Ford Fiesta 2013: Clutch issue

Asked by Barry O'Dwyer

I bought a 2013 Ford Fiesta in January. Since then it has been back to the dealer three times because it stutters between gears. Ford is telling me that it is not bad enough to replace the clutch, yet I know this is a big problem and Ford is replacing some and not others. Can you help at all? I have never been so frustrated in my life. This should not happen when you buy a new car.

I agree, but unfortunately it is a reality that new cars are not always free of problems, and the Fiesta has issues with its dual-clutch transmission. There are claimed to be service fixes for the transmission so go back to the dealer and press for a fix for your car, and don't take no for an answer.
