Description of the problem | My boyfriend went out to start my car up and warm it up for me... It would turn over... Then after trying again it started. I went out to go to work and went to back out of the drive way and my car would not go in reverse. I then put it in drive and moved up a little and then proceeded to back out and then when i went to put it in drive again it would go any where. It was like the gear go stuck. I had to have my boyfriend push my car back into the driveway. I then called jones junction where i purchased the car and had it towed into their shop because i had coverage on it for repair for them to call me and say there is nothing wrong with my car. I did some research myself and found that this has been an issue with the 2011 ford fiesta transmission electronic controls . I'm furious that any dealer would inform me that there is nothing wrong with the car and because no repairs were being done i had a towing bill of 185. 00. I was stuck out in the middle of the road on a icy day and could have been easily hit by another vehicle. The gears locked up and would not go in drive. I hope and wish that ford will resolve this matter on these cars before it causes a injury or a someone's life. I will be contacting the ford dealership this morning. Thank you |
