JERKS AND SOMETIMES MAKES BAD NOISE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. HAPPENS OFTEN.

MY AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR HAS ILLUMINATED AND HAS STAYED ON FOR TWO DAYS NOW. THERE ARE ALSO STRANGE NOISES COMING FROM THE AREA BEHIND MY STEERING WHEEL.

CAR LUNGES FORWARD WHILE STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS. WHILE ON A HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC RPMS REMAINED HIGH AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT FOR APPROXIMATELY A MILE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT UP AND JUST DOESN'T GO. ROLLS BACKWARDS DOWN HILLS WHILE TRYING TO GO FORWARD AND MAKES A CLICKING SOUND. CAR HAS A REALLY BAD SHUTTER WHEN ROUNDING CURVES AND TURNING CORNERS AND OCCASIONALLY FOLLOWS WITH THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING. HAS BEEN TO FORD TO BE CHECKED ONCE ALREADY AND WAS TOLD IT HAD NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND HAS A SECOND APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 9 MONTHS AND HAVE PUT LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT. SOMETIMES THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL OUT WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT UP. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED CAN HEAR CLICKING IN TRANSMISSION AS IT ROCKS EXCESSIVELY ON LEVEL GROUND. CAR ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE NO POWER WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP AND HAS ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS.

THIS PROBLEM INITIALLY SURFACED WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE AND SOMETIMES STALL COMPLETELY, WHILE AT A STOP AND WITH THE ENGINE IDLING. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE A FAULTY EVAPORATION CANISTER PURGE VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL I ADDED TO THE TANK DID NOT SEEM TO MATTER AS EACH TIME I DID SO, THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE OR STALL WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES FOLLOWING THE FILL-UP. ONCE THE STUMBLING OR STALL HAD OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT ISSUE (OR UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE) UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I WOULD NEED TO ADD FUEL. THE STUMBLING AND STALLING WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS IT TENDED TO OCCUR AS I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT A BUSY INTERSECTION OR ON-RAMP.

TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2015 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK AND RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER THE PARKING DIVIDER. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE WHERE IT WAS TOWED TO THE RENTAL COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,300.

AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT ABOUT, 11:45 PM. ON 10/02/2015 MY SELF AND MY BOYFRIEND WERE IN MY 2015 FORD FIESTA SE, WITH HIM DRIVING MY CAR, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION HERE IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA WERE WE RESIDE, MY 2015 FORD FIESTA LEACHED FORWARD AS BY BOYFRIEND STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL,AND THEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP VERY HIGH, AND THE CAR MOVED FROM THE STOP LINE AT THE INTER- SECTION AT A FAST RATE OF SPEED, AND NEXT THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP VERY HARD ALL AT ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND STALL, AND OUR HEADS , AND OUR BODY'S TO BE THROWN FORWARD AT THE WINDSHIELD, BUT NOT HITTING IT, BECAUSE THE SEAT-BELTS ENGAGED THANK GOD ! A CAR WAS COMING BEHIND USE AND HAD TO SERVE SEVERELY, ALMOST CAUSING THAT CAR TO ROLL OVER AS IT JUST MISSED HITTING OR RIGHT REAR BUMPER, AT ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR. MY BOYFRIEND THEN PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, AND PUSHED THE HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON ON, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START, IT TOOK ABOUT 3 TIMES, TURNING THE KEY, TO GET IT TO START AGAIN, BY THE THE LIGHT S TURN GREEN FOR THE TRAFFIC IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, AND THE CARS STATED TO COME AT OURS. MY BOYFRIEND, THE FINAL GOT THE CAR STARTED, AND AGAIN THE CAR LEACHED FORWARD VERY ABRUPTLY, AND AGAIN JERKED VERY HARD AGAIN, AND STALLED ONCE MORE, THAT HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE TIMES. WE WERE ABLE TO FINAL GET THE CAR TO MAKE IT ENOUGH THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, TO STOP IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WHEN A PEDESTRIAN WAVED TO USE ASKING TO HELP US MOVE THE CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND PUSHED IT INTO A WALGREENS PARKING LOT. AND CALL FOR FORD EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE CAR THEN WAS PUT ON A FLAT BED TROW TRUCK, AND TAKE TO THE FORD DEALER WERE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM.
