What owners wrote
I leased the car through my bank on may 5th 2016 with just over 35,000 miles. Two months into that the car didn't start and all electronic lights were flickering. It displayed transmission malfunction. I towed the car to a big ford repair shop. They said it needed a new transmission update and a new clutch. They took care of it. This has happened seven (7) times since I got the car may 2016. Pretty much every four months. It is completely inconvenient and costly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford fiesta. The contact stated that the gears made an abnormal noise, the vehicle shuttered, and the clutch lost power. The dealer provided a software update; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the clutch assembly was replaced, but it did not correct the condition. The vehicle was taken back again for a software update, but the vehicle was still not repaired. The vehicle remained parked at the contact's residence due to the failure.
