The review comes as Ford dealers await further guidance on how to handle customer concerns about the defective transmissions in certain Fiesta and Focus vehicles.
Jamie L. LaReauThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday it is"reviewing all available information, including complaints filed from consumers" after three members of Congress called for an investigation of Ford vehicles with faulty transmissions.
FILE - In this Aug. 31, 2011 file photo, a Blue Candy Metallic 2012 Ford Focus SEL Sedan, left, and a Lime Squeeze Metallic 2012 Ford Fiesta SE are dispayed at the Maroone Ford of Miami dealership in Miami. More Americans are choosing small cars like the Chevrolet Cruze and even smaller subcompacts like the Honda Fit because they're worried about high gas prices and big car payments.
For its part, Ford is not saying if or when it will again communicate with its dealers about the DPS6 transmission repairs and extending warranties. The cars can lose acceleration when the transmission – which operates to the driver like an automatic but is internally more like a manual – slips out of gear. Ford chose the transmission to improve fuel economy as the nation emerged from the Great Recession and federal fuel mileage standards rose.
