2013 Ford Fiesta 4 DR FWD

In my 2013 Fiesta, the driver's side seatbelt will no longer retract back in place properly- and while driving it would not retract properly, usually staying loose. The passenger side seatbelt would not fit snug around the passenger either. Both front seatbelts would not restrain anyone in the event of braking hard. I took it in for repair to Fred Bean's Ford in Exton, PA. It was unsafe to drive the car because both the driver and passenger would fly forward when the brakes were pushed hard- no restraining at all from either seatbelt. The dealership will charge me over $800 to install a new part called a pretensioner in both seatbelts. I will save my receipt.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle would not accelerate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact stated that as he restarted the vehicle and switched gears to drive, the vehicle would not move. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake calipers had seized onto the rotors. The contact stated that the brake calipers, brake pads, brake lines, and the rotors were replaced; however, the failure reoccurred intermittently while driving. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the ABS assembly needed to be replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that he would be responsible for the cost of the repair since the VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The contact also stated that the front passenger’s door inadvertently opened while driving. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V331000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The manufacturer was notified of the failures and referred the contact to NHTSA. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while his wife was driving uphill at 5 MPH, the transmission inadvertently lost power and the vehicle rolled back downhill. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated after replacing the battery himself, the warning message "transmission malfunction" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

My transmission light came on and the car began to shutter, would stay at a consistent speed even when I wasn't touching the gas pedal, and the tachometer was fluctuating up and down when I was not touching the gas pedal. I had a passenger in the car, and we both felt unsafe with how the car was acting. I took the car into an auto shop to look at the transmission fluid in case that was the issue, but they said it was fine and that I should have a diagnostic test done on the transmission to see if it needs to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while driving at night the low-beam headlights would turn off and on and eventually remained permanently inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the headlight relay was faulty due to excessive corrosion. The relay was replaced, and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,000.

The car suddenly couldn't move in reverse gear or any other forward gear except 1st gear. It is definitely very risky especially if you were on the highway, car cannot move faster than 10 mph. The check engine light was also on. Dealer said it needs a TCM replacement but the parts can take months to get. It is supposed to be a very well-known issue as ford covers this under the TCM extended warranty. Now I'm left in nowhere, stuck at home without a car and Ford doesn't provide any resolution for me to commute or move around.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss motive power and stalled. Occasionally while driving, the transmission erroneously shifted into neutral and the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the shift control module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. The VIN was not available.

As I was driving on the highway, my car lost power as if it wasn't in gear anymore. Fortunately, I was in a side lane and was able to coast to the side of the road safely; I doubt I would be as lucky if I was in a middle lane. That being said, the side of the road is still dangerous. Shifting the gear selector did nothing to give me power. I put the vehicle in park and turned it off. I waited a few seconds and tried to turn it back on. It wouldn't start. I tried several more times. I then waited a few minutes and tried to start it again, this time with the car starting. I was able to get to work and drive without any issues. After work, however, my car failed to start and had to be towed. There were zero warning lights or messages displayed during this event.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT RANDOMLY COMING ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, MAKING ONE BELIEVE THE VEHICLE'S CHARGING SYSTEM IS IN NEED OF REPAIR. WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED IT WAS RECOMMENDED SINCE I WAS TRAVELING CLOSE TO 200 MILES EVERYDAY, THAT I HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AS IT WAS THOUGHT A DIODE WAS GOING OUT. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED, AND THE VEHICLE STILL HAS THIS LIGHT COME ON AND ILLUMINATE, MAKING YOU THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. EVEN WHEN LIGHT IS ON THE CHARGING SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS IT SHOULD. ALL COMPONENTS ARE GOOD. IT RANDOMLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON, UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, SOMETIMES A COUPLE CYCLES OF THE KEY IS NEEDED. I HAVE SEEN ON FORUMS WHERE OWNERS HAVE PAID SOME MAJOR DOLLARS TRACKING THIS ISSUE. PROBLEM IS SINCE IT IS RANDOM, THE CAR'S DRIVER DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER THERE IS AN ISSUE OR NOT. THE ALTERNATOR ITSELF WITHOUT LABOR WAS AROUND $300 (ESTIMATED). ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS AT STARTUP AND REMAINS UNTIL VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ISSUE LAST OCCURRED ON THE MORNING OF 02/19/ 2020 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:00 AM

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

THE VEHICLE IS STRAINING TO PICK BACK UP SPEED ONCE IT COMES TO A STOP OR SLOWS DOWN. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT SEEMS TO HAVE TROUBLE SWITCHING OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE IT'S A DUAL TRANSMISSION I'M SUSPECTING SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THE CLUTCH THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHUTTER.

DUE TO LACK OF SEALER PREVENTING OUTSIDE DEBRIS FROM ENTER THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. CORROSION SETS IN AND CAUSES INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH DAY TIME DRIVING LIGHTS WHILE NOT EFFECTING HIGH BEAMS. UNEXPECTED SCENARIOS SHOWED THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, WITH A HIGHER LIKELIHOOD DURING COLD TEMPERATURES WITH FREEZING PARTICIPATION

HEADLIGHTS ON 2013 FORD FIESTA BEGAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE LOW BEAM LIGHT RELAY WAS SO BADLY CORRODED THAT IT HAD BROKEN OFF INSIDE THE FUSE BOX, MAKING THE RELAY IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE. THE CORROSION APPEARS TO BE A RESULT OF A DESIGN FLAW ALLOWING MOISTURE IN THE FUSE BOX. CANADA HAS A SIMILAR RECALL REFERENCE NUMBER 19S28 ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE.

CAR REMAINS STUTTERING IDILING HIGH THEN LOW ATEMPS TO SHUT OFF FROM TIME TO TIME, I HAVE TAKING VEHICLE TO GET CHECKED AT LOCAL FORD DEALER ONLY WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS TCM FAILURE OR MAL FUNCTION, THEY REPAIR THE PART IF IT'S AVAILABLE BUT NOW CAR STILL DOES THE SAME THING ONLY DIFFERENCE NO ONCHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON NOW ALL REPAIR HAS TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET BECAUSE THEY SAY NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED SONRHWY HAVE TO GUESS WHATBITNIS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FROM THIS MODEL VEHICLE EVEN HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WHICH I DIDN'T PARTAKE IN AND FORD JUST WON'T RECALL THIS STUPID VEHICLE. I TRUSTED FORD AND FINANCED THIS CAR FOR WHAT IT EVENTUALLY WILL GET US HURT OR EVEN KILLED.

THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTTERING WHEN DRIVING. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW THE CAR IS SAYING TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION NOW. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 MONTHS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. ROUSH FORD (5575 KEIN CIRCLE, COLUMBUS, OH) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

IM NOT SURE IF I HAVE SELECTED CORRECT OPTIONS. BUT ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I SLOW MY CAR AND THEY TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DOES NOT SPEED UP IMMEDIATELY IT TAKE FEW MINUTES. HENCE I HAVE TO ACCELERATE MORE TO MAKE THE CAR RUNNING. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE. QUITE DIFFICULT WHILE SWITCHING LANES ON HIGHWAYS OR TAKING TURNS. SPECIALLY DRIVING IN WINTER IS SCARY. I FIND THE CAR VERY UNPREDICTABLE. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICING CENTRE IN TORONTO CA AT DUFFERIN FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. AFTER INFORMING THEM THEY JUST DISREGARDED SAYING THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL FORD. THINKING IM A WOMEN AND DONT UNDERSTAND MUCH OF CARS I FORGOT ABOUT IT. EVEN WHEN IT RAINS WHILE APPLYING A BRAKE IT STARTLES AND DOESN'T STOP IMMEDIATELY. THIS ISSUE WAS ALSO DISCUSSED WITH THE FORD CENTRE AT DUFFERIN ST IN TORONTO. I SOMETIMES FEAR TO DRIVE MY CAR AS I HAVE MY CHILD AND PETS ALONG WITH ME. THIS IS ONGOING THING DAILY SO CANT SPECIFY WHICH DATE EXACTLY AS WHENEVER WE DRIVE WE HAVE THIS ISSUE.

FORD FIESTAS HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS DUE TO THE POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION FORD INSTALLED IN THE CARS. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO HAVE MAJOR DELAYED ACCELERATION, SPORADIC JERKING WHILE DRIVING, SHUDDERING UPON ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD TO DROVE OFF THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES, INCLUDING TONIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, TO AVOID BEING HIT WHILE MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS OR ROADS DUE TO THIS DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND I KNOW IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I'M IN AN ACCIDENT. FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN JUST REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WITH ANOTHER ONE THAT DOES THE SAME THING IN LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER BEING INSTALLED. DON'T WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO GET HURT OR KILLED DUE TO FORD'S NEGLACANCGE IN THEIR TERRIBLE DESIGN OF THESE VEHICLES.

DOOR LOCK CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MANY. ONLY 1 LOCK TO 4 DOORS THAT LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON IS IN DASHBOARD JUST BEFORE THE RADIO. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. KEY WAS NOT ON IGNITION I GOT IN VEHICLE SHUT THE DOOR AND LOCKED IT. I MISPLACED MY KEYS INSIDE CAR I TRIED GETTING OUT BY PRESSING UNLOCK.WHILE THE IGNITION WAS OFF AND VEHICLE DID NOT UNLOCK NO SOUND NOTHIN. I PANICKED NONE OF THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN UNTIL I FOUND KEY AND TURNED IGNITION TO OPEN DOORS. SOMETIMES IT DOES OPEN BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE IF MY CHILD WOULD GET STUCK IN THE CAR FOR NOT HAVING DOOR LOCKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KUNES COUNTRY FORD STATELINE SUPERSTORE OF ANTIOCH (847-395-3900, LOCATED AT 104 ROUTE 173, ANTIOCH, IL 60002) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH ACCELERATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY ROUGH WHEN SHIFTING, HESITATING, SKIPPING, DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY OR EASILY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND BEEN TOLD OTHER TRANSMISSIONS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ON NOVEMBER 3 2019 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MAINTENANCE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE WARNING MESSAGE SAID TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY

MY CAR HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT AM STILL HAVING ISSUES, EVEN AFTER ALL THE SERVICES AND NOW I AM OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY & THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS DUE TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN THE FORD FIESTAS. I WAS FIRST TOLD IT WAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY BUT TURNS OUT THEY JUST EXTENDED IT TO 150,000 MILES, WHICH I WAS BARELY OVER. I EXPERIENCED LUNGING FORWARD, LOSS OF POWER AND WHAT SOUNDS LIKE METAL SCRAPING AGAINST METAL.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN TRASH EVERY SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS CAR SERVICED SO MANY TIMES FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT REASONS. MY COMPLAINT TODAY IS THE COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT PLUS IT IS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATER. ANY SUGGESTIONS? HAS ANY ONE ELSE COMPLAINED? IF YOU CHECK THE HISTORY ON THIS CAR YOU WILL FIND ALL THE TROUBLE I HAVE HAD TO ADDRESS?

4/2019 FOUND OUT ABOUT DOOR RECALL. QUIRK FORD SAID THEY FIXED ALL 4 DOORS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 9/2016 HOWEVER 4/2019 MY BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE AND I COULD NOT LOCK THE DOOR. IT KEPT OPENING WHILE DRIVING. FIXED IT. 10/19 MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THE CABLE IN THE DOOR BROKE AS WELL. KEPT OPENING WHEN DRIVING EVEN THOUGH I TIED IT WITH A CORD. NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE DOORS PRIOR TO THE LATCHES FAILING. GOT THIS FIXED I AM AFRAID THIS MAY HAPPEN WITH THE OTHER DOORS AND RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I FEEL THEY ARE STILL USING DEFECTIVE LATCHES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS, INCLUDING THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS, ILLUMINATED AND CONTINUOUSLY FLASHED. ALSO, THE RPMS ERRONEOUSLY REVVED HIGH. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. RED HILL FORD (602 MAIN ST, RED HILL, PA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-24520897. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

LOW LAMP HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AT NIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE TO GET HEAD LAMPS REPLACED, HAD TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC RUN AND FOUND THAT THE FUSE AND FUSE BOX WERE CORRODED TO THE POINT OF NEEDING REPLACED.

RECEIVED A COSTUMER SERVICE LETTER (15B22/19N07) STATING ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION TCM AND TO BRING CAR INTO DEALER FOR EVALUATION/FIX. ONCE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD WE NEEDED TO PAY $200 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST OF THE CAR TO SEE IF IT IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE SUCH AS SKIPPING GEARS, LOSS OF POWER AND THE CAR EVEN STALLING OUT. IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION I FEEL I AS A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A DIME TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM. I AM AWARE OF A LARGE NEWS STORY THAT INVOLVED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES RESULTING IN SEVERAL DEATHS DUE TO ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND THE "SERVICE IMMEDIATELY" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

IT WAS DETERMINED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE NETWORK WIRING. *JS

STILL HAVING PROBLEMS SHAKING AND SHUDDERING. LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY.

MY VEHICLE KEEP LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. THEN SLOWLY BUT SURELY, I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. THE CAR WOULD "SHUDDER" IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED RUNNING LOUD. FINALLY, I THINK BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE FLUID LEAK DESPITE ME CONTINUOUSLY ADDING FLUID, THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. I HAD ASKED AROUND AND WAS TOLD MY GEARBOX NEEDED TO BE OILED AND HAVE THE OIL CHANGED, GEAR SHIFT NEEDED REPAIR OR THE INPUT OR OUTPUT FOR THE FRONT END NEEDED REPAIRING.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR SHUTTERS THEN IT LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING

THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT WITH "ENGINE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW" MESSAGE APPEARING ON THE DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT WILL SPORADICALLY COME ON AND GO OFF. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AFTER READING VARIOUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED, ONLY TSB'S. THERE ARE PENDING LAWSUITS AS WELL - FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR A KNOWN ISSUE AT $350+ THIS NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS UNSTABLE, AND UNSAFE. IF FORD WON'T FIX THIS, I WILL BE FORCED TO FIND AN ATTORNEY.

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR SINCE 2017 AND I WAS THE 5TH OWNER BY 43K MILES DUE TO THE ISSUES THIS CAR HAS HAD. ITS NOW WORKING ON ITS 4TH CLUTCH REPLACEMENT SINCE 43K MILES AND IT ONLY HAS 99400K MILES ON IT . IT NOW HAS A DISTINCT WHINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND FORD JUST CONTINUES TO KICK ME OUT THE DOOR LIKE NOTHINGS WRONG . THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME LEFT AND RIGHT FOR SOMETHING THAT ISNT MY ISSUE . I ALSO HAVE INCLUDED THE WARRANTY REPAIR HISTORY ON THE VEHICLE

VEHICLE SHAKES AND SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION. IT HAS LOUD NOISE AND DECREASED SPEED WHILE ON RAMPS OR INCLINES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A LOT AND WOULD OVERHEAT WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS ALSO A FLUID LEAK UNDER THE VEHICLE.

LOCKS FLEW OPEN AGAIN WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME THE LOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DOOR OPENED SUDDENLY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS CAR. I REPORTED IT BUT IT SEEMS THERE WAS NO FEEDBACK FROM THIS WEBSITE EITHER. NOBODY CALLED OR EMAILED.

TRANSMISSION JERKS AND SHUDDERS WHEN THE CAR GETS HOT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY AND WHEN THE CAR GOES UPHILL IT ROLLS BACKWARDS.

DELAYED SHIFT AT TAKEOFF; SHUDDER AND SLOW SPEEDS AT ACCELERATION. VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE; SHUDDERS, AND RATTLES. *RECALL REPROGRAM OF PCM AND TCM TWICE

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR OTHERWISE, MY CAR'S ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY JERK AND SLOW DOWN. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 30MPH. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN SLAMMED INTO SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TWICE AND HAD THE GAS PEDAL REPLACED AS THE COMPUTER PICKS UP A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE CHIP AND THE COMPUTER. AND BOTH TIMES THE NEW PART HAS FAILED. I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD, AND A DANGEROUS ONE CONSIDERING FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM

WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY PASSENGER DOOR OPENED AS IT HAD NOT LATCHED. MECHANISM APPARENTLY BROKE FOR NO REASON AND DOOR WILL NOT LATCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEWEY FORD (3055 SE DELAWARE AVE, ANKENY, IA 50021, 515-963-9575) WHERE THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED THREE OR FOUR TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND CRACKLES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON.

THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH ON MY 2013 FORD FIESTA SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE FORD GARAGE SAID IT WOULD BE $306.83 + TAX TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED. THE CURRENTLY BROKEN PART REPLACED A RECALLED DOOR LATCH IN 2016, BUT APPARENTLY ONLY HAD A 2 YEAR WARRANTY. THE DOOR LATCH BROKE FOR THE SAME REASON AS THE 2015-2016 RECALL, BUT THERE IS NO CURRENTLY SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART. I SHUT THE DOOR AND THOUGHT IT WAS CLOSED. AFTER DRIVING 4 MILES, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE/LATCH PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS BACKING UP WHEN THE ALERT DINGED ON THE DASH SAYING THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN. THE ALERT DID NOT SOUND WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED, WHICH CONCERNS ME THAT THE WIND CAUGHT THE OPENING OF THE DOOR WHILE GOING IN REVERSE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS JUST AS FAULTY AS THE RECALLED DOOR LATCH.

THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AS WELL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE CONTACT FELT AN EXPLOSION AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF ANY WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED BESIDES THE AIR BAG INDICATOR, WHICH WAS ALREADY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD OF ORANGE (1350 W. KATELLA AVENUE, ORANGE, CA 92867, 888-697-3989) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, JERKS, FALLS INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGH SPEEDS AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN LESS THAN A YEAR. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESES DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS

DPS6 TRANSMISSION SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL & NOT GOING BACK INTO GEAR ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS STARTING FROM WHEN I PURCHASED THE PRE-OWNED CAR, JANUARY 2019. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UNEVENLY IN LOWER GEARS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO SHUDDER WITH SLOWED ACCELERATION, THIS HAPPENS EVERY USE. SOMETIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS IS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY PERFORMED MAINTENANCE TO THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL FUSE BLOCK INSIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS RUSTED THROUGHOUT ENTIRE FUSE BLOCK. VEHICLE SPORADICALLY FAILS TO START, DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP DOES NOT WORK, AND AIR CONDITIONING IS BLOWING HOT AIR.

THE CAR HAS DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS AND HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING PROPERLY

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE CAR STALLING WHEN ACCELERATING WHILE TRYING TO COMPLETE TURNS IN TRAFFIC DURING TURN SIGNALS. I HAVE AT ONE POINT A SITUATION AT A STOP LIGHT WHERE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND CAR WENT FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. ADDITIONALLY SINCE ALMOST THE BEGINNING OF THE VEHICLE IT HAS RUN ROUGH, SOMETIMES HAVING DIFFICULTY CHANGING GEARS, MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WHERE IT STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING ON INTERSTATE. HAD 2 DIFFERENT REPAIRS TO REVIEW PROBLEM, INCLUDING FORD COMPUTER FIX THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP, BUT DID NOT. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THESE INSTANCES. INSTANCE I DEMOTED ON CALENDAR INVOLVED VEHICLE STALLING AT TURNS WHICH HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL

A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE SOMETIMES WHILE OTHER TIMES IT WOULD ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. WAS TAKEN BACK TO WAYNE AKERS FORD WHERE WE PURCHASED AND TOLD THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT COULD NOT BE FIXED UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY NON FUNCTIONING. HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES SINCE. THEN I BROUGHT IT TO AL PACKER FORD WEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR NO ACCELERATION WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR THE ISSUES BUT I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION MET FORD'S DEFINITION OF DEFECT OR DEFUNCT. MY 17YR OLD SON DRIVES THIS CAR AND IT IS NOT SAFE.

