Hello to all! I'm Alvin Panlilio from the Philippines. I own a 2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L 5DR Automatic Transmission. I'm happy to join the FORDFORUM and I'm hoping I could get some information regarding problems I have with my car.
My car mileage is already 94,646 Kms. My big problem now is, the car won't move in the Reverse Mode. Before I had this problem, the car is slow accelerating, jerking, and has no power going up, after replacing the V belt and crankcase valve hose. The car also consumes a lot of gasoline. The Powertrain Error is also displayed in the panel, and only dash(-) line is shown, instead of the PRND display. There is also an oil leak on the bottom of the transmission. Just a few days ago, I did some troubleshooting, and found the electricals connectors around the engine are contaminated by the oil, which I have already cleaned with contact cleaner and strong air. My reverse light is also not working, and this is what I was troubleshooting, looking for the reverse switch, which I could not find in the beginning. Luckily through your Forum, I have learned that this is the Transmission Range Switch, found near the Clutch assembly. I heard also a loud sound and strong jerking , when the car the car finally will not go to the reverse mode. I would bring the car to FORD service center eventually for assessment, but I would like to repair the minor problems first by myself. I'm already retired citizen, and could not afford costly repair by Ford. I would appreciate it a lot if someone could help me. Thanks you in advance.
