2014 Ford Fiesta 4 DR FWD

At the time of this complaint, the Ford Fiesta that's the subject of this complaint has received 1 whole new transmission and 1 TCM replacement within 2.5 years. The first two times there were warning lights, but now no warnings are showing. To put this issue into perspective, I have only owned this car for 2.5 years, and it was purchased from a dealership used (however the dealership never mentioned the rampant transmission issues or informed me of the recent lawsuits about the Ford Fiesta). The replacement of the TCM was completed on September 16, 2021. This repair took a month to complete. Now, after being repaired for a mere 2 months, the car is exhibiting the exact same behaviors as both previous occurrences. Both previous repairs were completed by professionals, and should have fixed the issue. However, the transmission issues continue to reoccur. At this point, the car has become a major safety concern. The transmission issues are becoming extremely frequent after the "repairs" and "replacements", and are sudden in occurrence while driving. There is no warning the gear will slip into what seems to be "neutral", or that it will fail to accelerate. Additionally, the car will randomly fail to respond to gas pedal presses, especially at intersections or on hills. I fear that this car is dangerous to drive, as the issues are so sudden in nature. I have tried to settle the issue with Ford directly, but they have ignored me every step of the way. At one point, they said they would try to start a buy-back process, but then refused to return my follow-up calls.

None of the recalls were ever done to my vehicle. Mailing problems didn’t receive notification in mail. Door handle fell off and window handles coming off. Tag light glitching and in car press light doing the same. Crack plastic parts of car cracked years ago. Strange engine leak. Door panels coming off and panel around gear broke a year after I got the car. I sent complaint two years ago. I have not heard from anyone.

The contact owned a 2014 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speed the contact noticed that the vehicle would become very hot and coming from the engine and interior of the vehicle and temperature gages was going up and down. The contact placed water in the coolant tank to cool down the vehicle. The contact was going to place a coolant sensor on the vehicle but never had the chance to do it. A few days later the contact was driving at undisclosed speed, the contact pulled into a parking lot and noticed flames coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle under the front wheel which continue to in gulf the vehicle. The contact exit out of the vehicle and called the fire department who extinguish the flames from the vehicle. No one was injured. The police came to the scene but there was no police report was taken. The vehicle was towed to a salvage tow yard where it was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,729.

The DSP6 transmission is slipping out of gear and into neutral. This causes the car's momentum to fall below safe advised speeds on highways, and also can cause the car to jerk suddenly at intersections. Ford knows about this issue but is refusing to repair it.

While I was driving on the interstate I was needing to shift into 5th gear, but it wouldn’t take the shift. I had to drive in the lower gears and it caused backup because I was on a toll road but couldn’t pick up speed. When I got to my destination, I realized I no longer had reverse. Mechanic says the transmission needs to be replaced bc it’s too expensive and difficult to fix, but we can’t find a transmission to fix it. He said he got it to go into 5th and reverse, but they don’t work.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the front passenger’s side axle exhibited a loud noise while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the front passenger’s side axle was replaced three times however, the repair failed to fix the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the front axle was replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the aftermarket part on the vehicle was causing the passenger’s side front axle failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Clutch pedal intermittently depresses but does not return to raised position. Clutch pedal can manually be returned to standard position but is then sometimes “sticky” after being depressed. Vehicle is a 2014 with less than 60,000 miles and is the 4th vehicle with a standard transmission I have owned. After reading on forums for this vehicle it appears that many people are having this exact same issue with the car and I suspect that it is a design defect.

I was lost and hit a turn to fast cause my car to launch and roll into a concrete ditch multiple times off a freeway turnaround. My airbags never deployed.

FRONT DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT LATCH,. MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. TO REPEAT, THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AND SWINGS FREELY. THIS OCCURRED AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS.

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR NOT LATCHING AND DOES NOT LOCK AND STAY CLOSED

FROM A DEAD STOP AT 2045 HRS CENTRAL TIME AS. I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ON NORTHLAND AVENUE ON THE WAY TO FLORIDA AVENUE TO MY SONS HOUSE. WHEN I WENT TO TAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO MEADE STREET (LOCATED IN APPLETON WIS) I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MY ENGINE REVED BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT LURCHED SUDDENLY GRABBING POWER THEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I CHECKED TO SEE THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE AND NOT IN ANY OTHER GEAR. AS I PRESSED THE GAS AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION AND CAR STRUGGLED TO ENGAGE WHAT I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WAS THE CLUTCH. FINALLY I THE CAR ENGAGED AND JERKED ME FORWARD. I WAS VERY WORRIED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ! THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW OFF THE LOT!! IT HAS 61,750 MILES ON IT! I'M A 64 YEAR OLD LITTLE OLD LADY WHO TAKES CARE OF HER CAR! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS AND UNCALLED FOR! PLEASE CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION INTO FORDS 'NON-SERVICEABLE' TRANSMISSION! YOU CAN'T EVEN ADD FLUID OR CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I'VE TOLD MY SON AT TIMES AS WELL I'VE SMELLED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS HOT TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE SMELL WAS DISTINCT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A CAR YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER TO GET SERVICE FOR THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT'S SEALED. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS !!

IT JUST STARTED RUNNING RUFF MY FAN WENT OUT FIRST THEN MY RADIO NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPIN AND FEELS LIKE BREAKS ARE GRINDING

CLUTCH PEDAL WON'T RAISE. AT REST WHEN PUSHING IN THE PEDAL IT GOES TO THE FLOOR AND WILL ONLY RAISE ABOUT AN INCH. WHEN DISENGAGING, THE CLUTCH SLIPS. APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER. THIS OCCURED AT ABOUT 66,000 MILES. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND AFTER FEWER THAN 5000 MILES IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN THIRD GEAR, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DISENGAGE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. THE CONSUMER STATED ON A DAILY BASIS, WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED, IT WOULD ENGAGE INTO GEAR WITHOUT RELEASING THE CLUTCH. *JS

CAR JERKS AND WHEN I UNLOCK DOOR ONLY 1 DOOR UNLOCKS AND THAT IS DRIVER'S SIDE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AND EVERY TIME I PUT GAS ACT LIKE DOES WANT TO START UP AGAIN AND THEN ITS TAKES FOREVER JUST TO CATCH UP SPEED

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ENGINE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND SPUTTER AND BEGAN LOSING POWER.

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STARTED TO SURGE, MISFIRE AND THEN FOR NO APPARENTLY REASON THE ENGINE SHUT-OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES IT FIRED BACK UP AND RAN MOMENTARILY AND THEN DIED AGAIN .HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR ANYMORE, UNLESS THEY CAN RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BY THE FORD MOTOR CO.

SEE ATTACHMENT

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE LOCK ASSEMBLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR FELL OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR UNLATCHED INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING THE DOOR TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CUTTER FORD LOCATED AT 98-015 KAMEHAMEHA HWY, AIEA, HI 96701, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V177000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

MY RECALL STATES THAT FORD HAS NOT ISSUED INSTRUCTIONS TO STOP DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE UNDER THIS SAFETY. MY BACK DOOR LATCH OPENED WHILE DRIVING WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNDRIVABLE AND NEEDING A TOW, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD A PTSD RESPONSE TO THE INCIDENT AND HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE OF THE STRESS INDUCED ON MY BODY. I ALSO REQUIRED MEDICAL MASSAGES. MY FRONT DOOR HINGE ALSO WAS ABOUT TO BREAK THE SERVICE DEPT INFORMED ME AS WELL WHICH IS NOT ON THIS RECALL. OTHER OWNERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V177000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. ED BUTTS FORD (1515 N HACIENDA BLVD, LA PUENTE, CA 91744, (800) 960-3673) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE CLUTCH POP OUT OF GEAR. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY IT AUTOMATICALLY POPS OUT OF GEAR AND SLOWS DOWN. IF MY CAR IS ON CRAS COMO TELL IT WILL COME OUT OF GEAR. WHEN SHIFTING GEARS IT BECOMES DIFFICULT AND IT SEEMS TO SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED AND HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD TO AVOID BEING HIT. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN GARAGE DUE TO FEAR OF BEING HIT. TOOK TO REPAIR AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE. SO I DISMISSED THE REPAIR BUT STILL HAVE ISSUES LOOKING FOR MECHANIC TO FIX IT.

CAR IS OVERHEATING CONSTANTLY

ACCORDING TO THE DEAL A BEARING CAME LOSE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND SHOT THROUGH THE CASING. THE TRANSMISSION, CLUTCH, AND FLYWHEEL ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR A TOTAL OF $4700 PLUS TAX. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE CAR HAS 75K MILES ON IT AND SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES.

MY VEHICLE, AFTER LESS THAN 75K MILES BEGAN TO HAVE OVERHEATING PROBLEMS. I HAD VARIOUS PARTS REPLACED UNTIL FINALLY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HEAD GASKET HAD BLOWN ON IT. AFTER RESEARCHING FORUMS AND SITES WHERE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE OR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE, WERE EXPERIENCING ISSUES MUCH LIKE MINE. THE ENGINE HEAD IT MADE OF ALUMINIUM AND THE ENGINE BLOCK IS MADE OF CAT IRON. THIS FACT COUPLED WITH HIGH CYLINDER PRESSURES AND A NATURALLY HIGH ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE RESULTS IN VARIOUS PARTS FAILING TO TO EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND HEATING. ALTHOUGH FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE BY UPDATING THEIR REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS, THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE SAFETY OR MONETARY IMPACT OF THOSE WHO HAVE HAD TO REPAIR A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THEIR ENGINES.

THE FIRST TIME WAS BEFORE MARIA TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD OF CAROLINA IN PUERTO RICO. I WAS INFORMED TO CALL A NUMBER THAT WAS IN THE LETTER. I CALLED AND I NEVER GOT MY PHONE ANSWERED. THEN AFTER MARIA (THE HURRICANE) THEY WERE NOT TENDING TO ANYONE AND THERE WAS A ROLE LETTING US KNOW THAT I COULD GO TO FORD DE FAJARDO, FORD DE PONCE, FORD OF KENNEDY AVENUE OR THE FORD DE CAGUAS. FOR MY CONDITION, IT WAS PERTINENT TO BE CARED FOR IN CAROLINA. AFTER THAT DAY THEY CLOSED TRADES AND LEFT (SO AS NOT TO SERVE ANYONE). THEN 2 LETTERS ARRIVED AND INFORMED ME THAT I HAD TO WAIT FOR A THIRD LETTER TO ARRIVEN THE INFORMATION OF PROCEED TO REPAIR THE DOORS THAT OPEN WHEN THE CARRIAGE IS BEING DRIVEN FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

WHILE DRIVING ON A ONRAMP I SHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS THEN STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT COME BACK UP, I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL IT BACK UP. WHILE DRIVING DOWN CITY STREET I SHIFTED FROM 2ND TO 3RD AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL ONCE AGAIN STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND HAD TO BE MANUALLY PULLED UP. ALL FLUIDS ARE TOPPED OFF AND NOT ABOVE THE MAXIMUM LINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH MALFUNCTIONED AND THE DOOR FAILED TO REMAIN CLOSED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V177000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE.

THE LOCAL DEALER CHINO HILLS FORD LOCATED AT 4480 CHINO HILLS PKWY, CHINO, CA 91710 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I HAVE THREE OR MORE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE WENT A COUPLE YEARS AGO TO HAVE THEM REPAIRED I WAS TOLD I HAD PAID 120 JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE CAR SO I DIDN'T HAVE THEM REPAIRED I WENT TO YOUR SYSTEM AND SAW THAT IT WAS REPORTED THAT ALL MY RECALLS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND THAT'S A FALSE STATEMENT NONE OF MY RECALLS HAVE BEEN REPAIRMAN ON LASHES HAVE FALLEN OFF MY INSIDE WITH MY GAUGES IT IS COMING APART MY PHONE AREAS DON'T WORK ANYMORE MY AXLE OR STUDS IN THINGS HAVE BEEN MESSED UP THAT MESSED UP MY LIGHTS IN THE INSIDE OF THE CAR KEEPS FLICKERING.NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON IT WON'T GO OFF THE CAR HAS 214,000+ MILES ON IT AND I DON'T WANT TO BREAK APART I JUST PAID IT OFF.I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT TWICE THE RUBBER AROUND THE INSULATION OF THE DOORS IS COMING OFF THE AREAS WHERE YOU CAN SEE YOUR RADIO IN SPEEDOMETER AND FOGGED UP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I COULDN'T GET THE EGGS AND RADIO FREE FOR SIX MONTHS I HAVE THE SENSOR BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN ACTIVATE IT IN A STANDARD MODEL THE TIRE EXPLODED THREE WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE CAR I REPORTED THE RUBBING SOUND WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT'S WHAT NEW CARS SOUND LIKE AND THEN WANTS TO TIRE EXPLODED THE FORD DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO SEND IT TO THE CORPORATION THEY CLAIM THEY SAID IT WAS ROUTE HAS IT BUT I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING.THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPAIRED AFTER SIX MONTHS AND NOW IS ACTING UP AGAIN.

CLICKING SOUND JUST RANDOMLY STARTED FROM INSIDE THE DASHBOARD,WITHIN FEW SECONDS OF STARTING THE ENGINE. A QUICK YOUTUBE SEARCH CAME BACK WITH HVAC BLEND DOOR MOTOR AS THE CULPRIT. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE BUT A HUGE NUISANCE AS THESE SMALL PARTS STARTS RANDOMLY WEARING OUT IN LESS THAN 100K MILES / WITHIN 6 YEARS.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS FORD FIESTA WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE DAY IT WAS BUILT. FORD HAS BEEN SUED AND MUST TAKE CARE OF THE BILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS WHO BOUGHT THESE VEHICLES. THE ENGINE IS NOT EQUIPT TO HANDLE THIS TRANSMISSION AND EVENTUALLY BLOWS THE ENGINE, BEFORE ALL THAT HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION STALLS, AND LEAVES YOU ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN TREATED HORRIBLY BY THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR. THEY KNOW THIS IS A LEMON AND YET THEY CONTINUED TO SELL THIS CAR. LOOK AT THE VARGAS VS FORD TRANSMISSION CASE

COMING BACK FROM GROCERY SHOPPING, I ENTERED A PARKED CAR, PULLED OUT AND THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN. I PULLED BACK IN, AND WAS UNABLE TO LATCH CLOSE THE DOOR. NOT BLOCKED IN THE LOCKED POSITION, BUT UNABLE TO FASTEN WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED. I HAD TO BUY DUCT TAPE TO KEEP IT CLOSED. I LATER LEARNED THAT FORD HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND A PRE-RECALL NUMBER THAT REFLECTS MY ISSUE. 20S15. I AM REPORTING THIS AS IT IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I CAN NOT COPE LONG WITH THE BACK DOOR SEAT BELTED BY THE ARM. PLEASE BRING ENFORCEMENT PRESSURE TO THE FORD COMPANY. THANKS.

ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST SPONTANEOUSLY FAILS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. STEERING FAULT MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON DASH SCREEN. VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO STEER UNTIL ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED ON AGAIN. *TR

MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. *TR

A RECALL ABOUT THE COOLING SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY WAS ISSUED FOR CARS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY. I AM NOW HAVING THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T SHOWING UP ON THE ACTIVE RECALL LIST FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND I CANT GET IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE THE RECALL ISN'T ON THIS CAR. IT IS HAPPENING TO IT THOUGH AND WAS REPORTED ON 2014 FORD FIESTAS. DON'T KNOW WHY MINE ISN'T LISTED. IT OVERHEATS WHEN I AM IDLE BUT NOT IN MOTION. WHEN I COME TO A STOP, IN TRAFFIC OR AT A STOPLIGHT, THE AC GETS HOT AND THE OVERHEAT LIGHT POPS ON. WHEN IM MOVING THIS GOES AWAY AND THE AC GETS COLD AGAIN. WORRIED THIS IS BECAUSE OF DEFECT NOT JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

THROTTLE SENSOR. THROTTLE BODY AND THROTTLE BOX. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THIS. IT'S SAYING MECHANICAL FAILURE. AND AFTER CHECKING IT'S STILL SAYS THROTTLE SENSOR. *TR

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS. LATELY I?LL BE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT OR DRIVE THROUGH AND THE LIGHT THAT SAYS IT'S OVERHEATING COMES ON AND IF I DON'T TURN IT OFF IT WILL SHUT OFF ITSELF. THE FLUIDS ARE ALL FULL. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN GIVING ME TROUBLE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. I'LL PRESS THE GAS SLOWLY AND THE CAR JUMPS. I HAVE 4 MORE YEARS TO PAY ON THIS CAR! I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED ON THIS CAR'S PERFORMANCE

LOCKS, TODAY IS MAY 14, 2020. I WAS AT THE STORE AND TRYING TO LOCK MY CAR AND IT WILL NOT TURN TO LOCK SO I HAD TO LOCK FROM THE INSIDE, I ALREADY HAVE AND ISSUE WITH INE KEY NOT LOCKING THE DOORS NOW THE ACTUAL LOCK DOES NOT WANT TO LOCK WITH THE KEY. *TR

I WENT TO PICK UP MY NEPHEWS FROM THEIR BABYSITTER THIS WEEKEND AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME THE BACK DOOR BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT SWUNG OPEN. KEEP IN MIND I HAD TWO LITTLE KIDS IN THE BACK FREAKING OUT I SLOWLY MADE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CLOSE IT SO WE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY SO IT WOULDN'T DIE. ARIZONA IS A VERY HOT STATE BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE I'M SCARED THAT THE OTHER DOORS WILL DO THE SAME THING. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. *TR

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH NO LONGER CLOSES. WELL KNOWN ISSUE FOR OTHER 2014 FORD FIESTAS BUT RECALL DOES NOT LIST MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE.