MULTIPLE ISSUE'S WITH MY FORD FIESTA (2013) TRANSMISSION. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALER TO GET THE TCM RE-PROGRAMMED ABOUT 3 TIMES AND HAD IT REPLACED TWICE. TAKEN IT BACK FOR THE SHUTTERING ISSUE.CAR WOULD STALL AFTER MOVING FORWARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP. HAVE HAD THE CLUTCHES REPLACED IN IT. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN ON JULY 5TH 2019 FOR AN ISSUE WITH IT SLAMMING INTO REVERSE. WAS TOLD IT WAS READY ABOUT A WEEK LATER ON JULY 11TH. AFTER PAYING $60, THE SERVICE GUY TELLS ME IT WILL NOT GO INTO DRIVE AFTER LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE. I KEEP CALLING AND KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR A TOOL TO COME IN TO TRY AND GET INTO DRIVE. TODAY IS JULY 24TH 2019 AND STILL NO CAR.

TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY SLIPS. TRANSMISSION SURGES AND STALLS DAILY. THE TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY COMPLETELY WENT OUT 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE AND WAS REPLACED - THE TRANSMISSION NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. THIS CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE ON 4 OCCASIONS AND LEFT SERVICE WITH THE SAME OR WORSE SYMPTOMS. EARNHARDT FORD IN CHANDLER, AZ STATED IT WAS FIXED EACH TIME AND PRETENDED THEY DID NOT FEEL THE SLIPS, SURGES AND STALLS WHEN TEST DROVE WITH ME AFTER SERVICE EACH TIME. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY WERE GOING TO DO. **I DO NOT HAVE SERVICE DATES WITH ME AT THIS TIME - THE DATE IN "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" IS A GUESSTIMATE OF THE TIME AROUND SERVICING.

FORD FIESTA TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN A LONG STANDING FORD CUSTOMER AND HAVE TRIED TO STAND BYE THE COMPANY BUT I CAN NO LONGER BE SILENT REGARDING MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR REPEATABILITY REPAIRED, THE CAR HAS PUT ME AT RISK MULTIPLE TIMES, FORD HAS NOT BEEN TRUTHFUL WITH ME ALONG THE WAY. I HAVE COMMUNICATED DIRECTLY TO FORD MY CONCERNS AND THEY HAVE LEFT ME WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE NOR SHOULD I TRY TO DUMP ON SOME UNSUSPECTING PERSON. THE COMPANY, COURT SYSTEM AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THESE CARS ASAP. THIS IS WRONG AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE, IF THIS INFORMATION NEEDS TO GO TO ANOTHER FEDERAL AGENCY, PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH THEM. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DEFECTIVE SAFETY HAZARD SINCE DAY ONE SINCE I BOUGHT IT, 8/22/13 AND IT HAS NOR WILL IT EVER BE RIGHT. PLEASE GET INVOLVED WITH THIS SYSTEMATIC SAFETY FAILURE.

STARTED THE CAR ON ONE HOT AND HUMID DAY AND, WHILE WAITING FOR MY WIFE AND AUNT AT A DRIVEWAY AND WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GEAR SHIFTER, I SAW THE GEAR DISPLAY MOMENTARILY JUMPED FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO PARK ON THE DISPLAY PANEL. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS ODD. THE CAR HAD ALREADY UNDERGONE THREE TRANSMISSION OVERHAULS BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED SO I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT PLAGUED THE CAR, FROM GRINDING GEARS TO SHUDDERING AND SLOW SHIFTING IN LOW SPEED OR AT AN INCLINE, ALL I HAD EXPERIENCED BEFORE. BUT THE SLIPPING GEAR WAS NEW. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AT FIRST AND DROVE OFF WHEN MY WIFE AND AUNT GOT ON. AT THE SECOND STOP SIGN, THE GEAR SLIPPED MOMENT AFTER I ACCELERATED FOLLOWING THE STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL ' NO ABNORMAL SOUND, NO WARNING MESSAGE, NO ENGINE LIGHT ON OR BLINKING. THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THERE WAS NO MORE POWER TO THE WHEELS. ONLY THEN DID I NOTICE THE GEAR DISPLAY SHOWED THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL, BUT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS STILL IN DRIVE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND US. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED MOVING THE GEAR SHIFTER BUT IT WAS STUCK IN DRIVE WHILE THE GEAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TRIED AGAIN, TO NO AVAIL. I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO DRIVE, AND THE GEAR COOPERATED. I TURNED AROUND AND GOT BACK TO HOME SAFELY. I HAD COPED WITH ALL OF THE EARLIER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, THE TROUBLE OF GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY, AND EVEN ADJUSTED MY DRIVING HABIT WITH THE UNIQUE TEMPERAMENT OF THIS CAR. HOWEVER, WITH THE GEAR SLIPPING FROM DRIVE WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING, I DID NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. WE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE GEAR HAD SLIPPED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2012 IT HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO FORD THEY WOULD TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT OR THAT IT WAS SOMETHING I DID. I TOOK IT BACK IN A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT IT STARTED BACK UP SHORTLY AFTER. SO I JUST STOPPED COMPLAINING ABOUT IT SINCE IT SEEMS IT'S A WILD GOOSE CHANCE. ALSO MY STEREO HAS COMPLETELY CUT OUT AND I'VE HAD IT CHECKED AND MY MECHANIC CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A ANYTHING WRONG WITH OR WHY IT HAS CUT OUT AND IT'S BEEN A YEAR I STILL HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

07I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES OF HESITATION, SURGES, BUCKS, JERKS ON ACCELERATION. GOT ERROR MESSAGE "GETTING HOT, PULL OVER AND SHUT CAR OFF". ON LONG TRIP TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN DRIVING AT 40-50 MPH IT WOULD GO OUT OF GEAR AN SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH THEN IT WOULD GO BACK INTO GEAR AND SPEED UP AGAIN. CLUTCH ADAPTIVE NEEDED TO PERFORM A RELEARN. SHIFTS ROUGH OR JERKY WHILE DRIVING, SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY TAKEN TO ROKSTAD FORD MERCURY (476600 US-95, PONDERAY, ID 83852, (208) 263-3127) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,183.

TAMARA RECALL...I AM NOT SURE OF THE YEAR OF THE FIESTA, BUT I RENTED IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO AT LAX AND NOTICED TO MY ALARM THAT IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING AS I DROVE THROUGH MANHATTAN BEACH. FINALLY, IT JUST PLAIN DIED OUT AND I COASTED IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD THE RENTAL GUY COME AND GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR AND RIDE THE PITIFUL FIESTA BACK TO THE AIRPORT, ASSUREDLY IN THE TOW TRUCK. IT WAS THE MOST PITIFUL PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED FROM A RENTAL AND RUINED MY OPINION OF THE AGENCY WHO RENTED IT.

I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER OWNING THE CAR A FEW MONTHS. AT ONLY 30K MILES. THANK GOD IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT INTO A DEALER SINCE BECAUSE OF THE OTHER COMMENTS AND COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN REGARDING THIS CAR. THE CAR CONTINUES TO JERK FORWARD WHEN MOVING FROM A STOP. THE CAR CONSTANTLY SHUDDERS WHEN DRIVING. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. I EVEN HAD TO PULL THE FUSE OUT FOR THE RADIO BECAUSE THE SPEAKERS WOULD CONSTANTLY POP, EVEN WITH THE RADIO OFF. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE EVEN WITH NEW TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS CAR. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REPLACED, THE SAME PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT CONTINUE. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME NOR THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT FIXABLE. I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT I FEEL UNSAFE IN UNTIL I CANNOT ANYMORE. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. ON THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" FIELD, I PUT TODAY'S DATE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION STUTTERS VIOLENTLY BEFORE 'KICKING INTO GEAR' AND ACCELERATING LIKE EXPECTED. IT'S EVERYDAY.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW AND IN THE TIME IT'S BEEN BUILT IT'S WORKING ON ITS SIXTH DPS6 CLUTCH REPLACEMENT ! AVERAGE FAILURE IS EVERY 20,000 MILES ! IT NOW HAS 96500 ON IT AND THE WARRANTY IS CLOSE TO EXPIRING AND FORD SHOWS NO INTEREST IN COVERAGE AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF SAID WARRANTY AT 100K MILES

MANY DANGEROUS INSTANCES WHEN THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, JERKS, LURCHES WHEN "ACCELERATING". HAD THE CAR IN FOR "REPAIRS" WELL OVER 10 TIMES AND IT IS NOT FIXED. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR AND THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS AT RISK EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK.. I HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS WHEN DRIVING WITH THE CONSIDERATION THAT THE CAR MAY NOT ACCELERATE DUE TO KNOW TRANSMISSION ISSUES. MANY TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION I COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION. LUCKY I HAVEN'T BEEN INJURED DUE TO THESE KNOWN FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS THAT EXECUTIVES AT FORD RELEASED ANYWAY. . WHEN TURNING, 99% OF THE TIME THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER UNTIL THE CAR STRAIGHTENS OUT. LURCHING, LUNGING UNCONTROLLABLLY AND CONSTANTLY. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PUTTING THE FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS THE CAR REVS UP. LURCHING, LUNGING, BUMPING, GRINDING. FORDS EXPLANATION IS THAT IT IS A HYBRID AUTO/MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION ARE NOT USED TO IT. NO. I HAVE OWNED MANY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. THE DESIGN IS FAULTY AND THEY SHOULD BE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PUTTING PROFITS OVER THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT AND DROVE IT HOME. I AM PART OF THE LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD WITH THE TRANSMISSION CASE

I'M GETTING U3003, AND JUST DRIVING LESS THEN 40 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR JUST SHUTTER-AN LOSE POWER HAVE TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD. THEN WOULD SIT AWHILE TRY TO RESTART IT GIVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I ALMOST GOT HIT ON THE ROAD ON CITY STREET IN MOTION. HAD BUY ANOTHER CAR IT SIT IN PARKING LOT NOW.

TRANSMISSION IS JUNK AND THE RADIO DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE AND HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOWS

SECOND DOOR LATCH BROKE IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS APART FROM THE LAST DOOR LATCH FAILURE. SUBMITTED COMPLAINT NUMBER 11222994, ABOUT REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILURE. TOOK THAT IN TO BE FIXED JULY 3RD. NOW MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS BROKEN. HAVEN'T SEEN AN INVESTIGATION STARTED AND HAVE NOT BEEN REACHED TO ABOUT MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. I AM NOW WORRIED ABOUT MY CHILD AND AM SCARED EVERY TIME I PUT HER IN THE BACK SEAT I'M WONDERING WHEN WILL THIS DOOR BREAK? WHEN WILL FORD START AN INVESTIGATION AND GET THIS FIXED? PUT OUT ANOTHER RECALL! AND WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO FIX MY VEHICLE THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TIL THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP! I DON'T WANT TO WAIT THREE WEEKS FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED ASAP!

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING HAD THE RECALL FIX ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND IT IS SLIPPING AGAIN AND IT IS DOING THIS WHEN I AM DRIVING IT

BACK IN MAY, I GOT A CAR FROM ABILENE USED CAR SALES THAT I AM CURRENTLY LEASING FROM. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION, IT WOULD TAKE MULTIPLE SLAMS TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED. AFTER A COUPLE MORE WEEKS, THE BACK RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING. ANOTHER WEEK LATER, THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS ALSO BEING DIFFICULT TO CLOSE. SO, WITHIN A MONTH, 3 OF THE 4 DOORS WOULD REQUIRE HARD SLAMMING TO CLOSE. SOMETIMES THEY WOULDN'T CLOSE AT ALL & BECAUSE OF THIS, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN MY OWN VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS & HELP ME GET THIS FIXED

I`VE HAD PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SINCE PURCHASE CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION

DELAY IN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CAN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO PASS ON TWO-LANE ROADS BECAUSE I CAN'T TRUST THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. IN CRUISE CONTROL, SOMETIMES IT WON'T DECELERATE (ALTHOUGH IT RESPONDS TO BRAKING). THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW DEAD AND MUST BE REPLACED DESPITE THE CAR HAVING ONLY ~85K MILES. IT WAS SERVICED BY FORD UNDER THE POWER TRAIN RECALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO. I DON'T EXPECT ACTION ON THIS. I'M JUST FRUSTRATED TO HAVE TO SPEND $2K ON A 2013 CAR. I REFUSE TO LET FORD WORK ON MY CAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED IT. I TRUST MY MECHANIC MORE.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, STALLS, ERACTIC STARTS, EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSION NOISE AND STALLS OUT WITH RPMS GOING TO OVER 5 WHILE THE CAR STALLS. WHEN STALL HAPPENS IT TAKES ABOUT 40 SECOND TO RE ENGAGE THEN THAT A HARD SHIFT. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO THE DEALER AND FORD BOTH KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM AND NEITHER ADVISE ME OF IT . IF I HAD KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR. IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR FORD HAS REPLACED THE CLUTCH TWICE AND IT IS IN NEED OF A THRIRD REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL - ON TUESDAY 25TH OF JUNE, THECAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND ACTING A LITTLE WEIRD. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I GAVE IT GAS IT WENT INTO TURTLE MODE AND CUT OFF. I TOWED IT TO DARCARS FORD IN LAHNAM, MD. THE TWO WARRANTIES ON THE VEHICLE EXPIRED SO I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS TELLING ME THEY DON'T REPLACE CLUTCH BARREN- SHIFT FORK A- SHIFT FORK B AND SEAT BELT LIGHT WHICH IS ON. NOW I HAFT TO PAY 180.00 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT STILL NEEDS ANOTHER TEST FOR THE SEAT BELT LIGHT. WHAT AM I TO DO IF FORD DOES NOT HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT CATCH AND FLIES OPEN. LUCKILY WHEN THE LATCH MALFUNCTIONED I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT DRIVING. I LEFT MY CAR IN MY WORK PARKING LOT IN THE AM AND CAME OUT OF WORK IN THE PM TO REALIZE THAT MY CAR DOOR DID NOT LATCH WHEN I SHUT IT AND NO LONGER LATCHES. TOOK TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (LANCE CUNNINGHAM FORD - KNOXVILLE TN) AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 456.00 TO FIX. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM (SAFETY RECALL 15S16) I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY. THE CAR HAS 45,600 MILES ON IT.

MY 2013 FORD FIESTA DOORS HAVE BECOME UNLATCHED 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE THE HIGHWAY, THE SECOND TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET, THE THIRD TIME WHEN I MADE A RIGHT TURN ON THE CITY STREET AND THE 4TH TIME DRIVING HOME ON THE CITY STREET. I HAVE HAD TO ATTACH CORDS TO MY DOORS TO KEEP THEM CLOSED EACH TIME THEY HAVE SWUNG OPEN. I TOOK THE CAR TO GWINNETT PLACE FORD 3 TIMES BUT THE 4TH TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO ANGELA KRAUS FORD TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN IN THIS VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR LATCH FAILING. INSTEAD OF FORD GETTING ME OUT THAT VEHICLE AND REPLACING IT WITH ANOTHER WITH THE SAME VALUE THEY INSTEAD TREATED ME TWICE AS IF I WAS A REGULAR CUSTOMER TRADING IN THE CAR AND I WAS ASKED TO PUT MONEY DOWN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ADD A CO-SIGNER, WHICH I DON'T HAVE SO I WAS DENIED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM US AUTO SALES AND THEY TOO ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE AWAY FROM THE LOT WITH CORDS HOLDING MY DOOR TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T APPROVE ME FOR ANOTHER CAR. I REFUSE TO PUT MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF BACK IN THAT DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW, THE CAR IS JUST SITTING IN MY PARKING LOT WITH CORDS KEEPING THE DOOR CLOSED.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WON'T LATCH. WHEN CAR IS IN LOCKED MODE, YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE. WHEN IN MOTION DOOR WILL SWING OPEN.*DT CONSUMER STATED BOTH LATCHES WERE REPLACED, REAR PASSENGER AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH. VIN IS INVALID.*JB

WHILE ON STREETS, TRANSMISSION NOISES LIKE ROCKS, CLICKING, AND JERKING OCCURS CONSTANTLY CONTRIBUTING TO FAILURE TO PROCEED SMOOTHLY FROM A STOP AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN IN PREPARATION OF STOPPING. AT TIMES, THERE IS A SUDDEN SLIPPING WITH JERKING FORWARD, ESPECIALLY IF TRAFFIC AHEAD IS SUDDENLY SLOWING DRAMATICALLY. AT TIMES, WHILE SLOWING TO A FULL STOP, THE VEHICLE "JUMPS" FORWARD THEN STOPS. WHILE SLOWLY TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT OR A U-TURN, THE CAR DELIBERATELY BUCKS AND HESITATES BEFORE COMPLETING THE TURN. THESE CONDITIONS ARE A DAY TO DAY COMMON OCCURRENCE. SPEED OR THE LENGTH OF DISTANCE OR TIME IN USE DOES NOT CHANGE THE STATED CONDITIONS, SOUNDS, OR OCCURRENCES. IT HAS BECOME SCARY TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR OR MORE ON THE FREEWAY AND WHEN I EXIT THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKING CONDITIONS ARE SO MAGNIFIED THAT SLOWING AT THE END OF A RAMP TO STOP IS FORCEFUL. NOT NORMAL. I HAVE HAD THE BEGINNING OF THESE PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 6/17/15. OF COURSE THE PROBLEMS, THE DETECTION OF NOISES AND SUDDEN UNUSUAL MOVEMENTS DID NOT OCCUR ALL AT ONCE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO KINGMAN'S FORD DEALER FOR ALL MAINTENANCE WHILE IN AZ AND TO A FORD DEALER IN CA. I ASKED THAT MY DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS I HEARD AND FELT BE WRITTEN IN THE REPORT OR COMPLAINT SECTION OF EVERY SERVICE REPAIR FORM BUT IT WAS NEVER DONE. ON 4/8/2016, FORD DEALER IN KINGMAN, AZ CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED THE NECESSARY PARTS TO CORRECT ALL THE TRANSMISSION AND OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS I WAS EXPERIENCING AND GAVE ME A 2 PAGE POWERSHIFT 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS FORM DATED 9/27/2012 AND IT CONTAINED THE "COMMON SOUNDS A DRIVER MAY NOTICE" REGARDING: DOUBLE CLICKING METAL SOUNDS, COAST DOWN WHINE, CLICKING WHEN ENGINE TURNED OFF, LOW SPEED GRINDING. DOCUMENTATION IS WITH FORD.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CELLA FORD (3210 DOCTOR M.L.K. JR BLVD, NEW BERN, NC 28562, (252) 638-4011) REPAIRED THE VEHICLE PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE DOOR LATCHES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILED AGAIN AND WAS REPLACED FOR FREE. OVER TIME, EACH OF THE DOOR LATCHES THAT WERE REPLACED PER THE RECALL ALSO FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN PREPARING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND AGAIN, WHEN TRYING TO STOP, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD.

