2013 FORD FIESTA Complaints

BOUGHT MY FIESTA NEW OFF OF THE LOT IN 2013. TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN LOUD. CALLED SERVICE CENTER TO REPORT AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION I HAD. STARTING AT ABOUT 15000 MILES, CAR STARTED TO HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO GO INTO 1ST GEAR. ALSO CAR SPUTTERS IF TRYING TO PICK UP SPEED FOR PASSING. *TR

I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, STARTED TO MOVE MY FOOT TO STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. THE LURCH WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO GO OVER A SPEED BUMP. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR (IT HAD GONE APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET). I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD OUT OF THE AREA. IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN YESTERDAY BUT I WAS PREPARED FOR IT AND SLAMMED DOWN ON THE BRAKE STOPPING IT. REVERSE IS A LONG WAY FROM DRIVE SO I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS HAPPENING. I HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR EARLIER BECAUSE OF THE LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT SIDE, FIRST THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CABLE THEN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. ALSO THE CAR ROLLS BACK ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE OR YOU WILL HIT THE CAR BEHIND YOU. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO BE OPERATING CORRECTLY, SLIPPING OR SOMETHING. I NOW HAVE A NOTE IN THE CAR AND WHENEVER I PUT IT INTO REVERSE I AM MONITORING IT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING AND AT WHAT POINT. IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THE FIRST TIME THAT I WAS MORE IN SHOCK THAN ANYTHING ELSE AND JUST RELIEVED THAT I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT AND THAT IT CAUSED NO DAMAGE TO ANYONE OR ANYTHING, EVEN THE CAR ITSELF.

CLOSED DOOR AND DOOR BOUNCED BACK. LOCKING MECHANISM HAS BROKEN TWICE ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BOUGHT A 2013 FORD FIESTA BRAND NEW AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH IT. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GETTING CAUGHT WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND THEN WHEN IT DOES ACCELERATE IT JERKS, AND GRINDS AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER NOISES. WHEN I AM IN STOP-GO TRAFFIC IT FEELS LIKE IT IS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN AND AT POINTS I AM BEING JERKED IN MY SEAT ALONG WITH THE CAR. GOING UP A HILL IS THE WORST OF ALL BECAUSE IT MAKES NOISES AND SOUNDS/FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL- SOMETIMES JUST TRYING TO GET UP A HILL FEELS LIKE I AM TRYING TO DRIVE THROUGH THICK MUD. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NOTHING. ONE TIME THE LADY WHO WAS SCHEDULING THE APPOINTMENT TOLD ME THAT HER CAR DOES IT BUT IT IS NORMAL AND SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO GET USED TO BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I GET MY SHEET BACK AFTER I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP THEY BARELY AND VAGUELY ACKNOWLEDGE HOW THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEM AND STATE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT IS NORMAL TO BE APPREHENSIVE WHEN DRIVING YOUR BRAND NEW CAR BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN TIME TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

TOOK MY CAR IN BEGINNING OF FEB 2014 THAT IS WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE A CAR FOR ME. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE CLUTCH IN TRANSMISSION.. DAYS LATER IT STARTED MAKING THE GRINDING RUBBING NOISE ON MY WAY TO RICH'S AUTO FOR THEM TO CHECK MY CAR. THEY TEST DROVE MY CAR DEFINITELY MAKING NOISE AS CAR IS SHIFTING, I LEFT THERE WENT TO THE STORE THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD THAT I FELT LUCKY TO GET HOME. FORD CO SERVICE REP FOR MY AREA MAKES AN APPT FOR A WEEK LATER. BARELY HEARD THE NOISE ON MY WAY THERE BUT THE CAR NOW HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING TO PASS SLOWER CARS. GOT TO 6-8 RPMS AND ADVANCE 1 MPH IN 5-10 SEC. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG EVERYTHING IS WITHIN THE LIMITS BY FORD STANDARD. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND HAVE REQUESTED A RETURN. THE WORSE MISTAKE I MADE WAS PURCHASING THE CAR. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION MAKES ALL KIND OF NOISES, JERKS, BOGS DOWN, AND HAS EVEN ALMOST STALLED GOING UP A HILL I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID ITS "NORMAL". *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 FORD FIESTA IN NOVEMBER OF 2012. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN 3 TIMES, ONCE WAS A BROKEN CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE OTHER TIME WAS A SOAKED CLUTCH, AND ANOTHER TIME WAS TO GET RECALIBRATED. THIS CAR HAS ACCELERATION ISSUES AND ALMOST CAUSES MANY ACCIDENTS FOR ME, IT IS SHAKY AND BUMPYS, AND JUMPY. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH AND THEY ADVISED ME ITS NOT NORMAL FOR NEW CARS, WHEN I READ THE REVIEWS EVERYONE HAS THE SAME ISSUES. THERE IS ALSO A ROLL BACK WHEN YOU STOP AND PRESS THE GAS TO GO, I HAVE ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE CARS IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