I JUST PAID $2,333.00 FOR A TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE BEARINGS WERE OUT AND IT MADE A LOUD ROARING NOISE.

MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE OFF, I'M HAVING TROUBLE WHEN DRIVING WITH IT "SKIPPING" ITS HARDER FOR IT TO ACCELERATE WHEN DRIVING. YOU HEAR A FEW THUDS AND THEN MY RPMS WILL GO UP BEFORE THE CAR WILL MOVE. I DON'T REALLY KNOW THE PROPER TERMS. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME REGARDLESS IF I'M AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I'VE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION DO THIS. IT CAN BE SCARY WHEN I START TO DRIVE AND THEN MY CAR DOESN'T MOVE BUT INSTEAD MAKES THE THUDDING NOISE BEFORE EVENTUALLY TAKING OFF FASTER THAN EXPECTED. I CAN FEEL IT IN THE CAR WHEN THE THUDDING HAPPENS *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK WAS INOPERABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED DUE TO THE DOOR LATCH FAILURE DOOR WILL NOT STAY CLOSED.*JB

THE BEARINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION NEED REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A ROARING NOISE.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR FEBRUARY, 2016. AS WE DROVE THE CAR MORE, WE BEGAN TO NOTICE SHUTTERING AND CHATTERING. AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC TEST DROVE OUR CAR. HE SAID IT HAD A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER SHUTTER THAT GETS WORSE THE MORE YOU DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN IN SPORT MODE, WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM 1ST, IT SKIPS 2ND, AND GOES STRAIGHT TO 3RD. THERE WAS LOUD CLATTERING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN GEARING DOWN AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY UPHILL. MARCH 1, 2016, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON AT RAMEY FORD, PRINCETON, WV. MAY 31, 2016, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON AT RAMEY FORD, PRINCETON, WV. MAY 9, 2017, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON AT MOUNTAINEER AUTOMOTIVE, BECKLEY, WV. NOVEMBER 28, 2017, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON AT MOUNTAINEER AUTOMOTIVE, BECKLEY, WV. MARCH 3, 2020, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AT ACT AUTO, BECKLEY, WV BECAUSE THE CAR HAD BEEN MAKING A WHINING SOUND THAT CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT PUMP OF THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED. MY WIFE AND I ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE, FOR FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL STALL OUT OR CAUSE US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

MY DOOR ALL OF SUDDEN OPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET WHILE HAVING MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK STREET WHICH SCARED ME. THINKING IT WAS MY DOOR WHO OPEN THE DOOR BUT I HAVE THE CHILD SAFETY ON. BUT AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE I REALIZE THAT'S NOT PROBLEM. IT WAS MY DOOR THAT DOES WANT TO LATCH ANYMORE .

ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL OR BAD DESIGN OF SEMI RIGID COOLANT HOSE ALLOWED SYSTEM TO BOIL OUT COOLANT SLOWLY AND DAMAGE ENGINE BY THE TIME ANY TEMPERATURE INDICATION, AND IF GAUGE NOT NOTICED A RIGHT TIME, COOLANT BOILS OUT LEAVING THE TEMP SENOR IN AIR, THAT DOESN'T SHOW AS OVER TEMPERATURE. EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING LINK FROM FORD'S UK WEB, SAME ENGINE AND COOLANT SYSTEM: HTTPS://WWW.FORD.CO.UK/OWNER/RESOURCES-AND-SUPPORT/FAQS (SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE "ECOBOOST 1.0 ENGINE ISSUES) DEALER DETERMINED ENTIRE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED. CAN ONLY TALK TO FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO ONLY TAKE INFO AND SEND ON. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN ONLY DO THE SAME, FORD TOLD DEALER SINCE I'M "NOT ORIGINAL OWNER" THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. REPLACEMENT PART EXACTLY THE SAME DESIGN AND MATERIAL. MANY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND REMEDY SHOULD NOT BE CONTINGENT ON OWNER, IT IS THE PRODUCT THAT NEEDS FIXING REGARDLESS OF WHO OWNS IT. *DL

MY TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY... AND HAD TO REPLACE 2 BACK DOORS THEY WOULD NOT SHOT PROPERLY TOO..

I HAVE A 2014 FORD FIESTA WITH 88,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS THE FAULTY DPS6 TRANSMISSION THAT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND SHUDDERS SO BAD UNDER ACCELERATING THAT IT SOMETIMES BARELY MOVES, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD KNOWS IT! , I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO FORD TO ASSES THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY AGREED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THEY OFFER, THE PROBLEM IS MY VEHICLE HAS A REBUILT TITLE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO THE WARRANTY WORK EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FORD KNOW IT SINCE THEY ARE IN ARBITRATION FOR IT. JUST BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS A REBUILT TITLE DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT SHOULD NOT GET REPAIRED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE MADE A FACTORY RECALL SO THEY WILL HAVE TO FIX IT!

THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE ECOBOOST 1.0 MOTOR AND COOLING SYSTEM. THOUGH NOT MANY WERE SOLD IN THE US, IN THE UK THERE ARE MANY AND THE ISSUES ARE WELL KNOWN AND "OWNED" BY FORD UK. HTTPS://WWW.FORD.CO.UK/OWNER/RESOURCES-AND-SUPPORT/FAQS AND SELECT THE "1.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE ISSUE" TAB... MY ENGINE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE DUE TO COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE, EXACTLY AS LINED OUT ON THEIR WEB SITE IN THE ISSUE TAB. THE MATERIAL USE TO MAKE THE THIN DEGAS LINE BECOMES BRITTLE WHEN SUBJECTED TO HIGH HEAT, AS COOLING SYSTEMS ARE WONT TO BE, LEADING TO COOLANT BEING BOILED OUT. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT SINCE I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED FROM A FORD DEALER THOUGH, THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE THAT IS OWNED UP TO ON THEIR UK SITE. CAR TOWED TO FORD DEALER WHERE IT TOOK APPROX 2-WEEKS TO EVEN GET BACK WITH "WATER IN MOTOR, REPLACE" QUOTED OVER $5K. CALLED FORD INC. THEY SAY TALK TO DEALER, DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING, TALK TO FORD INC. THEY DID NOT REDESIGN THE PART, THEY DID NOT NOTIFY THAT IT WAS AN ALMOST CERTAIN POINT OF FAILURE. THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY TO SIDE STEP. BUT HIDING BEHIND "NOT ORIGINAL OWNER" FOR A ENGINEERING DEFECT THAT THEY ADMIT TO ON THE UK WEBSITE SMACKS OF "YOUR ARE TOO SMALL." ONLY SOLD A SMALL NUMBER OF THESE ENGINES IN THE US BUT MANY MANY MORE IN THE UK. SUSPECT THAT CHANGES THE CALCULUS OF HOW THEY HANDLE RESPONSIBILITY. THIS WASN'T SOME RANDOM FAILURE, THEY KNEW IT WAS AN ISSUE, THAT THERE WAS A MORE THAN OFF CHANCE THAT IT WOULD RESULT IN ENGINE DAMAGE, AND WHAT OWNER NUMBER A CAR HAS SHOULDN'T MATTER. SOME NOTICE AND SOLUTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED.

MY RADIO STARTED ACTING STRANGELY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. WHEN THE RADIO WAS ON THERE WAS IRREGULAR SQUEALING COMING FROM IT. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED, THE SQUEALING WAS ONLY WHEN THE RADIO WAS ON AND I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. LATER, THE SQUEALING ALSO STARTED TO INCLUDE LOUD POPPING NOISES, VERY MUCH LIKE AN OLD STEREO SPEAKER LOSING ITS WIRE CONNECTION. THE LOUD POPPING WAS VERY INCONSISTENT . IT THEN STARTED HAPPENING EVERY TIME I WAS IN THE CAR. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF THE RADIO WAS ON OR NOT. I EVEN TRIED TURNING DOWN THE VOLUME, WHILE THE RADIO WAS OFF. THE POPPING NOISE WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND DISTRACTING WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE . MANY TIME BECAUSE THE POP WAS SO LOUD I WOULD JERK THE STEERING WHEEL IN ONE DIRECTION OR ANOTHER. PASSENGERS THAT RODE IN MY CAR DURING SOME OF THE INCIDENCES HAD COMMENTED ON IT HURTING THEIR EARS AND MAKING THEM JUMP OR JERK IN THEIR SEAT. THEN, ONE DAY THE POPPING WAS HAPPENING ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY AND THEN JUST STOPPED. NOW LEAVING ME WITHOUT A RADIO AND PHONE CONNECTION. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON DEFECT IN THE FORD FIESTA. THE ERRATIC LOUD POPPING IS A VERY DANGEROUS DISTRACTION WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND I FEEL IT IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY HAZARD.

CAR HAS APPROX 35K MILES. CAR DROVE FINE TO LOCATION. UPON STARTING CAR TO LEAVE LOCATION, THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. SHUTTING OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTING RESOLVED THE ISSUE, HOWEVER, LEAVES CONCERNS REGARDING THE RELIABILITY OF THE POWER STEERING AS NO IMMEDIATE CAUSE COULD BE DETERMINED BY MECHANIC.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN RETIRING TOWING TO REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD. OTHER VINS FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL WERE RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. I HAD TO PAY TO REPAIR AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL.

ITS GEAR OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM .. WHICH THE CAR WILL HAVE VIBRATION OR THEY CALL IT SHUTTERING .. ITS REPEATATIVE .. FORD WILL FIX AND RETURN THE CAR .. AFTER FEW MONTHS IT WILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN WHEN I ASKED ABOUT IT THEY SAID ITS FAMOUS FOR SOME CARS LIKE FIGO , FOCUS, FIEATA AND ECOSPORT .THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED BUT THE WARRANTY IS EXTENDED AND NOT ANNOUNCED .. BY CHANCE I KNEW THAT .. DOORS LOCKER .. SUDDENLY ONE OF THE FOUR DOORS WONT CLOSE TRYING TO SHUT THE DOOR BUT IT WONT CLOSE THE BEST SOLUTION WAS TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND TIE IT WITH SEAT BUILT ( AS EMERGENCY PROCEDURE TILL I REACH TO AGENCY OR GARAGE ) IT HAPPENED TWICE WITH MY CAR. BUT NO RECALL WHICH IS UNSAFE . FOR THE TRANSMISSION STARTED WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR.

VEHICLE DISPLAYED INACCURATE FUEL INFO (MPG, MILES TIL EMPTY) AND WOULD STALL AFTER FUELING; DEALERSHIP NOTED THAT DEFECTIVE CANISTER PURGE VALVE WAS THE CAUSE

THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY YARD AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR AND ON AGAIN WOULD GO AWAY THEN WOULD RETURN AGAIN BEING STATIONARY

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. CLUTCH SHUDDER SLOW ACCELERATION FORD DEALERSHIP IN ELDORADO SERVICED IT BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST

WHEN DRIVING AND COME TO A STOP, THE CAR WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. IT DOES THIS WHEN SITTING AT A STOP OR TRYING TO TAKE OFF OR BACK UP.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF THE FIRST GEAR UPON INITIAL TAKE OFF/ACCELERATION RENDERING VEHICLE MOTIONLESS, SOMETIMES TWICE IN A ROW - CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN VEHICLE MOVED ACROSS TRAFFIC LINES WITH OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHING FROM THE SIDE.

THE ISSUE IN QUESTION INVOLVES THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM. THERE WAS PREVIOUSLY A RECALL ISSUED FOR FORD FIESTA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2012 AND 2014. MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 MODEL AND THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS RECALL WAS PUT INTO EFFECT EITHER IN 2014 OR 2015 WHEN THE ISSUE BECAME PROMINENT AND PRONOUNCED. THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT AND/OR ISSUE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR JUST DECIDED NOT TO LATCH TWO DAYS AGO WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK AFTER RETRIEVING ITEMS FROM THE BACK SEAT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING TO SEE IF IT COULD BE RECTIFIED AS WELL AS FIND OUT IF ANY ACTIVE RECALLS WERE PRESENTLY UNREPAIRED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS FOR THE DOOR LATCH SYSTEM, HOWEVER IT IS FEASIBLE AND RECOMMENDED THAT ANOTHER RECALL BE ISSUED IN LIGHT OF MY RECENT DOOR LATCH ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK AND MY ENGINE TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND LOST ALL COOLANT WITH NO APPARENT LEAKS. WE FILLED UP THE COOLANT TWICE AND WITHIN MINUTES IT HAD ALL DISAPPEARED.

VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDERNEATH ENGINE AREA, UNSURE WHY AS OF NOW BUT DO HAVE FIRE REPORT. BOUGHT VEHICLE SATURDAY AND BY MONDAY IT WAS ON FIRE.OIL WAS SPILLING OUT OF BOTTOM.

MY SON HIT SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM WHO HAD SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES, HIT A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AND SLAMMED DIRECTLY INTO THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM. ONLY THE AIR BAG BY HIS FEET WENT OFF. NONE OF THE OTHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE SEATBELT ALSO DID NOT LOCK UP IMMEDIATELY. HE SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION, LEFT SHOULDER INJURY, NECK PAIN, AND BRUISING TO HIS CHEST AND ABDOMEN FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. HE HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. THE CAR IS TOTALED AND IS IN A SALVAGE LOT ON HOLD FOR A WEEK IN CASE YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT.

I HAD A RECALL I HAD MY CAR TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP IN ELDORADO ARKANSAS THEY CHARGE ME $440 AND REPLACED A COOLING FAN THAT I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR GETTING HOT. A FEW WEEKS LATER I HAD RECALL TCM AND LATER CLUTCH SHUDDER, AFTER THE LAST RECALL MY CAR STILL HAVING SLOW ACCELERATION, IT HESITATES EVEN WORSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR SUDDENLY OPENED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V210000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) OR 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES); THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

THE DOOR LATCH ON MY CAR BROKE AFTER PUTTING SOMETHING IN THE BACK SEAT. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED THE DOOR IS VERY RARELY USED. DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL THAT OTHER FORD FIESTAS HAVE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM DUE TO DATE OFF BY ONLY 1-2 MONTHS OF CAR MANUFACTURED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE AROUND AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME, WHICH WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD OF CLERMONT (1101 E HWY 50, CLERMONT, FL 34711) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL BRAKE FLUID LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A SHUDDER THAT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. AFTER THE BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED, THE DEALER CALLED THE CONTACT AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE ENTIRE BRAKE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, THE DEALER CALLED THE CONTACT BACK AND ADVISED HIM THAT THE ABS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. *BF CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER, LETTER STATED THE CONTACT MIGHT OF HIT SOMETHING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKELINE TO BREAK. ALTHOUGH, VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.*JB

WHILE DRIVING THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL WITHOUT ANY WARNING FROM THE SENSORS. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW DAYS. CAR WOULD NOT START. TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE READ OTHER ACCOUNTS WHERE CAR STALLED OR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS HAS HAD MORE ATTENTION IN THE UK AND FORD IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT WITHOUT ISSUING A RECALL BUT NOT DOING HERE IN THE US.

THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR'S LATCH STOPPED WORKING. NO DAMAGES OR ACCIDENTS WERE DONE TO MY CAR. I RARELY USE THE REAR OF MY CAR. HOWEVER, MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T SHOW A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY SPECIFIC CAR EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR MY SPECIFIC YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. ALSO, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR'S LATCH BROKE IN THE EXACT SAME WAY AS THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR'S LATCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND PERSONAL HARM. I WANT TO GET ALL MY LATCH'S FIXED, REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE ONE I HAD TO PAY FOR, AND AN APOLOGY FROM FORD. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND THE RESULT SHOWED "0 UNREPAIRED RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VIN". HOWEVER, THIS SPECIFIC RESPONSE DOES NOT MEAN THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CAR. IT MEANS THAT THE RECALLS THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR HAVE BEEN FIXED. HOWEVER, WHAT IF THE DOOR LATCH THEY USED TO "FIX" THE RECALL FOR IT WAS FAULTY AS WELL? HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO CHECK WHETHER THE RECALL THAT WAS COMPLETED WAS FOR THE DOOR LATCH'S? HOW DO I GET FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR (TWO FAULTY DOOR LATCHES WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER) NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON IT AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE? I WANT TO DISCOURAGE THE BUYING OF FORD CARS AS I HAVE HEARD OF MANY ISSUES WITH FORD CARS AND I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THEM MYSELF. I AM FILLING THIS REPORT IN HOPES TO HELP OTHERS NOT JUST MYSELF. DOOR LATCHES BREAKING CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS HARM.

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. FORD DEALER COULDN'T DECODE THE PROBLEM. THEY ASK THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED.