I AM GETTING A LOUD STATIC POPPING SOUND FROM THE RADIO.. RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON .LIGHTS INSIDE THE DASHBOARD FLASH ON AND OFF. HEADLIGHTS DIM..THE NOISE IS VERY LOUD AND SCARY. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTING NO SPECIAL TIME .. AT TIMES MAKES THE NOISE AND THE CAR ISN'T EVEN ON. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM DRIVING AND AT TIMES WHEN I OPEN THE CAR DOOR. I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2013 FORD FIESTA SE. I TAKE MY CAR FOR REGULAR MAINTENENCE. I REPLACED MY FRONT AND REAR BRAKES IN DECEMBER. A MONTH OR TWO AGO I FELT AN ANOMALY IN MY SUSPENSION AND BRAKES. THE CAR KEPT FEELING LIKE HAD A SHIMMY WHILE DRIVING. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE. I HAD MY VEHICLE VISUALLY INSPECTED AND NOTHING WAS NOTED. I FINALLY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO KENDRICKS BODY SHOP IN AIKEN, SC AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKES HAD FAILED CAUSING THEM TO GO THROUGH THE REAR BACKING PLATE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED AND IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. ERROR CODE P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD (BANK 1); REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS SUGGESTED. FORD IS CLAIMING THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER THE EPA.GOV WEBSITE STATES THE CLEAN AIR ACT CARS ARE TO HAVE AN 8 YR/80K MILES WARRANTY. FORD DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF THIS LAW.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE WHEN SHIFTED INTO ANY GEAR. THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GO INTO GEAR AND THE CAR WILL NO MOVE. SOMETIMES THE SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF "PARK". SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START. TURNING THE KEY FROM "OFF" TO "ON" MAY, OR MAY NOT, ALLOW THE CAR TO START AND THE GO INTO GEAR. THIS CAN HAPPENED AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, AND THEN SHIFTING INTO "D" (DRIVE). IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND THEN THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE.

THE HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. I WAS OUT SHOPPING AND FINISHED AT JUST ABOUT SUNSET. I WENT TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON BUT NO LIGHTS BUT ALL THE RUNNING LIGHTS WERE ON. I TURNED THE SWITCH ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY STILL NO HEADLIGHTS; TRIED THE HIGH BEAMS, THEY WORKED. I DROVE HOME WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND WAS CONSTANTLY FLASHED BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED THE FUSES THEN THE RELAYS FOR LOW BEAM. FOUND THE PROBLEM - RELAY R11 HAD A BADLY CORRODED PRONG WHICH BROKE OFF IN THE BOX ITSELF. I CAN NOT PULL THE CORRODED PRONG OUT - NOR CAN I DRIVE A NIGHT UNTIL THE ENTIRE UNIT IS REPLACED. MY WIFE IS ON HOSPICE AND THIS COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT A WORST TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AT ALL, BUT NONE THE LESS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT AGAINST CLINTON FAMILY FORD IN ROCKHILL SC MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON IT WHILE UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY BUT IT WAS IN SERVICE THERE TWICE BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED NOW THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS OUT AND I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WON'T FIX IT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 1887.28 DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT WASN'T FIXED WHILE UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY MY NUMBER IS [XXX] IS MY NAME THEIR NUMBER IS 803 366 3161 MY EMAIL IS [XXX] PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING, REPLACED BULBS WITH NO LUCK. CHECKED FUSES AND IT WAS BLOWN, REPLACED FUSE AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES THEN BLEW THE FUSE AGAIN. EVERY TIME WE REPLACE THE FUSE IT BLOWS WITHIN AN HOUR. RADIO STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD MAKE VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. WE FINALLY HAD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR THE RADIO TO MAKE IT STOP. SO NOW THERE IS NO WORKING RADIO AS WE ARE AFRAID TO REPLACE THE FUSE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS LEMON DAILY AS IT IS HER ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK. SHE STILL OWES MORE FOR THE CAR THAN SHE COULD GET IF SHE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN ON SOMETHING ELSE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A LEMON AND TAKEN OFF THE ROADS. SHE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE SHE BOUGHT IT, BUT SHE DIDN'T GET IT NEW SO BY THE TIME SHE BOUGHT IT OF COURSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY AND NOW SHE IS STUCK WITH IT. ALSO, SHE PREVIOUSLY HAD TO PUT IT IN THE SHOP DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SHE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ON TAKE OFF THE CAR WOULDN'T GO, RPMS WERE AROUND 3000 AND ALL WARNING/MESSAGE LIGHTS WENT OFF AT THE SAME TIME. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HER CAR THAT WE NEVER KNEW ABOUT WHEN WE PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALER.

PARKED AND ENGINE OFF: WHEN REFUELING, THE GAS BUILDS UP, AS IT "BURPS" GAS SPILLS OUT UNDER THE CAR WHEEL AND ON TO THE PAVEMENTS. THE REFUELING TAKES FOREVER, SINCE WE PURCHASED IT - WE SMELLED OUR HANDS & SHOES SMELLING LIKE GAS, BUT DIDN'T CONNECT IT IMMEDIATELY TO FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE SINCE IT WAS A NEW CAR.

SENSOR ON MY CAR IS SAYING MY TRUNK IS OPEN AND IT'S NOT. ALSO, WHEN I UNLOCK MY CAR THE TRUNK POPS OPEN. INTERIOR LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF.

MY TCS GOES OFF WITHOUT ME SETTING THIS FEATURE AND THEN MY CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS EVEN WHEN IT'S IN THE DRIVE GEAR.

FORD FIESTA 2013 DOOR LACTH NOT WORKING. DOOR FLEW OPEN AS DRIVER WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY. DRIVER HAD TO HOLD DOOR AND DRIVE TO SAFETY, THEN TIE THE DOOR WITH A STRING TO GO HOME. FORD TED BRITT CHANTILLY SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO FIX, AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO FIX. THE RECALL NOTICE IS ON THE INTERNET RECALL NO. 15S16. NOTICE SAYS ALL SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT FORD HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE, SAYING VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED

PURGE VALVE CAUSED FUEL TANK TO BE SUCKED IN 3/4 OF AN INCH. WHILE DRIVING I HAVE SURGING AND WHEN STOPPED THE IDLE IS ERRATIC AND BOUNCES BETWEEN 1000 TO 2000 RPM. CAUSES CODE P0300 TO COME AND GO AND ALSO P0497 TO COME AND GO. EXTREMELY HARD FOR DEALERSHIPS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURE PROOF OF ISSUE.

HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. BROUGHT IT TO AUTO PARTS STORE. MANAGER STATED THAT RELAY FUSE FOR THE LOW BEAMS WAS FULLY CORRODED AND ONE OF THE PRONGS BROKE OFF IN THE FUSE BOX. HE SAID THE FUSE BOX LOOKS POORLY DESIGNED AND ALLOWS SAND AND WATER TO ENTER. PRONG STUCK IN FUSE BOX -- NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO GET OUT - CAN'T REACH IT WITH A TWEEZERS OR ANYTHING ELSE. I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST WHERE THEY PUT SALT ON THE ROADS WHICH MAY BE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY BE A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NONE IN THE USA. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

SHIFTING FROM FIRST AND SECOND GEAR IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER. TAKING OFF AND GOING TO SHIFT IS GETTING WHERE IT FEELS STUCK. IT HAPPENS A LOT WHEN I'M TAKING OFF.

TRANSMISSION KICKS OUT OF GEAR WHEN GOING INTO 3RD GEAR. MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

THE CAR RANDOMLY DOES NOT START THIS ALL BEGAN AFTER MY TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING BEING UPDATED AND NOW MY PCM IS FAILING AND SOMETIMES THEY CAR EXCELLERATES AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGHER THAN NORMAL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED. RANDOM CODES APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR. ONE TIME MY CAR TURNED OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING.

IT WAS GIVING A ROARING NOICE AND THE RADIO DONT WORK AND ALOT OF BUUUM NOICE WETHER IT WAS PARK IN THE GARAGE OR PARKING LOT IT IS LIKE A FIRE WORK WHEN YOU LITE IT. FORD SEND ME A NOTICE OF THE RECALL,BUT BECOUSE I MOVE I CANT FIND THE NOTICE OF THE RECALL

REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NO LONGER LATCHES AND FALLS OPEN WHEN TURNING A CORNER. EVEN IF PARKED ON A SLOPE THE DOOR WILL HANG OPEN

THERE ARE ISSUES WITH BOTH THE RADIO AND THE MESSAGE SCREEN ON THE DASHBOARD. THE RADIO PROBLEMS ARE INDEED A SAFETY ISSUES. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. AT FIRST, THE RADIO WOULD JUST INTERMITTENLY GO OUT AND WOULD COME BACK ON AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. HOWEVER, AS TIME WENT ON, EXTREMELY LOUD STATIC WOULD BURST FROM THE SPEAKERS EVERY TIME THE RADIO WENT OUT, WHETHER OR NOT KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITIOD. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING - WHICH IS A TERRIFYING DISTRACTION WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. THE RADIO HAS BEEN OUT FOR WEEKS NOW - IT HAS COME BACK ONCE OR TWICE, BUT ALWAYS QUICKLY GOES BACK OUT, WITH THAT LOUD STATIC BLAST. BEYOND THAT LOUD BLAST...THERE HAS ALSO BEEN INSTANCES WHERE THE STATIC SIMPLY CONTINUES - AGAIN THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING AND IT'S SO DISTRACTING IT REALLY COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT - I FEEL LUCKY THAT HASN'T HAPPENED. I ALSO HAVE A FEW VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE. IN ADDITION TO THE RADIO, RANDOM MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN, I.E DRIVER/PASSENGER DOOR OPEN WHILE NOT ACTUALLY OPEN. THE "CRITICAL ENGINE FAILURE" MESSAGE HAS DISPLAYED MORE THAN ONCE WHEN NOTHING WAS ACTUALLY WRONG - AGAIN, A TERRIFYING DISTRACTION WHEN TRAVELING (ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AS I HAVE BEEN WHEN THAT MESSAGE APPEARS.) FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, THIS IS AN INSANELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2013 FORD FIESTAS. AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE RADIO CAME IN AT $280 WITHOUT LABOR - THAT'S REALLY INSANE FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY A DESIGN/SYSTEM FLAW SPECIFIC TO THIS MAKE AND MODEL, NOT SIMPLY THE VEHICLE I SPECIFICALLY OWN. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF THE MESSAGE DISPLAY (UNFORTUNATELY NOT THE CRITICAL ENGINE FAILURE MESSAGE) BUT AGAIN, I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THE RADIO ISSUE THAT I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE (ALSO THE DATE BELOW IS RANDOM - IT'S HAPPENED MANY TIMES ON DIFFERENT OCCAISIONS)

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A HOUSTON HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MAY OF 2017, I LATE SEPTEMBER 2017, EARLY OCTOBER 2017, I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY 'TRACTION CONTROL', 'ABS', & 'ANTI-SKID' LIGHTS CAME ON. MY RADIO CUT IN & OUT, MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD CUT OFF AND ON/DIM WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE GEARS IN MY CAR TO SHIFT. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO FORD. I TOOK IT TO FORD, THEY DIAGNOSED IT, I NEEDED A NEW 'TCM' WHICH IS THE COMPUTER SYSTEM INSIDE OF THE CAR. THE WARRANTY COVERED IT, & I GOT A NEW ONE. AFTER THAT, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, SO I GOT ONE, PUT IT IN, THE CAR RAN GOOD FOR A MONTH OR SO. THE 'TCM' SLIPPED AGAIN, & I WAS BACK TO SQUARE ONE. NOVEMBER 2017 IS THEN THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS REALLY BEGAN; INTERIOR DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER, & MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SHORTLY AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. MY FOOT WAS PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T SPEED UP, ALL YOU COULD HEAR WAS THE ENGINE RUNNING. I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF, AND TURN MY CAR BACK ON, TO CONTINUE DRIVING. AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO FORD, TWO NEW BATTERIES, & TWO NEW ALTERNATORS, I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR HAVING THIS CAR, & THEY ARE STILL UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE, & FIX THE PROBLEM. IN A YEAR SPAN, I HAVE BEEN CAR-LESS FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS (COLLECTIVELY), HAVE TAKEN MULTIPLE UBER RIDES, TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP(S), AND NO PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE ON MY 2013 FORD FIESTA!

ON 9/20/18, WHILE STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION FOR A RED LIGHT, UPON ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR SIMPLY WOULD NOT MOVE. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF TO RESTART THINKING IT WOULD RESET ITSELF SOMEHOW AND INSTEAD NOT ONLY WOULD IT NOT RESTART BUT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK SO THAT I COULD PUSH IT OUT OF THE TRAFFIC. I HAD TO CALL THE LOCAL POLICE TO WAIT IN THE ROAD WITH LIGHTS FLASHING AT THE INTERSECTION TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED AND UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK COULD ARRIVE. THE "ENGINE MALFUNCTION" LIGHT COMES ON SO OFTEN (WHICH USUALLY GETS A "REPROGRAMMING" AT THE DEALER) THAT IT HAS BECOME UNNOTICEABLE, BUT I DO NOT RECALL SEEING IT BEFORE BECOMING IMMOBILE. IT WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FORD ISSUED (TCM PART, I BELIEVE). THIS CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR "WARRANTIED" REPAIRS INVOLVING REPROGRAMMING, THROTTLE, GAS PEDAL SENSOR, CLUTCHES, ETC. ON MANY MANY OCCASIONS. IN THE PAST, I HAVE TAKEN IT IN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RETURNING LIGHT AND WHEN IT HAS SHUDDERED AND LOST POWER MOMENTARILY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE (ONCE EVEN AS A TRACTOR TRAILER APPROACHED). TRAFFIC HAS HAD TO SHIFT LANES TO AVOID HITTING MY CAR. IT HAS SHUDDERED IN INTERSECTIONS AND ONRAMPS BEFORE, BUT NEVER BECAME COMPLETELY IMMOBILE WITHOUT RECOVERY. IF THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. I CANNOT EXPERIENCE THE FEAR AND HELPLESSNESS THAT OCCURRED LAST WEEK AGAIN, SO TWO DAYS LATER I WENT AND PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE (NOT FORD) AND ACCEPTED A HUGE LOSS ON THE TRADE-IN VALUE BECAUSE I VALUE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND MY LIFE FAR MORE. MY MANY SERVICES HAVE ALL BEEN THROUGH FORD AND ARE AVAILABLE IN MY SERVICE RECORD AT FORD.

ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2018, MY FORD FIESTA (2013 SE 4 DR) RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR SUDDENLY, AND INEXPLICABLY, FAILED TO LATCH, POSING A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. HOWEVER, I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WITH A STRAP WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEIR RESPONSE WAS "THESE THINGS GIVE OUT FROM TIME TO TIME". I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT AND CONDUCTED ONLINE RESEARCH INTO THE PERSISTENT PROBLEM OF FIESTA DOOR LATCH FAILURES. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR'S MAIN NUMBER AND WAS TOLD MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR RECALL # 15S16 (DOOR LATCH FAILURES). HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS PRODUCED AT THE SAME FACTORY, AND DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD, AS THE EFFECTED RECALLED FIESTA VEHICLES. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON AUGUST 14, 2012, IN CUAUTITLAN, MEXICO. IN 2015, FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUED RECALL 15S16 FOR FIESTAS PRODUCED AT THE CUAUTITLAN PRODUCTION SITE FOR CARS DATING FEB 1, 2012 - MAY 31, 2013. I AM NOT CERTAIN WHAT FORD'S CRITERIA IS FOR SELECTING CERTAIN VINS FOR RECALL. HOWEVER, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS EFFECTED MANY FIESTA DRIVERS. I BELIEVE FORD HAS OMITTED SOME VINS FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL LIST, AND MUST ADD EVERY VIN PRODUCED AT THAT CUAUTITLAN MEXICO PLANT DURING THE TIME FRAME SPECIFIED IN THE INITIAL RECALL FOR DOOR LATCH FAILURES. WITHOUT DOING SO, MYSELF AND OTHER CONSUMERS CANNOT BRING OUR VEHICLES INTO DEALERSHIPS FOR SAFETY INSPECTION AND PART REPLACEMENTS TO PREVENT LATCH FAILURES, AND, THEREFORE, REMAIN AT RISK OF OUR FIESTAS POSING A SAFETY ISSUE.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR LATCH WILL NOT SECURE. MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE SEAT WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY MODEL YEAR FOR THIS DEFECT, BUT DEALER STATES MY VIN IS NOT AMONG THOSE THAT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE. VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN FAILURE OCCURED.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE WONT CLOSE. HATCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DEALER SAID IT WILL COST AROUND $500 TO REPLACE. I SAW AN ARTICLE OF HATCHES ON RECALL FROM 2012 TO 2014.

THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THAT IT LOST ALL ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET. I CAN TO A STOP TURNED IT OFF THEN IT WAS FINE (THIS HAPPENED TWICE). WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE AND WHILE CHANGING GEARS IT WOULD START TO GRIND SO I TOOK IT IN AND THE REPLACED THE DUAL CLUTCH BUT IT STILL DID IT AFTER. NOW IT HAS STARTED TO JUMP AFTER ALL STOPS NO MATTER IT BEING 0 - MILES AWAY IT WOULD KEEPS LOSING POWER AND HAS A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION POPPING UP AND WONT STAY RUNNING.

IN 2016 DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING, FORD FIXED DOOR LATCHES,ALL DOORS, UNDER A RECALL. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE REAR DOORS FAILED AGAIN. I WAS CHARGED TO REPAIR THE LATCH. ON SEPT 1, 2018 THE PASSENGERS BACK DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND WILL NOT LATCH AGAIN. CALLED DEALER AND THEY STATED I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET, PART IS OUT OF STOCK.

IN 11/2015 THE DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED ON MY 2013 FORD FIESTA PER A SAFETY RECALL. IN 5/2018 THE DOOR LATCH ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE FAILED, MY DAUGHTER, WHO WAS GOING TO SCHOOL AWAY FROM HOME, WAS PARKED ON THE STREET AND AS SOON AS SHE PULLED INTO TRAFFIC HER DOOR FLEW OPEN AND WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I DID HAVE THE LATCH REPLACED AT A REPAIR SHOP SINCE FORD WASN'T ABLE TO FIX IT RIGHT AWAY AND IT NEEDED TO BE FIXED ASAP. WHEN MY DAUGHTER RETURNED HOME FROM SCHOOL A FEW WEEKS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FAULTY LATCH WANTING TO KNOW HOW IT COULD HAVE FAILED AND EXPRESSING MY CONCERN OF THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD NO ANSWER FOR THE FAILURE AND ALSO SAID THAT THE "WARRANTY ON THE RECALL PART HAD ELAPSED AND ONCE THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED ANY OBLIGATION ON FORD'S PART WAS OVER". I FOUND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND THEY SUGGESTED I VOICE MY COMPLAINTS TO FORD OWNER RELATIONS, WHICH I DID. I CONTACTED THEM AND VOICED MY CONCERN ABOUT THE RECALL PART FAILING AFTER 2 1/2 YEARS. I SAID THAT SOMETHING MUST STILL BE WRONG WITH THE LATCHES FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I ALSO REQUESTED ASSURANCE OF THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE GOING FORWARD AND ASKING IF THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN AND THIS TIME WITH A MORE SERIOUS OUTCOME? I ALSO ASKED SINCE THE FAILED LATCH WAS REPLACED AT AN OUTSIDE SHOP AND NOT FORD WOULD FORD BE RESPONSIBLE IF THAT ONE WERE TO FAIL? THEIR RESPONSE WAS, "UNFORTUNATELY, I AM UNABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE INFORMATION YOU ARE REQUESTING". THEY THEN SUGGESTED CONTACTING NHTSA. I LET THEM KNOW THAT I WAS VERY UPSET THAT NOBODY WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR GIVE ME A REASON FOR THE FAILED LATCH OR CAN ASSURE ME OF THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. THEY APOLOGIZED AND SAID THEY WOULD DOCUMENT MY SATISFACTION.*DT CONSUMER STATED DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT NO COST.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR INADVERTENTLY OPENED. THE PASSENGER HAD TO MANUALLY HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE THE CONTACT DROVE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND RECOMMENDED THE CONTACT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER DOOR LATCH SAFETY RECALL IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AFTER RIGHT REAR DOOR (PASSENGER) WOULD NOT SHUT AND LATCH FAILED. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED RECALL THEY STATE THEY REPLACED ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES HOWEVER THE LEFT REAR DOOR (DRIVER) IS NOW HAVING THE SAME LATCH ISSUE. DOOR WILL NOT SHUT AND NEEDS TO BE HELD CLOSED WITH DEVICES TO REMAIN SHUT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. 2 DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO PERFORM ANOTHER REPLACEMENT WITHOUT FEE. DOCUMENT ARE AVAILABLE IF NEEDED HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT SCANNED INTO THIS COMPUTER AND CAN NOT BE UPLOADED AT THIS TIME.

