What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford fiesta. The contact stated that when returning to the vehicle, an attempt was made to start the vehicle but the vehicle failed to start as all the warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic whom informed the contact that the failure was due to the transmission needing repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure nor was the dealer contacted. The VIN search revealed no recalls associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was 62,000.
The car slips and suddenly goes off while in motion and all the dashboard lights come up so it has to be left for few minutes and it will start all over again. I got a real notice from a dealership which I took to them and they called me back that it was fixed but to my surprise the problem was still there. I sent several emails to them but got no response back from them.
All warning lights come on, headlights go off, and the radio goes off at random times. Also the transmission warning comes on randomly (per the message boards this is a common issue with this model). It's been in the dealership's shop 3 times and they've not been able to duplicate the problems therefore they have not fixed the problems.
When I drive the car in a low gear (usually stuck in traffic or leaving a parking lot) it will flash several warning lights and the computer console will say "transmission malfunction, service now." then the car will stop responding to the gas pedal entirely. I can usually get it to respond again by turning the car off and turning it back on again. After several minutes, this will work, but it's only a matter of time before it stalls out again. I've taken the car (still under warranty) back to ford for this same issue 5 times now, and each time they replace the transmission module. Each time, after some time (shortest: 2 days, longest: four months) the same stalling out presents in the same way. I've broken down/stalled out in parking lots, on surface streets, and on major freeways: each time in traffic. The first incident happened in august of 2015, then 12/11/15, 12/15/15, 12/18/15 and 1/14/15.
