The car constantly surges forward at dangerous speeds and won't slow down even when slamming on the brakes. This has happened over the years but is happening much more in the past year. This is a very dangerous problem. There were several occasions when I narrowly missed slamming into the car in front of me. I've also been thrust into a busy intersection. You must force Ford to recall and replace these dangerous dps6 transmissions before someone dies. They and you have known about this problem for many years and have been putting more than a million car owners and others at risk. Please do something now! while it has been happening over the years, the most recent near collision was in a busy intersection in Chicago on July 8, 2019. Thank you. The transmission failure warning has gone on numerous times over the years and causes the car to slow to 5 mph until the computer is reset.

The vehicles transmission abruptly down shifted while driving at a high speed. I almost was rear ended had I not moved aside. This has happened twice. There have been numerous reports of faulty transmission and electrical problems where it stems from. I was a die hard Ford owner until Ford refuses to repair the issue. Maintenance has always been on time, and not just oil changes.

Transmission not working. Took to dealer said extended to tcm would be covered but not malfunctioning. Clutch and internal assembly is failing.class action lawsuit and dealer suggested me to call Ford. This is riduculous. Car has actually been parked for 3 months because we were afraid to drive. Afaid I will be in an accident if I drive this car and I will hold Ford fully responsible if this happens. I am considering looking for an attorney

Excessive "shuddering" in dual-clutch transmission when pulling away from a stop. This is a widely-known design defect, but Ford has not done enough to help affected customers. Every Ford technician openly acknowledges that it's a design flaw, and they know how to fix it. This is a safety issue since the car can stop dead in its tracks on a highway when the clutch fails. A recall is warranted.

From the time of purchase, this vehicle has experienced issues at the time of acceleration after being stationary. Due to this condition, the vehicle has been called back by the manufacturer, Ford Motor Company, for a software update various times. However, after a short amount of time, the vehicle starts experiencing the same jerky acceleration issue again. During the time I used the vehicle while living in Florida, this condition was not worrisome as orlando, fl is a flat terrain. However, since moving to the city of atlanta, Georgia I encounter many intersections located in hills, for example the intersection of beech haven trail and cumberland pkwy SE; when at the time of acceleration before turning, the vehicle jerks and does not immediately accelerate, putting my life at risk, since I can easily be crashed into by the incoming traffic due to the delay. Even though I have owned this vehicle for years, I have not been satisfied since this defect has been present from the time the vehicle was new and has not been fixed after various visits to the dealership. With this note I record the state of the vehicle, like I mentioned previously, puts my life at risk.

"takata recall" out of the blue, my car wouldn't go into reverse anymore. I took it to a place to have it put on the machine, and the report came back that it was my clutch fork and clutch position B, that needed to be looked at and checked. When I started calling around to different car shops, I was told there was a recall my exact same 2011 Ford Fiesta and that the recall was dealing with the same troubles I'm having. My car only has 64,000 miles on it.

I have two issues on my car. The first and most concerning one to me is jittering in the drivetrain up front when taking off. Feels like its slipping in between gears. While dking this it sounds like metal components rolling close to each other as if there were some slop allowing them to float around some. Thats all as far as drivetrain. My second issue is the front passenger side wheel area on certain bumps feels and sounds like a strutt or shock has wear on it and allowing it to make frequent thumping noises while going over these bumps. Quite often with worn roads where I reside. Other than these issues its been a really good gas saving car. Thank you for your time.

The car shakes and shutters. Rough when shifting. The speed will quickly change sometimes has problems starting. Not safe to drive. Ford dealership near where I live says it is the clutch and wants $1500 just to figure out exactly what is wrong. They highly suggest replacing whole transmission $5700 because if they fix one part and another breaks it will cost $1500 just to take apart again. Crazy because it has only 91000 miles and is only worth $4500. Help I don't have this kind of money for fixing this unsafe car

The transmission has been shuttering, stalling and jerking irraticly while in motion, on the street/ highway sometimes rolls backward and forward on reverse have notified manufacture they won't help put in shop replaced transmission cost 1700 and the problem still exists but worse now when turning jerks and shakes and is leaking tried to get it fixed again no mechanic will do the work plus now my warranty is expired and I can no longer afford repairs. This will be the third attempt on repairing the vehicle transmission. This car is very dangerous to be driving on the road can cause many accidents due to power train malfunction. Ford and other mechanics don't want to do the work to repair the car plus all models transmissions are faulty regardless if it gets replaced. Car needs to be recalled!!

Transmission will not change gears. Ford has extended warranty but it expires at 100000 miles. Its a know problem with Ford Fiesta and Focus during a few years that Ford has not addressed. Car was parked and as I started driving it was jerky and gears would not shift correctly. Problem is not constant. It comes and goes.

My husband and I bought a car from them. It is in my husbands name. My husband is not from this country and doesn't know what things mean in their context. This car was sold to us as is with a branded title. We accepted that. However, the car was sold to us with broken parts and the repairs that were done to it were not done to standard oem specifications. The car was sold to us with a broken front axel. This is a major safety issue because had this completely broken going down the road and we were in a wreck that would have been bad. The car is not fixed at this time and they refuse to fix it due to the papers that were signed by my husband that of which I am sure he didn't know what he was signing being someone who has never bought a car before. I do T feel that this car lot should be allowed to sell the car in this condition even as is. Please let me know if we have any rights here. Thank you!

- Renton, WA, USA

I've only owned my Fiesta for 2 years and now my car won't move when I am in drive or reverse as I step on the gas peddle to accelerate. Before this, my car would jerk forward when I would go to accelerate and act as if it was going to stall out in the middle of traffic. I've taken it to Ford before to get the recalls fixed because my passenger door swung open while I was driving and they fixed the transmission and clutch recall but now I'm having problems again.

I was driving to work on the highway, it was slow traffic, and upon slowing down, I felt a lurch and a high pitch. The car continued to drive, and upon arriving to work a few minutes away, the car began to smell bad. I parked and turned the car off. I turned the car on again and it would not change gears. I had to get my car towed. The car is currently at a mechanic, and he sublet the job to a Ford tech who is now saying that the transmission blew up. So now a transmission, trans computer, clutches, and fork have to be replaced and they are charging $5250 for the job. The car showed nothing wrong aside from the weird lurch. There was no check engine light, no trouble codes. The only thing I saw was after parking the car and turning it back on, a popup flashed on the screen saying transmission malfunction.

My son was almost killed over the holiday weekend when his vehicle power went down to around 35 in a 55 mph zone and would not get over the 35mph. This is the fourth time this has happened, but the closest time he has come to losing his life by being hit. We called Ford and they said someone would call back as we have seen a recurring them of people having the same issues as reported on the internet but Ford has not been responsive and it has been almost two months. He is to afraid to drive the car any longer so it just sits unuseable in my driveway.