HELLO THERE! IT'S BEEN A REALLY LONG STORY, BUT MY CAR HAS HAD A HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW ON FORD'S DOLLAR. IT'S BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES NOW AND IT'S EVEN WORSE. IT'S NON DRIVABLE. THERE ARE TWO OPEN RECALLS FOR IT, 14M01 AND 14M02. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WE'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH MANUFACTURING, BUT IT'S SO BROKEN THEY CAN'T PULL THOSE CODES. THEY SAY THAT I NEED TO PAY FOR A TEAR DOWN (AT LEAST 1,200) SO THEY CAN DIAGNOSE IT TO SEE IF THEY'LL REIMBURSE ME. I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THAT AND I'D LIKE FORD TO PAY FOR IT, BUT THEY WON'T. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE WITH THEM, BUT REACHED THE END OF THE LINE. CAN YOU HELP?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALL AMERICAN FORD (3698 US 9, OLD BRIDGE, NEW JERSEY 08857) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. *TT

WHILE DRIVING AIR CONDITIONING, RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS CUTS OUT INTERMITTENTLY AND WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. TURN TCS SYSTEM OFF? IS ALSO DISPLAYED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SINCE THIS CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IT HAPPENS WHEN CLUTCH IS BEING ENGAGED.

I OPENED MY BACK PASSENGER SEAT AND CLOSED IT. WHEN I CLOSED IT, IT DIDNT CLOSE. I CANT CLOSE MY DOOR NOW.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK LATCH FAILED WHILE DRIVING. SON WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT AT TIME OF FAILURE AND ALMOST FEEL OUT. DOOR LATCH WOULD NO LONGER SECURE. DOOR LATCH FAILED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN. VEHICLE VIN NOT COVERED UNDER EXISTING FORD RECALL FROM 2015.

EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER DURING LIGHT ACCELERATION. CAR WILL SOMETIMES SLIP AND CAUSE CAR TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN WHILE TAKING OFF FROM TRAFFIC LIGHT. IN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE CAR WILL NEED TO BACK UP TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP FORCING CAR TO BE UNABLE TO REVERSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE AND THE CONTACT PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE SAME INDICATOR AND MESSAGE REMAINED ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ENGAGE IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO JOE MYERS FORD (16634 NORTH WEST FREEWAY, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77040) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND CLUTCH ACTUATOR MOTOR FAILED, AND OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE VALVE GASKET AREA. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN JULY OF 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

WHILE DRIVING "ENGINE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW" LIGHT COMES ON, THEN STOPS ACCELERATING IN MOTION. TURNED VEHICLE OFF/ON LIGHT GOES OUT, CONTINUE DRIVING AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. DID ALL MY CHECKS AND BALANCES, SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURURES ISSUE. HIGH SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRAVELING. HAD TRANSMISSION SHUTTER SEAL REPLACED TWICE IN 2 YRS BY FORD DEALERSHIP FREE OF CHARGE.

ALL 4 DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED ON 23 MAY 2015 UNDER RECALL #15S16. AT THAT TIME, THE CAR HAD 44,592 MILES. ON MONDAY, 23 APRIL 2018, THE DRIVER'S DOOR REFUSED TO LATCH. WHEN YOU TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IF FLEW OPEN AGAIN. THE CAR NOW HAS 66754 MILES. IT SEEMS THAT THE ORIGINAL LATCHES WERE BETTER THAN THE REPLACEMENT LATCHES. FORTUNATELY, THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE THE HOUSE. WE DUCT TAPED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE, NO RECALL, MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE REPLACEMENT, FORD DENIES RESPONSIBILITY. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS I CASE OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TO FIX IT, IT IS COSTING ME OVER $350.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LATCH SHUT, PROMPTING THE DASHBOARD TO READ THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN.

MY THROTTLE BODY WITH 28000 MILES ON IT MALFUNCTIONED AND SENT CAR INTO LIMP MODE LEAVING IT UNDRIVEABLE AND FORD WON'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY

2013 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, DRIVE SHAFT, TRANSMISSION REPAIRS AND DOOR LATCH RECALL ISSUES. *SMD *JS

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY FIESTA EVER SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I GOT IT BACK IN 2015. WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR STARTS TO JERK LIKE ITS NOT TRANSITIONING INTO THE NEXT GEAR CORRECTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND EVEN THE FORD IN MY AREA AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ONE OF MY CO WORKERS HAS THE SAME CAR AND SAYS THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO HER ALL THE TIME AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY MORE SO WHEN YOU ARE A STOP AND BEGIN TO SPEED UP. ITS A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING AND IT MAKES FOR A BAD RIDE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR AND YOU ALL START JERKING BECAUSE OF THE CAR. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE !!!

STRANGE EGG TYPE SMELL COMING FROM VENTS WHEN I TURN ON HEATER, DIFFICULT TO BREATH IN CAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTING SUDDENLY SOUNDING LIKE FIREWORKS WERE GOING OFF. LOUD, AND SCARY NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT. CONTINUED TO BLAIR STARTLING LOUD SOUNDS FOR PROLONGED TIME.

THE NATURAL VACUUM LEAK DETECTION PUMP ON MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED . A REVIEW ON LINE SHOWS THAT THIS DEVICE WHICH IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM IS CONTINUOUSLY BACKORDERED FOR MONTHS. INDICATIING A HIGH FAILURE RATE. THIS PUMP IS ESSENTIAL IN THAT IT PERMITS THE CAR TO BE FILLED AT A GAS PUMP. IN FAILURE YOU CAN ONLY FILL A GALLON AT A TIME BEFORE THE VALVE IN IT CLOSED AND YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE AND START AGAIN.

FSA # 14E08; FSA # 14M01; FSA # 14M02 APPROX. MILEAGE AT TIME OF FIRST COMPLAINT WAS 1500 MILES. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 119,XXX JANUARY 2018 APPROXIMATE BEGINNING OF COMPLAINTS IS JANUARY 2013. COMPLAINTS ARE: -EXCESSIVE HESITATION / SHUDDER / "WHIPLASH-LIKE" FEELING WHEN SLOW AND NORMAL ACCELERATION IS APPLIED DURING TAKE OFF, IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. -EXCESSIVE GRINDING AND OCCASIONAL CLUNKING NOISE DURING SLOW AND NORMAL ACCELERATION AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. -AS OF JULY 2017, OCCASIONAL GRINDING WITH "CLANKING" NOISE OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP; TYPICALLY AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THAN AT THE FIRST STOP. -MAY 2014 TO CURRENT, RED FLUID (TRANSMISSION FLUID) FOUND ON GROUND AFTER BEING PARKED FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS. FLUID SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM A SHAFT SEAL; AT TIME OF OBSERVATION, CV SHAFT WAS FOUND TO HAVE EXCESSIVE PLAY ((THE SERVICE COMPANY AT THE TIME HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE AIR AND I OBSERVED THE CV SHAFT ROTATING MORE THAN 1 TO 1 1/2 INCHES (APPROXIMATELY) WHEN NO PLAY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESENT; I COULD ALSO HEAR THE BEARINGS GRINDING OR RUBBING.)) -VEHICLE SEEMS TO RANDOMLY LOSE POWER DURING FIRST IGNITION STARTUP. I WOULD START THE CAR, A FEW SECONDS LATER IT WOULD HAVE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, I WOULD THAN RESTART IT, AND IT WOULD OPERATE AS NORMAL. APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF THIS OCCURRING IS NO MORE THAN 5 TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2015. -MOST RECENT COMPLAINT, OCTOBER 2017, WHILE ACCELERATING FOR HIGHWAY ON RAMP, VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS (SPEED AT TIME OF POWER LOSS WAS APPROX. 57MPH). I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND VEHICLE "SHIFTED" OR "JUMPED" TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE MADE A FAST RECOVERY ON ITS OWN AND CONTINUED AS NORMAL. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NOT HARSH; THERE WAS SLIGHT RAIN / MIST AND ABOVE 55 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

ONGOING ISSUE - KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION, YOU HEAR LOUD STATIC COMING FROM RADIO/AUDIO SYSTEM. PLEASE NOTE THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING OR PARKED - KEY NOT IN IGNITION. THE RADIO NO LONGER FUNCTIONS - YOU HEAR 'CRACKING AND POPPING' REGULARLY AND SOMETIMES THE VOLUME IS STARTLING DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AUDIO SYSTEM STARTS BLARING STATIC, YOU JUMP REACTING TO THE NOISE. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA AND MANY OTHER STATES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN MANY BLOGS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. INTERVENTION BY NHTSA IS NEEDED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT IN AN ACCIDENT FROM BEING DISTRACTED BY THIS BLARING NOISE. SOME CONSUMERS CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE OR REMOVE THE SYSTEMS. ADDITIONALLY DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM YOU WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT SINCE THE AIR VENTS ARE ATTACHED TO THE SYSTEM. PLEASE NOTE WHILE THESE ELECTRICAL/AUDIO STATIC PROBLEMS ARE GOING ON, THE SYNC SYSTEM HASN'T BEEN FULLY OPERATIONAL EITHER. MY STATE DOES NOT ALLOW DRIVING WITH CELLPHONES SO AN UNAVAILABLE SYNC SYSTEM IS NOT ONLY A PAIN BUT PREVENTS COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.

MY TRACTION CONTROL OFF KEEPS COMING ON WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO AND MY BLUE TOOTH ON THE STEERING WHEEL WON'T WORK . WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF COMES ON I LOOSE POWER IN MY PEDAL AND ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANNA GO.

THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE ESPECIALLY IN LOWER GEARS. ITS CAUSING A UNSAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I HAVE OWNED MY FORD FIESTA FOR YEARS NOW (BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW) . NOW I HAVE ALMOST 120,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH "RESET" SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I HAVE ALSO BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES WHEN FORD - FREE OF CHARGE DECIDED TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH AND COMPONENTS ALL TOGETHER. THE LAST REPLACEMENT WHICH OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PERMANENT FIX . UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT A FIX AT ALL . ITS SAD TO SAY BUT I HAVE GOTTEN USED TO THE DEFECT IN THE CAR AT THIS POINT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT WITH MOMENTS WHEN THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT WONT MOVE ! . ALMOST ALL THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ALWAYS COMMENT ON THE NOISE - CLANKING OF THE CLUTCH AND ALWAYS THE BUCKING SOUND. THEY USUALLY SAY A COMMENT LIKE "DAMN YOU NEED A NEW CAR" OR "ITS JUNK MAN". AT THIS POINT AS I GET MORE MILES ON THE CAR I BOUGHT IT WITH THE INTENT OF OWNING THE CAR FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. HOWEVER, WITH THE POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS BEING UNSAFE IT MAKES IT HARD. I TRIED TO CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE OF THE ISSUE JUST THE OTHER DAY AND I HAVE AN OPEN CASE NUMBER. BUT THEY REFEREED ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS PLACED A 150K MILE WARRANTY ON THE PARTS. BUT MY ARGUMENT IS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE 150K MILES AND IT DOES IT TO THE POINT WHERE IT CANT MOVE ANYMORE. OR BETTER YET WHAT IF IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT FROM THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THE POWER TRAIN. ATTACHED IS WHAT MY FORD OWNERS .COM FOR MY CAR STATES ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, SHUDDERED, HESITATED, AND JERKED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SUNRISE FORD OF FONTANA (16005 VALLEY BLVD, FONTANA, CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LATCH SHUT. THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVE WAY AND WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR IT WOULD NOT CLOSE.

THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND CAR CONTINUES TO HESITATE ,BUCKS, LURCHES FORWARD, AND ENGINE MAKES BUZZING SOUND FEELS LIKE IT'S DRAGGING WHEN DRIVING. MOST RECENTLY AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR ACCELERATED AND LURCHED FORWARD I HAD TWO FEET ON THE BRAKE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

THE CAR SLIPS AND SUDDENLY GOES OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME UP SO IT HAS TO BE LEFT FOR FEW MINUTES AND IT WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN. I GOT A REAL NOTICE FROM A DEALERSHIP WHICH I TOOK TO THEM AND THEY CALLED ME BACK THAT IT WAS FIXED BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I SENT SEVERAL EMAILS TO THEM BUT GOT NO RESPONSE BACK FROM THEM.

THE PASSENGER DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN THE FREEWAY, THERE WAS NO PASSENGER RIDING AT THE TIME, AND THE CAR DOOR WAS LOCKED. THE LATCH CAME LOOSE. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS ABOUT 43,200 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A SUDDEN SCREECHING, POPPING AND CRACKING SOUNDS STARTLED ME TO THE POINT I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR, AFTER PARKING THE CAR ON A SIDE STREET AND TURNING IT COMPLETELY OFF THE SOUNDS CONTINUED ON. THE CAR HAS BLUETOOTH AND SYNC WHICH WILL NOT WORK TO TURN OFF THE SOUNDS. BOTH SYSTEMS ARE DOWN. I HAD SOMEONE LOOK AT THE CAR BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING LOOKED WRONG THEY DID HOWEVER CHECK ALL THE FUSES AND SPEAKERS WITH CONFUSED ME. I CHECKED FOR RECALL ON THE CAR BUT FOUND NONE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, I DID FIND LOTS OF ONLINE BLOGS AND WEBSITES TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HOPE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, IT REALLY IS DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THIS CONDITION

MY DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT. I CAN CLOSE IT BUT THE LATCH DOESN'T LOCK AND I'LL HAVE TO DUCT TAPE THE DOOR CLOSED TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT HOME WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR TO GET STUFF OUT THE BACKSEAT, THEN TRIED TO CLOSE IT AND IT WOULD NOT LOCK. I'VE RARELY USED THIS REAR PASSENGER DOOR SINCE I'M THE ONLY USER OF THIS VEHICLE AND USE THE HATCHBACK TRUNK WITH THE SEATS DOWN, SO I REACH IN OUT THROUGH THE TRUNK MOSTLY.

IT STARTED SMOKING ALL OF A SUDDEN FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT REVEALING THE REAL PROBLEMS IN THE RECALL NOTICE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS SHE WAS STOPPING THE VEHICLE, ANOTHER MOTORIST ALERTED THE CONTACT OF FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END OF HER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT AND HER PASSENGERS WERE ABLE TO EXIT SAFELY. THE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF FIRE OR POLICE REPORT WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, DEALER, OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS TO HER INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,053. ...UPDATED 10/19/17 *BF *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE SHUTTER SYSTEM INSPECTED. AFTER LEAVING THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER TSB: 14E08 TO HAVE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMED AT FREEWAY FORD (9700 LYNDALE AVE S, BLOOMINGTON, MN 55420 (952) 888-9481). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY MY CAR BEGAN SMOKING AND BEGAN TO OVERHEAT WHICH CAUSED A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD THAT SPRAYED OIL ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF MY HOOD SPARKING A SMALL FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE COMPUTER BEGAN TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND DISPLAYED A WARNING MESSAGE THAT STATED SUDDEN LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE, PLEASE PREPARE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. JUST AS I READ THAT MESSAGE THE BRAKES STARTED TO LOCK AND THE STEERING BECAME HARDER TO TURN AS I TRIED TO GET OFF THE NEXT EXIT FROM THE EXPRESSWAY. I REINJURED MY BROKEN ANKLE IN TRYING TO KEEP STOP AND CONTROL THE CAR. ONCE PULLED OVER THE CAR CONTINUED TO SMOKE AND NO LONGER STARTED. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AND IT WAS DENIED AS THEY FOUND THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO RECALL MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL BREAKDOWN STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND ON THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY MEDIACENTER WEBSITE THIS RECALL NOTICE DATE 3/29/17. MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THIS LIST BUT TO THE LETTER IS WHAT I EXPERIENCED: FORD ISSUES SAFETY RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2013-15 FORD ESCAPE, FORD FIESTA ST, FORD FUSION AND FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 1.6-LITER GTDI VEHICLES FOR UNDER-HOOD FIRE RISK FORD IS ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR APPROXIMATELY 230,000 2014 FORD ESCAPE, 2014-15 FORD FIESTA ST, 2013-14 FORD FUSION AND 2013-15 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 1.6-LITER GTDI ENGINES. FORD'S INVESTIGATION OF THESE VEHICLES HAS IDENTIFIED A RISK OF UNDER-HOOD FIRES. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, A LACK OF COOLANT CIRCULATION COULD CAUSE AN ENGINE TO OVERHEAT, RESULTING IN A CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD CAN RESULT IN A PRESSURIZED OIL LEAK. OIL THAT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH A HOT ENGINE SURFACE INCREASES THE RISK OF A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FORD IS AWARE OF 29 REPORTS OF FIRE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. NO INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING, SHAKING. DELAYED ACCELERATION AND SOME ACCELERATION ON DECELERATION. HORRIBLE ESPECIALLY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. CAR JUMPS AND LURCHES FORWARD ON ACCELERATION

THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES. JAN 20, 2016. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OPENED IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. THE "LATCH" WOULD NOT ALLOW DOOR TO STAY CLOSED. RECALL #15S16/15V-246. WE RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING US WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. LATCH WAS FIXED IN JANUARY OF 2016. JULY 21ST 2017, REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOOR, WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, FLUNG OPEN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET, DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH AND STAY CLOSED. FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR WHEN WE FIRST BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT WAS OUT OF THE 1 YEAR WARRANTY. JULY 25, 2017 WERE QUOTED $300 TO GET THE LATCH FIXED. AFTER COMPLAINING WITH FORD AND FORD SERVICE MANAGER WE WERE QUOTED $150, ONLY 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THAT TELLS ME FORD IS NOT CONFIDENT IN THERE PRODUCT OR REPAIR TO ONLY GIVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THE LATCHES WERE APPARENTLY THE NEW AND IMPROVED BUT IT MALFUNCTIONED 17 MONTHS LATER, UNACCEPTABLE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AS OF AUGUST 1, 2017 FOR THE REPLACED LATCHES.

DOOR IS HAVING TROUBLE LATCHING. SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE THE DOOR IS CLOSES AND COMES UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING. TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES HAS RESULTED IN A DENT IN THE DOOR AND BROKEN INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE.

