Problems with 2011 Ford Fiesta VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

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 ...

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!

The vehicle was purchased brand new. we have already taken it to ford repair shops a number of times for replacement parts, repairs, recalls, etc. recently, the vehicle would not start (among other continuing problems with shaking while braking, jerking when shifting gears--both of which we've already had worked on several times) so we had it taken to a ford dealer near where we live. we found out the problem is with the transmission control module. it turns out that ford has a csp for this problem. however, we did not know about it and by the time we started having problems, we were past the mileage for the warranty coverage. i am extremely displeased with this vehicle and the customer service we have received. i believe it is bias and discriminatory to repair problems you know about only if they are on vehicles with mileage under 150,000. if there is a known problem. ford should fix it and fix it for everyone, not just people who do not drive their vehicle frequently. this car has had known transmission problems ...

Ive taken my car to the dealership around 4 times for the same problem. the fourth being the worst. the car will shudder, shake, over rev, low power when taking off and lack of powersteering and brakes. its had its tcm reprogrammed to no avail! clutch has been replaced to no avail. third time it stared again and had to get the car reprogrammed again. the last time the car would not drive over 30 mph without shaking shuddering and trying to find the right gear. couple of times the car stopped while driving!! dealership replaced the tcm .on about the fourth time in. my wife drives our kids to school in this car and i have not confidence in its ability to sustain and deliver my family safely to their destinatation. im currently making payments and have also tried to talk to ford about a buy back or replacement and they said i don't meet or qualify for the california lemon law. they had pulled my records at the dealership to verify the car status. all actions that the car displayed and others have encountered have happened when pulling away to accelerate. a couple of my complaints ...

Unable to get car out of park, when i did, coming out of a parking lot, it stalled in middle of a busy street, had no power, transmission, stability and check engine light came on, after pushing on the gas peddle a few times, it finally, had enough power to drive it home.

When using cruise control, engine speeds up excessively on small inclines. during city or highway driving. it has happened more than once, but the last time in traffic scared me.

Vehicle has been one of many thousands to experience severe transmission issues, which have now become serious safety concerns due to ford's inability to provide a solution. this 2011 fiesta with automatic transmission was purchased new and had the sluggish feeling early on. dealer said it was a "smart engine" and would have to learn driver's driving habits. the problem persisted and got considerably worse around 9k miles....took it in, failed transmissions test...new clutch put it. thought it was fine until it started doing the same thing...failed test...no parts available- had to wait on parts. this is about the 5th or 6th time going through this process, except that now the problem is the most severe it's ever been (even with the a new clutch put in last week and being told it was "fixed'). car won't start at times, then when it does, it drives very sluggish - or won't come out of low gear (revs very high)....of if you get it into higher gear, it will suddenly slip out of it back down to low - very high rpms and very loud. it is hard to accelarate and know that it's going to go - this is especially ...

I have been dealing with transmission issues since i bought the vehicle. the first time it happened i was doing 50 mph and it shifted out of gear. this was quite disturbing. i took it in to ford and they told me it just needed the program updated. then during the winter it wouldn't go into gear at all, not forward, reverse or anything. once again i took it in and they said it was the programming. they programed it again. so back in feb it happened again, and i did then receive a letter stating there was some issues, so i was given a 100,000 mile warranty on fixing the issue. well i told them to replace the tcm, but once again they love to reprogram. so my oldest son is in need of a vehicle and he was driving it up in madison wisconsin on the most crazy freeway and it decided to lose the power doing more than 50 mph. my son was so stressed and was almost hit by a semi. i have had it with the reprogramming. i have emails and calls put into ford and i am not asking for anything but a fix ...

On several occasions the vehicle has experienced decreased acceleration as well as delayed acceleration. since june of 2011 to january 2016 i have had the clutch replaced 8 or 9 times with the power train module being reprogrammed. the problem still persists. now jan. 18th 2016 the car is experiencing a transmission malfunction. it will not accelerate over 10 miles an hour. rendering the vehicle undrivable. i can't seem to get help from ford or sunstate ford in which the vehicle was purchased. everytime they service the vehicle they state shuddering and the acceleration issues are normal functions of the vehicle. however each time they have replace the clutch or reprogrammed computers associated with the transmission. at the intersection of 441 and david walker dr in eustis fl we experienced the transmission malfunction leaving us in the middle of traffic trying to manuever at 10 miles an hour.
