Description of the problem | 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. |
