Used Ford Fiesta for Sale in Austin, TX

Overall, I feel like the Ford Fiesta 2016 really fits my personality. I enjoy the "ride" of the vehicle; it's relaxing quiet and accelerates quickly. My previous vehicle was also a hatchback fuel-efficient car, but the Fiesta I have now is more responsive when I accelerate the gas pedal. The quality is simple, yet sturdy, and it fits my needs perfectly. A friend of mine has told me that the Fiestas are sometimes used in showrooms for car shows as a type of "sporty" car, so this influenced my decision to buy the vehicle.

I bought a 2012 Ford Fiesta from AutoNation a little over a year ago. So far, I've had to bring it in three times to have it serviced for the same problems (difficulty accelerating, grinding noise while accelerating, violent shaking of the vehicle, gears slipping while driving). The first time I brought it in, the clutch was replaced. The same problems started up again about a week later. The 2nd time, they "reprogrammed" the car. The same problems started up again a few days later. This third time, I was told that they needed to replace the clutch again and that they were on backorder for eight weeks. The mechanic stated that the car was safe to drive until then. I didn't and don't feel that it's safe to drive. I can't accelerate properly. The mechanic told me that he was unable to put me in a rental for eight weeks or offer a loaner. I have also dealt with recalls on this vehicle—specifically, a recall on the door latches as there have been several complaints on Fiesta's doors flying open out of nowhere. I feel completely unsafe in my car, and I drive it as less as possible—especially on the highway.
