CLUTCH ASSEMBLY 2 DRIVELINE 1

Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2014 Ford Fiesta

When driving and come to a stop, the car won't shift into gear. i have to turn the car off to be able to shift into neutral. it does this when sitting at a stop or trying to take off or back up.

After getting a letter offering a clutch replacement, i brought my vehicle in to the dealership and all they did was diagnose it. still lurches forward at lower speeds and there's a lack of power if you get on it like sea doo in deep water.

The dealer refuses to service my vehicle. transmission still hesitating ,lunging and slipping at take off.

Clutch pedal will stay stuck down in manual transmission 6 speed. intermittent, but repeatable (not every time but doesn't seem to stop happening) prevents car from moving forward when this happens. clutch is disengaged while this is occurring. can happen whether shifting stopped or while in motion. lifting on the clutch pedal by hand (or foot) will reengage the clutch. has happened when shifting from 1st to 2nd in an intersection, could not proceed under power in any gear till manually (awkwardly) reaching down and lifting pedal while traffic approaching me.

Aug. 11, 2019 went out to turn on the car and the battery was dead. i got a boost and the transmission malfunction service now light came on and the wrench light came on. i bought a brand new battery and the lights still didn't turn off. i took it to a ford dealership had the fuel changed still nothing. now the dealership is saying that there is something wrong with the transmission bearings. i do not have that type of money and i don't know what to do now i am still paying for this vehicle i've only had it two and a half years.

Part 2: this is the second part of the complaint following the trade-in of the 2012 focus i purchased brand new...so, sick of the focus acting up all the time, i took it back into jim snead ford, waynesboro, va and he encourages me to buy a brand new fiesta. i did not complain as he was my sole main guidance and i thought i could trust jim. on 08/09/2013, i purchase a brand new ford fiesta trading in the 2012 ford focus. jim snead allows only $961 trade in value for the focus and i lost $23,690.68 on depreciation and monthly payments! i buy the fiesta and the same thing happens again. the car's tires spin when accelerating from a full stop then the vehicle jumps out forward. the car rides rough, it bucks, it misses, it makes noises, it shudders. this time i am not very happy nor pleasant with mr. jim snead. i was a teacher, a widow w/ two kids still dependent on me and here he sells me another 'crap', terrifying car that seems to have a mind of its own. of course, according to mr. ...

Transmission hesitates when car is in drive and advancing. it is dangerous while trying to make a pass or trying to move from standing on a traffic light

Transmission is 6 speed automatic, constantly shudders, fails to engage, disengages while driving. has been "repaired" numerous times and acts up withing a few thousand miles again. when trying to back up, as in parking downtown, reverse fails to engage or pops out of reverse leaving me in traffic. car is no longer reliable and is dangerous to drive anywhere due to this transmission.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford fiesta. while driving 40 mph on an incline, the vehicle failed to accelerate. also, while at a complete stop, the vehicle abruptly jerked and gradually accelerated when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the contact refrained from driving highways speeds out of concern that the vehicle would lose acceleration and crash. wyatt johnson ford (646 thompson lane, nashville, tn 37204, 615-244-3615) was contacted and diagnosed that the clutch and transmission failed. the manufacturer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 100,000.

After 45000 miles the clutch pedal started to get stuck on occasion. at 47000 miles the transmission failed with the clutch pedal stuck all the way down in traffic and the transmission was leaking fluid. it ended up being the slave cylinder that needed replacing. given that i do not drive a lot this failed outside of warranty while many other have gotten it replaced under warranty as it appears to fail on 2014 models between 40000 and 50000 miles.

The dsp6 dual clutch transmission in this car is unreliable and dangerous. this is exhibited via frequent shuttering, stalling, lurching forward, and loss of vehicle power when it switches to neutral at highway speeds. in one instance the vehicle lurched forward into an intersection at which point i was almost hit by cross traffic. in another instance, traveling at highway speeds, the transmission switched to neutral on it's own and i was almost hit by a another car from behind.

Takata recall car will not go into revers takata recall gear change is rough wile driving forewords shudders i have to turn key on and off many times before it will start loud clunk when making a right turn takata recall took car in for sync recall many times still not fixed

I had to recently park my vehicle. rebuilt my transmission 70,000 & 92,000 transmission still continued to slip, no power on freeway.

Car has been jumping since i got it in 2016, the place i got it from said it was normal and now the engine light and transmission light is on

Takata recal 2014 ford fiesta se ever since i purchased this vehicle i noticed that something funny with the transmission. at lower rpms you will hear something like broken parts clanking around in the transmission i assume. when you accelerate it does not keep a steady increase of speed when you apply the same pressure on the gas pedal, in fact it will down shift into a lower gear and rev to a really hi rpm .i would understand this if i was giving it a lot of gas but i am not, and am firm on the gas pedal. this is very unsafe and this piece of junk should not be allowed to be called a vehicle.
