Im not sure if i have selected correct options. but all i know is when i slow my car and they try to accelerate the car does not speed up immediately it take few minutes. hence i have to accelerate more to make the car running. this has always been an issue. quite difficult while switching lanes on highways or taking turns. specially driving in winter is scary. i find the car very unpredictable. i took it to the servicing centre in toronto ca at dufferin for the recall that was issued and the issue is still not resolved. after informing them they just disregarded saying this is an issue with all ford. thinking im a women and dont understand much of cars i forgot about it. even when it rains while applying a brake it startles and doesn't stop immediately. this issue was also discussed with the ford centre at dufferin st in toronto. i sometimes fear to drive my car as i have my child and pets along with me. this is ongoing thing daily so cant specify which date exactly as whenever we drive we have this issue.
Received a costumer service letter (15b22/19n07) stating issue with transmission tcm and to bring car into dealer for evaluation/fix. once car was brought into dealership was told we needed to pay $200 for a diagnostic test of the car to see if it is eligible for the recall. we have had several issues with the transmission in this vehicle such as skipping gears, loss of power and the car even stalling out. if this is a recall issue due to defective transmission i feel i as a consumer should not have to pay a dime to fix their problem. i am aware of a large news story that involved this particular vehicle transmission issues resulting in several deaths due to accident caused by this problem.
While driving on a city street or otherwise, my car's engine malfunction light will come on. the car will suddenly jerk and slow down. no matter how hard i press on the gas pedal, it will not go over 30mph. i have almost been slammed into several times due to the sudden loss of speed. i've taken it in twice and had the gas pedal replaced as the computer picks up a problem between the chip and the computer. and both times the new part has failed. i've looked into this and it seems to be a reoccurring problem across the board, and a dangerous one considering ford is aware of the problem
The car has difficulty shifting gears and has trouble accelerating properly
Purge valve caused fuel tank to be sucked in 3/4 of an inch. while driving i have surging and when stopped the idle is erratic and bounces between 1000 to 2000 rpm. causes code p0300 to come and go and also p0497 to come and go. extremely hard for dealerships to find the problem. i have video and picture proof of issue.
While driving "engine malfunction service now" light comes on, then stops accelerating in motion. turned vehicle off/on light goes out, continue driving and it happens again. did all my checks and balances, seems like a manufacturures issue. high safety issue when traveling. had transmission shutter seal replaced twice in 2 yrs by ford dealership free of charge.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford fiesta. while driving approximately 40 mph approaching a traffic light, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and "service transmission" displayed on the instrument panel. the vehicle started to decelerate and the contact pulled into a parking lot. the vehicle was restarted and the same indicator and message remained illuminated; however, the vehicle failed to engage in reverse. the vehicle was driven to joe myers ford (16634 north west freeway, houston, texas 77040) where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module and clutch actuator motor failed, and oil was leaking from the valve gasket area. the contact also stated that the vehicle was previously repaired for transmission failure in july of 2017. the vehicle was repaired for the recent failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 96,000.
Hello there! it's been a really long story, but my car has had a history of transmission problems that have been replaced twice now on ford's dollar. it's been having the same issues now and it's even worse. it's non drivable. there are two open recalls for it, 14m01 and 14m02. i took it to the ford dealership and we've gone back and forth with manufacturing, but it's so broken they can't pull those codes. they say that i need to pay for a tear down (at least 1,200) so they can diagnose it to see if they'll reimburse me. i'm obviously not going to pay for that and i'd like ford to pay for it, but they won't. i have an open case with them, but reached the end of the line. can you help?
It started smoking all of a sudden from the engine area. i think the manufacturer is not revealing the real problems in the recall notice

The clutch has been replaced three times and car continues to hesitate ,bucks, lurches forward, and engine makes buzzing sound feels like it's dragging when driving. most recently at a stop sign the car accelerated and lurched forward i had two feet on the brake it was difficult to control.
While driving on the expressway my car began smoking and began to overheat which caused a cracked cylinder head that sprayed oil all over the inside of my hood sparking a small fire under the hood. the computer began to shut the car down and displayed a warning message that stated sudden loss of oil pressure, please prepare to pull over safely. just as i read that message the brakes started to lock and the steering became harder to turn as i tried to get off the next exit from the expressway. i reinjured my broken ankle in trying to keep stop and control the car. once pulled over the car continued to smoke and no longer started. i filed a claim with my insurance and it was denied as they found the cause was due to recall mechanical or electrical breakdown still under powertrain warranty. i went online and found on the ford motor company mediacenter website this recall notice date 3/29/17. my vin # was not on this list but to the letter is what i experienced: ford issues safety recall for certain 2013-15 ford escape, ford fiesta st, ford fusion and ford transit connect ...
Bought this car new on 12/22/2013 and have been having transmission problems from day 3 of owning it. this car is not safe to drive. it grinds, clicks and makes horribly loud noises. it stalls in the middle of turns and i've almost been ran over many times. it jerks and accelerates on its own without me evening telling it to. now at approximately 54,000 miles it will no longer even start and the light says "transmission malfunction service now." the wrench light and engine light also come on and off, periodically. ford motor company is well aware that they put bad transmissions in all of these new cars and we have been robbed. is it going to take someone's death before someone does the right thing in this situation?
Vehicle is dangerous. i have experienced loss of power with no response to the gas pedal. car jerks violently while driving making it very difficult to steer and maintain. i have not driven car in months because it is a safety hazard. i have taken car to dealer 4 times and each time they are fixing the transmission, but it does the same thing right after getting the car back. avoid this vehicle do not buy.
When i take off from a stop the engine chugs, jerks, chatters, and grinds.
