2019 Ford FIESTA - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"the transmission on this vehicle has several issues. it is available for inspection. 1. the transmission gets stuck in park. the dealership was able to reproduce. they replaced shifter mechanism, but issue returned several days later. the only way to prevent this was to disengage the brake lockout, which is a safety issue. 2. the transmission occasionally does not detect that it is in park when turning the car on as displayed on the cluster. this prevents ignition. some combination of rocking the car or shifting out of park and back into park generally corrects this, but this is a stranding safety issue. 3. occasionally the transmission will not shift into reverse. shifting into and out of park and restarting the engine several times generally fixes this, but can be a safety issue when trying to park or make a multi-point turn as it can leave the car blocking traffic. there are no malfunction lights associated with any of these issues."

"no warning lamps. sealed transmission. transmission stalls as u round a corner, or first take off, and when u come to complete stop the transmission will jerk or stall with a jerk. it's dangerous because the cars behind me almost rearend me thinking i'm gonna be taking off after i let off the brake and the transmission just sits still. doesn't even rev up and to get it to rev up to go you have to just about floor the gas pedal and it rares up to about 4rpm before it finally starts taking off. took to lucas oil and they said the transmission is reading fine. but it does it all the time, about each driver go on and has a high rom alot of times before it will shift."

"the contact called on behalf of her son who owns a 2019 ford fiesta. the contact stated her son informed her that while driving at various speeds, the transmission was shifting hard. there were no warning lights illuminated. additionally, the contact stated that while her son attempted to drive from a complete stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the half shaft was fractured and needed to be replaced. the half shaft was replaced. additionally, the contact stated that the rear windshield wipers activated erroneously while attempting to use the front windshield wipers. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 33,000. the contact stated that the vehicle continues to have issues and also has since the purchase. still no assistance from ford."

"transmission won’t change gears like normal, ford told me it was the way i drive and nothing was wrong it just needed to be reset. later it started to completely go out and not change at all so i took it to another shop and it is the control module (computer?) on the transmission. and did the exact same thing ford did (reset it) and it’s changing out the people said it will mess up again but the part isn’t available so i can’t get it fixed."

"the ford fiesta was being flat towed behind our motorhome. i were using a brake buddy that has a battery disconnect. while driving down the road about 30 miles i saw smoke coming out of the car. a wrecker was called and brought to the dealership. tge dealer said the transmission needed to be replaced."

"on 9/7/2021 i wrote you complaint number 11424034 and today i ask you how long does the investigation take?"

"the contact owns a 2019 ford fiesta. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission started slipping and the vehicle would not properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission clutch and seal kit was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000."

"the car has the defect that it skips the transmission changes, from the first to the second it stays accelerated, it resists the change, it is a danger it stays accelerated until it finally goes to second and lowers the revolutions. i visited an auto parts store for a scanner and that was the code: transmission friction po7a3x2. here i send you some news, ford, ford defects on your focus and fiesta vehicles. http://www.fordtransmissionproblems.com/fords-transmission-problem ford's powershift dual-clutch transmission was used in 2010. affected vehicles are the ford fiesta (model years 2011-2016) and ford focus (model years 2012-2016) equipped with a powershift transmission. the powershift transmission is basically a manual transmission electronically controlled by a computer while using a 'dry clutch' rather than a 'wet clutch', which means that no oil is supplied to the shift mechanism and can result in increased wear to as problems persist. when the computer module used to operate the transmission cannot handle rapid acceleration or gear changes, the vehicle sputters and creates an audible noise. the vehicle may also experience downshifting issues, which means the vehicle will stay in a higher gear despite deceleration and jerk will result. however, this is not just a matter of convenience or comfort. when accelerating quickly through an intersection, the delay can be dangerous as it prevents the vehicle from reaching the same speed as it would with an automatic transmission. when it comes to decelerating, the inability of the car to downshift properly can cause the vehicle to roll forward, even when the brakes are applied, posing a safety hazard in many circumstances. this is all a safety hazard"

"my 2019 ford fiesta automatic does not shift gears properly, my car would not reverse and therefore caused a small fender bender. it has no speed and runs rough"

"the vehicle has a problem with the powershift automatic transmission it's very sluggish when shifting when you tap the accelerator with your foot after being at a stop sign the car jolts like previous year and models of this car"
