2013 Ford Fiesta Brakes Problems

“Transmission started grinding while trying to accelerate from sitting idle. Brakes locked up 3 different times while I had my foot on the brake. The transmission revs very high with any street that is not completely flat. When I sit at a stop light it will roll backward when I try to go. It is an automatic transmission.”

“My daughter took her car in for repair end of july 2014, due to very bad shuttering, shaking, acceleration and brake issue. Dealership claims they reset the computer that speaks to the transmission.

“I am the owner of a 2013 Ford Fiesta se. I take my car for regular maintenence. I replaced my front and rear brakes in december. A month or two ago I felt an anomaly in my suspension and brakes.

This happen to me before but I was in a parking lot, the speed was very low and I could control the situation. …”

I took it in on march 05, 2014 and the dealership had it for a week. When I picked it up, I was told that they could not find anything wrong with it and the grinding was normal .
