Absolutely disgusted with Ford. Been a loyal Ford owner for years and have always received outstanding products. I had heard the Fiesta had problems with the automatic transmission but I have the 6 speed manual so I thought I wouldn't have any issues. When I bought the car brand new in late September it was a dealer swap. The rear passenger door handle came from the factory unfinished. Dealer tried painting it but ended up replacing the handle by swapping it out with a standard Fiesta on the lot. Then the driver's seat started horribly creaking and squeaking when I would go over a bump or get in and out of the car. It even creaked if I shifted my weight ever so slightly. Any slight movement and Creeeeak! The dealer tried replacing the seat track and that didn't solve it, so perhaps it is the seat back frame that is defective. I want a brand new seat from Ford and I shouldn't have to pull teeth to get it. If this problem is not fixed after one more attempt I will invoke my state's lemon law and Ford can take the car and shove it! All these problems and the car has under 3,000 miles! Top of the line Fiesta and I paid 22,000 dollars for it. Makes me physically I'll to think about it.
