What owners wrote
My ford fiesta 2013 has been having issues with shuddering, lunging, jerking, and failing to engage gear shifts. I have been told by several ford dealers and servicemen that I need to drive the vehicle as if it were a stickshift and hesitation between gear shifts is normal for this car. A ford dealer hooked up a laptop and reset the vehicle to TSB 13-4-5 "intermittent transmission clutch shudder dps6 automatic transmission".
My traction control off keeps coming on with the check engine light also and my blue tooth on the steering wheel won't work . When the traction control off comes on I loose power in my pedal and acts like it doesn't wanna go.
