Check the history if you buy any Fiesta. Mine has been a disaster. 6 clutches since I bought it new. 5 transmission "fixes" I alter my way to work every day of my life because I can't be certain that the car will have enough "pick up" speed to get on the highway. I have had all kinds of transmission and clutch issues. The worst is that as an honest person I can't sell this car to anyone. I will have to trade it in and get next to nothing. I will stick with my original review. The end of the story is a happy one. I hit a deer and it totaled the car. Terribly hard hit but no airbags went off. That surprised the Highway Patrolman. So just another issue against this car. Ford is presently making a settlement with people who had these same problems. Articles online indicate that Ford knew of the issues and chose to ignore them and continued to produce the car.

I had to have major engine repairs after 11,454 miles, the timing belt wrapped around the cam shaft, pulling it out just enough to lose power in the middle a Big Rig filled highway. I promise no one wants to be in that situation. Was fixed "Good as New" under warranty but the car is much worse now. PLEASE just go with something else. Maybe it was bad luck but it can still happen to anyone. I don't know exactly when I posted this review but I like to report that as of two weeks ago I sold it, well, traded in for answer, better built vehicle. It was the greatest day of my life, right after the birth of my daughter and my marriage. Don't buy this car and save yourself a world of trouble.

Recalls this car is very unsafe for your family. Ford motor corp just want you to for get about the recalls. Rockwall Ford motor took care what corp would let them do. I ready don't think this car is safe two doors has came open while on the road my daugther could have been kill thanks to Rockwall ford that care for people to help me. The only think I wanted from Corp was to buy the car back and gave me a save one. That didn't work.

Ford you dang Shure don't have a better idea with this pile of Metal junk. A tranny that is a Joke a interior that a 5 foot man cant see anything out of it Visibility in this sardine can is afull,and the Car should be banned on all Major roads in the USA,and Major insurance company's should not insure any year of this car.Ford should be made to buy back ever one of them abortions. Even after they fixed the Tranny it still acts like a sick sick non functioning tin can concert This car has moved me to never again own a FORD.PS even a new Fiesta should never cost more the 9,000 since you going to loose 8,000 of right off the bat.Fords better idea is no where represented by this car Profit at the consumers expense is all this car is about
