What owners wrote
The transmission on this vehicle has locked up several times. Within a week of purchasing this 2015 ford fiesta in january 2016, I had to take it back to the dealership for transmission issues. The car was jerking and wouldn't take the gas or back up. They kept the car for a week and told me that they replaced some items within the transmission and gave it back to me for my teenage daughter to drive. Since that day, I've taken the car back several times for the same issue.