STILL HAVE INTERMITTENT SHAKING AND THE CAR ROLLS BACK WHEN ON AN INCLINE LIKE A STANDARD. ALSO, AFTER MAKING TURNS THERE IS A HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DID NOT LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COVERT FORD OF HUTTO (512-759-1414, LOCATED AT 1200 U S 79, HUTTO, TX 78634) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

I HAVE FORD FIESTA 2014. . THE RADIO NOT WORKING. WHEN I SEARCH ON INTERNET, YOUTUBE I NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ( FORD FIESTA OWNERS) HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD COMPANY MAY FIX IT.

SHUDDER AND DELAYED ACCELERATION

DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY, EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES FELL OFF, DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOORS. CITING AN OPEN RECALL NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY RECALLS RECALL NUMBER 15V246000 04/25/2015 LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOOR:LATCH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COOLANT SYSTEM ON THE ENGINE FAILED SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. WHEN THE FAILURE INITIALLY OCCURRED, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BOB DAVIDSON FORD LINCOLN (1845 E JOPPA RD, BALTIMORE, MD 21234, 410-661-6400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS DEFECTIVE AND A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED A USED ENGINE AND PERFORMED THE REPAIR ON HIS OWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

AFTER GETTING A LETTER OFFERING A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT, I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY DID WAS DIAGNOSE IT. STILL LURCHES FORWARD AT LOWER SPEEDS AND THERE'S A LACK OF POWER IF YOU GET ON IT LIKE SEA DOO IN DEEP WATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS UNLOCKED AND WOULD NOT LOCK AGAIN. IN ADDITION, A DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERGE FORD (LOCATED AT 460 E AUTO CENTER DR, MESA, AZ 85204) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,884.

THE DEALER REFUSES TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION STILL HESITATING ,LUNGING AND SLIPPING AT TAKE OFF.

MY CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH AT START, AND WAS MISFIRING SEVERELY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE COMING ON. THE PROBLEM WOULD SUBSIDE AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, BUT IF THE CAR SAT AND WAS ALLOWED TO COOL FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME, THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A SERVICE CENTER AT WHICH POINT THE CAR THE CAR WOULD NOT START ANYMORE. I WENT TO START THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT NEVER FIRE AND START. AFTER INVESTIGATION THE SHOP FOUND THE CYLINDER HEAD HAD CRACKED AND MY SPARK PLUGS & CYLINDERS WERE ALL FULL OF COOLANT DUE TO A LEAK. AFTER MINIMAL RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES, AND THERE WAS A NATIONWIDE RECALL IN THE UK DUE TO THIS ISSUE CAUSING CARS TO COMBUST INTO FLAMES WHILE DRIVING. HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL IN EFFECT FOR THE SAME CARS IN THE UNITED STATES. MY CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE THAT WILL REQUIRE A COMPLETE REBUILD, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IF I DID NOT IMMEDIATELY TAKE IT FOR SERVICE. THE SHOP IS BUILDING A QUOTE FOR ME THAT I WILL UPLOAD ONCE AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY ON ACCELERATION. MULTIPLE REPROGRAMMING OF PCM/ TCM.

EXCESSIVE SHUDDERING, JERKING AND RATTLING NOISES AT ACCELERATION

I HAD TO RECENTLY PARK MY VEHICLE. REBUILT MY TRANSMISSION 70,000 & 92,000 TRANSMISSION STILL CONTINUED TO SLIP, NO POWER ON FREEWAY.

CLUTCH PEDAL WILL STAY STUCK DOWN IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION 6 SPEED. INTERMITTENT, BUT REPEATABLE (NOT EVERY TIME BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO STOP HAPPENING) PREVENTS CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING. CAN HAPPEN WHETHER SHIFTING STOPPED OR WHILE IN MOTION. LIFTING ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL BY HAND (OR FOOT) WILL REENGAGE THE CLUTCH. HAS HAPPENED WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IN AN INTERSECTION, COULD NOT PROCEED UNDER POWER IN ANY GEAR TILL MANUALLY (AWKWARDLY) REACHING DOWN AND LIFTING PEDAL WHILE TRAFFIC APPROACHING ME.

DOOR LATCH ON BACK DRIVERS SIDE OPENED DURING MOVEMENT OF CAR ON A CITY STREET. MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BUT WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE DOOR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO FORD AND THE VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 3 MILLION CARS SERVICED FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE OVERHEATS FREQUENTLY WHILE IDLING. ENGINE COOLANT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND TOPPED OFF. FUSES HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

AUG. 11, 2019 WENT OUT TO TURN ON THE CAR AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I GOT A BOOST AND THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND THE LIGHTS STILL DIDN'T TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP HAD THE FUEL CHANGED STILL NOTHING. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BEARINGS. I DO NOT HAVE THAT TYPE OF MONEY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE I'VE ONLY HAD IT TWO AND A HALF YEARS.

MAJOR PROBLEMS IN MY 2014 FORD FIESTA WITH THE DPS6 DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. AT TIMES YOU CANNOT GET IT TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CANNOT GET YOU CAR TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH BECAUSE IT IS STUCK IN FIRST. TACH IS HITTING 7000 RPM'S BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET IT TO SHIFT. YOU HAVE TO KEEP SLOWING AND ACCELERATING UNTIL IT FINALLY SHIFTS. THEN THE OTHER MAJOR PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK IT REALLY IS NOT IN PARK. A WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND WARNS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PARKED AND TAKEN THE KEY OUT. IF I AM ON A SLOPE THE CAR WILL START ROLLING. YOU HAVE TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE THERE IS NO RELIABLE WAY TO GET IT TO GO INTO PARK. I HAVE THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE ONGOING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO MINE. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD ONCE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE SAME THINGS WERE HAPPENING AGAIN.

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AND DIES AT LOW SPEEDS, FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS IT AS A PART OF THEIR RECALLS, WAS TOLD I NEED TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET, VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND SPORADIC OCCURRENCES OF STALLING. ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF BEFORE THE VEHICLE BEGINS STALLING. IT WILL QUITE LITERALLY SIEZE UP ON OCCASION AND NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WILL ALSO RANDOMLY DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING USING GEARS 2-3.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL UPON AGGRESSIVE ACCELERATION. JERKY SHIFTING AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS.

RIGHT REAR DOOR LATCH STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR SWING OPEN. I STOPPED TO CLOSE IT BUT IT BOUNCED OFF THE FRAME WITH EACH ATTEMPT. WOULD NOT LATCH NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED. HAD TO PUT CAR IN GARAGE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE CONTENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LATCHING SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GLEN JONES FORD CASA GRANDE (1932 NORTH PINAL AVENUE, CASA GRANDE, AZ) TO BE REPAIRED FOR THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE LATCH, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V210000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TAKATA RECALL CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERS TAKATA RECALL GEAR CHANGE IS ROUGH WILE DRIVING FOREWORDS SHUDDERS I HAVE TO TURN KEY ON AND OFF MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START LOUD CLUNK WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN TAKATA RECALL TOOK CAR IN FOR SYNC RECALL MANY TIMES STILL NOT FIXED

THE DOOR LATCH ON THE BACK DOOR DOESN'T WORK, I SEE A RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE TYPE BUT NOT MY VIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. ALSO, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY JERKED AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT REFRAINED FROM DRIVING HIGHWAYS SPEEDS OUT OF CONCERN THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION AND CRASH. WYATT JOHNSON FORD (646 THOMPSON LANE, NASHVILLE, TN 37204, 615-244-3615) WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUDDERING FOR YEARS AND UNTIL EVEN THE LAST DAY THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE TO REACT WITH THE SHUDDERINGS BEFORE TAKING OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LITE KEEPS COMING ON AND AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT A MINUTE CAR DOES NOT REVERSE AT ALL UNTIL CARS SHUT OFF. CAR RIGHT NOW IS NOT BEING DRIVEN BECAUSE ITS BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SOME TIME NOW. THIS IS MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. I NOW HAVE BEEN RENTING CARS WHILE I STILL PAY OFF THIS CAR TILL THIS DAY. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN LYING TO ME. I HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER AND GOT A LOW CLUTCH DUAL CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR. I GOT THE PART CHANGED OUT AND CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE LITE. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER EVERY MONTH. FOR YEARS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NEVER REALIZED HOW FORD HAS PUT ME AND MY DAUGHTER IN DANGER BY HAVING THESE FAULTY VEHICLES WITH MESSED UP TRANSMISSION THAT DIDN'T BELONG IN THESE TYPES OF VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET FIXED ONCE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A RECALL AND WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THE FIX AND IT CONTINUED AFTER SOME TIME TO GO BACK TO ITS USUAL SHAKE BEFORE TAKE OFF. LIKE I SAID THE LAST TIME I WENT FOR OIL CHANGE AND FULL INSPECTION OF VEHICLE AT SCARSDALE FORD DEALERSHIP THE MECHANIC SAID HE TOOK IT OUT FOR A DRIVE AND SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. AFTER I DROVE IT OUT THE DEALERSHIP CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE AND KNEW THAT HE WAS LYING. THEY JUST DONT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP I OWE OVER $4000 LEFT ON PAYMENTS AND THIS CAR ISNT WORTH NOT EVEN A PENNY FOR THE DANGER IT PUT ME THROUGH EVERYTIME I TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE. WHENEVER MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LITE CAME ON WAS WHEN I WAS ON LOCAL ROADS AND HIGHWAY. THE CAR AS OF NOW DOES NOT REVERSE BUT WHEN DRIVEN IT ALSO DOESNT CHANGE ITS GEARS PROPERLY IT SKIPS GEAR 2 SOMETIMES AND CAR SHAKES.

SATURDAT JULY 30, 2019MY VEHICLE OVERHEATED.VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR COOLING MAINTENANCE. RADIATOR THERMOSTAT AND COOLING RESERVOIR WAS CHECKED. I WAS ADVISED TO MONITOR THE COOLANT LEVEL. ON AIGUST 10, 2019 WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED "OVERHEATING". I PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD. WHEN I OPEN THE HOOD THE COOLANT WAS BOILING. I WAITED 20 MINS FOR THE BOILING TO SUBSIDE. I SLOWLY REMOVED THE CAP AND THE COOLANT LEVEL STARTED TO RISE WHICH WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE.

TCM IT HAS A SLOW ACCELERATION IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR IT TO PICK UP SPEED AND THE CAYATIC CONVERTER

I LEASED THE CAR THROUGH MY BANK ON MAY 5TH 2016 WITH JUST OVER 35,000 MILES. TWO MONTHS INTO THAT THE CAR DIDN'T START AND ALL ELECTRONIC LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING. IT DISPLAYED TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. I TOWED THE CAR TO A BIG FORD REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION UPDATE AND A NEW CLUTCH. THEY TOOK CARE OF IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVEN (7) TIMES SINCE I GOT THE CAR MAY 2016. PRETTY MUCH EVERY FOUR MONTHS. IT IS COMPLETELY INCONVENIENT AND COSTLY. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE EVAP FUEL COMPONENTS. I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON NOW AND IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. THE LAST TIME I GOT A TRANSMISSION UPDATE FROM FORD WAS IN MARCH 2019. MY CAR NOW BARELY HAS 66,200 MILES SO IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH. I STILL OWE $4,800 ON THE CAR. I LEASED IT FOR $12,000. I AM HOPING I AM ABLE TO GET SOME HELP OR SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION FOR DEALING WITH THE ISSUES FOR YEARS. I TRADED IN A GOOD WORKING JEEP TO GET THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD ON GAS AND ECONOMICAL. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD CAR. I WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD CAR. I WOULDN'T WANT TO GET BURNED AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING COOLANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DONLEY FORD-LINCOLN OF ASHLAND (1641 CLAREMONT AVE, ASHLAND, OH 44805, (419) 281-3673) AND THEY REPAIRED THE HOSE THAT WAS LEAKING THE COOLANT. FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER FROM THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A CRACK IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO INSTALL A NEW ENGINE AND THE REPAIR COST WAS QUOTED AT $5,000. THE VEHICLE'S EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 100,000 MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED, LUNGED FORWARD, AND HESITATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONTACT HAD TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VANCE FORD LINCOLN (510 N MAIN ST, MIAMI, OK 74354, (800) 725-4431) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVELINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,747.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR HAS HAD SHUTTERING, AND I HAVE LOST ACCELERATION AT TIMES. THESE EVENTS HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND I AM DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION WORK. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES, AND IT HAS HAD REPROGRAMMING SEVERAL TIMES. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I WAS TOLD I HAVE ONE MORE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT FROM FORD, THEN MY WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE. DOCUMENTATION CAN BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST.

PART 2: THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF THE COMPLAINT FOLLOWING THE TRADE-IN OF THE 2012 FOCUS I PURCHASED BRAND NEW...SO, SICK OF THE FOCUS ACTING UP ALL THE TIME, I TOOK IT BACK INTO JIM SNEAD FORD, WAYNESBORO, VA AND HE ENCOURAGES ME TO BUY A BRAND NEW FIESTA. I DID NOT COMPLAIN AS HE WAS MY SOLE MAIN GUIDANCE AND I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST JIM. ON 08/09/2013, I PURCHASE A BRAND NEW FORD FIESTA TRADING IN THE 2012 FORD FOCUS. JIM SNEAD ALLOWS ONLY $961 TRADE IN VALUE FOR THE FOCUS AND I LOST $23,690.68 ON DEPRECIATION AND MONTHLY PAYMENTS! I BUY THE FIESTA AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. THE CAR'S TIRES SPIN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP THEN THE VEHICLE JUMPS OUT FORWARD. THE CAR RIDES ROUGH, IT BUCKS, IT MISSES, IT MAKES NOISES, IT SHUDDERS. THIS TIME I AM NOT VERY HAPPY NOR PLEASANT WITH MR. JIM SNEAD. I WAS A TEACHER, A WIDOW W/ TWO KIDS STILL DEPENDENT ON ME AND HERE HE SELLS ME ANOTHER 'CRAP', TERRIFYING CAR THAT SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN. OF COURSE, ACCORDING TO MR. SNEAD, IT IS MY DRIVING--NOT THE CAR. I NOTICE THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT WRITING UP MY COMPLAINTS EVERY TIME I BRING IT IN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION-JUST LIKE THEY LEFT IT OUT OF MY COMPLAINTS WITH THE FOCUS.THE FIESTA RECEIVES ITS FIRST OF 3 TRANSMISSIONS A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR ON 09/23/2014. WHILE I AM DRIVING AROUND W/ THE SERVICE MANAGER SO HE CAN FEEL HOW TERRIBLE THE CAR RUNS, HE ADMITS TO ME THE CAR IS A BUNCH OF JUNK AND I NEED TO START READING UP ON IT. NOW THE FIESTA IS IN THE SHOP OFTEN AND MR. SNEAD AND I ARE NOT VERY FRIENDLY.I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS, BUT I HAVE TO WRITE IN THE CAR IS RUNNING RAGGFED AS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT PUT IT IN THE REPORT. I WANT MR. SNEAD TO BUY THE CAR BACK, BUT HE REFUSES.EVERY MONTH THAT ROLLS BY IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN W/ THE FIESTA. ANOTHER 'DOLLAR BLEEDER', UNSAFE CAR!! *JS

I PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FIESTA NEW IN JANUARY 2014. IT HAS THE INFAMOUS DPS6 TRANSMISSION. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT IS A STANDARD TRANSMISSION IN AN AUTOMATIC BOX. IT DID THE SHUDDER FROM DAY ONE. I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE I HAD DRIVEN MANY STANDARD TRANSMISSION VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND FIGURED IT WAS SUPPOSED TO ACT THAT WAY. IN JANUARY OF 2018, I HAD STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET IN COLORADO SPRINGS, CO WHERE I LIVE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR OR GO FASTER THAN 5 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER SITTING THERE FOR 20 MINUTES AND SHIFTED THE GEARS BOX FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL TO DRIVE, I FINALLY GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR SHIFTED BUT VERY SLOWLY. THIS WAS ON A SUNDAY. THE NEXT DAY I MADE AN SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH PHIL LONG FORD WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THEM THAT WEEK AND THEY RAN THE VIN AND IT WAS NOT IN THE WARRANTY BATCH TO REPLACE THE CLUTCHES. THEY CALLED FORD AND ASKED THEM TO COVER THE REPAIR. FORD DECLINED. THE SERVICE ADVISER GAVE ME FORD'S 800 CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE. THEY BUILT A CASE BASED ON MY INFORMATION. A DAY LATER I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AND EMAIL TELLING ME THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND FORD WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. PHIL LONG FORD ESTIMATED THE REPAIR AT $2,200.00 BUT SINCE FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE COST AND I PURCHASED THE FIESTA FROM THEM, THEY DID THE REPAIR FOR $1,500.00 OUT OF POCKET COST. I'M JUST A SIMPLE WORKING MAN AND CAN'T AFFORD THOSE TYPES OF REPAIRS. I HAD TO PUT THE CHARGE ON MY CREDIT CARD. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD DUE TO THEIR TOTAL LACK OF CONCERN AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. THE CAR STILL DOESN'T OPERATE PROPERLY.

