Clutch "A" stuck engaged...loses power and if driven for a while dash lights up saying "transmission is hot wait 5 minutes " In addition to the previous issue, the car will not will not start right away. If you turn the key forward and pull the car down into last gear and back up into park, the car will start most times, otherwise I will have to jump start it.

At intersection making a turn when vehicle wouldn't move forward. Transmission stoped working. Dangerous vehicle position. Signal light changed. Several cars honked horn and had to go around.

The door latch chrome has delaminated and acts like a razor blade severely cutting my finger. This is the second time that this has happened. It occurs when I am opening the door and the chrome detaches from the latch and cuts.

My vehicle tints in the back and passenger front side are staring to warp. This make it difficult to view where I'm turning. I can roll down the passenger window for visibility but can't do this for the back, which sucks. I don't have the funds to have tints redone. What do I do in this situation?

My 2017 Ford Fiesta has a malfunctioning canister purge valve. I am having the same exact problem for which the 2018 Ford Focus cars were recalled. My car is only 2 & 1/2 years old and it is stalling after I fill it up with gas. After filling up at the gas station, it will not start on the first try. It starts on the second, third, or fourth try. The check engine light is on now as well. The dealership says it is not covered by my warranty. I have 56,000 miles on it. This car needs to be recalled. They will not pay for the costly repairs due to their faulty purge control valve. The 2017 Ford Fiestas need to receive the same recall that the 2018 Ford Focus cars did. This is the same problem! (I do not know if the evap system is considered to be under powertrain or fuel/propulsion system.)
