I am remembering one incident I had years ago. It was my first year since I got my first driver license. I parked my car. While I was getting off with half of my body already outside the car, my car started moving forward. I jumped back in a car in a shock and tried to stop the car. I realized that I had not removed my car key. I also realized that a stick shift was in neutral position. I told myself that it was my wrong-doing, but after reading numerous complaints and lawsuits against Ford Fiesta over the last years, I am not so sure if it was my fault or the car's defect. It happened only once and can not reproduce this. Around the same time, I have also experienced car not starting several times but again I told myself I am just an idiot for not knowing how to start a car. I did Pre-Purchase Car Inspection in October 2016. The inspection report noted that my car had Engine Lights on with code U0131 and codeC0051. I received a CSP14M02 letter last Sunday and went to the dealership on Monday for TCM repair or replacement, but I was turned away.

MY 2014 FORD FIESTA HAS A MANUEL CLUTCH THAT HAS MALFUNCTIONED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN SEPTEMBER, 2013. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES STALL OUT AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD NOT PROPERLY GO INTO GEAR. I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE TO GET IT INTO GEAR. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE CLUTCH HAS CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION OCCASIONALLY UP UNTIL THE LAST 6 MONTHS. NOW IT HAS BECOME DANGEROUS. THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR PROPERLY MOST OF THE TIME. WHILE RUNNING, THE CLUTCH WILL KEEP PULLING EVEN THOUGH IT IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC AND ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE IT KEPT PULLING. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO STOP THE PULLING. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS OF ANY KIND PRIOR TO THE FAILURE OR DURING THE FAILURE. THIS IS PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS AT RISK. I ONLY HAVE 94,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BY FORD. IT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED AS OF NOW.
