120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD
| 4000 mi | grinding sound when accelerating |

| 77000 mi | Sensor failure |
| 30000 mi | A seal had broken in the transmission causing fluids to mix. This was causing shuddering when starting off from a light and jolting acceleration. |
| 50000 mi | The 2013 Fiesta is prone to a shuddering and power loss problem that Ford has yet to recall. I was having this problem, the dealer reprogrammed the ecu. The TSB has already been applied earlier and nothing has helped for long. |
| 78800 mi | worn bearing in a transmission had to be replaced. Also shuddering at low speeds still occurs, Ford still unwilling to do anything about it. |
| 94000 mi | clutch replaced, caused by shuddering of the faulty transmission. Also ecm flashed. Shuddering is gone. For good? Hope so. |

| 57000 mi | Transmission shudders on acceleration, makes grinding sounds. As with all previous attempts to mitigate this issue it was not successful. The dealer is offering no further solutions and has refused to replace the transmission. |
