When i purchased my vehicle new i had several problems with the transmission. after several trips to joe cotton ford in carol stream, il there was no remedy besides removing the cables from the battery to reset the vehicle's computer. on september of this year i received a letter from ford motor co. to advise that they need to do a software update due to a tcm circuit failure. i took my vehicle to friendly ford 333 e irving park, roselle, il, on monday november 11, 2019, so they can rectify the problem. prior to taking my vehicle to the dealership i removed the battery cables. apparently the dealership was not able to install the new software. the service advisor advised me that the card code reader was not able to identify the error message and they had to charge me. my vehicle was at the dealership for several days and they loaned me a car while it was in service. i was charged $199.00 for them to look at the problem and since they could not update the software i had to pay the bill. i called ford motor co. for assistance and the agent told me that there ...
No matter whether from dead stop or trying to open it up on the freeway, the vehicle still hesitates. you really have to be extra careful if you are pulling out into traffic and/or an on ramp.
While driving on highway the transmission bucks and shudders at times ! the tcm has been replaced twice and reprogrammed 3 times! same with transmissions clutch! car doesn't get enough acceleration going up hill either. this does this every time i drive ! it's having a hard time finding what gear to go in !
This vehicle is giving me a delay of about 10 seconds or more before to start. to start this vehicle, i have to put the ignition on on position, then wait until i hear a noise from the engine compartment before i turn the ignition key over to start the vehicle. otherwise, she will not start, nor the speed lever will move from parking to reverse. i called the dealer mc mahon ford in norwalk ct and explained to them the symptoms for the car, they told me that these ford fiesta and fusion are known to have transmission issues.

My vehicle shifted out of gear in a dangerous area on the highway and i was nearly hit by another vehicle as my car slowed. i had to pull off the side of the road where i restarted the car only for it to engage "limp mode" which wasn't enough power to get me off the highway safely.
The transmission shudders increasingly and had a loud grinding noise and was stalling so bad at take off. the engine would rev up but accelerating slow, then it will jerk into gear.

The car shudders and feels like it os going to stall out. the car revs high when you press the gass but has no power. i've taken it twice to dealership and they say they have to fix the throttle body first before they can tell me if it's my transmission. also when i'm filling up my tank it stops every few seconds and will not allow gas to go in the tank. they also said it's my filler neck.
Car will stop accelerating or moving in the middle of driving and completely lock up. i am unable to go forward or in reverse when this happens. however the car will still rev just not move. this is so dangerous and has happened in intersections as well as on the freeway. i've had car looked at multiple times and have had to tow off side of freeway due to it not moving!
While accelerating after a stop light, the transmission shuddered violently before 'kicking into gear' and accelerating like expected. i am filing this and describing a failure this morning, but it has been happening for the last several years as well. it sometimes stalls a bit before the gears engage and it starts to accelerate. often, there is a grinding noise when right on the border between gears. this is an automatic transmission vehicle.
The transmission shuddered and delayed propulsion since i bought the car in 2011-12. took it to dealers numerous times for "updates" and listened to a variety of excuses as to why the shuddering-- but they never fixed the problem. eventually, last month a day after my engine light came on and warned of transmission problems, the fiesta stopped propelling my car numerous times on the way home. after stopping along the highway for a couple minutes, the car would move forward again. my car now seats in my garage, undriveable with an apparently failed transmission. service center that just examined the problem quoted me $4,400 to install new transmission!