2013 FORD FIESTA HAD DOOR LATCHES REPLACED IN JANUARY 2016 UNDER RECALL. NO PROBLEMS HAD OCCURRED WITH THE DOORS PREVIOUSLY ON THIS VEHICLE. 18 MONTHS LATER, THE REPLACED DOOR LATCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE FAILED LATCH WAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR WHICH IS RARELY USED.

CAR SHAKES AND SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATES. AT TIMES IT JERKS AND HESITATES WHEN STOPPED. WHEN MOVING FORWARD SOUNDS LIKE GEARS GRINDING , IT IS AUTOMATIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT 4 TIMES TO FORD IN COCOA FLORIDA WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND TO BE REPAIRED AND IT STILL MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS AND JERKING! I AM VERY CAUTIOUS TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC, AFRAID FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO BE RIDING IN IT.

VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER WITH NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND MAINTAIN. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN CAR IN MONTHS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALER 4 TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY ARE FIXING THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT DOES THE SAME THING RIGHT AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK. AVOID THIS VEHICLE DO NOT BUY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC SIGN, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR INDEPENDENTLY OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER, ADVANTAGE FORD LINCOLN 1031 CENTRAL AVENUE, DURANTE, CA 91010 INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN AUGUST OF 2017. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (STRUCTURE), HOWEVER THE PARTS TO REMEDY THE VEHICLE WHERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CASE WAS BEING REVIEWED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILED. IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. I HAD TO USE A THIN PIECE OF PLASTIC AND LASSO IT BETWEEN THE DOOR, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT METAL PART OF THE HEADREST, AND ALONG THE DOOR HANDLE. DESPITE DOING THIS THE DOOR REMAINED OPENED (AS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL) AND THE INSIDE DOME LIGHTS WOULD NOT CUTOFF. I NOTICED THE DOOR WAS OPEN JUST AS I HAD BEGAN PULLING OFF. I HOPPED OUT SHUT THE DOOR GOT BACK IN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ONLY TO SEE THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS STILL DISPLAYING THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN. WHAT'S RIDICULOUS IS ON SEPT 6, 2016 I WENT INTO THE DEALER (MARSHALL FORD WERE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 13 MILES ON IT) BECAUSE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DID THE EXACT SAME THING WHICH WAS UNDER RECALL 15S16. WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE MANGER 'JIM" AT MARSHALL FORD, 1075 WEST TERRA LANE,O'FALLON,MO 63366 THAT THE "REPLACEMENT PART HAD A 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY'..I'M WITHIN THE 1 YR TIMEFRAME BUT HAVE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE COMPONENT. I HAD TO GET IT FIXED SO I CAN GET AROUND AND WAS TOLD BY "RANDOLF" AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER RELATIONS (800-392-3673) TO KEEP THE RECEIPT INCASE FORD ISSUES ANOTHER RECALL. THIS IS BEYOND UNSAFE AND RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. UPON DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND CHECKED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BY OPENING AND CLOSING IT; HOWEVER, THE DOOR FAILED TO LATCH. THE CONTACT HAD TO TIE THE DOOR SHUT WITH A PLASTIC STRAP LIKE MATERIAL. THE CONTACT DROVE TO MARSHALL FORD (1075 W TERRA LN, O'FALLON, MO 63366 (636) 978-3673) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILED DOOR LATCH. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016, WHERE IT FAILED TO LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARSHALL FORD AGAIN AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER'S WORK ORDER ONLY STATED THAT ONE OF THE REAR DOORS WAS REPAIRED, NOT ALL FOUR DOORS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RETURN CALL FROM A SUPERVISOR. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILURE OCCURRED ON 9/8/2016 AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILURE OCCURRED ON 6/23/2017. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, HEADLIGHTS GO OFF, AND THE RADIO GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WARNING COMES ON RANDOMLY (PER THE MESSAGE BOARDS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL). IT'S BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS THEREFORE THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEMS.

ENGINE MALFUNCTION ERROR AND LOSS OF PERFORMANCE DUE TO MANUFACTOR DEFECT IN WIRE HARNESS. FORD CLAIMS THIS IS A ISSUE DONE DURING MANUFACTURING AND THE FIX IS TO RE WIRE THE HARNESS UNDER DASH BUT IS NOT COVERED DUE TO IT BEING A WIRING ISSUE. LOSS OF PERFORMANCE IN VEHICLE IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF DRIVING ON A FREE WAY OR OTHER ROADS AND YOU CAR LOSES MOST POWER. FORD HAS SAID THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT THE WORRY BUT IT IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE AND CONSUMERS JUST HAVE TO PAY AND HAVE IT FIXED WHICH IS COSTS IN THE THOUSANDS FOR THERE MANUFACTURING DEFECT.THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING OR JUST DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. IT HAPPENS NON STOP RANDOMLY AND HAS BEEN HAPPENIING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS WITH NO HELP FROM FORD TO FIX THE ISSUES.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS YOUR CAR DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE IT JOLTS AND STARTS NOT BURING GASOLINE ALL THE WAY IT ALSO WILL CAUSE SMOG ISSUES DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND YOU ALSO NEED TO PULL VEHICLE OVER WHERE EVER YOU ARE AT TO TURN IT OFF WAIT A FEW MINS AND THEN IT BACK ON SO YOU CAN KEEP DRIVING

THIS CAR HAS TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD AND THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE BRAKES. THE SOUND THAT MY CAR IS MAKING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BRAKES. MY CAR HESITATES, SHUDDERS, JERKS WHEN DRIVING. IT ALSO HAS A LOUD NOISE THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD ONCE BY FORD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE CLUTCH. NOW THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION. MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S A STICK SHIFT AND WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL AFTER STOPPING. SOMETIMES I CAN'T GET IT TO REACH THE SPEED I WANT AND IT HAS DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT THAT IS WHY I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD AGAIN. I HAVE VIDEOS WITH THE NOISE IT'S MAKING AND I HAVE EVEN PLAYED IT FOR THE PEOPLE AT FORD. DESPITE HAVING HEARD THE VIDEO AND HAVING DRIVEN MY CAR, THEY SAY IT'S FINE, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THE NOISE IS GETTING WORSE AND I FEEL LIKE IF I CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.

BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ON 12/22/2013 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FROM DAY 3 OF OWNING IT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT GRINDS, CLICKS AND MAKES HORRIBLY LOUD NOISES. IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN RAN OVER MANY TIMES. IT JERKS AND ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME EVENING TELLING IT TO. NOW AT APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES IT WILL NO LONGER EVEN START AND THE LIGHT SAYS "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW." THE WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COME ON AND OFF, PERIODICALLY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE THAT THEY PUT BAD TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL OF THESE NEW CARS AND WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE'S DEATH BEFORE SOMEONE DOES THE RIGHT THING IN THIS SITUATION?

I HAVE A 2013 FORD FIESTA SE AND MY CAR WILL NOT GAIN SPEED DUE TO THE CLUTCH ALSO THE CAR SHUTTERS AND SHAKES A LOT TAKING OFF, TURNING OR MOVING FROM A STOP LIGHT. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I CANNOT GAIN SPEED ENOUGH OR GO FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF SOMEONES WAY OR FOR ME TO GET ON THE HIGH WAY. WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND ALMOST HAS WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. MY RPMS GO UP TO AT LEAST 4 OR 5 BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT SHIFT AND THE LOSE OF POWER IS SO BAD THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ALMOST EACH TIME I MOVE FROM A STOP LIGHT AND I TAKE OFF TO GO UP A HILL. IT TAKES ME LONGER TO MOVE CAUSING PEOPLE TO ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE SENSE I GOT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.

I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE SEVERE SHAKE/SHUDDER OF THE VEHICLE WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE EITHER JERKING FORWARD OR BECOMING SLUGGISH WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ALSO, AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED ON THE TRANSMISSION BECOMING STUCK IN GEARS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THESE COMPLICATIONS HAVE HAPPENED MANY TIMES. FORD CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT THE CAR NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN DIFFERENTLY OR THAT THEY COULDN`T FIND A PROBLEM. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL AS THE INNER AND OUTER SEALS AND THE PCM/TCM HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED. ADAPTIVE LEARNING WAS ALSO PERFORMED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT AFFECTS MY ABILITY TO CONTROL MY SPEED, ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION WHICH IN RETURN COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

UPDATED 05/30/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. THERE WERE LOOSE WIRES ON THE STARTER. UPDATED 12/04/2017*JS

THE TRANSMISSION "JOLTS" AND IS NOT A SMOOTH CHANGE OF GEARS ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP AND MOVING UP THROUGH THE GEARING TO CRUISING. ITS A NASTY ADVENTURE TO GET TO CRUISING SPEED AND THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT NORMAL AS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING VEHICLES FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND THIS IS A FORD PROBLEM AND AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE I WOULD NOT PURCHASE FORD AGAIN

TRANSMISSION ISSUE HESITATES APON EXCELLERATION.. CLOSE TO STALLIMG EXSTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC @ STOP SIGN EXCELLERATING SITUATION TO MERGE INTO MOVING TRAFFIC HASBEEN AN PRBLOM FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP AT LEASR 3 TIMES FOR THIS COMPLAINT

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THEY ORIGINALLY HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHERE THEY WOULD NOT COME ON. ORIGINALLY IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING WHEN THE COURTESY FEATURE WAS USED. TONIGHT THEY STOPPED COMING ON PERIOD. I HAVE NOT USED THE COURTESY FEATURE FOR QUITE SOME TIME SINCE I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS CAUSING THE LOW BEAM ISSUE. AS I GOOGLE SEARCHED THE PROBLEM I AM FINDING THAT I AM NOT A LONE PROBLEM, THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVINFG THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL SHOULD LOOK INTO. NO LOW BEAMS BUT THE HIGH BEAMS AND OTHER LIGHTS WORK PERFECTLY FINE. THE CAR WAS INITIALLY PARKED WHEN I TURNED MY LIGHTS ON AND I IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED A LACK OF ANY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. DRIVING AND TRYING TO SWITCH BETWEEN LOW AND HIGH BEAM ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING AS IT APPEARS THE LOW BEAMS ARE OUT PERIOD. BULBS AND FUSES ARE ALL GOOD.

THE CAR STUTTERS UPON ACCELERATION INTERMITTENTLY. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE AND WILL BE GOING IN ONCE AGAIN. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN CLEANED UP AND REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT TCM'S ARE THE ISSUE. ON 2/15, MY DAUGHTER WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WHEN SHE TRIED TO GO; IT STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. SHE HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR TO GET IT MOVING ONCE AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSTANTLY RETURNING.

MY FORD FIESTA IT DOES NOT WORK RIGHT SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW. I WENT BACK TO FORD CAR DEALER THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE UNTIL A RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). MONTHS LATER, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN THE CONTACT REPLACING THE PART WITH THE SAME PART. THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR BECAME AJAR.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

THE CAR BOGS DOWN, IS SLOW SHIFTING IN GEAR AND AFTER COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALER AND WITH 30000 MILES IS BECOMING A POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK WHICH COULD HARM OF KILL THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AT 47,000. *CN

POWER FORD SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES HAVE PROBLEMS. HAVE 48000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AT 21000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. BUCKS WHEN YOU TAKE OFF FROM STOP AND WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON 101 AND IT DOES NOT GO I HAVE TO PUT INTO LOW TO GET ACROSS STREET. HAVE FRIENDS THAT WILL NOT RIDE WITH ME BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNSAFE. DEALER STATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. FORD SAYS A COMMON PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS CANNOT GET PARTS TO REPAIR FROM FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THERE WAS A WIND FLAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WITH HESITATION INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ISSUE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

MY "ENGINE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW" LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE HAS 30,300 MILES. TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WIRES FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE PANEL WERE "FRAYED." THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER ON HOW THIS OCCURRED BUT THAT IT WOULD COST $875.00. MY 3YR/36,000 WARRANTY IS UP. I DID TAKE IT IN FOR THE CHECK UP BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS OK. TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE SEEN THIS DURING THAT INSPECTION. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET IT FIXED BUT 30,300 MILES AND NO EXPLANATION ON HOW THE WIRES FRAYED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE NEAR THE RADIO. AT TIMES, THE RADIO FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE RADIO CONTINUED TO STAY ON AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT A FUSE BE DISCONNECTED, BUT THE CONTACT NEEDED A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE, A TRANSMISSION ERROR MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK FORWARD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT SEVERAL DIFFERENT REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS AT LEAST THE 3RD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH PHIL LONG FORD AS WELL AS THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR. AT FIRST PHIL LONG FORD TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THEN THEY SAID THE TRANSMISION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH THEY DID, AFTERWORDS I DROVE THE CAR AND IT CONTINUES TO JERK, SHUDDER, AND SPUTTER THROUGH GEARS AFTER A STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON HILLS. THE CAR HESITATES TO PICK UP SPEED AND THEN IT FEELS LIKE IT CATCHS THEN I GET JERKED BACK AS THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD. IT VARRIES DAY TO DAY SOME DAYS THE CAR RUNS SMOOTHER THAN OTHERS, THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON. OUT SIDE TEMPERATURE DOES NOT SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, HOWEVER WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP IT BECOMES MORE NOTICEABLE. PHIL LONG FORD TOOK THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE AND TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL AND I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE IT FOR AT LEAST 1000 MILES TO HAVE THE CAR 'LEARN' HOW I DRIVE. THEY SAID FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL AFTER THIS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE CAR HAS JUMPED INTO GEAR AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT A STOPLIGHT.

TRANSMISSION MADE DISTRACTING GRINDING NOISES AND DANGEROUS LUNGING LURCHING UNSTEADY INTERMITTENT MOVEMENTS DURING CITY DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER THE VEHICLE COOLED OFF. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO GIVE A VISUAL WARNING FOR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS ABOUT TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000.

THIS IS AT LEAST THE 3RD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH BEYER FORD AS WELL AS THE FORD DEALER NEAR MY PARENT'S HOUSE IN PA WHERE I OFTEN TRAVEL. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR. FORD TELLS ME THAT THE SYMPTOMS ARE 'NORMAL' AND WITH IN THE CORRECT RANGE BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN. FOR AWHILE NOW, THE CAR CONTINUES TO JERK, SHUDDER, AND SPUTTER THROUGH GEARS AFTER A STOP. CAR NOTICEABLY VIBRATES AND THERE ARE LOUD, RATTLING AND GRINDING NOISES ASSOCIATED WITH THE ISSUE ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY AN ISSUE ON HILLS. THE CAR HESITATES TO PICK UP SPEED AND SEEMS TO 'CATCH' FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN I GET JERKED BACK AS THE CAR TRIES TO MOVE FORWARD. SOME DAYS THE CAR RUNS SMOOTHER THAN OTHERS BUT THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THERE ARE MAJOR ISSUES. TEMPERATURE DOES NOT SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE-IT'S ACTUALLY MORE NOTICEABLE ONCE THE CAR HAS BEEN WARMED UP AND HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR AWHILE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT START OVER THE WEEKEND. THE BATTERY WAS FINE AND THE STARTER TURNED BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT FIRE. EVENTUALLY THE CAR DID START, BUT THE SHAKING AND GRINDING WAS EVEN MORE NOTICEABLE THAN USUAL.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP FOR MY DAUGHTER AS A CAR FOR COLLEGE. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN STUTTERING WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH AND REPROGRAM IT. AFTER ANOTHER PERIOD OF TIME THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING, AGAIN WE HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING REPROGRAMMED. 4 MONTHS LATER IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AS IT HESITATES AND SHUTTERS WHEN OPERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE SHUTTERING AND HESITATING IS VERY NOTICEABLE AT CITY DRIVING SPEEDS. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH WHY IS THIS NOT BEING LOOKED AT CLOSER BY FORD?

WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT DID NOT TURN ON AT ALL. THERE IS JUST A CLICKING NOISE, SO THE STARTER IS GOOD, HOWEVER THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I JUMPED STARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. MY INFORMATION SCREEN SAID, "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION PLEASE SERVICE NOW". THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN AT 4,000 RPMS BEFORE SHIFTING WHEN USUALLY IT'S SUPPOSED AND DID SHIFT AT 3,500 RPMS. AS I WOULD BRAKE AND BE UNDER 5MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND I WOULD HAVE TO SLAM MY BRAKES IN ORDER TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP AND AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK IT BACK HOME AND HAVEN'T DROVE IT SINCE. TODAY I TRIED TO UNLOCK MY CAR WITH MY WIRELESS KEY FOB AND THE DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK. MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER. ON THE FORD WEBSITE FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, IT SHOWS I HAVE FIELD SERVICE ACTIONS. FSA TITLE: TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER / TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT SEAL WARRANTY EXTENSION. 150,000/ 10 YEAR WARRANTY. FSA TITLE: TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. I HAVE LEARNED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE CAN END UP HAVING A SHORT AND YOUR CAR CAN SHUTTER WHEN IT SHIFTS AND IT CAN LOSE ALL POWER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN AUG 2013 CAR BEGAN HESITATING AND JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MORE THAN 4 OR 5 TIMES WITHIN 3 YEARS AND FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE LAST TIME IT TOOK ALMOST A WEEK TO GET THE PARTS AND TO REPLACED IT. THIS IS REALLY INCONVENIENT ESPECIALLY THE FIRST FEW TIMES THEY DID NOT PROVIDE NO LOANER. BUYING THIS CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF MONEY BECAUSE AS SOON AS THIS WARRANTY ENDS, I WILL END UP PAYING FOR THESE REPAIRS. FORD IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF REPLACING THE CLUTCH IF THERE IS STILL WARRANTY.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHILE ACCELERATING, IT FEELS AS THOUGH CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT SPUTTERING. INITIALLY CAR DRIFTED BACKWARD WHILE STOPPED ON A DECLINE. TRANSMISSION WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED, HAD MORE PROBLEMS AFTER REPAIRS, HAD TO REPLACE TWO FRONT TIRES, NOISE CAME FROM FRONT TIRES AND DASHBOARD VIBRATED. NOW TRANSMISSION IS SPUTTERING AGAIN WHILE ACCELERATING

WAS TOLD TPS WAS BAD VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND LOOSES POWER SHUTS OFF ON FREEWAY VERY DANGEROUS THE HOLE THROTTLE BOD MUST BE PURCHASED TO FIX BUT WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD RUNS FINE AFTER 3 TIME WHEN IT WAS DOING IT AGAIN WENT STRAIGHT TO DEALER TOLD ME IS POSSIBLY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR MAY BE PROBLEM

CAR BEGAN HESITATING AND JERKING, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT WOULD BOG DOWN WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE, GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AFTER A STOP CAR WAS ALMOST HIT A NUMBER OF TIMES DUE TO CAR STALING . MY WIFE AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON OCTOBER 20TH 2015 FOR THE 4TH TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS CLUTCH AND THEY REPLACED IT THEN CALLED AND SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THAT. WE DIDN'T CAR BACK UNTIL JAN 16 2016 I TOOK THE CAR TO WORK THE NEXT DAY, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATING AND JERKING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE TRAINED. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK OCTOBER 1ST 2016 DUE TO THE CAR STALING IN THE INTERSECTION AND ALMOST BEING HIT AGAIN THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE CLUTCH AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS ON BACK ORDER, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD BE AND THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS, AS OF TODAY OCTOBER 26TH 2016 MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALER. THIS IS A REPEAT ISSUE, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLUTCH AND WAS A "KNOWN ISSUE" THAT FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT OTHER THEN WAITING UNTIL THE WARRANTY IS UP AND FORCING YOU TO EITHER DEAL WITH THE ISSUE OR BUY A NEW CAR.

