Fiesta SE 1.6L

  • Manual transmission
  • 39,055 miles

I have to say that I didn't know it was leaking, but the dealership knew and said they informed me. The advisor never spoke to me about a transmission leak, never, but that isn't about the car so I'll spare the details, and just add this, stay away from Ford of Orange's service department, they lie.

Leaks oil from transmission most likely - I had that problem fixed under warranty in the past and now it came back - sucks - will require removal of transmission - so lots of money - no more warranty...

Fiesta SE

  • Manual transmission

leak at the drive shaft input (driver side), and from under the plastic cover - sucks

Update from Nov 10, 2015: so I exchanged the seal - it required to remove the driving axle and some new transmission oil

problem #3

Fiesta SE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 66,000 miles

bought this car with an extended warranty of 60000 miles. front seal of transmission is blowing fluid clear to the freaking back windshield! Vehicle only has 65000 miles! I complained to Ford customer care and they originally told me it was covered under my powertrain warranty.Then after it is towed to the dealer on customer cares recommendation after 2 different Ford customer care people told me the repair was covered my dealer calls me and informs me that the repair is not covered.The real kicker here is that even though they admit they were wrong Ford Customer Care refused to have my car towed away from the shop and back home. I never expected to be treated so shoddily by Ford .This was my 8th Ford vehicle out of 13 vehicles i have owned in my lifetime and it will be my last. the message i got from Ford was that once they have squeezed you for all the money they can get they throw you to the wolves .My next vehicle will be an import

Got first oil change done by dealer's service department and second oil change done by independent shop. They said there was a leak. It took Ford a week to find the leek and two weeks to get it fixed.
