Reverse?

[noobMk7]

Mine seems to Jump out of reverse sometimes. It does not happen often but the noise is horrible and it always happens in busy carparks (making me look like a tool)

Does my car hate me or is the a problem other people are finding?

[benstanden1803]

yeah, i have the same problem. not sure if there is much that can be done to fix it though

Typical fiesta problem

The mk6 and facelift both have the same problem

Same will only go in reverse if the car is fully stopped!

My mk3 is the same!

[noobMk7]

Cheers lads. Its something i can live with and when the car starts to to forward again all is forgiven

I know I'm way behind on looking at the forums and answering things, I'll get there though lol.

In a way I'm glad to see this thread, it's not just me then, pretty much every time I try to reverse up the drive & when it doesn't jump out it stalls instead.

press you clutch in release then press in again and engage reverse.....
this does the trick for me and it never jumps out ever......
come to fink about it i'v never had it jump out of gear !!!!!!!! but it does'nt like going in reverse first time....

Mine seem's to make a "crunching" noise most times i select reverse, irregardless of whether it is rolling/stopped, selecting gently/vigorously, clutch in -> out -> in -> select. It's quite frustrating.
My old car was not much better than scrap and yet it still didn't crunch when i selected reverse.
Just sad to see such a new car failing on such little things.