MY SONS CAR BEGAN HESITATING AND JERKING, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT WOULD BOG DOWN WHEN TRYING TO GO, GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WAS SCARY. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON AUG 19TH THEY SAID IT WAS CLUTCH AND THEY REPLACED IT THEN CALLED AND SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THAT. WE DIDN'T CAR BACK UNTIL OCT 6 MY SON TOOK THE CAR TO WORK THE NEXT DAY, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR BEGAN TO WHINE AS WELL AS AN ODOR HE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MY HUSBAND WENT AND GOT THE CAR. THE DEALER PICKED THE CAR UP FROM MY DRIVEWAY LEAVING A PUDDLE. THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS STILL THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS, AS OF TODAY OCT 25TH MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALER. *TR

CAR SPUTTERS ON TAKE OFF ALMOST DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF MAJOR INTERSECTIONS. RADIO ELECTRICAL SHORTED OUT THE FIRST 3 MONTHS AND SMOKE FROM HOOD. THE RIGHT REAR DOOR FLEW OPEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED EVERY TIME THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INNER INPUT SEAL AND CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE CLUTCH FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,743.

WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP THE ENGINE CHUGS, JERKS, CHATTERS, AND GRINDS.

CASENUMBER:1024456 I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO SUMMERVILLE FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE PURCHASED IN AUGUST OF 2015 RECALLS TRANSMISSION ISSUES DOOR LOCKS IT HAPPENED WHEN MOVING THEY SAID WOULD CALL WHEN TRANSMISSION REP.CAME IN..I WAS FINE TO DRIVE. THEN DOOR LATCHES RECALLED. THEY REPLACED,AND MY DRIVERS WINDOW STOPPED AT A POINT BEFORE GOING DOWN ALL THEWAY. IT SEEMED TO FINALLY GO DOWN BUT FELT LIKE SCRAPING OR GETTING HUNG UP. THESE FOLKS ALSO LEFT A HUBCAP OFF LAST OCTOBER THOUGH..AND DID NOT KNOW..I RULED OUT AS HUMAN GRACED AND GAVE BENEFIT OF DOUBT. WHEN I CALLED THEY WERE CLOSED. SO I BROUGHT BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS A RELAY SWITCH...BUT I KNEW IT WASN'T BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ACTING LIKE THAT UNTIL (DOOR LATCH) REPLACEMENT. THEN IT WENT AWAY SEEMINGLY. I BROUGHT BACK AGAIN FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.. THEN HAD A FAN MOTOR ISSUE THEY TOLD ME TO PAY WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD COVER.

I PURCHASED A 2013 FORD FIESTA I PURCHASED ON DECEMBER 23, 2015 AT THE LAUREL, MARYLAND CARMAX STORE. ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH, I WENT TO JIM COLEMAN TOYOTA TO BUY A TOYOTA PRIUS. THEY EXAMINED MY FORD FOR ITS TRADE-IN VALUE. THE MANAGER, WHO WAS A FORMER CARMAX MANAGER, EXAMINED THE CAR AND INFORMED ME THAT MY FORD FIESTA HAS UNIBODY DAMAGE. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AS BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS UNIBODY DAMAGE WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON DECEMBER 23, 2015. I PURCHASED THE CAR FOR $14,000, WHICH IS FAR ABOVE THE BLUE BOOK VALUE OF $9,419. IN MARCH 2016, I BOUGHT THE CAR TO CARMAX IN LAUREL FOR OVERHEATING. THE HEAT PUMP WAS REPLACED FOR $250. ADDITIONALLY, ON SEPTEMBER 15TH, I PAID FOR REPAIRS AT THE CARMAX GAITHERSBURG STORE. THE REPAIRS WERE FOR THE FOLLOWING: 1-FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH;2-TRUCK LATCH; AND 3-HORN I WAS CHARGED $250 TO REPAIR CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURES. WHILE THE CAR WAS IN GAITHERSBURG, THE BATTERY DRAINED. THE CAR DOOR COULD NOT CLOSE, SO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON. I REPORTED THE DOOR LATCH PROBLEMS ON MONDAY, AUGUST 29TH. THE CAR WAS IN PARK. MY SISTER AND I WERE TRYING TO LEAVE FOR CHURCH AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 8TH IN GAITHERSBURG AND SEPTEMBER 13TH IN LAUREL. THAT WAS QUITE A LONG TIME TO WAIT FOR SUCH A CRITICAL ISSUE. I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED A CAR WITH UNIBODY DAMAGE HAD IT BEEN DISCLOSED. TO BE CHARGED FOR A RECALL ITEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED PRIOR TO PURCHASE, IS UNCONSCIONABLE. I AM TOTALLY OUTRAGED.

THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T CATCH AT ALL FOR A FEW SECONDS OR MOVE SO WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC YOU END UP STUCK LINGERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS COULD CAUSE A WRECK, ENDANGERS MINE AND MY ALREADY AT LEAST ONE DOCUMENTED CASE OF THIS ALREADY HAPPENING.

ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. FORD POWER SHIFT TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN A ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH TRANSMISSION FAILING TO PROPERLY ENGAGE AND GRINDING NOISE AND JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSING STEERING TO SHAKE POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE IF THIS EVER HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND WHEN SLOWED TO NEAR STOP APPRX 5-10 MPH MULTIPLE COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION CONTROLL UNIT REPROGRAM A AND CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 8000 MILES PRIOR TO TODAY'S DATE AND HAVING SAME ISSUES AS BEFORE

MY CAR HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT SHUDDERS AND HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO GO INTO GEAR.IT HAS BEEN TO SERVICE WELL OVER 6 TIMES IN 2 YEARS. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS THE DESIGN OF THE CAR AND I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC SHIFTS INTERNALLY DIFFERENT. WHEN ON THE OPEN ROAD AND IT IS IN GEAR IT FUNCTIONS OK. IN TOWN GOING FROM STOP LIGHT TO STOP LIGHT IS WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS. IT HESITATES IN ACCELERATION AND SHUDDERS. IT HAS FAILED ME EXITING ONTO A MAJOR FREEWAY BY NOT KICKING INTO THE PROPER GEAR. I NO LONGER TRY TO MERGE ONTO A FREEWAY IN THIS CAR. THERE IS NOT A DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS CAR IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE ABOUT THIS CAR. I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED TO TELL FORD CORPORATION AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT THESE ISSUES. I HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER STATING MY CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY IN THIS CAR. I HAVE GONE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND MADE MANY ATTEMPTS AT GETTING THEM TO LISTEN TO ME REGARDING THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE LEFT THERE SO OFFENDED BY THEM ACTING LIKE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR WHEN I KNOW THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY PUT IN BACK ON ME THE DRIVER THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 38 YEARS MOST HAVE BEEN 5 SPEEDS, I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY HOW A CAR IS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE AND FOR THEM TO INSINUATE OTHERWISE IS INSULTING TO ME. AGAIN THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND MORE SO THAN EVER NOW, BECAUSE THE SAFETY LATCHES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED ON THE PASSENGER REAR AND FRONT DOORS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING THIS CAR BUT I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS AS FORD LOW-BALLED ME ON A TRADE IN BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WHEN FIRST STARTED (TRANSMISSION COLD) IT SHUTTERS IN REVERSE THEN WHEN SHIFTED INTO 1ST IT WILL SLIGHTLY SHUTTER AND FROM 1ST TO 2ND, THEN OF DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IT SHIFTS HARD FROM 2 TO 3RD. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES, IT OPERATES NORMAL. CALLED FORD MOTOR CO. CUST. CARE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EXCEPT SUGGEST TO TAKE TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHICH WILL COST AN ARM AN A LEG. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS COLD NO MATTER WHAT TEMPERATURE OR TIME OF DAY AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE HAS REMAIN PARKED FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS.

MY CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR 5 TIMES TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THIS FAULTY CV TRANSMISSION. IT'S ALSO GONE THROUGH AT LEAST 3 RECALLS (FORTUNATELY FORD HAS "EXTENDED THE WARRANTY") ON THE BLASTED THING. I'VE ALSO HAD THEM REPLACE THE CVT PART ITSELF, STILL NOTHING. SO WHAT'S WRONG? THE [XXX]TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. IT JARS WHEN ACCELERATING, AND I MEAN BADLY JARS. HOW BAD? I'M ACCELERATING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR, LET'S SAY INA TURN INTO AN INTERSECTION. IT WILL LITERALLY STOP FOR A SECOND WHILE DOING THE ADJUSTMENT AND THEN CONTINUE FORWARD. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS SAFE AT ALL. IN ADDITION, AFTER THE LATEST "RECALL", IT'S MADE THINGS "WORSE". THE LAST TIME I WENT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR "FLOORING IT" (JUST TO SEE HOW IT WOULD HANDLE IT), THE THING WENT UP TO 6200 RPMS. THE "RED ZONE". IT SHOULD NOT DO THAT. AT ALL. THESE "LOONS" INSIST THAT THIS IS NORMAL, WHEN THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER CVTS OUT THERE (LET'S SAY, HONDA) THAT HAVE WORKING ONES THAT FUNCTION FINE. WORSE, THEY'VE BEEN CALLING THE [XXX] SYSTEM AUTOMATIC INSTEAD OF WHAT IT REALLY IS, A FANCY PANTS COMPUTERIZED MECHANICAL. IT'S HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M JUST GOING FROM A STOP LIGHT AND THE [XXX] THING SHUTTERS AND JERKS. WHEN IT'S INTO A TURN, FROM STOP TO START, OR UP A HILL, THE THING STUTTERS AND SOMETIMES STALLS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND LOSSES POWER THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE ON WARMER DAYS. PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 1000 MILES, DEALER " REPLACED CLUTCH " AT 1123 MILES TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER FOR SAME PROBLEM , WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO NEW UPDATES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 12 TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY HAVE TOLD BE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE REAR DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR INDICATED THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED. AFTER STOPPING TO EXAMINE THE DOOR, THE DRIVER DISCOVERED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS FAULTY AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT REMAIN CLOSED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FOUR DOOR LATCHES WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

BACKGROUND: NHTSA CASE NO. 861644 , RECALL NO. 15V246000 ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2015, THE FRONT RIGHT DOOR OF MY VEHICLE FAILED TO LATCH WHILE I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY SHAMALEY FORD AS A RECALL REPAIR. IN SEPTEMBER 2015, SHAMALEY FORD STATED TO ME, AND APPARENTLY ALSO TO FORD MOTOR CO., THAT ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED, NOT JUST THE FRONT RIGHT DOOR LATCH THAT FAILED. ON JULY 31, 2016, I PUT ONE BAG OF GROCERIES IN THE BACK SEAT AND, I THOUGHT, CLOSED THE REAR LEFT DOOR. I DROVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. ABOUT A HALF-BLOCK AWAY, I SAW A DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT THAT MY REAR LEFT DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR. I COULD NOT CLOSE THE DOOR. THE LATCH OF THE REAR LEFT DOOR OF THE VEHICLE FAILED. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE REAR LEFT DOOR CAME UNLATCHED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, OR IF I FAILED TO NOTICE THE LATCH FAILURE IN THE PARKING LOT BEFORE DRIVING OFF. THE LEFT REAR DOOR IS HELD CLOSED AT THIS TIME BY A BUNGEE CORD BETWEEN THE DOOR ARM REST AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEAD REST. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TO SHAMALEY FORD FOR SERVICE ON AUGUST 2 AT 7:00 A.M. I PUT APPROXIMATELY 12,050 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE SEPTEMBER 2015 LATCH INSTALLATION AND THE LATCH'S FAILURE ON JULY 31, 2016.

THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. DUAL TRANSMISSION CLUCH IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM DISENGAGING WHILE DRIVING SLOW OR FAST AND SHUTTERS AT ALL SPEEDS. ITS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ECB) IS DEFECTIVE JUST LIKE 1.6 MILLION 2009-2014 FORD ESCAPE AND FUSION AND MERCURY MARINER AND MILAN VEHICLES THAT FORD STARTED A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" IN LIEU OF A RECALL. OF COURSE THE ECB IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY (3,000 OVER) AND FORD DID NOT IDENTIFY THE FIESTA AS ONE OF THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM CARS. $545 PLUS LABOR FOR A CAR THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD. NO MORE FORD PRODUCTS FOR HOME OR WORK FOR THIS CFO.

THE AIR CONDITIONING WOULD GO OUT IN STO AND GO TRAFFIC AND WHEN CAR OFF FAN WOULD CONTINUE. COOLANT FAN IS MALFUNCTION OVERHEATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND DID NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE HER FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND DEPRESS IT AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DAILY FOR APPROXIMATELY THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE . I COMPLAINED ABOUT TRANSMISSION AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I NOW NOTICE THAT THE FUEL IS NOT GETTING THE AN MOUNT. I M AVERAGING 20 TO 25 MILES EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS 33. I SEE IT JUMPS. I CALLED THEY SAID PLUGS DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE UNTIL 40000 MILES. THE MILAGE IS MOVING EVEN THOUGH I AM DRIVING IN A 10 MILE RADIUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FIVE TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A SOLUTION. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 08/04/16.*JB

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2013 FORD FIESTA SHUDDERS, JERKS AND PAUSES/STALLS ON ACCELERATION WHILE IN LOW GEARS. WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A STOPPED CONDITION EXTRA TIME HAS TO BE ALLOTTED BECAUSE THE CAR TRANSMISSION WILL JERK AND PAUSE ON ACCELERATION. THE DRIVER HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE SPEED OF THE CAR, IN OTHER WORDS ACCELERATING WILL NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION PAUSES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN CHANGE MULTIPLE TIMES. THE GARAGE FINALLY GAVE UP ON TRYING TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED IT. THE CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION. ADDITIONALLY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, IT'S NOT CONSISTENT AND SMOOTH. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, THIS JUST ISN'T A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE. THIS IS DAILY DRIVING!

SHUTTER NO SPEED WHEN GETTING ON FREEWAY.

TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION. SHUTTERS, INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION STAYING IN 2ND GEAR WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.I AM AT A LOSS WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION. SHUTTERS, INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION STAYING IN 2ND GEAR WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.I AM AT A LOSS WITH THIS VEHICLE.I WISH FORD WOULD REPLACE TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF HAVING TECHNICIANS REPLACE CLUTCHES AND SEALS OR CLEAN CLUTCH TO REMOVE TRANSMISSION OIL OFF CLUTCH. I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO PURCHASE A FORD PRODUCT WHILE I AM ON THIS EARTH. NO CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO SUFFER WITH INADEQUATE ENGINEERING DESIGNS!!!!

ON A COLD MORNING CAR FAILED TO START AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAME ON DISPLAY. FORD REPLACED TRANS MODULE AND SAID MY BATTERY WAS STARTING TO GET LOW. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. CAR WAS AGAIN TOWED TO DEALER WHO SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANS MODULE. I INFORMED HIM THIS WAS SECOND MODULE IN TWO WEEKS AND THAT THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE. I THEN FOUND ONLINE WHERE FORD HAS PAINTED THE SURFACE WHERE THE GROUND CABLE FROM THE BATTERY IS ATTACHED. A YOUTUBE VIDEO STATED THE CLEANING THE SURFACE OF PAINT, APPLYING DI-ELECTRIC GREASE AND RE-ATTACHING CABLE WOULD CURE THE ISSUE. HAVE COMPLETED THIS AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL ALL UNITS TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

REFERENCE COMPLAINTS #'S 10639225, 10744924 & 10820141 FOR BACKGROUND CONCERNING THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH ON-GOING PROBLEM ARE SUBMITTED WITH COMPLAINT #10744924. CURRENT ISSUE IS CLUTCH #4 BEING REPLACED IN THIS VEHICLE IN LESS THAN FOUR YEARS! IF THAT ISN'T GROUNDS FOR ACTION AGAINST FORD FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGNED TRANSMISSION THEN I SURE DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD BE? SURE, FORD GAVE A SEVEN YEAR WARRANTY FOR THE FLAW, BUT IT'S JUST REPLACING THE PART WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART THAT FAILS EVERY YEAR! THREE MORE YEARS THEN IT'S OUT OF MY POCKET!! IT'S THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH FOR HEAVENS SAKE...IT SHOULDN'T BE REPLACED EVERY YEAR!!! I OWN AN EIGHT YEAR OLD FORD F150 THAT NOT ONCE HAS HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE...MATTER OF FACT...I'VE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE UNTIL THE FIESTA WITH SUCH A PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE TEMPORARILY STALLED, ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING, AND THEN DECELERATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. ....UPDATED 06/30/16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLUTCH TWICE. UPDATED 07/21/16. *JB

YOU GUY KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ORDERED. SHAME ON YOU. I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FROM IT FIRST. IT PUSHES FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO STOP AND STALLS WHEN YOU NEED TO GO. I HAVE HAD THE CLUTCHES REPLACED ATLEAST 4 TIMES AND EVERY 6 MONTHS I AM BACK TO MY CAR TRYING TO KILL ME. SHAME ON THIS DEPT. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN YOU ASK? THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVED HAD THIS CAR STARTING AT ABOUT 2000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, RATHER VIOLENTLY, BETWEEN 1-2, AND 2-3 SHIFTS. RECENTLY THE TRANSMISSION HAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AT TWO VERY INOPPORTUNE AND FRIGHTENING TIMES, ONCE ON THE 202 FREEWAY IN MESA, AZ AND THE OTHER IN A 3 WAY INTERSECTION ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THE RANDOM TRANSMISSION SHIFTS, WHEREAS THE SHUDDERING WAS JUST A VERY IRKSOME ANNOYANCE. FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE TRANSMISSIONS. IT'S RIDICULOUS FOR A PERSON TO OWN A CAR LESS THAN 3 OR 4 YEARS OLD AND HAVE THESE KINDS OF UNSAFE ISSUES.

CAR WORKS FINE AND THEN SPUTTERS AND COMES ALMOST TO A STOP. STATES THAT I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE PURCHASE AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY NEVER CAN FIND A PROBLEM. NOW IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY.

WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2013 FORD FIESTA THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WHILE SHE WAS IN A PARKED POSITION, THIS TIME HOWEVER IT WAS WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A CONCERN BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR 8 MONTHS AGO FOR OUR DAUGHTER, SHE HAS BEEN A LICENSED DRIVER SINCE DECEMBER 2015. THE CAR HAD 1 PREVIOUS OWNER, NO ACCIDENTS, LOW MILEAGE. HAD RECALL ISSUE FOR DOOR LATCHES TAKEN CARE OF AS WELL AS REPROGRAMMING THE TCM 3 DAYS BEFORE STEERING WENT OUT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE POWER TRAIN/ENGINE MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT (WRENCH SHAPED) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON UNTIL I PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. AT THE END OF THE WORK DAY I STARTED THE CAR AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD WIRES HAD MELTED TOGETHER AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REASON I WAS GIVEN BY THE SERVICE CENTER IS:" TEST DRIVE - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, NO SYMPTOMS DETECTED. IDS TEST PCM KOEO-PASS. CONT - P2138 (APP SENSOR CORRELATION ERROR), KOER-PASS, PER TSB 13-11-15, BYPASS CIRCUITS LE136, LE137, AND RE137 AT CONNECTOR C210, PINS 1, 8, AND 9 RESPECTIVELY, SWITCH APP SENSOR CONNECTOR PINS 1 AND 2."

