When accelerating after stopping my 2016 fiesta se shudders quite hard moving from 1st to 2nd gear and then also from 2nd to 3rd. i've noticed that the length of time the car shudders is increasing. the shudder is accompanied by a loud rattling sound like if you shook a bunch of screws in a metal container. sometimes loss of power and high rpm's occur. i will take it back in and this will be the 4th time. the ford dealership tells me that the shudder doesn't harm the transmission. i don 't believe that. can't even sell the car (i tried) because this car's resale value is zero. next i'm thinking of pursuing a lemon law resolution.
Transmission hesitates, doesn't always move from gear to gear and often makes strange noises
The tcm light comes on when car is started. while the car is moving it seem to slip out of gear. this happens while driving on a straight road or turning or slowing down. the rpm revs up but the car is slowing down. this happens when driving 30 mph or 50 mph.
Transmission noise just before the #3 shift rather it up a upshift or downshift. the vehicle has a faulty clutch and the slave cylinder is noisy. the #3 shift noise may be faulty shift synchronizer or a damaged shift fork
Ford dealership "fixed" the transmission on 7-24-19 except it's not fixed. at a stop when pressing the gas the car won't move then suddenly launch forward randomly. it also still loses all engine power while driving down the road. these were the same symptoms as before the "fix". this issue has caused a minor accident as well. we got lightly rear ended when a light turned green, we started moving forward and at about 7-10mph we lost all power and the person behind us couldn't stop quick enough. damage was minor, just some chipped paint but it could have been much worse.
Car stalls, doesn't pick up speed, hesitates to start, engine light is on because the gas valve needs to be replaced. gas warning comes on when half full. gas smell throughout car. has a load humming sound when driving or idled. jumps when accelerate. i have taken my car to a dealership in saint louis (relocated recently) and they won't touch it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fiesta. the contact stated that while attempting to leave her place of residence, the gear shift lever was placed in drive however, the vehicle started to go backwards and struck the siding of the residence. the vehicle was taken to heritage ford located at 1600 shelburne rd, south burlington, vt 05403, (802) 865-8100, to be diagnosed, which was still pending. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
Vehicle has random sudden loss of acceleration while in motion, lurches ahead randomly, shudders and shakes when changing gears, causing loss of control in various moving situations. this happens regularly in all driving conditions
The car will not start properly after refueling. you have to press on the gas several times and then the brake to start it. when it does start, you need to rev the engine a couple times to make sure it won't die again. the transmission is now slipping and drops to neutral while driving at any given time. it happened to me twice this morning while driving on the interstate. when it finally gets back into gear, it lurches forward. this morning i was nearly in an accident because of this new development in a 2 year old car. i will never buy a ford again, this is too dangerous for anyone valuing their lives.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fiesta. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled numerous times after a cold start. the clutch was applied at a low rate of speed, in most instances, when the failure occurred. the vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure was progressing to the point that the vehicle may not restart. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 15,000. *bf consumer stated after a cold start ten or more hours, always during the first 1/3 mile at speeds less than or up to 25 mph and in the first 3 gears of ny manual transmission when i apply the clutch instead of the clutch maintaining engine revs, the rev counter will jump up and then dip down and the engine sometimes stalls. once the car is warm and higher speeds have been reached this problem does not reoccur even at the lower gears and speeds. *jb
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fiesta. the contact stated that the actuators repeatedly failed on the vehicle. in addition, the air compressors malfunctioned, which caused the vehicle to shut off without warning. furthermore, the vehicle leaked oil from the transmission. the contact took the vehicle to russell and smith ford (3440 s loop w, houston, tx 77025, (713) 230-8368) where it was serviced multiple times for the failures under warranty. on one occasion, while the vehicle was stopped at a red light, it shut off without warning. the contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but the engine began to screech. upon depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle continue to screech and stalled. the vehicle was towed to randall reed's planet ford (19000 eastex fwy, humble, tx 77338, (866) 844-5995) where the vehicle was repaired for the air compressor and numerous other failures; however, the failures continued. the manufacturer was not notified of the failures. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.
Takata recall. every time i put fuel in my car it hesitates. sometimes it cuts off and sometimes it just shakes and almost cuts off. it hesitates when i don't put fuel in it but it does it worse everytime i put fuel in it. the transmission doesn't change gears sometimes. i have to let it coast to get it to change gears or i have to stop then go. if i yield then go with out completely stopping the transmission won't change gears unless i let it coast until it changes or stop and let it change before i proceed.
