A good vehicle but with issues on automatic transmission

I generally like the car, I find it well designed and constructed. There is a known issue with the automatic transmission, it never worked smoothly, after replacement by Ford, it continues to be not smooth at times

The transmission is terrible and Ford knows that.

Ford can make a car that works, they just didn't do that with any of the 2012 model transmissions.... And what is worse is that they knew the transmissions sucked and still put it out there. Im still waiting for them to get back to me about replacing my transmission. I don't get why they did that because it ultimately hurts their customer loyalty and their brand image. FORD if you are reading this NEVER DO THIS AGAIN! But the zippy-ness of the SES models and its perfect for City/Town driving.

Base model sedan 5spd

Despite Ford’s epic class action lawsuit. Despite having first hand knowledge of both problems that occurred for recall. Breaking door mechanisms that resulted in driving a stick shift, and the doors not staying shut with my son as a passenger. Seals failing on the duel clutch system, causing the third trip to be a buy back. My daughter will now never own a Ford. In dismay I read how Ford knew there was a problem. Stuck, with a design they could not change. I bought mine free from power windows, free from power seats, free from all the gizmos on the steering wheel. Paid it off 8 months early. Oil change every 5k. 10k on the sons 2017, cause it’s an automatic. Has to do with the r’s. Don’t go crazy, but get good tires. H rated. Not T rated. Love feeling the car actually flex. Handling as a daily driver begs to pushed through turns till the information screen starts rapidly displaying cry’s of information that is beyond normal limits. The last New Ford I’m buying

Great little car with an awful transmission

I love it; it's reliable, fuel efficient, and cute. It's low maintenance. Problem is a weird transmission that makes the car rumble, shake or bucks. However, Ford has guaranteed it for the life of the car, and would re-set or re-program it as often as I am willing to bring it in. I've decide that it's not worth my time. The car works.

I liked the 2012 Fiesta but the new Focus 2017 that I have now runs so beautiful.. Thank you for the great service.!!!

It took a while to fix the Fiesta 2012 transmission but then ran beautifully. Thank you. We are now enjoying the new Focus 2017. It has air conditioner that works right away.

Best little car ever!

Have had my Fiesta for 5 years now. Extremely good on gas. Haven't had a need for tune-up or anything (beyond oil changes). Zips along and is great for parallel parking.

Problem after Problem

There have been at least 4 recalls on this POS, and even more problems that I can tell you. Two years after I bought the car, I had to REPLACE THE GAS TANK which wasn't covered under warranty for some reason. The car shudders when taking off from a light every time. When you take it to a Ford dealership, they treat you like you're some kind of bastard step-child since you couldn't afford a Mustang. AVOID BUYING THIS CAR. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE LOW STICKER PRICE, THERE'S A REASON! BEWARE!!!!!