TAKATA RECALL MY A/C STARTED TO FAIL WITH NO WARNING. AFTER PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK, SMOKE STARTED TO RISE FROM THE ROOF AND A DARK COLOR LIQUID (PERHAPS OIL) STARTED TO LEAK FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CONCLUDED THE COOLANT WAS LOW AND IT MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT CONTACT WITH THE ENGINE, CAUSING IT TO SMOKE. THIS INITIAL CONCLUSION FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAN LED TO THEM CLAIMING; THE TUBES HAD A HOLE, THE FAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE BELT WAS HEAT DAMAGED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN CASH FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AS USED, BUT A "FORD CERTIFIED" CAR; MEANING IT WENT THROUGH A RIGOROUS 172 POINT INSPECTION WHERE THEY EXAMINE THE CARS COOLANT, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, BREAKS, ETC. HOWEVER, THIS IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH BECAUSE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY FORD CERTIFIED VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT AND FORD HAD TO REPLACE/FIX IT FOR FREE. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, AND I'VE ALREADY HAVE HAD TWO MAJOR CAR PROBLEMS! I REQUESTED FOR A BUYBACK AND FORD SAYS THEY AREN'T ABLE TO DO SO. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT I PAID FOR THIS FORD CERTIFIED VEHICLE IN CASH, JUST TO BE DUPED. MY MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE BOTH COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS BOTH THESE ISSUES. IN CONCLUSION, I HAVE BEEN SOLD A VEHICLE THAT IS FALSELY ADVERTISED AND A DANGER ON THE ROAD, WITH LITTLE TO NO HELP FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP.

ON JULY 23 2019, I NOTICED MY CAR DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN ONE YEAR. FORD IS PUTTING MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN DANGER. LAST YEAR, IT WAS THE LEFT REAR DOOR, MORE RECENTLY IT WAS THE DRIVER'S DOOR.

MY CAR NEVER ACCELERATED RELIABLY, ESPECIALLY IN LOWER GEARS. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CONSTANTLY SHAKE AND SHUDDER. MY WIFE FINALLY REFUSED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE AFTER THE CAR REPEATEDLY RESPONDED EXCEEDINGLY SLOW TO HER PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHEN TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC. SHE WOULD BE STOPPED, WAITING TO CROSS TRAFFIC. WHEN THERE WAS A LONG BREAK IN TRAFFIC, SHE'D PRESS THE GAS AND CAR WOULD CRAWL AHEAD MUCH MORE SLOWLY THAN YOU'D EXPECT WITH HOW FAR SHE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. ONCOMING TRAFFIC WOULD THEN CATCH UP TO HER AND HAVE TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL THE CAR EVENTUALLY MADE IT ACROSS. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I OWNED THE CAR. THE DATE I NOTE IN THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" FIELD REPRESENTS THE DATE I HAD THE FIRST CLUTCH REPAIR DONE ON THE CAR (AT 18,756 MILES).

WENT OUT TO THE CAR LAST NIGHT 17 JULY 2019 AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT JUST CHIMED AND ALL THE LIGHTS BLINKED ON AND OFF. WENT OUT IN THE MORNING 17 JULY 2019 @0630 TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR MADE LOUD CLICKING SOUNDS AROUND THE TRANSMISSION AREA. ALSO THERE IS A MESSAGE IN THE CLUSTER CENTER THAT READS "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WERE OCCASIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SPUTTER AND VIBRATE ABNORMALLY WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GAUDIN FORD (LOCATED AT 6625 W ROY HORN WAY, LAS VEGAS, NV 89118, (702) 534-3094) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH INSTALLED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE DSP6 TRANSMISSION, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN QUITE A FEW ACCIDENTS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET AND THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND SHAKES SO BADLY THAT I LOSE POWER AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT. FORD NEEDS TO BE HONEST AND UPFRONT WITH THE HARDWORKING PEOPLE THAT SHELLED OUT GOOD MONEY AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM!

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 40-50 MPH, ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ACTIVATES, VEHICLE PULLED OVER TO AUTO SHOP. MECHANIC MENTIONED SAME ISSUE WITH SAME MODEL AND YEAR FORD FIESTAS HAVING SAME ISSUE OF OVERHEATING CAUSING DAMAGE TO ENGINE PISTONS. RECALL COVERED MODEL ST NOT THIS MODEL OF SE FOR SAME ISSUE ON SAME ENGINE.

MY CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS GO WHEN THE GAS IS HIT. WHEN YOU GO TO PULL OUT WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS STALLING OUT, SHAKES, MAKES GRINDING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE ISSUES. I'VE HAD THE DUAL CLUTCH REPLACED AND MODULE REPROGRAMMED A FEW TIMES. I WAS TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES BY THE FORD TECH, THAT THE SHUTTERING IS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I HAD OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE MY CAR AND THEY ALSO AGREE THAT IT SHOULDN'T DRIVE HOW IT DOES. I HAVE TO AVOID STEEP HILLS BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.

CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING, AND HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. SOMETIMES WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE FORWARD FOR AS LONG AS 7 SECONDS, WHEN IT WILL FINALLY JERK FORWARD ABRUPTLY. THE CAR FREQUENTLY BUCKS FORWARD EVEN WHILE BRAKING OR COASTING. FORD HAS 'REPROGRAMMED' THE CAR MANY TIMES AND REPLACED THE CLUTCH AND ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE. THIS ONLY FIXED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY, BUT IT RETURNED IN A FEW WEEKS.

2014 FORD FIESTA 47,000 MILES NOW NOT ONLY HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT SUDDENLY A LEAKING WATER PUMP. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL CAR SITES, THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THE WATER PUMP LEAK. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE FROM THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT TOO BAD, I'M OUT OF LUCK AND WILL HAVE TO PAY $724 OUT OF POCKET TO GET IT FIXED. THIS CAR HAS HAD TOO MANY RECALLS AND IT WAS BARELY DRIVEN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO PAY UP AND MAKE BETTER CARS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY HAVE LOST A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND EVENTUALLY RESUMED NORMAL SPEED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CAPITAL FORD (3660 S CARSON ST, CARSON CITY, NV 89701, (775) 882-5353) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30.

CAR SHUDDERS AND HESITATES ACCELERATION BETWEEN 10-15 MPH WHEN VEHICLE ACCELERATES FROM A STOP. THIS IS A RE-OCCURRING ISSUE AFTER THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND SEAL HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES. FROM SEPTEMBER 2014 TO PRESENT.

TRANSMISSION IS 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC, CONSTANTLY SHUDDERS, FAILS TO ENGAGE, DISENGAGES WHILE DRIVING. HAS BEEN "REPAIRED" NUMEROUS TIMES AND ACTS UP WITHING A FEW THOUSAND MILES AGAIN. WHEN TRYING TO BACK UP, AS IN PARKING DOWNTOWN, REVERSE FAILS TO ENGAGE OR POPS OUT OF REVERSE LEAVING ME IN TRAFFIC. CAR IS NO LONGER RELIABLE AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ANYWHERE DUE TO THIS TRANSMISSION.

WHILE PARKED TO FUEL MY CAR, I OPENED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR. UPON CLOSING THE DOOR IT WOULD CLOSE BUT IT WOULD NOT LATCH. I HAD TO SECURE THE DOOR CLOSED WITH THE REAR SEATBELT TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT THE DOOR OPENING WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

THE DSP6 DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS. THIS IS EXHIBITED VIA FREQUENT SHUTTERING, STALLING, LURCHING FORWARD, AND LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER WHEN IT SWITCHES TO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IN ONE INSTANCE THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD INTO AN INTERSECTION AT WHICH POINT I WAS ALMOST HIT BY CROSS TRAFFIC. IN ANOTHER INSTANCE, TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL ON IT'S OWN AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN CAR IS IN DRIVE AND ADVANCING. IT IS DANGEROUS WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A PASS OR TRYING TO MOVE FROM STANDING ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT

CLUTCH FAILS TO CATCH PROPERLY WHEN CHANGING GEARS. SOMETIMES WHEN DOWNSHIFTING, IT WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL FOR A SECOND OR TWO, THEN CATCH AT A HIGH RPM CAUSING A SUDDEN LURCH FORWARD POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, OR COMING TO A RED LIGHT TURNING GREEN, THE BRAKING AND ACCELERATING PATTERN CONFUSES THE TRANSMISSION, OFTEN GUESSING THE WRONG GEAR TO SHIFT INTO, EXACERBATING THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUE. PARTICULARLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR TURNS, AND THEN ACCELERATING DURING OR AFTER THE TURN, THE GEARS WILL GRIND AND FAILS TO PROPERLY TRANSMIT ADEQUATE POWER, CAUSING POTENTIALLY CAUSING A T-BONE ACCIDENT WHEN DOING A LEFT TURN OR CAUSING A REAR END ACCIDENT WHEN TURNING RIGHT ONTO TRAFFIC. WHEN CHANGING FROM FORWARD INTO REVERSE, THE CLUTCH FAILS TO CATCH FOR A SECOND OR TWO, AND WHEN IT CATCHES AT A HIGH RPM FOR BEING IN NEUTRAL SO LONG, IT CAUSES A SUDDEN JOLT BACKWARDS, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT LOWER SPEEDS (<20 MPH) THE GEARS GRIND WHEN SHIFTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ABOUT A YEAR AFTER BUYING THE CAR, WITHIN 20000 MILES. THE ISSUE HAS ONLY GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

'TAKE RECALL' THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE COOLANT LIGHT IS ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE CAR WILL RUN BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE

PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE WHATSOEVER. WHEN DRIVING, TAKING LEFT TURNS THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN, HAS TO BE HELD DOWN TO PREVENT IT. THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCHES ON THESE VEHICLES CAN PREVENT THE DOOR FROM PROPERLY CLOSING. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE DOOR OPENING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. MANY CUSTOMERS INDICATED THAT THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH AT ALL SO THEY DECIDED TO RESTRAIN THE DOOR BY OTHER MEANS (LOOPING THE SEATBELT THROUGH THE DOOR, OR USING ROPE OR TAPE) IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SOME CUSTOMERS ALSO REPORTED MULTIPLE DOOR LATCH FAILURES OCCURRING ON THE SAME VEHICLE ON DIFFERENT DOORS OCCURRING MONTHS APART. MY 2014 FORD FIESTA MANUFACTURED ON APRIL 2014 IS NOT COVERED BY RECALL 15S16, PARTS AND LABORED NOT GETTING COVERED BY FORD. SEEMS LIKE NOT ALL CARS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL NOTICE STATES SO.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. MY 3 YEAR OLD SITS ON THAT SIDE. GOD KNOWS WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED HAD WE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY

THE LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH BROKE WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THIS HAPPENED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AS WE WERE PREPARING TO LEAVE ON A TRIP. IF THIS LATCH HAD BROKEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THIS OR OTHER VEHICLES AND POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS OR BYSTANDERS. FORD RECALLED NEARLY 390,000 2012-2014 FIESTA, FOCUS AND LINCOLN MODELS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED AT THE PLANT IN MEXICO. APPARENTLY THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED MORE SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS EXEMPTED FROM THAT RECALL, BUT OBVIOUSLY HAS THE SAME DEFECT. I AM NOW FORCED TO PAY $300 TO REPAIR A VEHICLE WHICH FORD SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WAS DEFECTIVE. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT FORD'S EXPENSE, NOT THE CUSTOMER'S. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS 15F16 REGARDING THIS PROBLEM.

AFTER 45000 MILES THE CLUTCH PEDAL STARTED TO GET STUCK ON OCCASION. AT 47000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK ALL THE WAY DOWN IN TRAFFIC AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING FLUID. IT ENDED UP BEING THE SLAVE CYLINDER THAT NEEDED REPLACING. GIVEN THAT I DO NOT DRIVE A LOT THIS FAILED OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY WHILE MANY OTHER HAVE GOTTEN IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AS IT APPEARS TO FAIL ON 2014 MODELS BETWEEN 40000 AND 50000 MILES.

TAKATA RECAL 2014 FORD FIESTA SE EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING FUNNY WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AT LOWER RPMS YOU WILL HEAR SOMETHING LIKE BROKEN PARTS CLANKING AROUND IN THE TRANSMISSION I ASSUME. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IT DOES NOT KEEP A STEADY INCREASE OF SPEED WHEN YOU APPLY THE SAME PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL, IN FACT IT WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR AND REV TO A REALLY HI RPM .I WOULD UNDERSTAND THIS IF I WAS GIVING IT A LOT OF GAS BUT I AM NOT, AND AM FIRM ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND THIS PIECE OF JUNK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE CALLED A VEHICLE.

DOOR LATCH HAD FAILED AND WAS NOTICED AFTER GETTING OUT OF CAR THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT. WENT TO CLOSE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY IT BOUNCING BACK DUE TO THE LATCH BEING INOPERABLE.

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR UNLACHES WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION.

HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE RADIO UNIT, NOW ON MY 2ND UNIT. RADIO STARTS MAKING A POPPING, CRACKLING, THUMPING LOUD SOUND FROM THE SPEAKERS, UNTIL STOPS WORKING WITH NO SOUND. THEN THESE THUMPING SOUNDS ARE GENERATED EVEN WITH THE RADIO OFF (NOT PLAYING ANYTHING)! WHICH I PRESUME A SHORT OR WIRING ISSUE. I'M SHOCKED WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT FROM JUMPING/JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN IT HAPPENS. MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE TO FORD ABOUT FIESTAS AND FOCUS VEHICLES BUT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING, AND THE DEALER JUST WANTS TO CHARGE FOR LABOR JUST FOR INSPECTING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. THANKS

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING OR TURNING AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING KEEPS COMING UP ON THE DASHBOARD ALSO IT HAS MADE THE ENGINE INDICATOR STAY ON. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND ON IT SEEMS IT HAS NO ISSUES THEN WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT OF PARK IT STARTS STALLING IMMEDIATELY.

CAR HAS BEEN JUMPING SINCE I GOT IT IN 2016, THE PLACE I GOT IT FROM SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK OIL WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND 15V005000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,101.

MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY CUT POWER TO THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DOWN MY STRAIGHT STREET. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. IT REFUSED TO START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO JUMP IT WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES AND CABLES. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A FAILED FUEL PUMP.

TAKATA RECALL - MY FORD FIESTA THAT I BOUGHT IN OCTOBER OF 2017 ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY GOING OUT. WHEN I ACCELERATE TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY IT FEELS LIKE I'M NOT MOVING AND MY WHEEL WILL SOMETIMES JERK TO THE SIDE. MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO VIBRATES WHEN I'M IN PARK OR BRAKING. I CAN ALSO FEEL THE VIBRATION ON THE PEDAL. I TRY TO TAKE IT EASY ON THE GAS BUT THE TRANSMISSION STILL JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. I KNOW THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE RECALLED JULY OF 2017 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE "LATCH" THIS ALSO HAS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR SOME 2014 FORD FIESTA'S BUT THIS ONE IS NOT ON THE LIST. WAS STATIONARY BUT ONCE THE DOOR WAS OPEN COULD NOT BE CLOSED DUE TO THE DOOR LATCH NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL FOR THIS VIN

WHILE DRIVING REAR DRIVER'S DOOR OPENED AND WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. HAD TO TIE DOOR DOWN WITH TAPE TO KEEP IT CLOSED. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER IN CASA GRANDE, ARIZONA AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT PART OF RECALL. COULD NOT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED.

WHILE SITTING IDLE AND DRIVING THE THROTTLE IS GETTING STUCK OPEN, THIS BEING AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE IS MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING EVERY OTHER DAY. I SHUT IT DOWN AND START IT BACK UP AND IT GOES AWAY THEN COMES BACK WITHIN 5 MINS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BEAU TOWSEND FORD (1020 W. NATIONAL RD, VANDALIA, OH) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AND WAS REPAIRED IN 2017. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR WOULD MAKE A CRACKALING SOUND THROUGH THE SPEAKERS FOR MONTHS STARTING IN MARCH OF 2018 AND ON JULY 5, 2018 THE RADIO , & BLUE TOOTH OPTIONS HAVE NOW CEASED TO WORK

OPEN RECALL FOR FUEL SYSTEM FOR THIS YEARS CAR TO THOSE MADE UP TO JUNE 2014. MY CAR SHOULD FALL UNDER THIS AS IT WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS AND THEREFORE REGISTRATION DUE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH STALLS OUT EVERY TIME I FILL UP FOR GAS. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUSPENSION NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE. EVEN MY MECHANIC IS COMPLETELY BAFFLED WHY A NEWER CAR WOULD HAVE SO MANY SAFETY ISSUES.

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH EVERY OWNER OF FIESTAS THAT I KNOW. I'M IN A COMMUNITY OF FIESTA OWNERS AND NEARLY EVERY ONE OF THEM HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE COMPUTER STEREO IN THE CENTER CONSOLE STOPS WORKING MID DRIVE. DISTRACTS DRIVER FROM THE ROAD.

CAR STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AND NOW FUEL PUMP SEIZED.

MY CAR STALLS RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITH GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I AM LEAVING THE GAS STATION, ONCE WHEN I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND MANY TIMES WHEN I AM PULLING INTO TRAFFIC TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT (ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP). MY OWN MECHANIC TESTED THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS MY PURGE VALVE WHICH I LEARNED WAS RECALLED FOR SOME FIESTAS BUT MY FIESTA VIN IS NOT INCLUDED DESPITE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A FORD DEALER AND HE SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAID FOR A REPAIR.

