The Fiesta dual-clutch gearbox in your car is trouble, pure and simple, as many other Fiesta owners would happily tell you. You could get the gearbox independently tested, but I fear that Ford wouldn't take any notice of the findings. Ford is facing a class action suit from owners affected by the problem, and I would suggest you consider joining that if you feel you are unlikely to get anywhere with Ford.
Don’t take any notice of the dealer; I would be very angry if I was told it was the way I drive. The gearbox needs to be repaired; the problem you have got is quite common. Take it back to the dealer and insist they fix it, or call Ford’s customer service people and ask them to get it fixed.
Call Ford’s customer assistance people and explain your concern to them, and request that they replace the transmission, or have them cut you a deal on a new car. What they have put you through with your car is unacceptable.
Ford says it has a solution and I'm passing your details across to get a fix for your Fiesta.
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.