CONTINUED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS; JERKS, CLUTCH STUDDERS; SCARED TO CROSS INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE CAR WILL STOP OR JERK; TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION; SEAT BELTS NOT LOCKING PROPERLY; TAKEN CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 4 TIMES DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM (TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION)

MAKES NOISE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-50 ML/H FROM DAY ONE. MANY TIMES, FROM STATIONARY TO MOVE, IT WILL SUDDENLY JUMP, ACCELERATE, HARD TO CONTROL. HAS KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND SOMETIME WILL NOT START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RESTARTED FOR THE JERKING TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/15/16*LJ

MY 2013 FORD FIESTA SHUDDERS AND OR BUCKS UPON ACCELERATION. MOVING FORWARD THROUGH INTERSECTIONS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE TRANSMISSION. MY 2013 FIESTA HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION WORKED ON BY WAY OF A FORD DEALERSHIP AND PARTS REPLACED. I WORRY EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR THAT IT MAY BE THE ONE TIME I DON'T MAKE IT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I WOULD NOT EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. THE LAST TIME I HAD PROBLEMS WITH SHUDDERING THE DEALERSHIP HAD TESTED MY CAR AND THE SHUDDERING WAS WITHIN GUIDELINES OF PASSING UNDER THE FORD TESTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT COULD ESSENTIALLY BE A DEATH TRAP AND CONSIDERED UNSAFE.

THIS WAS A BRAND NEW 2013 FORD FIESTA PURCHASED ON APRIL 2013 THAT HAS ALWAYS INTERMITTENTLY STUTTERED / BOGGED ON ACCELERATION WITH SOMETIMES A METAL NOISE. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO THE "NEW" TYPE OF DOUBLE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION DESIGNED TO IMPROVE GAS MILEAGE. CLUTCH WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE AND I WAS TOLD YESTERDAY CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE SHOP A MONTH AGO AS THE CAR WAS STUTTERING ON ACCELERATION FAIRLY BADLY AND TOLD THEN THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM.

ON-GOING ISSUE W/ CHUGGING,GRINGIN AND JERKING-FRONT DERIVERS SIDE OF CAR. STARTED IN 2014- TOLD DEALERSHIP STEVEN FORD(PATCHOGUE,NY) THEY STATED NO ISSUE. NOISE GOT REPEADETLY WORSE OVER TIME. HAD MISSOURI DEALERSHIP LOOK AT WHEN I FOUNDOUT THERE WAS RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION- STATED RESET COMPUTER ALL REPAIRED. CAME BACK TO NY WITH EXTENDED ISSUE TOOK TO TOWER FORD (GREAT NECK, NY) KEPT FOR A WEEK STATING THEY HAD TO DIAGNOSIS W/ 260 FEE. WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION - NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL COST $ 5,000.00 TO FIX. WAS TOLD I COULD DRIVE OFF LOT-TOOK TO OUTSIDE GARAGE IN GLEN OAKS, NY WHERE THEY INFORMED ME I HAD A HOLE IN MY TRANSMISSION THAT BY LOOKING AT COULD HAVE BEEN NOTED W/ NO DIAGNOSTIC NEEDED. TOWER CHARGED ME FOR THE 260 DIAGNOSTIC AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. FORD CORPORATE HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF ALL ISSUES AND REFUSES TO HELP. I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT- DROVE THIS CAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND NO ONE CONNECTED TO FORD WANTS TO HELP- IT IS A 2013! TOWER FORD TOLD GLENOAKS GARAGE THAT WE DID THIS TO THE TRANSMISSION WHEN WE DROVE IT 6 MILES FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE OTHER. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DANGER TO DRIVE AND NO ONE ADVISED ME OF THIS EXTENSIVE TRANSMISSION ISSUE!

THE TRANSMISSION HAS A RECALL ON IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND REPLACED 3X. IT STILL IS NOT FIXED. IT PASSES THE TEST WHEN ITS HOOKED UP TO THE MACHINE BUT WHEN DRIVEN IT FAILS AND GOES BACK TO THE SHOP. THE PROBLEM APPARENTLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FORD AND HOW IT IS MADE. NOW A ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON. THE MANUAL SAYS THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN BECAUSE IT MAY NOT SHIFT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN COUNTLESS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT. IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE. IT JERKS, SHAKES, AND GRINDS. I WROTE TO FORD AND THEY DIDN'T CARE. TOLD ME TO TAKE IT UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS BEEN NONSTOP SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR TILL NOW AND ITS ONGOING. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CHILD IN THIS CAR. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

70,000 MILES CURRENTLY, 2013 FORD FIESA SFE WITH 6 SPEED POWER SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANS. THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR IS A FLAWED DESIGN. SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR, THERE IS EXCESSIVE CLUTCH SHUDDER WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND AND FROM SECOND TO THIRD. IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE LOOSE MARBLES IN THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD THE TSB/RECALL PERFORMED IN APRIL OF 2015 BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER FOR 2 WEEKS WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS OPENED UP AND PARTS WERE REPLACED. TO BE HONEST, IT'S NOW WORSE THAN EVER. UNLESS I'M DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR IS A NIGHTMARE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD EITHER LUNGE FORWARD AND ACCELERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING, OR FAIL TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE REVVED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND LUNGED FORWARD, AND STOPPED SUDDENLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

SLOW ON ACCELERATION AND THEN SHUDDERS AND JERKS. JERKY WHILE SHIFTING LACK OF POWER GOING UP HILL . HAS JERKED, THEN STALLED AND ROLLED BACK WHILE GOING UP HILL -CROSSING A BUSY ROAD IT ACTED UP AND IF THE ONGCOMING TRUCK HAD NOT SLOWED DOWN I WOULD HAVE GOTTED HIT AND T BONED-SCARY AND UNSAFE.

VEHICLE SHUDDER SHAKES AND FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, TYPICALLY IN FIRST OR SECOND GEAR (6 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION). TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES, CLUTCH WAS REPLACED, CONTROL UNIT REPROGRAMMED AGAIN. ISSUES CONTINUE. VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION IN INTERSECTIONS AND POSES A RISK FOR REAR-END COLLISIONS, CANNOT SMOOTHLY ACCELERATE WHICH COULD CAUSE ISSUES.

NEW TRANSMISSION CLUTCH PROBLEM. FORD SENT RECALL. CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE AUGUST OF 2015 FOR RECALL PARTS AS HAVE MANY OTHERS CAR JUMPS SHIMMIES AND RATTLES LIKE A BUCKET OF BOLTS. DANGEROUS MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS AND GETTING UP INCLINES ESPECIALLY COMING FROM A STOP. GETTING NOWHERE WITH FORD CORP OR DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION, THE GEAR SWITCHED TO REVERSE INDEPENDENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER ELECTRONIC SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

MY 2013 FORD FIESTA ONLY HAS 33,000 AND IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CAR SHUDDERS AND STALLS WHEN FIRST PULLING OUT. THIS MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO WAY A VEHICLE WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILES SHOULD BE HAVING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEMS.

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SLIPS VIOLENTLY UNDER 10 MPH AND BETWEEN GEARS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND FORD HAS NOT REPAIRED MY CAR. MY CAR CAN EASILY GET REAR-ENDED IF THIS IS NOT FIXED AND I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND HELP FORD RECALL AND REPLACE ALL TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE FORD FIESTA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A RECALL REPAIR FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS LINKAGES). THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED, THE CONTACT BEGAN EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

THE CAR AT TIMES WILL ACT LIKE IT HAS BEEN PUT IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT IS STILL IN DRIVE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN ALTHOUGH YOU PUT PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR GOES NO WHERE. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE. IT HESITATES TO GO AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE I CAME CLOSE TO BEING REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE CAR BEHIND ME STARTING TO GO FORWARD WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND MY CAR GOES NO WHERE. THE TRANSMISSION CHATTERS LIKE A STANDARD SHIFT CAR. IT JERKS AND I TRULY FEEL IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT FROM A CAR THAT FORD CAN'T SEEM TO FIX. I HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON PARTS TO COME IN FOR FORD TO TRY TO FIX FOR THE 4TH TIME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT STARTED NOT LONG AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AND THERE ARE MORE THEN ONE DATES THIS HAS HAPPENED. WHEN I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A BACK ORDER NATIONWIDE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER. WHAT IS FORD WAITING FOR, PEOPLE TO GET KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS.

DOUBLE CLUTCH IS SLIPPING MOSTLY AT LOW SPEED/TAKE OFF. HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY; CURRENT MILEAGE AT 46813. BROUGHT IN FOR THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS ADVISED PARTS ON BACK ORDER FROM OCTOBER. WILL TAKE 2-3 MONTHS BEFORE PART(S) COME IN. PCM AND TCM REPROGAMMED, STILL SHUDDERING, COULD BE DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. NOT GETTING ECONOMY MPG AS ADVERTISED.

THE CAR JERKS, GRINDS AND SHAKES AS THE CAR STARTS TO PICK UP SPEED. WHAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

I PURCHASED A VEHICLE WHICH CAME WITH SOME RECALLS SO FAR I'VE HAD 3 MY NEWEST ONE IS THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING AS I DRIVE I WAS AT ONE POINT READY TO GIVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I NEED IT FIXED DO I CAN GO ON VACATION BUT IT SEEMS A VERY LONG TIME IF A WAIT SINCE I HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THIS WAS ADDED ON AS A RECALL BUT WHY IS IT I DON'T SEE IT LISTED UNDER YOURS I ALSO GOT NOTHING ON THE AIR BAG BUT I SEE IT ON YOURS AND OF COURSE I KNEW ABOUT THE LATCH FOR DOOR I GOT A NOTIFICATION ON THAT

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATES DAILY. MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL LIST. IT ILLUMINATES WHETHER ITS MOVING OR STATIONARY.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DRIVING 10 MILES OR SO THERE IS A CRUNCH NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING. I HAVE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THERE ISN'T A PART AVAILABLE FOR THE PROBLEM. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST 13 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND HESITATED WHILE SHIFTING INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE RE-FLASHED. THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FREQUENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. UPDATED 04/08/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND HESITATE ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 04/14/16.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED SEVERELY. A WARNING MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROGRAM WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

OTHER DOORS INSPECTED. ON 1/20/15 THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LATCH FAILED ON THE CAR WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO GET HOME, SHE HAD TO REACH ACROSS THE PASSENGER SEAT AND HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. I CAN NOT FOR MY LIFE THINK OF A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A YOUNG DRIVER. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR THE LATCH TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE ARE REPAIR ORDERS FROM THE INCIDENCES. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED TO HAVE THEM SENT TO YOU.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE CAR HESITATES AND THEN LUNGES FORWARD, AND SHUTTERS. WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL OR TURNING CORNERS THE CAR SHUTTERS. WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR MAKES NOISES DUE TO THE SHIFT FORKS. WHEN AT A STOP WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND IN THE DRIVE POSITION, OR WHEN STOPPED ON A FLAT SURFACE THE CAR ROLLS IN REVERSE. AS MY SON WAS WALKING BEHIND THE CAR WHILE IT WAS IN PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE CAR ROLLED BACK AND HIT MY SON.

2013 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION RECALL NOTICE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WENT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY AND GET A RESOLUTION FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE AND JERK UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,500.

WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR IN A LOW GEAR (USUALLY STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR LEAVING A PARKING LOT) IT WILL FLASH SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS AND THE COMPUTER CONSOLE WILL SAY "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION, SERVICE NOW." THEN THE CAR WILL STOP RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL ENTIRELY. I CAN USUALLY GET IT TO RESPOND AGAIN BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THIS WILL WORK, BUT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT STALLS OUT AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) BACK TO FORD FOR THIS SAME ISSUE 5 TIMES NOW, AND EACH TIME THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. EACH TIME, AFTER SOME TIME (SHORTEST: 2 DAYS, LONGEST: FOUR MONTHS) THE SAME STALLING OUT PRESENTS IN THE SAME WAY. I'VE BROKEN DOWN/STALLED OUT IN PARKING LOTS, ON SURFACE STREETS, AND ON MAJOR FREEWAYS: EACH TIME IN TRAFFIC. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED IN AUGUST OF 2015, THEN 12/11/15, 12/15/15, 12/18/15 AND 1/14/15.

I WAS UNAWARE ABOUT THE FORD FIESTAS HAVING A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS. MY CAR HESITATES , JERKS AND HARD TO ACCELERATE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO SCHOOL AND TO WORK AND ALSO IT HAS BEEN AT FORD SERVICE CENTER MANY TIMES FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT'S JUST HOW FORD MADE THE CAR AND JUST ACCELERATE MORE

THIS IS THE 3RD FOLLOW-UP IN REGARDS TO COMPLAINT #'S 10639225 & 10744924. THE FOLLOWING IS MY SPECIFIC EVENT TIMELINE. FIRST EVENT (17SEP2013) 1ST TRANSMISSION SHUDDER...2ND CLUTCH INSTALLED, SECOND EVENT (30SEP2014) 2ND TRANS SHUDDER...CV JOINT LEAKING, THIRD EVENT (10NOV2014) 3RD TRANS SHUDDER...NO DEALER ACTION, FOURTH EVENT (10JUN2015) 4TH TRANS SHUDDER...NO DEALER ACTION, FIFTH EVENT (29JUL2015) 5TH TRANS SHUDDER...FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM REPLACED, SIXTH EVENT (12SEP2015) 6TH TRANS SHUDDER...3RD CLUTCH INSTALLED, SEVENTH EVENT (5JAN2016) TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT...TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPLACED. ALL THE OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS (CONCERNING THIS TRANSMISSION), ALL THE ISSUES I'VE DETAILED ABOVE (FOR A 3 YEAR OLD, NORMALLY OPERATED CAR), AND NOTHING MORE IS BEING DONE HERE? WAS NOTHING LEARNED FROM THE GM DEBACLE?? THIS CARS DESIGN IS FLAWED AND HOLDS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT THAT FORD JUST QUIETLY THROWS PARTS AT AND EVERYONE'S OK! THANK YOU!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE IN PARK, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LATCH. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BUCKLE DOWN IN ORDER TO GET THE SEAT BELT TO LATCH. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS, THE RADIO AND INSTRUMENT DASHBOARD HAVE BEEN FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY AND CAR LOSING POWER. BROUGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM DURING TEST DRIVE. IN ADDITION TO THE PROBLEMS LISTED EARLIER, NOW THE TCS OFF KEEPS ON FLASHING EVEN WHEN CAR IS IDLE.

FORD FIESTA (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) HAS A TRANSMISSION SHUTTER WITH INITIAL TAKEOFF, AND WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. WHILE, AT A COMPLETE STOP THE TRANSMISSION JERKED VIOLENTLY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE ACCELERATION SLOWLY AND SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

I TOOK MY 2013 FORD FIESTA IN TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND TO DETERMINE WHY THE CAR WAS MAKING A GRINDING/SHUTTER/TUGGING NOISE/FEELING ON FEBRUARY 16, 2015 TO RANDALL REED'S PRESTIGE FORD, 3601 SOUTH SHILOH ROAD, GARLAND, TX 75041. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CLUTCH AND THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. PRESTIGE FORD DID THE WORK ON MARCH 6, 2015 AND REPLACED THE CLUTCH. A WEEK LATER THE CAR WAS STILL MAKING THE GRINDING/SHUTTER/TUGGING FEELING . I RETURNED TO PRESTIGE FORD AND THE CLUTCH WAS ON BACK ORDER. PRESTIGE FORD REPLACED THE CLUTCH A SECOND TIME ON MAY 14, 2015. 5 STAR FORD HAS REPLACED THE CLUTCH A THIRD TIME ON DEC. 14, 2015 AND IT IS STILL MAKING THE GRINDING NOISE AND THEY FAILED TO PUT WATER IN THE COOLING RESERVOIR AND THE CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LIGHT IS ON.

THE TRANSMISSION STUTTERS, GRINDS, SLOW TO ENGAGE CAN ALSO POP INTO GEAR HARD WHEN EXCELLERATING OR HESTITATES WHEN EXCELLERATING. IT ALSO ALLOWS THE CAR TO ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN STATIONARY. TWO TIMES IN THE SHOP AND THE EXPLANATION IS NEEDS NEW PARTS, THEN HAS TO LEARN HOW TO BE A TRANSMISSIONJ AGAIN. WHAT??? IT HAS ONLY 14K MILE ON IT.

HESITATES, GRINDS, SHUTTERS, LURCHES WHEN EXCELLERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED. IT ALSO ROLLS BACK FROM A LEVEL STOP SOMETIMES WHEN YOU SWITH YOUR FOOT FROM BRAKE TO GAS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP AT LEAST TWICE BUT CONTINUES THE SAME THINGS. THE EXPLANATION IS THAT AFTER ITS WORKED ON IT RESETS AND HAS TO LEARN HOW TO SHIFT AS TRANSMISSION AGAIN.

I INITALLY LEASED, AND THEN PURCHASED, A 2013 FORD FIESTA. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD A THE TRANSMISSION PIECES REPLACED ONCE AND THE VEHICLE IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE CAN BE SO MANY RECALLS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION BUT NO RECALL OF THE CAR ITSELF. IT LURCHES FORWARD, WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR ALMOST STOPPED CAR. I'VE HAD MANY NEAR MISSES AND FEEL INCREDIBLY UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR ONLY DROVE FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES BEFORE THE PROBLEMS CREPT BACK UP, POSSIBLY EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE.

HAVE TAKEN THE 2013 FIESTA INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR LACK OF POWER, NOT ACCELERATING, SLUGGISH FEEL BETWEEN GEARS SHIFTING. EACH TIME IT HAS EITHER BEEN REPROGRAMMED OR I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND! IT IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2015, WE ARE TAKING IT IN BECAUSE THIS LAST TIME THE CAR NEARLY STALLED ON MY DAUGHTER AS SHE TRIED TO GO AROUND A VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE, AND SHE WAS AT FULL SPEED BUT TRIED ACCELERATING. THIS WILL BE 4 TIMES IN TWO YEARS. THE VEHICLE JERKS OR STOPS . VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN MOTION, ALL THE TIME ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY ALSO WHEN TURNING

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED ON IT TWICE WITHOUT REPAIRING IT. IT IS IN FOR A THIRD TIME AND THE PLAN IS TO REPLACE THE SAME PART THEY REPLACED LAST TIME. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT 10,000 MILES AND REOCCURS EVERY 10,000 MILES. THOUGH THE CAR REMAINS UNDER WARRANTY, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED.

