I have an automatic 2012 ford fiesta, a model that is infamous for its transmission issues. i had the clutch and seal kits replaced at approx 72k miles on 10/5/2017 under technical service bulletin 14m01; immediately after this repair, the vehicle had to go back into the shop for a high idle and continued shuddering. since then, i have continued to have problems with the vehicle studdering on takeoff, hesitating and then jumping when accelerating, and ultimately with the transmission slipping from drive to neutral. in mid-july 2019, while leaving my suburban neighborhood and making a left turn onto the main road at approximately 20mph, my vehicle slipped from drive into neutral and i lost all power and was unable to brake effectively or speed the vehicle up effectively. thankfully this happened early in the morning with no cross traffic and i was able to pull into a parking lot safely. the same incident happened again 7 months later in late-january 2020. i took the vehicle back to the ford for an inspection on 2/7/2020 (which they charged me for). they stated that there was transmission fluid between the bell housing and the ...
The car evap purge valve stays open. the car idles and dies everytime i put gas in. the purge valve was replaced less than a year of purchasing the car and it's gone bad again. the check engine light and engine malfunction warning came on then two days later the car died after i added gas and took 2 hours to start. i bought a new battery and drove it another week. it still idles after adding fuel even with the new battery. it finally died and i had it towed to the ford dealer and they did a diagnostic and said the catalytic converter, throttle body and evao purge valve, o2 sensor is bad and all 3 needs replacing.
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