CAR CURRENTLY HAS 90K MI AND THE CLUTCH IS BAD $1700 FOR DEALER TO REPLACE. FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 150K MI ON TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MODULE AT NO COST AND THEN THE MODULE STARTING LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND AS A RESULT THERE WAS A ROARING NOISE FROM ONE OF THE BEARINGS WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THE WORN CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS IS A KNOW ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSS ACCELERATION AND IT JERKS WHEN TAKING OFF AND LOSS OF POWER AND THE AC DOESN'T BLOW OUT COLD AIR. STAY AWAY FROM FORD

I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD, APPROACHING A 4WAY INTERSECTION; THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED. THE SCREEN STATED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. MY CAR RESTARTED AND THE SCREEN CLEARED. I PROCEEDED ON AND WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS THE SCREEN REPEATED THE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE. I THEN TURNED AROUND TO RETURN TO MY HOME AS THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY. BUT IT WAS SUNDAY. MONDAY I AGAIN CALLED AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD EXTENDED COVERAGE ON THE TRANSMISSION, TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD REPEATED WORK ON THIS VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2015. I HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED FOR THESE REPAIRS, BUT THE INCONVENIENCE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAD SLID THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

CAR OVERHEATED, BLEW HOSE, AND CRACKED CYLINDER WITH NEW FAN AND FLUID. CAR DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AND WILL SPEED FORWARD.

AFTER HAVING A FLAT TIRE, I FIND THAT THE INCLUDED LUG WRENCH WILL NOT FIT THE LUG NUTS. AFTER A GOOD SAMARITAN STOPPED TO HELP ME, AND HAD A 4 WAY WRENCH, WE FOUND THAT THE LUGS WOULD JUST SPIN. THEY WOULD NOT LOOSEN OR TIGHTEN. AFTER 3 HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND 3 PHONE CALLS TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, HE TOLD US THE LUGS HAD AN OUTER LAYER THAT WOULD SWELL OVER TIME CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WE HAD TO PUT A SOCKET ON THE LUG NUT AND BEAT THE SOCKET ON, TO SQUEEZE DOWN THE OUTER LAYER ONTO THE ACTUAL LUG. IF NOT FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S KINDNESS, I WOULD'VE BEEN STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK, FOR A SIMPLE NAIL IN MY TIRE. LUG WRENCHES AND SPARE TIRES HAVE NO PURPOSE WHEN YOU CANNOT GET THE LUGS OFF. AFTER HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND RESEARCHING IT, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALMOST ALL FORD MODEL VEHICLES, AND SO FAR, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX IT. THIS IS A MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HAZARD THAT CAN EASILY BE FIXED BY SOLID LUG NUTS INSTEAD OF THE JUNK THAT IS STILL BEING USED BY FORD. NOW I HAVE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES TO REPLACE LUGS, BECAUSE OF A BAD DESIGN.

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH FUEL, CAR TRIES TO STALL AND DROP RPM'S WHILE IDLING. CAR STALLED TWICE WHILE ROLLING TO A RED LIGHT AFTER FILLING UP. PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING. RPM WHILE IDLING IS HIGHLY UNPREDICTABLE AFTER FILLING UP.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I OPENED MY DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR TO LET MY YOUNG SISTER INTO THE BACK SEAT AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND LOCK INTO PLACE. THERE WAS NO VISUAL ISSUES WITH THE DOOR, BUT FROM THIS POINT ON I WAS UNABLE TO SECURELY CLOSE MY DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DOOR LATCH SAFETY ISSUES, WHICH HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN OTHER FORD MODEL CARS. *DT *TP

FORD IS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE THE PARTS TO COVER THIS RECALL, BUT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AND HARD TO GET, AND THE DEALERS DO NOT RECEIVE ADEQUATE PARTS TO DO THE JOB, NOR ARE THEY GETTING THE PROPER INSTRUCTIONS OR TRAINING TO DO THE JOB. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR 25 DAYS, ON A JOB THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE 5 HOURS, AND THERE IS NO WORD ON WHEN OR IF IT WILL EVER BE COMPLETED.

INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT FAILURE AT 42,000 MILES. UPPER JOINT HAS FAILED.THIS COMPRISES STEERING GREATLY. NEW PART ORDERED REPLACING MYSELF AS THIS IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

FORD COMPANY KNOWINGLY PUT FAULTY A TRANSMISSION IN THEIR VEHICLES. TO REMEDY THE SITUATION THEY THEN GAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WHEN TAKE YOUR CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THINGS THAT PART OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS VERY MISLEADING TO CONSUMERS AND A HAZARD FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN SAFETY ON THE ROAD. THE GEARS SHIFT WHILE IN MOTION, WHICH HAS ALMOST SEVERAL TIMES CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES TO HIT ME. WHEN AT A STOP PULLING OFF IT WILL BARELY ACCELERATE OR GIVE A JERKING ACCELERATION, WHICH IS AWFUL WHEN PEDESTRIANS ARE NEAR. ALL OF WHICH HAPPENS SPORADICALLY ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN CITY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM 2 YEARS AND THUS FAR I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIP AND NONE ARE WILLING TO UPHOLD THE FORD WARRANTY AND/OR ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT FORD KNOWS IS A HAZARD. IN CLOSING, I RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT AN SETTLEMENT REGARDING THIS VEHICLE, I RECEIVED NOTHING AND I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE NO ONE WILL REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DROVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO MULLINAX FORD (LOCATED AT 1551 E SEMORAN BLVD, APOPKA, FL 32703, (888) 218-7505), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

TCM CIRCUIT FAILURE. FAULTY TRANSMISSION THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED ON THIS VEHICLE TWICE AND I AM STILL AS OF NOVEMBER 20, 2018 , HAVING DIFICULTY WITH THE SHIFT TRANSMISSION.

MILEAGE 48000 NOW ON 3RD RADIATOR COOLING FAN. FAN STOPS WITHOUT WARNING LEADING TO OVERHEATING AND LOSS OF AC. TRANSMISSION- CLUTCHES SLIPPING CAUSING ERRATIC ACCELERATION. UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS. 3RD SET OF CLUTCHES IN CAR NOW AND REVERSE IS BECOMING ERRATIC.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY DOOR FLEW OPEN. I'VE OWNED THE CAR 4 YEARS. I'VE HAD 2 TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES REPLACED, 2 SYNC SYSTEMS REPLACED, THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PARTS BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT INFO AT THE MOMENT. THERE HAVE BEEN 8-9 PARTS IN TOTAL. SOME OF THE RECALLS I HAVE RESEARCHED WERE BEFORE I WAS SOLD THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD IF I DIDN'T LIKE IT, DON'T BUY ANOTHER FORD. I JUST HAD THE LATEST TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND SYNC REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND ASKED ABOUT ANY CURRENT RECALLS AND WAS TOLD NONE AT THE MOMENT. I HAD MY WARNING LIGHT SENSOR CHECKED LAST MONTH BECAUSE IT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THEY RESET THE LIGHT. IT CAME BACK ON. STILL NOTHING FOUND. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM REPEATEDLY ONLY TO RECEIVE NO HELP. THESE CARS SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN SOLD LIKE THIS MUCH LESS ALLOWED TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, SHE STRUCK A VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT AND HER GRANDDAUGHTER SUSTAINED SEAT BELT CONTUSIONS AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE TOW YARD AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER DUE TO BEING A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FOB FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE CONTACT CALLED FORD OF CLERMONT AT (352) 394-6161 (LOCATED AT 1101 EAST HIGHWAY 50, CLERMONT, FL 34711) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD OF CLERMONT ON THREE OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE KEY FOB REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS8682632-M9N1L6. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,858.

COOLING SYSTEM FAILS ON THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND OVER TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT DO NOT INDICATE / COME ON UNTIL THE ENGINE FAILS AND THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE TWO TIMES. EACH TIME THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF LOW COOLANT OR OVERHEATING CONDITION. MY CAR WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF WITHIN SECONDS LEAVING NO TIME TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH LITTLE TO NO BERM.

PASSENGER REAR DOOR STOPPED CLOSING., WHILE MOVING, CANNOT CLOSE BECAUSE LATCH WILL NOT ENGAGED, AND SECURE DOOR.

MY FUEL PUMP SEIZED UP ON BYPASS N STALLED OUT

LEFT REAR DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE AND LATCH RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON 9/21 - THANKFULLY WHILE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. CONTACTED SUNLAND FORD IN VICTORVILLE, CA AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PART THAT FAILED WAS UNDER RECALL. ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT AFTERNOON ONLY TO FIND THAT THE RECALL PERIOD ENDED 60 DAYS BEFORE OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. WE BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE RELATED AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED AGAIN AS WE LEARNED IT HAD BEEN EXTENDED ONCE BEFORE.

MY CAR IS HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND JERKS AGGRESSIVELY. I THEN CHECKED THE FOR WEBSITE AND THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLL MODULE.I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT WORK ON THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MY CAR HAS A SALVAGED TITLE.

DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION;THE CAR HESITATES AND SPUTTERS WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, AS IF IT IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. LAST YEAR, I RECEIVED NOTICE OF LAWSUIT FILED IN CALIFORNIA AS TO THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD SETTLE WITH A DISPUTE RESOLUTION SPECIALIST WHICH DENIED ME THE REPURCHASE/REPLACEMENT BECAUSE I HAVE A 5 YEAR WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND CANNOT BE FIXED, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE WARRANTY IS 5 YEARS OR MORE. THE TRADE-IN VALUE OF THIS CAR IS SO LOW, I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I JUST WANT ALL TO KNOW THAT FORD DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SCREECHING AND GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKES AND CALIPERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,180. *TT CONSUMER STATED MECHANIC HAD REPLACED THE BRAKES BUT REPLACED AGAIN 6 MONTHS LATER. UPDATED 11/27/18*JB

DOOR/LATCHES: FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE/LATCH MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FORD HAD TWO RECALLS (2015 & 2017) ON THIS KNOWN PROBLEM (RECALL: 15S16), BUT THEY DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN AS PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH MY 2014 FORD FIESTA COULD STILL HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF LATCH. IF ALL 2014 FORD FIESTAS HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE PART, WHY WEREN'T ALL VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR LESS THAN 6-MONTHS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS, BUT 2014 FORD FIESTAS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT FORD MADE THE LATCH RECALL PART-SPECIFIC, AND IF THEY DID, THE LATCH I HAVE IS JUST AS DEFECTIVE AS THE PREVIOUS ONES. THE FORD RECALL DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO TELL ME IF MY CAR HAD THE DEFECTIVE PART, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT NHTSA REVIEWS ALL THEIR RECALLS AND THEY APPROVED THAT MY CAR DIDN'T NEED A RECALL ON THE DOOR LATCHES.*DT

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NOT WORKING RIGHT, OUR VEHICLE WONT SHIFT RIGHT, TRYING TO MERGER WITH TRAFIC CREATES DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE VEHICLE REFUSES TO SPEED UP. GETTING ON THE FREEWAY BUT UNABLE TO ACCELERATE CREATES HUGE TRAFFIC JAM, AND PEOPLE BEHIND YOU ARE GOING 60+ BUT YOUR CAR WONT GO PASS 30. PEOPLE WILL GET HURT IF FORD WONT FIX THIS ISSUE, NOW GOING TO DEALER THEY WANT $1800 TO TEMPORARY FIX THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE AFTER PART IS REPLACED IT LAST ABOUT A YEAR AND THEN GOES BACK AGAIN. DEALER ALSO REFUSES TO FIX VEHICLE IF IT HAS BRANDED TITLE, BUT HOW IN THE HELL BRANDED TITLE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH FAULTY MODULE THAT WAS NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY. THE DESIGNER OF THE MODULE SHOULD GO TO JAIL FOR ENDANGERING OUR LIFE'S. MAIN PROBLEM IS, WHEN VEHICLE IS A THE STOP, WHEN TRYING TO GO IT WOULD SHAKE AND STUTTER, BEFORE GOING. OR WHEN ENTERING FREEWAY, IF ACCELERATING CAR WILL STUTTER AND WILL NOT TRY TO INCREASE SPEED BUT ITS RPM'S WILL SKY ROCKET.

I GOT VEHICLE AT A WELL KNOWN CAR DEALERSHIP - USED. IT WAS GIVEN '120 POINT INSPECTION' SO THE CAR WAS IN 'GOOD TO GO' CONDITION. I WALKED OUT WITH LUCKILY SOME MAX PROTECTION INSURANCE FROM THEM, WHERE THEY WOULD COVER ANY NON- WARE & TEAR REPAIRS. GREAT DECISION AT FIRST, MAYBE NOT EVEN A YEAR IN AT ROUGHLY 80K MILES THE CAR AC DOES NOT GET COOL, WHEN AT A STOP OR SLOW SPEED THE CAR WOULD START TO OVERHEAT & IN STALL - THIS IS A MANUAL VEHICLE SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO DROP GEAR IN ORDER TO GAIN SPEED BACK AND COOL THE ENGINE. THE COOLING FAN WASN'T TURNING OVER ST ANY POINT, I REPLACED THE FUSE MAYBE 3-4 TIMES AND IT KEPT BLOWING OUT. FINALLY I TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECKED OUT, APPARENTLY THE FAN RELAY FUSE WAS BLOWN OUT CAUSING THE SMALLER FUSE TO BLOW, ALL THIS RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE AC COMPRESSOR HAVING TO BE REPLACED, 2,700 IN REPAIRS WITH A DEDUCTIBLE OF 200 BUCKS. CAN'T BEAT THAT RIGHT? WRONG, HERE I AM ROUGHLY 9-10 MONTHS LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUES HAPPENING AGAIN, CAR OVERHEATING WHEN THE AC IS ON, OR AT A HAULT WITH THE FAN NOT KICKING OVER. FORD: YOU ARE A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, YOU NEED TO MAKE A CAR / SYSTEM THAT CAN WITHTAND ARIZONA'S 110+ DEGREE WEATHER DURING THE SUMMER. THIS SEEMS TO CLEARLY BE A ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AS THIS ISN'T THE FIRST, SECOND OR EVEN THIRD ISSUE I'VE HAD WITH THE VEHICLE. INCLUDING MAKER RECALLS.

TAKATA RECALL THE "POWERTRAIN" TRANSMISSION FEELS REALLY SHAKY WHEN DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN IM ABOUT TO BRAKE YOU CAN HEAR SHAKY SOUNDS COMINF FROM THE CAR IT FEELS UNSAE SOMETHING HAS TO DONE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (COVERT FORD OF HUTTO, 1200 US-79, HUTTO, TX 78634), BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO MONITOR THE COOLANT LEVEL. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED "OVERHEATING". THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,500.

LOW COOLANT LEVEL CAME ON (WHERE DID IT GO?) FILLED UP COOLANT. STILL LOW. CAR WOULDN'T START. TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY SAID "FOUND #1 CYLINDER HAS NO COMPRESSION. REMOVED SPARK PLUGS, WET WITH COOLANT. BORE SCOPED CYLINDER, FOUND WET" THEY SAY I NEED NEW ENGINE (WITH A $4800 QUOTE). WHY DID COOLANT ALL OF THE SUDDEN LEAK INTO ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING? CAR WAS IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH AND REMAIN CLOSED WHEN PROMPTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DOWNTOWN FORD SALES (525 NORTH 16TH ST, SACRAMENTO, CA 95811, (916) 442-6931) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR INDEPENDENTLY OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (KISSLEBACK FORD, 1118 13TH ST, ST CLOUD, FL 34769), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V210000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. AAA LOADED THE VEHICLE TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT WORKING IT SHOWED A FAULT. NO FUEL WAS GETTING TO THE ENGINE, THE CAR WAS ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED. I TOLD THEM THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE WORKS FOR THIS PROBLEM, STILL NO HELP. NO INJURIES INVOLVED.

A HEATER VENT IS STUCK AND THE TIMING BELT IS SLIPPING OVER IT AS THE CAR STARTS UP. SOUNDS LIKE AN AUTOMATIC GUN GOING OFF. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND THE SUN COMES OUT. HAVE TRIED TURNING TO AC OFF AND THE FANS OFF NOTHING HELPS.

LATCH ON REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CATCH AND DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE AS A RESULT. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE DOOR. A FRIEND GOT OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND TRIED CLOSING THE DOOR. THE DOOR JUST SWUNG BACK OPEN.

TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SLIPPING AND VIBRATING WHILE DRIVING WAS REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY SINCE I WAS AT 36,000 MILES. A WEEK LATER THE FRONT AXLE FELL APART WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION DUE TO A FAULTY BOLT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING THE SUMMER IN HOUSTON MY A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED AND PRODUCED A DISTURBING ODOR WITHIN THE CAR. IT INHERENTLY HAS CAUSED DRIVING DURING THE SUMMER TO BECOME VERY TAXING DUE TO THE HEAT EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BECOME DIZZY DUE TO THE HEAT. A FEW DAYS LATER I HAD 2 BLEND MOTORS ALSO FAIL WITH THE A/C SYSTEM THAT NOW CAUSE INTERMITTENT AND LOUD CLICKING NOISES THAT CAN BE DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING.

THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN. A SMALL PLASTIC PART SNAPPED OFF AND NOW THE DOOR WON'T SHUT, OR IF IT DOES SHUT, POPS OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SOLVED WITH A RECALL, RECALL 15S16, COVERING CERTAIN 2014 FIESTAS. FORD SAYS MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, BUT IT HAS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED ON RECALLED VEHICLES. MY DOOR IS NOW PERMANENTLY TIED SHUT AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $550 TO REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STILL DEFECTIVE, AND WILL THE REST OF MY DOOR LATCHES ALSO BREAK NEEDING $550 EACH TO REPAIR?

RATTLE IN TRANSMISSION WHEN EXCELLERATING FROM 10-30 MILES AN HOUR. HAVE HAD IT IN SHOP AND THEY TELL ME ITS IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE CAR HAS A LOT OF PLASTIC PARTS THAT MAY CAUSE THE RATTLE, BUT NO FIX? THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF THIS WAS DANGEROUS OR NOT?? SOMETIMES IT IS VERY LOUD. CITY STREET DRIVING, SOME FREEWAY, AND TURNING. CK'D FOR RECALLS, FOUND NONE. THIS IS ON GOING, EVERYDAY.

MY VEHICLE IS A PART OF THE CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE POWER TRAIN. FORD WILL NOT PAY FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT GOING DOWN HIGHWAY

PURCHASED 2014 FORD FIESTA AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT NOISE AND HANDLING ISSUES WITH THE HANKOOK OPTIMO TIRES ON MY FIESTA - CAR HAS APPROX. 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR - AND DEFINITELY HAVING A DRIVE AND SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES

"TAKATA RECALL" I AM SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN I APPLY MY FOOT ON BRAKES THERE IS NO PRESSURE, BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND; AS IF I AM NOT GOING TO STOP. I HAVE TO PUMP OR PRESS HARD ON BRAKES. MY BRAKE LIGHT ON DASHBOARD NEVER CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. THIS JUST SUDDENLY HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO WORK (10/26/2017). I HAD BRAKES CHANGE ON 10/31/2017 AND STILL CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO BRAKE HARD, THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT, DRIVEWAY. EACH INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND NEED TO SLOW DOWN TO BRAKE FOR A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT SIGNAL.

THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING.THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE.. WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT. AND WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR.IT WASN'T CLOSING?? SO I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSE.WHILE TRYING TO GET BACK HOME.

1.0 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT WITHOUT WARNING AND CATOSTOPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WILL RESULT. THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE AND WARNING LIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ANY EARLY WARNING. THE ENGINE LOOSES POWER / FAILS AND ONLY THEN DO THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL AND THE CAR LOST POWER. I DOWNSHIFTED AND NOTED NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OUT OF NORMAL RANGES. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND LEFT ME SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED DID THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE LIGHT COME ON. THE GAUGES PROVIDED NO EARLY WARNING OF A COOLING ISSUE. THIS IS THE SECOND NEW ENGINE I HAD TO HAVE FORD INSTALL IN THIS CAR AND BOTH TIMES THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. COOLING ISSUE WITH NO WARNING PRIOR TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. BOTH INCIDENTS LEFT ME SIT IN THE ROAD WITH NO WAY TO PULL OVER. I HAD NO WARNING. THIS IS TO REPORT THE LATEST INCIDENT.

I BOUGHT THIS FORD FIESTA WITH THE 1.0L ECOBOOST NEW. ALL MAINTENANCE FOR THIS CAR IS UPTODATE NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE UNTIL OCT 10, 2017. I NOTICED THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS WELL BELOW THE MIN. LINE OF THE COOLANT RESERVOIR ALMOST BELOW THE TURBO COOLANT LINE IN THE TANK. I IMMEDIATELY FOUND SOME APPROVED COOLANT AND ADDED IT UNTIL THE MAX. LINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CAR DIDN'T OVERHEAT THE DAY BEFORE. I CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL 3 DAYS LATER AND FOUND THAT IT WAS HALFWAY BETWEEN THE TWO LINES ON THE TANK. I FILLED IT UP TO THE MAX. LINE. I CHECKED IT AGAIN ON SAT. MORNING OF OCT. 21ST. IT HAD DROPPED TO THE MIN. LINE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM. I CHECKED OVER THE HOSES AND LOOKED OVER THE ENGINE BLOCK, THE INTERCOOLER, AND WHAT I COULD OF THE RADIATOR, BUT I DIDN'T SEE SIGNS OF COOLANT LEAKING. IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS I PUT 3/4 OF A JUG OF COOLANT INTO MY CAR AND IT ONLY HAD ABOUT 36000 MILES ON IT. I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER ON SUN OCT. 22. AND THE TECHS DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND PRESSURE TEST ON MON. HE CALLED ME TO SAY THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TOLD HIM OF THE AMOUNT OF COOLANT SO HE THOUGHT TO RECHECK. THE DEALER DID A TOTAL OF 3 PRESSURE CHECKS ON THE CAR WITH NO LEAKS. I ASKED IF HE COULD CHECK THE EXHAUST FOR COOLANT OUT THE TAIL PIPE. HE SAID THAT IF IT WAS DOING THAT THE CAR WOULD BE RUNNING ROUGH BUT IT RAN FINE. I'M PICKING THE CAR BACK UP SINCE HE SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING MORE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, WHERE DID ALL THE COOLANT GO? IS MY CAR GOING TO OVERHEAT AND DO SOMETHING LIKE THE OTHER ECOBOOST ENGINE PROBLEMS, INCLUDING ENGINE FIRES?

AWHILE BACK MY CAR RAN HOT. I WENT TO THE STORE AND BOUGHT SOME COOLANT TO PUT IN IT AND IT WAS FINE. LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD MAYBE 3 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THAT MY CAR RAN HOT AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE A.C. RUNNING SO FROM THAT POINT ON I NEVER RAN THE AIR. SO APPROPRIATELY 3 WEEKS AGO MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WHEN HE GOT THE CAR VALET HAD THE AIR RUNNING AND FROM THAT DAY IT CONTINUED TO RUN HOT. I ALLOWED IT TO COOL, ADDED COOLANT AND IT DIDN'T HELP. MY CAR PROCEEDED NOT TO CRANK. I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT I HAD BLOWN A HEAD GASKET. FROM THERE I TOWED IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DID A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I'VE BLOWN AND HEAD GASKET AND THAT THE CYLINDER WALLS ARE DAMAGED AS WELL AND THEY RECOMMEND ME REPLACING THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST ROUGHLY $8000

CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE LIGHTS AND ALL WARNING BUZZERS STARTED TO FLASH THEN THE CAR LOCKED UP AND I WAS STUCK IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T GET OUT. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TO JIMMY STICK THE DOOR TO GET ME OUT, THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE TCM TRANSMISSION MODULE WAS AT FAULT, AND WAS REPLACED, THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE AFTER THIS REPAIR. FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS UNDER FULL FACTORY WARRANTY. THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE A SERIOUS ISSUE EXISTS. I KEEP BRINGING THE CAR TO DEALERSHIPS AND FORD WON'T AUTHORIZE NEEDED REPAIRS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIS LAST ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR BECAME AJAR WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SECURELY LOCK THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) OR 17V210000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHEN DRIVING, OR SOMETIME UPON STARTING THE CAR, THE CAR WILL UNLOCK ALL THE DOORS, SHOW A FAULT WITH TPMS SYSTEM, WILL NOT SHOW THAT BLINKERS OR HAZARD LIGHTS ARE WORKING, INFORMATION SCREEN LOCATED ABOVE RADIO MAY OR MAY NOT GO BLANK, WILL NOT INDICATE WHETHER HIGH BEAMS ARE ON OR NOT, WILL NOT INDICATE WHETHER YOU HAVE A DOOR OPEN OR NOT. HITTING TOP OF DASH WILL MAKE EVERYTHING GO BACK TO NORMAL MOST TIMES. THEN THE PROCESS REPEATS AND KEEPS GOING. DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE IN MOTION FOR THIS TO OCCUR.

REAR DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING. FAULTY DOOR LATCH. MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THE 500,000 RECALLED BUT IT STILL FAILED. I HAD TO PAY DEALER OUT OF POCKET TO FIX. KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING KNOWN TO FAIL IN A VEHICLE KNOWN TO HAVE THE ISSUE. COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS IF PET OR CARGO WERE IN BACK.

FRONTAL ACCIDENT AND STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED WHILE THE LEG AIRBAG DID DEPLOY .DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET AND A WORKTRUCK ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED.CAR WAS TOTALED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY

TAKATA RECALL I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY DOOR LATCHES. WHILE I HAD MY VEHICLE IN MOTION, A NOTIFICATION CAME UP THAT MY DOOR SUDDENLY OPEN. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT AND ATTEMPT TO CLOSE MY REAR DOOR, UNFORTUNATELY, IT WOULD NOT STAY SHUT FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH IT OPENED. I WAS WAS NOT INJURED BUT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I AM SINGLE AND DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN THEREFORE HARDLY ANYONE IS IN THE BACKSEAT OF MY VEHICLE.

FORD NEVER CONTACTED US ABOUT THE DOOR LATCH RECALL. EVEN AFTER GOING FOR SERVICE. THE RECALL WAS NEVER MENTIONED

THE CAR SHUTTERS IN BETWEEN GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING. IT HAS BEEN "FIXED" BY THE RECALL 4 TIMES BUT CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FORD SAYS I TEACH MY CAR BAD HABITS BY SLOWLY ACCELERATING. HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO DRIVE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC? I'M WORRIED I'M GOING TO HIT SOMEONE. THEY REFUSE TO WRITE ME A SLIP FOR GETTING MY TCM UPDATED. I ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE ONLY DOCUMENTATION THEY GIVE ME.

PURCHASED A USED 2014 FORD FIESTA, AFTER A MONTH OF PURCHASE, I BEGAN TO HAVE MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND EVEN STOPPED WHILE DRIVING.

FORD FIESTA'S FROM 2014 THROUGH 2017 ARE EXPERIENCING A WIDE RANGE OF FAILURES FROM THE FAULTY HVAC BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR FROM FORD. PLEASE LOOK HERE FOR FURTHER DETAILS HTTP://WWW.FIESTASTFORUM.COM/FORUM/THREADS/4424-BLEND-DOOR-ACTUATOR-ISSUE-THREAD

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND THE LIGHTS ON MY CAR STARTED FLICKERING AND THEN THE HILL START ASSIST CAME ON. MY CAR WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND STATES TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. THE TCM WAS INSTALLED LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO ON A RECALL NOTICE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. WHAT'S THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART?

I HAD BOTH RECALLS REGARDING THE COMPUTER MODULE REPROGRAMMING PERFORMED (#14M02 AND #15B22) BUT MY CAR STILL EXPERIENCES SPUTTERING BETWEEN GEARS. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER RECALL REGARDING THE DOOR LATCHES ON 7/10/17 AND DURING THE TRANSMISSION CHECK, MY FORD SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT I HAD A FAULTY DUAL CLUTCH FAILED AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST OF REPLACEMENT IS OVER $2000 AT ALL AMERICAN FORD IN HACKENSACK SO DUE TO THE EXPENSIVE FINANCIAL BURDEN, I UNFORTUNATELY DECLINED TO HAVE THE SERVICE PERFORMED TO REPLACE THE DUAL CLUTCH SHUDDER. ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE FROM A LOCAL NEWS STATION IN NORTH CAROLINA (HTTP://WLOS.COM/NEWS/NEWS-13-INVESTIGATES/FORD-SUED-OVER-FAULTY-TRANSMISSIONS-IN-SOME-FOCUS-FIESTAS) "IN 2014, FORD EXTENDED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLES FROM 5 YEARS AND 60,000 MILES TO 7 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES TO COVER THE CLUTCH SHUDDER BUT ONLY ON CARS BUILT BEFORE JUNE OF 2013." UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR WAS ASSEMBLED AFTER THAT TIME. I MENTIONED THIS TO MY FORD SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE UPON PICKUP OF MY VEHICLE AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED AND ADMITTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IN FIESTAS IN 2014 ARE THE SAME AND THAT FORD PROBABLY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL VEHICLES MADE AFTER JUNE OF 2013. FORD SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND EXTEND THE WARRANTIES TO ALL 2014 FORD FIESTAS JUST AS THEY DID FOR FIESTAS AND FOCUSES MADE BEFORE JUNE 2013.

THE CAR SHUTTERS WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS AND IT SOMETIMES ACTS AS IF IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY POWER. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY KEEP RESET THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE BUT THEN IT GOES RIGHT BACK TO SHUTTERING AND NOT PICKING UP SPEED AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING, SPEAKERS START TO CRACKLE LOUDLY. ITS ACTUALLY STARTLING. THEN THE RADIO DOESN'T WORK UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE MEINEKE CAR CENTER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,912.

MY 2014 FORD FIESTA, WHICH I BOUGHT USED, WAS STATIONARY, I OPENED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY DUE TO THE LATCH. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN A PLACE THEY CLAIM WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE PROBLEM THEY WERE RECALLING OTHER CARS FOR.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT AND LATCH PROPERLY AFTER BEING OPENED. I HAD TO DRIVE SEVEN MILES WITH THE DOOR JERRY RIGGED SHUT WITH ROPE. THE DOOR WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT FAILED TO LATCH CLOSED. *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH WAS BROKEN. THE DOOR WOULD NOT REMAIN SHUT AND LOCKED. *JS *JS

MY 2014 FORD FIESTA SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING ON THE INTERSTATE 4 DURING RUSH HOUR (APPROXIMATELY 5PM ON MAY 12 2017). THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IT STALLED RANDOMLY. I RESTARTED AND IT WOULD NOT RUN. AFTER TOWING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DETERMINED IT WAS DUE TO A FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION. IT WAS MENTIONED HOW UNUSUAL IT IS FOR THIS TO OCCUR ON A CAR WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE. THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE THE CAR BROKE DOWN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. NO STRANGE NOISES. IT JUST STOPPED. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AFTER BEING INFORMED WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FORD FIESTAS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 30 2014 TO MAY 21 2014 (RECALL # 14S30) FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE: FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT IF THE FUEL PUMP FAILS, THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. WHEN CONTACTING FORD REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON 5/24/2017, WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE SINCE OUR CAR WAS MANUFACTURED JUST PRIOR TO THE RECALL DATE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS IN THE RECALL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHERS, NOT DISMISSED. AGAIN, THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS MY CAR WAS RUNNING AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOW. I ALSO BELIEVE I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR MY REPAIR THAT WAS DONE AT THE AUTONATION FORD IN SANFORD, FL AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE KEPT UP ALL MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR AND THE FUEL PUMP FAILED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SHUDDERED DURING GEAR CHANGES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE SECOND TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AGAIN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE MY CAR SHUDDERS. WHEN I GO FROM THE BRAKES AND TRY THE GAS PEDAL MY CAR JERKS AND HAS ISSUES ACCELERATING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM ALL THEY DO IS REPROGRAM. IT IS GOOD FOR 2-3 DAYS THEN GOES BACK TO JERKING AND SHUDDERING. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR MOST WHEN I'M PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAYS AND PARTYING LOTS FROM A STOPPED POSITION TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED. I HAVE HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE MY CAR HAS PROBLEMS SPEEDING UP WHEN I'M ON THE EXPRESSWAY TOO. I GOT THE CAR USED AT 20000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER 2016 TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THE CONTACT'S LEFT MIDDLE FINGER CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A DEEP LACERATION. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED AND THE CONTACT WENT TO HIS DOCTOR.

INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON IN DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND WHILE IT IS STOPPED, ALL IN CITY TRAFFIC. THIS WILL OFTEN LEAD TO A WARNING SAYING "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" AND, OCCASIONALLY, THE POWER STEERING WILL STOP WORKING. ON THE THREE OCCASIONS THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING IN THE PAST 5 WEEKS, ONCE WAS WHILE MOVING STRAIGHT AND TWICE WERE WHILE TURNING, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ISSUE 4 TIMES NOW. THE FIRST 2 TRIPS, THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE LAST 2 HAVE BEEN AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE FIRST 2 TRIPS WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE RECREATED AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE FIXED. ON THE THIRD TRIP THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO SEE THE LIGHT AND PULL A CODE. THEY REPLACED THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE AND REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ABRUPTLY FAILED TO LATCH AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING IT. THE LATCH WAS EXAMINED AND EXTERNALLY APPEARS THE SAME AS ON THE OTHER DOORS. MANUALLY MOVING THE LATCHING MECHANISM SHOWS IT FAILS TO LATCH EVEN UPON LOCKING THE CAR DOORS.

