Transmission had been slipping and vibrating while driving was repaired under extended warranty since I was at 36,000 miles. A week later the front axle fell apart while driving in motion due to a faulty bolt.

Problems with car stuck in park and not starting vehicle was stationary, have been stuck twice for same thing

- Walden, NY, USA

Car stalled in middle of an intersection. The lights and all warning buzzers started to flash then the car locked up and I was stuck in the car and couldn't get out. The tow truck driver had to jimmy stick the door to get me out, the dealer found that the tcm transmission module was at fault, and was replaced, the car was extremely unreliable after this repair. Ford refuses to repair the vehicle even though the car is under full factory warranty. They are refusing to acknowledge a serious issue exists. I keep bringing the car to dealerships and Ford won't authorize needed repairs. I could have been killed in this last issue.

The car shutters in between gears when accelerating. It has been "fixed" by the recall 4 times but continues to have this problem. Ford says I teach my car bad habits by slowly accelerating. How do they expect me to drive in rush hour traffic? I'm worried I'm going to hit someone. They refuse to write me a slip for getting my tcm updated. I attached a picture of the only documentation they give me.

- Brooklyn, NY, USA

I was driving in the highway and the lights on my car started flickering and then the hill start assist came on. My car will not shift properly and states transmission malfunction. The tcm was installed less than 1 year ago on a recall notice. I'm afraid to drive my car now because I'm not sure what's going to happen next. What's the warranty on this part?

- Venice, FL, USA

I had both recalls regarding the computer module reprogramming performed (#14M02 and #15B22) but my car still experiences sputtering between gears. Took the car in for another recall regarding the door latches on 7/10/17 and during the transmission check, my Ford service representative told me that I had a faulty dual clutch failed and that it needed to be replaced. Cost of replacement is over $2000 at all american Ford in hackensack so due to the expensive financial burden, I unfortunately declined to have the service performed to replace the dual clutch shudder. According to this article from a local news station in North Carolina (wlos.com/news/news-13-investigates/Ford-sued-over-faulty-transmissions-in-some-Focus-Fiestas) "in 2014, Ford extended the powertrain warranty on the vehicles from 5 years and 60,000 miles to 7 years and 100,000 miles to cover the clutch shudder but only on cars built before June of 2013." Unfortunately, my car was assembled after that time. I mentioned this to my Ford service representative upon pickup of my vehicle and he acknowledged and admitted that the transmission in Fiestas in 2014 are the same and that Ford probably should issue a recall vehicles made after June of 2013. Ford should do the right thing and extend the warranties to all 2014 Ford Fiestas just as they did for Fiestas and focuses made before June 2013.

When I try to accelerate my car shudders. When I go from the brakes and try the gas pedal my car jerks and has issues accelerating. I have been to the dealership several times for this problem all they do is reprogram. It is good for 2-3 days then goes back to jerking and shuddering. These problems occur most when I'm pulling out of driveways and partying lots from a stopped position trying to increase speed. I have had a few close calls because my car has problems speeding up when I'm on the expressway too. I got the car used at 20000 miles. The dealership when I brought it in for the first time in November 2016 told me it was normal for my car to have transmission problems. After several visits the problem was never fixed.

- Mcallen, TX, USA

The condition the car presents is a safety hazard because they severely affect the driver's ability to control the car's speed, acceleration and deceleration. I was also not informed or notified of this defect on the car.

- Auburn, IN, USA

Dangerous potentially deadly transmission...the car shudders and bucks as well as makes a loud noise when taking off from a standing start; coming to a stop; making a turn; merging into traffic...this happens on town streets, city streets and highways...it is really awful...only a question of time before the car doesn't make it and someone plows into us...I fear for my life whenever I drive anywhere...the car couldn't have been more than two months old before the problem reared its ugly head...the car was bought October 31, 2013...

- Fulsom, LA, USA

Vehicle stationary in driveway. Completely dead, no lights, power, nothing. Vehicle has been to dealer 5 times for same issue. First time had only 1,364 miles. Dealer has no fix. Recharges battery and returns to me. Case opened with Ford, they will not buy back vehicle. Resolution from Ford each time: Bring back to dealer every time it happens for battery recharge. Tcm module replaced. Did not fix problem.

- Norton, MA, USA

The car started not accelerating when gas was pushed, delayed then caught and jerked like transmission was bad, also the gas milage got worse after owning a little over a year. Almost hit by semi-truck getting on the interstate because car wouldn't accelerate! in town, at lights, would jerk when at a stop or at take off, almost causing people behind or front of me to hit me. Took it to one local dealer, said they adjusted the (tcm) transmission control module and in about 1000 miles it would be corrected and we should see better gas milage and no jerking or issues with acceleration.. didn't happen, took to a different Ford dealer near us, they said no parts to fix it. One month later called them back about part, and they said "no known fix from Ford at this time". they said we could just leave the car with them if we didn't feel safe driving it, they would add it to 3 other ones out back!!!. took the car back to our original dealer bought it from and they offered no apology and said we could trade it on another one of their cars.. no thanks. Highly disappointed in Ford... thought they were much better company. Safety apparently not an issue with them.. I called Ford corporate and opened a case number on the issue, only to have my case closed within one day because they deemed the car "within working parameters" after saying they discussed it with the dealers we took it to for repair. When I asked what that meant, they said couldn't tell me because it was Ford confidential information!. now no one at Ford Corp. Will return my calls, or the dealer I took the car back too. Lost all contact with Ford at this point. Seeking a lawyer to see options on how to salvage some issue that will hit my credit rating, since I basically won't be making payments on it anymore and gave it back to the dealer. Shame on Ford!!!!!! selling cars they know have an issue....

My car surges forward almost squealing tires, it makes noise it clunks out at stop feels like my tranny is going to drop and doesn't shift correctly. Transmission is obviously in safe I am afraid I am going to hit someone from behind the way it surges at times it also sputters and moves down hill when stopped drags when driving up hill. I had to take it in they replaced modular and tranny seal. But it still happens.

- Wisconsin Dells, WI, USA

My vehicle starts shrugging & shivering when I push on the gas pedal. The shiver is at times too hard to control and can't Focus on driving. This has been the fourth time with the same clutch issue and the dealer says I got to live with the problem until they get a new clutch ordered which is 21 weeks from now. I have a kid at the back seat and not comfortable to drive.
