NORMAL TO BE HEARING THAT SOUND. HE SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. I READ ONLINE ABOUT MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FIESTA TRANSMISSION; AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT FORD IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. A SOUND LIKE THAT AND STUTTERING DOES NOT LEAVE ME TO FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING. *TR |
