THIS PROBLEM SHOWED UP ON THE FIRST DAY WE PICKED UP THIS BRAND NEW 2015 FORD FIESTA WITH LESS THAN 25 MILES ON THE ODO. WHILE WE WERE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AS WE LEFT THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND ENTERED THE SIDE STREET THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE RPMS WENT UP TO OVER 4000 BUT THE TRANSMISSION NEVER ENGAGED. THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND US AS WE WERE TURNING HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY TO KEEP FROM HITTING US AS WE COASTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS THE CAR ALMOST CAME TO A FULL STOP THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED HARD AND JUMPED FORWARD AS IF I HAD SLAMMED IT INTO GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPEN MANY MORE TIMES WITH MY WIFE, SISTER AND MYSELF AS DRIVER. EACH TIME WE WERE ALMOST HIT FROM EITHER ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR THE VEHICLES FOLLOWING US.

THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD HAPPEN IN BOTH CITY AND INTERSTATE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE AND I WOULD JUST BARELY BE ABLE TO GET ON TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IN 70 MPH TRAFFIC. STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE WOULD ALLOW NORMAL OPERATION FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. THE PROBLEM WOULD THEN OCCUR AGAIN. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A BAD THROTTLE BODY WITH A CODE OF P2011. I'VE READ THAT FORD HAS A HISTORY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE BODIES. IT SEEMS THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUE ON NEWER MODELS.

SHORTLY AFTER HAVING THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED BEING JUMPY, LOSING POWER AT TAKE OFF AND ACTING LIKE IT WILL STALL OUT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS FOR FORD DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT. DID SUCEED WITH ONE OF THE ATTEMPTS AND THEY SAID THEY RESET COMPUTER. THAT DID NOT WORK. THE OTHER TIMES THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIX AND THEY ARE WORKING ON FINDING A SOLUTION TO FIX. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IN AND THEY TELL ME NOW IT IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT HALF OF WHAT WE BOUGHT A YEAR AGO. MY FAMILY FEELS VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR AND VERY DISSATISFIED WITH ASHEVILLE FORD.