BUZZING, THUMPING, FLUTTERING THROUGH SPEAKERS - EVEN WITH ENGINE OFF. NOISE CAN BE EXTREMELY LOUD AND OCCURS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A SHORT CIRCUIT. THE DEALER STATED THE RADIO TESTED BAD AND THE RADIO WAS REPLACED. ALSO, A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE DOOR LATCH. HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION, OPENED CAR DOOR AFTER WORK IN PARKING LOT AND HEARD LOUD STATIC COMING FROM RADIO/AUDIO SYSTEM (THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BUT THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS THE WORST). PLEASE NOTE THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING UP THE 55 MILES PER HOUR AND ALSO WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED - KEY NOT IN IGNITION. I HEAR 'CRACKING AND POPPING' REGULARLY AND SOMETIMES THE VOLUME IS TERRIFYING AND STARTLING. IT COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE AN AUTO CRASH - THINK ABOUT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AUDIO SYSTEM STARTS BLARING STATIC AT 10+ UNEXPECTEDLY... MY RADIO/CD PLAYER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND IF IT DOES WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES, I WILL HEAR LOUD CRACKING AND LOUD POPPING AND THEN THE RADIO/CD CUTS OFF. THE CAR FEELS 'ELECTRIFIED' (THE HAIR ON MY ARMS HAS RAISED). I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE NOTICED HUNDREDS OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS ARE WRITING ABOUT EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. RECALL HELP MUCH APPRECIATED BECAUSE SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT WITH THE FORD CARS EXPERIENCING THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. PLEASE NOTE WHILE THESE ELECTRICAL/AUDIO STATIC PROBLEMS ARE GOING ON, THE SYNC SYSTEM HASN'T BEEN FULLY OPERATIONAL EITHER. MY STATE DOES NOT ALLOW DRIVING WITH CELLPHONES SO AN UNAVAILABLE SYNC SYSTEM IS NOT ONLY A PAIN BUT PREVENTS COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2014. IT WAS A WEEK LATER I NOTICED THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL THAT IT WOULD EITHER JERK OR TAKE A SECOND JUST TOO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. I TOOK IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS TERRIBLE AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. HOWEVER WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN SANDY, UTAH ON STATE STREET WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY WOULDN'T TAKE ANY OWNERSHIP OF THE ISSUE. THEY SAID IT WAS A "COINCIDENCE". THEY FIXED IT AND I DIDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE UNTIL TWO MONTHS LATER THE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN WITH THE JERKING FORWARD AND FEELING THAT IT WAS LURCHING FORWARD.

TRANSMISSION IS JUNK. JERKING AND SPUTTERING GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. UNSAFE, HAS BEEN TO FORD 3 OR MORE TIMES FOR THIS AND THEY CAN'T FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT ALL DOOR LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

THE CAR ALMOST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN WE TRIED TO CROSS THE ROAD FROM A STOP SIGN. IT FELT LIKE IT HAD NO POWER TO MOVE. WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE MANEUVER BUT THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT WAS PRETTY HIGH AS THE OTHER CARS WERE APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REMAINING LATCHES WOULD NOT BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT ALL LATCHES WOULD NOT BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE ADDITIONAL LATCHES WOULD BE REPLACED IF THEY FAILED. THE PART WAS AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

BUCKING, KICKING, JERKING, HARSH ENGAGEMENT, AND DELAYED ACCELERATION AND LURCHING - ROLLS BACKWARDS ON HILLS - TRANSMISSION REBUILD TWO TIMES AND REPLACED IN 24000 MILES, THESE CARS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. FORD WILL NOT DISCUSS AND JUST KEEPS DENY. THEY WILL NOT RETURN OUR CALLS - PLEASE HELP ALSO, ALL DOOR PAWL SPRING TAB LATCHES HAVE FAILED MORE THEN ONCE.

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, WHERE MY SON SITS IN HIS BOOSTER, STOPPED CLOSING ONE AFTERNOON ON OUR WAY TO HIS SOCCER GAME. I USED A PIECE OF ROPE TO TIE THE DOOR ACROSS THE CAR TO THE DOOR OPPOSITE UNTIL I COULD GET MY CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND SAW AN ARTICLE REGARDING OTHER 2013 FORD FIESTA'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SINCE I WAS THERE I LET THEM KNOW THAT MY CAR, WHICH ONLY HAD 15K MILES ON IT, HAS A PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION. WHEN I ACCELERATE I HEAR AN AIRY SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND I LOSE POWER SO THAT I ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ADVISED WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THAT THE LOCK WAS A RECALL ITEM AS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT THEY FIXED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THEY CHECKED FOR THE AIRY SOUND THEY FOUND I HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION. MY SERVICE REP SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR 30 DAYS. THAT WAS MAY 2015. TODAY IS 11/2/2015 AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES IF I COULD HAVE A RENTAL CAR OR BORROW A CAR FROM FORD UNTIL MY TRANSMISSION IS FIXED DUE TO THE LOW ACCELERATION AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TIME AND AGAIN THAT THEY CAN NOT "AUTHORIZE" IT.

IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A MANUFACTURERS RECALL ON THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURES DUE TO THE PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

CAR IS STALLING AND CHUGGING AT LOW SPEEDS. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND WILL JUMP/SKIP. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE 09/2014 AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT FLUID IN THE CLUTCH WAS LEAKY. PROBLEMS REEMERGED IN 02/2015 & 04/30. DEALER DETERMINED CAR WAS RUNNING TO FORD SPECIFICATIONS. CAR CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT SAME ISSUES.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING CONSTANTLY. WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS PREVENTING ITS FROM CATCHING THE FIRST TWO GEARS. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT CLOSE. THE DOOR ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE.

THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE INSTANCES THAT MY TRANSMISSION, WHILE IN MOTION, HAS STUTTERED, STALLED, OR BEEN COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. IN LOW GEARS, THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF IT IS GRINDING METAL CANS. WHEN MY CAR STUTTERS OR JERKS SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE, MY LIGHTS AND DASH WILL FLICKER AS WELL. BOTH MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND FORD ITSELF HAS TOLD ME THESE SAFETY ISSUES ARE NORMAL AND TO BE EXPECTED. TWICE I'VE ALMOST COLLIDED WITH SEMIS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO GET UP TO SPEED PROPERLY DUE TO THE CHUGGING AND STUTTERING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE ALREADY HAD MY CLUTCH AND SEALS REPLACED ONCE, TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I'VE BOUGHT AND I'M SCARED FOR MY SAFETY. FORD AND MY DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE HAZARDS AND INSIST THAT I'M NOT DRIVING MY CAR RIGHT. THE GRINDING, STUTTERING, STALLING, AND OUTRIGHT TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE FULL 7 MONTHS I'VE HAD THE CAR. IF MAINTENANCE INVOICES ARE NEEDED, I DO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE.

2013 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED A RECALL WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. RECALL # 15V246000. *JB

FORD HAS RECALLED TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ON MY CAR, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED A TRANSMISSION CLUTCH IS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE CAR TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM CHANGING GEARS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE, HARM AND DEATH. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR MY CAR AS REQUIRED BY FORD MOTORS COMPANY AS I HAVE REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR WHILE MY CAR IN IN SERVICE. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED IF MY CAR IS NOT REPAIRED THE CAR COULD CAUSE HARM TO ME AND POSSIBLE DEATH AS THE CAR DOES HESTIATE AND STALL WHILE GOING THRU INTERSECTIONS AND AT STOP SIGNS AND TAKE OFF.

THIS CAR HAS HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT LURCHES, DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED, SLIPS GEARS, SHUDDERS, SOMETIMES DROPPING SPEED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE SEVERITY VARIES BUT AT THIS TIME, 9/2015, THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN CONSISTENTLY DRIVABLE. IT CURRENTLY HAS 29K MILES.

LOSS OF POWER..THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE MAY EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT FAILURES CAUSING LOSS OF TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT, NO START, OR LACK OF POWER..ONLY BEEN DRIVING VEHICLE 6 MONTHS , IT HAS BEEN IN SHOP ALREADY BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNLESS FORD GIVES THEM PERMISSION..CONTACTED FORD CASE # CAS7928058..THIS LOSS OF POWER MOST FREQUENTLY HAPPENS AT TAKE OFF..STOPLIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, BUSY INTERSECTIONS...

VEHICLE HAS TRANSMISSION CONDITION ACCORDING TO ALL COMPLAINTS REGARDING SHIFTING, VEHICLE IS AT FORD DEALERSHIP AS OF NOW FOR 7TH TIME FOR SAME CONDITION...CLUTCH PACK HAS BEEN REPLACED AND CONDITION STILL PRESENT, VEHICLE HAS STALLED LAST TIME WE PICKED UP WEEK AGO TO POINT WAS ALMOST T-BONED FROM CITY BUS AS VEHICLE STALLED IN INTERSECTION, LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME WAS IGNITION CONCERN AND REPLACED PLUG WIRES...BACK INTO SHOP AFTER WEEKEND. SAME PROBLEM NO POWER NO SHIFT FEELS LIKE TAKING OFF IN 4TH GEAR OR HIGHER, AS I SAID IN DEALERSHIP NOW FOR WEEK AND UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE...DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR 7TH TIME AND THEY SAY NO TRANSMISSION CODES...I AM TIRED OF THIS CONDITION AND LOOKING FOR FINAL REPAIR,TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND/REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLE. I FEEL AFTER 7 TIMES TO DEALERSHIP IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR SAME CONDITION....BELIEVE THIS FALLS INTO LEMONLAW ABOUT NOW!

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING,CHUGGING,HESITATIG

I THE CAR SHOOK REALLY BAD, WOULD NOT GO UP A HILL OR GOING FROM STOP TO START THE CAR WOULD STALL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED AND NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL LAST YEAR. THE CAR SHOOK AND WAS STILL STALLING. THIS YEAR THERE WAS AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND THEY REMOVED THE ENTIRE COMPUTER FROM THE CAR. NOW THERE IS NO ISSUE BUT I WISH THEY WOULD FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE AS OF TODAY I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V461000 (EQUIPMENT); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO PROVIDE THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. ...UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF; UPDATED 4/5/18*JB *TR

REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH TO STAY CLOSED CAUSING DOOR TO SWING OPEN AT ANY TIME.

AFTER DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL SEVERAL TIMES, THE SHIFT CHANGE BECAME ROUGH, AND THE CAR OFTEN SHUDDERED WHEN ACCELERATING AT A LOW SPEED LIKE A POORLY DRIVEN STICK SHIFT VEHICLE. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED ONCE, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10,000 MILES AFTER THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED.

2013 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES, IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER A MANUFACTURERS RECALL BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

THE CAR SHUDDERS AND SPITS AT TAKE OFF. SOMETIMES STALLS BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE WHEN I FIRST GIVE IT GAS.

THE DOOR LATCH OF THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT LATCH/CLOSE THE BACK SEAT DOOR. THE LATCH WAS DETERMINED TO UNCORRECTABLE AND THE DOOR WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY CLOSE. HOUSTON'S FORD HELFMAN PROVIDED INFORMATION THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS RECALL, BUT THE CURRENT RECALL WAS NOT RELEASED PUBLICLY. WHEN CONTACTING HOUSTON'S HELFMAN FORD DEALERSHIP THEY PROVED TO BE RUDE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE QUALITY INFORMATION ON CORRECTING THEIR MANUFACTURE'S MALFUNCTIONING PART. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THEIR SHOP, HOWEVER THE STATUS OF RESOLVING THE ISSUE WAS UNKNOWN BY THE END OF THE DAY. A FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS MADE THEN ABOUT A HALF HOUR LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND APOLOGIZED FOR HIS TEAM'S UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDENESS. ADDITIONALLY, HE STATED HE WILL ESCALATE THE ISSUE TO GET IT RESOLVED OR BEGIN THE INSPECTION PROCESS. THE POINT OF THIS COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT WE WERE FORTUNATE TO DISCOVER THIS MALFUNCTION IN THE DRIVE WAY. IF WE WERE DRIVING WITH PASSENGERS - YOUNG CHILDREN, CANINES, OR ELDERLY - IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THEN THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGIC FAILURE.

WHILE TAKING THE BABY TO VISIT THE GRAND PARENTS, WE ARRIVED THERE AND TAKING THE BABY OUT OF THE CAR THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR POPPED OPEN AND WOULD NOT LATCH. WE HAD TO TIE THE DOOR CLOSED. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION, RELY ON ROPES AND BUNGEE CORDS TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED. IT OFFERS NO PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS CONDITION SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE CAR OWNERS NOW, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR DOORS ON THE VEHICLE TO POP OPEN TO FIND OUT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING AND EMITTED A LOUD NOISE. THE DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THE DOOR WAS EVENTUALLY CLOSED WITH THE HELP OF A STRANGER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT A SPECIAL RECALL LINE NEEDED TO BE REACHED FOR THE RECALL REPAIR PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,400. MA 10/8 THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 10/15/15*JB

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, LURCHES AND LOSS OF POWER

TRANSMISSION SLIPS, CHUGS, GRINDS, HESITATES, JERKS, FAILS TO ACCELERATE AND BOGS OUT EACH TIME BEFORE SLAMMING INTO GEAR, JERKING THE CAR FORWARD QUICKLY, THEN FAILS TO DECELERATE WHEN ENGAGING THE BREAKS CAUSING VERY NEAR REAR END WRECKS. ON HIGHWAY AT 55-65 MPH, CAR IS UNABLE TO DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP TIMES CLEANED AND REPLACE CLUTCH OR PROGRAMMED. STILL NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY

TRANSMISSION GRINDS, HESITATES AND HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION HAS A SLOW REACTION TO THE PEDAL AND JOLTS FORWARD AFTER THE DELAY. IN STOP AND GO BUMPER TO BUMPER CITY TRAFFIC THIS CAN CAUSE ISSUES. I'VE HAD THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REPLACED TWICE BUT COULD HAVE HAD IT DONE 5 + TIMES AT LEAST. IT'S TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT BOTH TIMES ITS GOOD FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES THEN PROBLEMS START ALL OVER AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LATCH MALFUNCTIONED AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE VEHICLE DOOR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TIE THE DOOR CLOSED AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS PART OF A RECALL; HOWEVER, ONLY ONE DOOR COULD BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS, CHUGS, GRINDS, HESITATES, JERKS, FAILS TO ACCELERATE AND BOGS OUT EACH TIME BEFORE SLAMMING INTO GEAR, JERKING THE CAR FORWARD QUICKLY, THEN FAILS TO DECELERATE WHEN ENGAGING THE BREAKS CAUSING VERY NEAR REAR END WRECKS. ON HIGHWAY AT 55-65 MPH, CAR IS UNABLE TO DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND I'M TOLD IT'S HOW I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NOTHING IS WRONG. AFTER 5 VISITS, FORD DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT SEE THE VEHICLE. SIMPLY TELLING ME "IF I DON'T LIKE IT, TRADE IT IN". THE CAR IS WORTHLESS, AND THEREFORE "TRADING IT IN" WOULD BE THROWING MORE MONEY AWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY PASSENGER DOOR SUDDENLY SWUNG WIDE OPENED. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND THEN HOLD THE DOOR ALL THE WAY TO DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL FIX THE PASSENGER DOOR ONLY SINCE THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO FIX THE REST OF THE DOORS EVEN THOUGH ALL 4 DOORS ARE IN RECALL. MY CAR HAVE BEEN WITH THE DEALER FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS SINCE THERE IS NO PART TO FIX MY DOOR LATCH. ITS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND FORD DO NOT CARE ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE FIESTA LURCHES AND THEN GOES FORWARD. THE AIR CONDITIONING PUMPS OUT COOL AIR AND THEN HOT AIR OFF AND ON. THE LURCHING ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THIS IS THE FOURTH VISIT.

WHEN AT A STOPPED POSITION AND I GO TO TAKE OFF, THE CAR WILL SHUTTER AND ALMOST WANT TO CUT OUT. IT ALMOST DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WANTS TO GO INTO. I AM WORRIED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. I NEVER HAVE HAD A CAR THAT SHIFTS LIKE THIS BEFORE.

THIS IS FOLLOW-UP TO INCIDENT #10639225 (26SEP2015), AND DETAILS CONTINUED TROUBLE FROM INITIAL COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE HAS RETURNED TO THE SHOP FOUR TIMES (CURRENTLY IN SHOP) FOR POWER-SHIFT TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER. TWO OF THE FOUR FOUND SHUDDER TSB LOGGING 150-170 RPM LOSS BETWEEN SHIFTS (FORD CLAIMS ACCEPTABLE?), ONE FOUND/REPLACED LEAKING CV SHAFT SEAL, AND FOURTH CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED. ON THE THIRD INCIDENT (ONE LISTED ABOVE), DEALERSHIP FOUND SHUDDER AND 170 RPM LOSS (STATED ON INVOICE THEY DROVE VEHICLE), BUT INVOICE SHOWS ZERO MILES DRIVEN IN-SHOP? MY FIRST QUESTION IS THIS...WHY IS ANY RPM LOSS (ABOVE 100 RPM'S) ACCEPTABLE FOR A COMPUTER CONTROLLED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION?? SECOND...UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS (WHICH THIS CAR IS DRIVEN) WHY ARE THERE CV ISSUES??? FORD HAS MULTIPLE TSB'S AND FSA'S SURROUNDING THIS TRANSMISSION YET NHTSA DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT! THIS TRANSMISSION (WITH ALL OF THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS AGAINST) CLEARLY IS A DESIGN FLAW AND A SAFETY RISK!! I REQUEST FEEDBACK ON THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU! UPDATED 9/28/15 *BF..UPDATED 01/13/15 *BF..UPDATED 05-19-16 *BF ..UPDATED 02/15/17 *BF ...UPDATED 03/15/17 *BF *CN

THE CAR STOTTERS AND I GET A SHUTTER NOISE BETWEEN 10AND30MPH. IT SCARES ME TO DEATH THAT IT IS GOING TO STOP. I HAVE HAD 4FORDS BEFORE, NEVER NEW AND VERY HIGH MILEAGE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. FOR A NEW CAR IT ABSOLUTELY CAUSES ME MUCH ANQUISH. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED TWICE. I ONLY HAVE 8,280 MILES ON IT AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW MAY, 2013. I AM 75 AND EXPECTED THIS CAR TO LAST AT LEAST 10 YEARS. WHAT CAN YOU DO?

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILURE. FORD DEALER HAS CAR FOR TWO WEEKS WITH NO REPAIR. RECEIVED RECALL LETTER BUT WILL NOT REPAIR DUE TO LACK OF.PARTS. I AM LEFT WITH AN UNSAFE CAR TO TRANSPORT MY CHILD.

HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS FROM A STOP POSITION. PRESENTLY IT HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING NOT ONLY IN LOW GEARS BUT ALL THE WAY UP TO 50MLS PR HR. WHEN SLOWING DOWN IT JERKS AND HESITATES. IN OCT 2014 TOOK IT BACK TO REPAIR AND WAS TOLD NEEDED NEW CLUTCH DUE TO INTERNAL OIL SEAL LEAK CONTAMINATION .NINE MONTHS LATER THE MANUFACTURER HAS STILL NEGLECTED TO REPAIR IT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD DUE TO BACKORDER OF PARTS. IT HAS ONLY 20,000K ON IT.

INCIDENT OCCURRED 3 TIMES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION WARNING CAME ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGES AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN GOING UP HILL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE ARE NO CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER. THE ALARM SHOULD NOT FLAG WITHOUT STORING A CODE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE FIESTA FOR MANY YEARS. DEALERS HAVE MADE THE SAME REPAIRS SEVERAL TIMES ON THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE ERRORS REOCCURRING. THE PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE ERROR FLAGGING WITHOUT A CODE PRESENT. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS POOR DESIGN. IN MY CASE THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR IS LIKELY A POOR CONNECTION UNDER THE HOOD. THAT ALONE IS A PROBLEM BUT IF THE SYSTEM LOGGED THE ERROR AT LEAST IT WOULD BE EASY TO FIND. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR CARS REPAIRED THINKING THEY WERE OK ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. ITS SCARY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER.