Since week 1 the car (when at a stop and in gear) if you pressed the accelerator at any level the car would do nothing then after roughly 3-6 seconds it would randomly launch forward. it would also seemingly go into neutral on the highway which led to a complete loss of engine power. this also happens when on a normal road at any speed and is completely random and one time at a red light we began to accelerate then power suddenly cut out and we got rear ended lightly. i told peter's ford in nashua nh during our 1st 3 oil changes about the issue and was told implicitly that it was completely normal and i shouldn't worry about it as it will just go away on its own. essentially i was brushed off despite 3 complaints that never led to the dealer checking the car. these issues have been constant since we bought the car brand new in 2016.
The car jerks and shutters when the gas is first pressed from a stop. the transmission has been "fixed" 3 times and still has issues.
My car has less than 50000 miles and already been to the shop due to not starting. it was determined that the battery had a bad cell. got the battery replaced and all worked fine. 2 months later the same issues are happening again. will go to the shop this week. hopefully they van find out what's wrong.
Transmjtions feels slugish one day normal next revs up at times more than normal makeing vehilce speed up when needing to slow down . suspension often warps out of place makeing the drive harsh on motar and falls back on place. steeding collum falls out of place to odften have to bend the wheel to get back alignment
At 2600 miles my transmission went and was fixed by ford, but the car is so noisy now and the floor boards vibrate, i am afraid to drive this car
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fiesta. while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle stalled, the rpms increased, and the transmission warning indicator illuminated. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure was not diagnosed. the failure mileage was approximately 54,000.
Car parked, battery dead. jump started car. car started. all warning lights lit on dash. online search recommended driving car to reset the programs. drove car around block, car lost acceleration. felt as though transmission was in neutral. the engine revved while giving gas but would not move. transmission malfunction warning light came on. had car towed to dealership.
I picked up this new ford fiesta 5dr (auto transmission) 9/29/16 & the vehicle now has 1979 miles on odometer. i noticed this transmission issue right after i picked up the car & reported this to the dealer. the car/transmission seems to have a mind of it's own. the dealer at the time could not duplicate the problem & told me when i could duplicate it to return & have it checked; well that's a little hard since the issue is not pre-determined. on 7/12/2017 as i was stopped at a traffic light i realized my side vision was obscured slightly so i thought i would ease up towards the stop line to clear the obstructed view, i took my foot off the brake slightly in an effort to just let the car roll a little until i cleared the obstructed view but instead of my car just rolling it lunged forward & scared the life out of me so i pressed down on the brake to stop the car. there was no one in front of me & luckily no one in back of me either when this happened.
Has a hesitation when you press the gas pedal almost like too much fuel at one time and then all of the sudden it will launch forward. when this happens while turning it will cause you to redirect your steering quickly or you will end up on someone else's side of the road.and when pulling out from stop signs or signal lights is very scary and is a safety concern for me.not having power when needed is very unsafe for me and the other surrounding drivers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fiesta. while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate properly. in addition, a scrapping type noise was present coming from the steering wheel while operating the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the deal hamilton ford dealer located in clovis, new mexico, but the failure was unable to be duplicated. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 8,000. ...updated 10/19/17 *bf the consumer stated the seatbelts in back would lock up while in use. *js
When the vehicle is stopped and i let my foot off the brake the car lunges forward the majority of the time. from a stop, when i release the brake and use the accelerator there's a hesitation.
Clunk noise shifting from 1st to 2nd gear... i have experienced this from the day i picked up the car from the dealer on 9/29/16 (45 miles on car then).. i thought at first i imagined it or just needed to get used to this car since i had just turned in a 2014 lease car back to toyota so big difference in these 2 cars..
Car shudders/shakes when i start to drive after a stoplight. usually happens after the car has been on for a while and the engine is hot. took car for an oil change and noticed a lot of oil dripping from underneath the car later that day (2 inch diameter spots). took the car to a mechanic, and they said the shuddering/shaking is caused by an issue with the clutch. i just bought this car new, and did not expect to have an issue already. this is a manufacturer defect.
Lunges forward any time it wants, anyplace it wants too.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fiesta. while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle continued to lunge forward without warning. at times, while applying pressure to the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would stall and then slowly pick up speed. there were no warning indicators illuminated during the failures. the contact also stated that the vehicle shifted into neutral while in drive, which caused the vehicle to overheat without warning. the vehicle was taken to galpin ford (1000 sandretto dr, prescott, az 86305, (877) 826-2935) where it was diagnosed with a faulty transmission. since owning the vehicle, the contact had the transmission control module replaced twice. the manufacturer was notified of the failures and provided the repair cost. the failure mileage was 39,000.