WENT TO STOP HIT THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN, I PUMPED THE BRAKES THEN HIT THEM AGAIN STILL THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN, I IMPACTED THE REAR OF A TRUCK, A FIRE STARTED UNDER HOOD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AT THE WINDSHIELD AREA, THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY NOR DID THE SEAT BELT LOCK, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST. CAR WAS TRAVELING APROX. 35 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE AND LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF LOT IN 2014, I HAD MINOR ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. NOW MY WARRANTY IS LONG EXPIRED AND THE ISSUES ARE WORSE. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO GARAGES MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MOST SAYING IT'S NORMAL, THE CAR HAS TO GET USED TO YOUR DRIVING, AND ALSO SOME SAYING THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. IT ACTS UP EVERYONE IT'S DRIVEN NOW EVEN AFTER ONE OF THE SERVICE BULLITENS FOR THE TCM. CONSTANTLY SHUTTERS JERKS GRINDS AND BUMPS HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING GOING UP HILLS AND FROM A STOP IT'S WORSE IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC

THE CONDITION THE CAR PRESENTS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THEY SEVERELY AFFECT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR'S SPEED, ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. I WAS ALSO NOT INFORMED OR NOTIFIED OF THIS DEFECT ON THE CAR.

2014 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DOOR LATCH MALFUNCTION AND VEHICLE VIN NOT LISTED ON FAULTY DOOR LATCH ISSUE RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IN JULY 2015, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LATCH ON HIS DAUGHTERS VEHICLE OPENED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT LATCH. THE CONSUMER LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER REPAIRED UNDER WHAT THE CONSUMER BELIEVED WAS THE RECALL. IN JULY 2016, THE LEFT REAR DOOR OPENED AND WOULD NOT LATCH. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMERS DAUGHTER IT AS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS AN OPEN FOR THE PROBLEM. ONE MONTH LATER, SHE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DOOR LATCH PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. ONCE AGAIN, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, IT WAS NOT COVERED. *JB

YESTERDAY THE DOOR LATCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED, RESULTING IN THE DOOR BEING UNABLE TO REMAIN CLOSED. THANKFULLY THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS IS A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM ON FORD FIESTAS, BUT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL, AND AS SUCH I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. MY FEAR IS THAT GIVEN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD FIESTAS, THE DOOR LATCH ON MY OTHER DOORS WILL FAIL, AND NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE, AND THERE IS THE SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

MY WIFE AND I WERE ON RT3 TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50MPH WHEN WE WERE HIT ON THE LEFT SIDE WHICH PUSHED US ACROSS THE HIGHWAY INTO A STONE WALL THE CAR WAS DAMAGED ON THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE AND FRONT AND RIGHT SIDE AND FRONT THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED WAS AT THE KNEE THERE WERE NO OTHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WE WERE BOTH INJURED WE HAVE THE POLICE REPORT AND PICTURES.

BOUGHT FROM CAR MAX 2015, 2016 FEBRUARY EXTREME SHUDDERING FROM TRANSMISSION FORD FIXED FOR FREE NEW CLUTCH PLATE. 2017 FEBRUARY WOULD NOT START,CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON DRIVER, TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION -- FIX NOW. THAT'S WHAT IT SAID ON THE WARNING LIGHTS PLUS THE WRENCH. DEALER TOWED CAR. TECHNICIAN STATED WHILE DRIVING IT DIED TWICE JERKED VIOLENTLY UPON ACCELERATION FROM STOP.NORTH CENTRAL FORD DALLAS TEXAS WHEN WE CALLED THEM INITIALLY WAS TOLD THIS MODEL IT WOULD KEEP HAPPENING BECAUSE TRANSMISSION DESIGN WAS FAULTY. THEY SAID COULD NOT COMPLETE TEST DRIVE BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON FUEL,? THEY TOP OFF CARS ALL OF THE TIME AND DID NOT COMPLETE TEST DRIVE.?

THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO OWN AND DRIVE. THE TCM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE .IS ALWAYS FAILING. IT HAS WENT OUT MANY TIME AND I HAVE ALMOST DIED SEVERAL TIMES OVER.IT HAS DESTROYED THE CLUTCHES MANY TIMES AS WELL. WENT TO CROSS A ROAD GET HALF WAY THROUGH AND LOSS POWER AND NOT GO ANY WHERE ,STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC AND NO STARTS NEED TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY IT WILL LET GO AS YOU MERGE THEN YOU GET RAN OVER AGAIN THIS CAR HAS NEARLY KILLED US MANY TIMES OVER.IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED MANY TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON .THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES INTOWN TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SETTING STILL .I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT WAS ONLY FIVE MONTHS INTO OWNING IT IT WENT TO HELL

TRANSMISSION STALLS AND JUMPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE.

DANGEROUS POTENTIALLY DEADLY TRANSMISSION...THE CAR SHUDDERS AND BUCKS AS WELL AS MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STANDING START; COMING TO A STOP; MAKING A TURN; MERGING INTO TRAFFIC...THIS HAPPENS ON TOWN STREETS, CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS...IT IS REALLY AWFUL...ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME BEFORE THE CAR DOESN'T MAKE IT AND SOMEONE PLOWS INTO US...I FEAR FOR MY LIFE WHENEVER I DRIVE ANYWHERE...THE CAR COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN TWO MONTHS OLD BEFORE THE PROBLEM REARED ITS UGLY HEAD...THE CAR WAS BOUGHT OCTOBER 31, 2013...

I PURCHASED A FORD FIESTA VEHICLE IN 2014.WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY STALLED AND SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY LIKE A KILL SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED OFF DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 1 YEAR FROM PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. THEN A SIMILAR SITUATION OCCURRED IN 2015. AND NOW AGAIN, IN 2017 THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP/SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY STALLS AND SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY LIKE A KILL SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. I AM TOTALLY DISSATISFIED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE DANGER MY LIFE WAS PUT IN WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS A VERY PRICEY INVESTMENT THAT I DID NOT EXPECT TO OR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING REGARDING SEVERAL LIFE THREATENING ISSUES AND DEFECTS WITH THE FORD FIESTA. ESPECIALLY IN SUCH SHORT PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NOT SOLD TO PEOPLE UNTIL THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED, AND THE CLUTCH LOST POWER. THE DEALER PROVIDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK AGAIN FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

FRONT PASS.DOOR LATCH THAT KEEPS DOOR CLOSED BROKE WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY.THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL EXCEPT MONTH MINE WAS BUILT.MINE WAS BUILT IN 6/2013 AND RECALL EFFECTS MODEL THRU 05/2013.MY CONCERN IS I'VE READ THESE DOORS CAN COME OPEN WHILE IN MOTION.I HAVE KIDS IN MY CAR ALL THE TIME

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A CITY STREET GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHEN ANOTHER CAR THAT I DID NOT SEE OR EXPECT RAN A RED LIGHT SLAMMING INTO REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OF MY CAR. THE DOOR HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF DAMAGE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AFTER SUCH A SEVERE IMPACT?

UPON PARKING THE VEHICLE AND OPENING THE DOOR USING THE OUTSIDE HANDLE, THE DOOR LATCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED. THE DOOR WOULD NO LONGER REMAIN CLOSED. I NEEDED TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE DRIVING TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, AS IT WANTED TO SWING OPEN (ESPECIALLY DURING LEFT TURNS).

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 2014 FORD FIESTA S HATCHBACK. THE VEHICLE HAS A 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND 33350 MILES +/- ON IT. I HAVE TWO ISSUES WITH THE CAR: 1) THE SECOND AND REVERSE GEARS (ONLY) HAVE "POPPED" OUT NUMEROUS TIMES UNDER TORQUE. THIS OCCURS ONLY WHEN DECELERATING, ACCELERATING, AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE REVERSING SLOWLY OUT OF THE GARAGE ETC. THE LATEST EVENT WAS DECEMBER 29, 2016 TRAVELLING DOWN A SHORT ROAD. THE SECOND GEAR POPPED OUT AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TOWARD THE EMBANKMENT. EACH EVENT SURPRISES AND FRIGHTENS ME UNTIL I REALIZE WHAT HAS OCCURRED AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. 2) THE SECOND ISSUE IS SOMETHING IS PRODUCING A CLUNKING IN THE LR PILLAR (BETWEEN THE LR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE HATCHBACK). OR SO I IMAGINE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A HATCH STRUT IS HANGING LOOSE FROM THE TOP CONNECTION AND SWINGING AROUND INSIDE THE HOLLOW OF THE PILLAR. HOWEVER, BOTH HATCH STRUTS ARE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR AND APPEAR TO BE ATTACHED AS DESIGNED. THE NOISE IS ONGOING AND COINCIDES WITH VEHICLE MOTION, ESPECIALLY ON CURVES AND ROUGH GROUND.

VEHICLE STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY. COMPLETELY DEAD, NO LIGHTS, POWER, NOTHING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. FIRST TIME HAD ONLY 1,364 MILES. DEALER HAS NO FIX. RECHARGES BATTERY AND RETURNS TO ME. CASE OPENED WITH FORD, THEY WILL NOT BUY BACK VEHICLE. RESOLUTION FROM FORD EACH TIME: BRING BACK TO DEALER EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS FOR BATTERY RECHARGE. TCM MODULE REPLACED. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM.

MOISTURE CAN ENTER THE HVAC SYSTEM AND FREEZE DURING COLD TEMP CAUSING THE BLOWER MOTOR TO FREEZE, LEAVING IT INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT ON A COLD NIGHT. WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFROST DURING COLD TEMPS RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR STARTED NOT ACCELERATING WHEN GAS WAS PUSHED, DELAYED THEN CAUGHT AND JERKED LIKE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD, ALSO THE GAS MILAGE GOT WORSE AFTER OWNING A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. ALMOST HIT BY SEMI-TRUCK GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE! IN TOWN, AT LIGHTS, WOULD JERK WHEN AT A STOP OR AT TAKE OFF, ALMOST CAUSING PEOPLE BEHIND OR FRONT OF ME TO HIT ME. TOOK IT TO ONE LOCAL DEALER, SAID THEY ADJUSTED THE (TCM) TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND IN ABOUT 1000 MILES IT WOULD BE CORRECTED AND WE SHOULD SEE BETTER GAS MILAGE AND NO JERKING OR ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION.. DIDN'T HAPPEN, TOOK TO A DIFFERENT FORD DEALER NEAR US, THEY SAID NO PARTS TO FIX IT. ONE MONTH LATER CALLED THEM BACK ABOUT PART, AND THEY SAID "NO KNOWN FIX FROM FORD AT THIS TIME". THEY SAID WE COULD JUST LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM IF WE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT, THEY WOULD ADD IT TO 3 OTHER ONES OUT BACK!!!. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL DEALER BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY OFFERED NO APOLOGY AND SAID WE COULD TRADE IT ON ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR CARS.. NO THANKS. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD... THOUGHT THEY WERE MUCH BETTER COMPANY. SAFETY APPARENTLY NOT AN ISSUE WITH THEM.. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER ON THE ISSUE, ONLY TO HAVE MY CASE CLOSED WITHIN ONE DAY BECAUSE THEY DEEMED THE CAR "WITHIN WORKING PARAMETERS" AFTER SAYING THEY DISCUSSED IT WITH THE DEALERS WE TOOK IT TO FOR REPAIR. WHEN I ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT, THEY SAID COULDN'T TELL ME BECAUSE IT WAS FORD CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION!. NOW NO ONE AT FORD CORP. WILL RETURN MY CALLS, OR THE DEALER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TOO. LOST ALL CONTACT WITH FORD AT THIS POINT. SEEKING A LAWYER TO SEE OPTIONS ON HOW TO SALVAGE SOME ISSUE THAT WILL HIT MY CREDIT RATING, SINCE I BASICALLY WON'T BE MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT ANYMORE AND GAVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. SHAME ON FORD!!!!!! SELLING CARS THEY KNOW HAVE AN ISSUE....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY VIBRATED AND FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILURE. WHEN CLOSING DOOR, DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP, THE ISSUE IS THE SAME FAILURE AS THE EXISTING SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER FORD VEHICLES.

PASSENGER DOOR CAME OPEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WILL NOT STAY CLOSED

MY CAR SURGES FORWARD ALMOST SQUEALING TIRES, IT MAKES NOISE IT CLUNKS OUT AT STOP FEELS LIKE MY TRANNY IS GOING TO DROP AND DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. TRANSMISSION IS OBVIOUSLY IN SAFE I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO HIT SOMEONE FROM BEHIND THE WAY IT SURGES AT TIMES IT ALSO SPUTTERS AND MOVES DOWN HILL WHEN STOPPED DRAGS WHEN DRIVING UP HILL. I HAD TO TAKE IT IN THEY REPLACED MODULAR AND TRANNY SEAL. BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. *TR

MY VEHICLE STARTS SHRUGGING & SHIVERING WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE SHIVER IS AT TIMES TOO HARD TO CONTROL AND CAN'T FOCUS ON DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN THE FOURTH TIME WITH THE SAME CLUTCH ISSUE AND THE DEALER SAYS I GOT TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY GET A NEW CLUTCH ORDERED WHICH IS 21 WEEKS FROM NOW. I HAVE A KID AT THE BACK SEAT AND NOT COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE DOOR STOPPED CLOSING. DOOR LATCH APPEARS TO HAVE BROKEN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILED AND CAR DOOR FLEW OPEN AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A STREET AND DOOR LATCH WOULD NO LONGER WORK.TOOK MY CAR TO FORD AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH OTHER 2013 AND 2014 FORD FIESTA'S HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.I SENT THE RECALL I FOUND AND A PICTURE OF THE NUMBERS ON THE DOOR LATCH THAT WAS REMOVED. I HAVE THE EMAIL FROM THE FORD SERVICE CENTER AND THE RECEIPT WHERE THEY CHARGED ME TO LOOK AT MY CAR.

SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT WORD DOCUMENT FOR FULL DETAILS. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR TWO YEARS NOW, I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2014. AT THE TIME I WAS COMMUTING 120 MILES DAILY TO SUPPORT A PROJECT. I WAS VERY EARLY ON THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND SHAKE. I RETUNED IT FIRST FOR A DEFECTIVE TIRE, DEFECTIVE BACKUP SENSOR AND UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. KINGS FORD (CINCINNATI OH) REPLACED THE TIRE (I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TIRE), REPLACED THE BACKUP SENSOR (WARRANTY) AND 'RESET/UPDATED' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE. AFTER THIS, I RETUNED THE VEHICLE MULTIPLY TIMES FOR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. AFTER ABOUT TWO MORE TIMES OF KINGS FORD 'RESETTING/UPDATING' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE CLUTCHES. THIS WAS AT 20,000 MILES. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO KINGS FORD TWO MORE TIMES FOR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. EACH TIME THEY 'RESET/UPDATED' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE. YESTERDAY, I CALLED FORD ROADSIDE TO PICKUP THE CAR AND RETURN IT TO KINGS FORD DUE TO UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. ALSO, I HAVE ANOTHER FAULTY TIRE AND THE AIR HANDING ACTUATORS IN THE DASH ARE MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLY NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE VEHICLES UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. THE VEHICLE HAS DISABLED ITSELF IN HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. I HAD NAVIGATE THE CAR FROM THE FAST LANE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY AVAILABLE POWER. I NARROWLY MISSED A SET OF LARGE COMMERCIAL TRUCKS! ONCE AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I HAD TO CYCLE THE IGNITION BEFORE THE CAR WOULD RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR INPUTS. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLY OTHER INSTANCES WHERE THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE CORRECTLY WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC'NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED, CERTAINLY LEADING TO A FEW ROAD RAGE INCIDENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V643000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES ). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 7-23-16 A MONTH LATER THE AIR BAG POPPED UP AFTER I GOT GAS AND ITS BEEN ON FOR ENTIRE TIME AND ITS STILL ON NOW .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN AND WHILE IN PARK, BOTH REAR DOORS FAILED TO LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,700.

ON 10/26/16, WE (4 OF US) FINISHED SHOPPING AND GOT BACK INTO MY PARKED CAR MY DAUGHTER EXCLAIMED THAT THE REAR DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT WOULD NOT CLOSE. WE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO SHUT IT, EVEN PEERED INTO THE LATCH AREA, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THE OTHER DOORS. IT WAS AROUND 5:30 P.M. WE HAD NOTHING TO SECURE THE DOOR, SO WE MOVED MY GRANDSON'S CAR SEAT TO THE MIDDLE AND I SAT IN THE BACK SEAT AND HELD THE DOOR WHILE MY DAUGHTER DROVE US HOME SLOWLY. THE NEXT MORNING I USED A ROPE TO HOLD THE DOOR WHILE I DROVE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE LATCH FOR $344.40. I USED MY CAR PAYMENT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST. IF THIS HAPPENS TO ALL MY OTHER DOORS, IT WILL ADD UP 1377.76. I HAVE A COPY OF THE REPAIR RECEIPT. I CAN SCAN FOR YOU IF NEEDED.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SLIPS GEAR AS YOU ACCELERATE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR FROM A STOP, BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. DEALER STATES THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 32,212 MILES.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN REAR DOOR SWUNG OPEN. REAR DOOR IS FAILING TO CLOSE PROPERLY AS THE DOOR LATCH WON'T HINGE.

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

I BOUGHT MY 2014 FORD FIESTA IN DECEMBER 2013 AND SHORTLY AFTER THIS THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS BOUGHT FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS RESOLVED FOR SOME TIME, BUT THE ISSUE IS NOW RESURFACING. THE FIESTA TENDS TO SHUDDER AND HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND HAS MADE IT DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS OR WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP TO ENTER A HIGHWAY.

THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE CAR TO REV UP WHILE DRIVING OR TO JERK AS IF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO STALL. *TR

VEHICLE HAS 4 DOORS. I WAS PARKED AT MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL IN THE CITY STREET. ITS THE RIGHT BACK DOOR, MY DAUGHTER OPENED IT, WHEN SHE TRIED TO CLOSE IT IT WOULDN'T CLOSE, SO I TRIED TO CLOSE IT BUT IT WOULDN'T, SO I CHECKED THE MECHANISM ON THE DOOR AND IT WAS LOOSE. I HAD TO TIE THE DOOR TO THE SEAT. NO MATTER WHAT I DID I COULDENT CLOSE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BECAME AJAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SECURELY CLOSE THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR. ALL DOORS WERE LOCKED AT THE TIME. THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER CLOSE PROPERLY. THE INCIDENT NEARLY LED TO AN ACCIDENT AND DRIVER HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TRY AND CLOSE THE DOOR. APPARENTLY THE CURRENT RECALL DOESN'T COVER OUR SPECIFIC 2014 FORD FIESTA EVEN THOUGH MANY 2014 FIESTAS ARE COVERED BY THE RECALL.

TRANSMISSION MODULE FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME. LURCHES, ENGINE REVS, NO POWER, FAILS TO GO. FORD PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FOR 30 DAYS OR MORE.

I HAVE A ACCIDENT ON 9/2/2016 AND THE CAR AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK AT ALL.. I WAS DOING 45 MILES IN THE 45 MILE ZONE ON A CURVE A DRUNK DRIVER HIT ME ON MY DRIVER SIDE. I WAS INJURY AFTER THAT WITH RIBS FRACTURE, AND OTHER.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY CAR SINCE 3 MONTHS AFTER MY PURCHASE. EVERYTIME I TAKE THE CAR IN TO BE SERVICED THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING "NOTHING IS WRONG" BUT I HAVE MY CARS VEHICLE HEALTH REPORTS THE PAST YEARS AND THEY ALL SAY THE RECALL IS AN ERROR MY CAR HAS LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD HAVING TO BE TOWED, ALSO HAD THEM SUGGEST BUYING A NEW BATTERY AFTER A YEAR IS RIDICULOUS, ALSO THE FAN MOTOR ON THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE STILL OVERHEATS TODAY AS WE SPEAK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN A AWFUL WORRY EVERYDAY DRIVING WILL IT OVERHEAT OR IS THE TRANSMISSION GOING TO GO TODAY? I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. FORD HAS ALSO ACCEPTED THEIR PART IN THE TRANSMISSION BY OFFERING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FROM 36000 TO 150000. THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM. FORD IS HAVING ME TAKE MY CAR TO DEALERS ALL OVER TRYING TO GET THEM TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION ALL OF THE DEALERS SAY THE SAME THING NOTHING IS WRONG. I WOULD LIKE THE PEACE OF MIND I DESERVE FROM MY NEW CAR PURCHASE I PAY MY PAYMENT EVERY MONTH WHY CANT I HAVE THAT PEACE OF MIND? I HAVE TO LEAVE WORK EVERYTIME THEY WANT ME TO TAKE THE CAR ELSEWHERE AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR PEACE OF MIND. WHY IS IT NO ONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. A LEMON IS A LEMON AND ANOTHER VEHICLE SHOULD BE OFFERED OR SOMETHING THIS IS NOT RIGHT. 2 YEARS OF THIS CONSTANT BATTLE OVER WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, WHY HAVE THE VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT OPTION IF YOU WANT ME TO IGNORE WHAT IT IS TELLING ME> I DON'T GET IT.

THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAS BEEN RES CONFIGURED ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE TIMES. CAR VIBRATES AND HAS ISSUES WITH ACCELARATION. DEALERS WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT WARRANTIES KEEP GETTING EXTENDED BY FORD. I STARTED HAVING THE ISSUE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

WHEN I ACCELERATE ON TAKE OFF MY CAR SHUTTERS BAD AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO

2014 FORD FIESTA 1.6L WITH " POWER SHIFT " DUAL CLUTCH 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2016, USED WITH 36,675 MILES FORD FACTORY CERTIFIED ( CP0 ), WITHIN 1200 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AND SHUDDER UP HILLS, DEALER PREFORMED AN ADAPTIVE RELEARN ON THE TCM, CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SHUDDER AND GRINDING NOISE IN REVERSE, THEN AS WELL AS IN FORWARD GEARS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AND 10,00 MILES AFTER PURCHASE OF THE CAR. TOOK CAR BACK INTO DEALER AND DEALER STATED THE CLUTCHES FAILED THE REQUIRED TEST TO DETERMINE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCHES AGAIN. ( CLUTCHES WERE REPLACED AT 28K MILES WITH PREVIOUS OWNER). DEALER STATED THEY WOULD ORDER THE CLUTCHES AND NOTIFY WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS AUGUST 11TH 2016 THE CAR HAD 47,268 MILES AT TIME OF SERVICE. THE DEALER NEVER ISSUED A RENTAL CAR EVEN WITH A PROBLEM AFFECTING THE TRANSMISSION WAS DETERMINED. THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPEN TODAY AUGUST 21ST 2016 THAT WARRANTED THIS COMPLAINT IS AS FOLLOWS. WHILE STOPED AT A STOP SIGN ON A RESIDENTIAL ROADWAY SHORTLY AFTER STARTING CAR, MY CAR FAILED TO SAY STOPED AND LUNGED INTO THE ROADWAY AND BROADSIDED A CAR AND THEN EVEN WITH THE BRAKES FULLY DECOMPRESSED THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AGAIN STRIKING THE CAR AGAIN AFTER TRYING TO TURN AWAY FROM THE CAR TO PREVENT THE IMPACT. IMPACT WAS MINOR AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSING THE MOVEMENT AND MY BRAKES WERE FULLY DECOMPRESSED. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ADDRESSED THE INVOLUNTARY ENGAGEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE ISSUES OF LURCHING FORWARD WITHOUT USER INPUT. THERE IS NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. TO DATE NOTHING THAT FORD HAS DONE HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY AND THIS HAS CAUSED AN EXCESSIVE DEPRECIATION OF VALUE IN THIS VEHICLE. I PERSONALLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE OPERATING THIS CAR.

THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, KEEP COMING OPEN. BIG SAFETY VIOLATION. OTHER 2014 FORDS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS ONE SHOULD BE INCLUDED. SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE. ONLY HAVE HAD VEHICLE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. HAVE HAD OTHER MODEL CARS FOR 10 YEARS OR MORE. NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS WITH THEM. WILL NOT LOCK WHEN STATIONARY AND DOORS OPEN WHEN TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES, LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE TCM. HAD THE CLUTCH MODULE REPLACED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. STILL SHUTTERS WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. ALMOST COSTED ME AN ACCIDENT WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT DIDNT WANT TO ENGAGE. AFTER THIS CAR IS PAID OFF... I WILL NEVER BUY AN AMERICAN CAR AGAIN. BTW. FORD TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL THE TCM FAILS COMPLETELY.

FRONT & REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NO LONGER LATCH. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR. I AM SURE THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCKS WILL FAIL SOON. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW 7/29/2016 ---. CAMELBACK FORD IN PHOENIX ARIZONA. LUCKILY I NOTICED IT WHEN I GOT BACK FROM THE SUPERMARKET TODAY. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED IN MY YARD. I WILL GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. MY SON TIED THE DOORS CLOSED. I DO NOT HAVE TO GO ON THE FREEWAY TO GET TO CAMELBACK FORD.

PURCHASED CAR IN JUNE 2014 AND IN SEPTEMBER 2014 I BEGAN SEEING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE RECALL EVERY TIME I DID A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT TOOK IT IN EVERY TIME THE REPORT CAME BACK, EVERY TIME THE FORD PLACE I BOUGHT IT SAID THEY COULD DO NONTHING TO HELP IN EARLY MARCH THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY QUIT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED ONLY TO HAVE THE FORD PLACE TELL ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE CAR WAS BARELY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND SO I DID AND THEY SAID THAT I COULD KEEP BRINGING THE CAR BACK BUT FORD WOULD NOT LET THE FIX THE MODULE DUE TO WHATEVER. THEY DID EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 36K TO 60 K WHICH LEADS ME TO THIS POINT I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 MORE TIMES EACH TIME I HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR AND IT NEVER GETS FIXED THE MILAGE IS AT 59 K NOW AND I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER IN ANOTHER TOWN TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND I CAME BACK TO WORK AND DID ANOTHER VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT AND IT IS STILL SHOWING AS A FACTORY RECALL I WILL UPLOAD THE REPORT TO YOU. ALSO SO THE CAR HAS HAD TO HAVE A NEW FAN PUT ON IT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR OVERHEATING I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THIS WORK DONE THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME MORE PAIN THAN I CAN DEAL WITH. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE THE CAR AND AM UPSIDE DOWN I HAVE ONLY THIS VEHICLE AND MUST WORK AND HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH HORRIBLE LUCK WITH A NEW CAR THIS CAR IS THE MOST I HAVE EVER SPENT ALMOST $17000. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING. WHEN THE CAR BROKE DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DO NOTHING I WAS STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY, I HAVE COMPLAIN WITH FORD AND THE DEALER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND NOTHING EVER GETS DONE.

THE REAR PASSANGER DOOR FLUNG OPEN WHILE WE WERE GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY. THIS IS USUALLY WHERE MY SON SITS BUT HR HAPPENED TO SIT ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT DAY. MY WIFE HELD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE WE GOT IT HOME. IT WAS THE WEEKEND SO WE WRAPPED THE SEAT BELT AROUND THE HANDLE AND LATCHED (BUCKLED) IT TO GET IT TO THE DEALER MONDAY MORNING. IT WAS TERRIFYING. TURNS OUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 2 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE END OF THE RECALL DATES BUT IS CLEARLY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED FORD AND THEY STATED TO CONTACT YOU, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY GAVE #CAS-10138364 AS A CASE NUMBER AND #15S16 AS A RECALL NUMBER TO GIVE TO YOU.

DOOR LATCHES FOR PASSENGER FRONT, AND BOTH BACK DOORS HAVE FAILED. THEY HAVE CAME OPEN WHILE DRIVING, I HAD TO TIE THE BACK PASSENGER AND FRONT PASSENGER TOGETHER WITH THE SEAT BELT. THE LATCHES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN. I HAD YOUNG CHILDREN RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I TOOK TO FORD ON 7/22/2016, AND THEY WANTED 800+ TO FIX THE LATCHES EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THEM. THEY ALSO LET ME DRIVE MY VEHICLE AWAY IN THIS CONDITION, KNOWING IT IS UNSAFE. I ONLY HAVE 38,264 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE.

SHUDDERING UPON TURNING RIGHT, LEFT, TAKE OFF DURING ACCELRATION. IT WAS IN MOTION, CHARLESTON SC. WAS AFRAID TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC

LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE DRIVING. WILL NOT LATCH SECURELY.

PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CAME OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND WON'T LATCH

REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHEN I WAS MID-LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE DOOR. LATCH DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING, DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE/STAY CLOSED. DOOR HAD TO BE TIED AND BUNGEE-CORDED SHUT INSIDE THE CAR (THROUGH BACKSEAT). WARNING ALERT CONTINUES GOING OFF, LETTING ME KNOW REAR DOOR IS STILL OPEN.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A RESIDENTIAL STREET. SMALL BOX, ABOUT 3-5 POUNDS, IN BACK SEAT BUMPED DOOR WHILE TURNING, CAUSING IT TO SWING OPEN. PULLED OVER TO CLOSE DOOR, EXCEPT LATCH WOULD NOT "HOOK" DOOR WOULD NOT STAY SHUT. I HAD TO SECURE DOOR INSIDE CAR, THROUGH BACKSEAT, TO TIED DOOR TO KEEP SHUT.

LEFT BLINKER STOPPED WORKING, OUTSIDE SIGNAL WILL NOT LIGHT UP AND INSIDE BLINKING ARROW BLINKING VERY FAST AND LOUD. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BLINK WORKS AGAIN, WILL SWITCH FROM WORKING TO NOT. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T "REPLICATE" ISSUE, SO NOTHING WAS FIXED.

LEFT BLINKER STOPPED WORKING, OUTSIDE SIGNAL WOULD NOT LIGHT UP AND INTERIOR ARROW BLINKING FAST AND LOUD. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BLINKER WOULD WORK. BLINKER WOULD ALTERNATE BETWEEN WORKING AND NOT; DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FIX ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND SIGNAL WORKED AGAIN.

TRACTION CONTROL RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF. DEALERSHIP "UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM" TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT

SPEAKERS IN FRONT REPLACED 5 MONTHS AGO. GETTING LOUD POPPING AND RADIO GOES SILENT. IN ORDER TO RESTART HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. TODAY AFTER TURNING OFF TOOK 3 STARTS TO RESTART CAR ITSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND JERKED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED BACKWARDS AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE GEAR FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON AN ON-RAMP (GRADUAL RIGHT HAND TURN @ APPROX. 45 MPH) THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH FAILED AND THE DOOR OPENED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. FORD DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE OVER $600.00 TO REPAIR. THEY "SECURED FUNDS" FROM SOME FORD SAFETY PROGRAM AND WE WERE ONLY CHARGED $50. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAS DONE THE SAME THING AND I'M BEING TOLD IT STILL ISN'T A RECALL ITEM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO SWITCH GEARS AND SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TAKATA RECALL, I PURCHASE THIS CAR JUNE 3, 2016 AND I NOTICE THAT THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM EITHER THE FRONT OR THE BACK WHEEL THERE IS A ROARING SOUND WHEN THE WHEELS IS TURNING. I LOOKED AT THE CAR FAX AND IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CAR LOT AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO TAKE OFF THERE IS A ROARING SOUND AND IT HESITATE OR SOMETIMES IT WON'T I'M AFRAID THAT THIS CAR WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING.

HI, RECENTLY I BOUGHT A 14 FORD FIESTA AND AT FIRST I LOVED IT. BUT NOW IM ALWAYS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. IT HAS 40,000 MILES AND THE TRAMISSION IS MESSING UP. IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE SOMTIMES. SOMTIMES IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHICH IS TERRIYING. WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR JERKS AND STUDDERS ITS EMBARASSING AND ALSO SCARY. IVE SIGNED MULTIPLE PETITIONS ON THE SUBJECT AND IM READY FOR THE RECALL. PLEASEEEEEEEEE HELP US FORD FIESTA/FOCUS OWNERS! THIS IS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FORD DOESNT SEEM TO THINK SO. CAR ALSO DOESNT START PROPERLY ACCELERATING TILL 30+ MPH. MAKE FORD RECALL ALL FORD FIESTA/FOCUS CARS FROM 2011 TO PRESENT! YOU WILL SAVE LIVES.

BACK PASSANGER DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. CALLED FORD AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MATTER WITH MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED AND THEY WANT OVER 500.00 TO FIX. ON TOP OF THIS MY CAR TRIES TO STALL EVERYTIME I GO TO EXCELERATE FROM A STOP AND ALSO WHEN IT GOES FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEARS. I WAS TOLD WHEN PURCHASED THAT IT WAS ME NOT HITTING THE GAS HARD ENOUGH, HOWEVER I DO NOT FIND THIS IS THE CASE

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS IS A FAIRLY REGULAR PROBLEM THAT CAN INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF AN ACCIDENT...I HAVE HAD TWO VERY CLOSE CALLS DUE TO MY INABILITY TO ACCELERATE THROUGH A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A "COMMON" ISSUE WITH THIS 6 SPEED, DUAL CLUTCH, AUTO TRANNY. UNACCEPTABLE.

MY MOTHER IN LAW AND I BOTH OWN A FORD FIESTA AND A FORD FOCUS.. MINE BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND HERS USED BUT GENTLY USED AND WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THEM. WE HAVE BOTH TRIED BRINGING THEM INTO FORD MANY TIMES TO GET FIXED AND THEY BOTH TELL US IT'S THE COMPUTERS.. THAT THEY NEED TO BE RESET. EVERY TIME THEY RESET THE COMPUTERS AND WE CONTINUALLY HAVE TO TAKE THEM BACK IN.. EVEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT LIGHTS UP, ALL THEY DO IS RESET THE COMPUTERS. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY FIESTA IN, IT WAS STILL SHAKING WHEN I DROVE IT TO CHECK ON IT. THE MAN AT FORD TOLD ME THAT THEY ALL DO THAT AND IT'S NORMAL. A FEW DAYS LATER, I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK IN BECAUSE IT STALLED. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED, WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, IT REVERSED AND WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD. WE TOOK IT TO FORD, THEY RESET IT AND BLAMED IT ON THE COMPUTERS. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT LIGHTED UP AND IT STALLED ON MY HUSBAND. I NEED A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY KEEP SENDING US HOME WITHOUT FIXING IT. WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD WHILE DECELERATING AND ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE REGAINED SPEED VERY SLOWLY AND THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH LOCATED FAILURE CODES AT THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND THE GEAR CLUTCH. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE GEAR CLUTCH WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

MY CAR ONLY HAS 21,000+ MILES ON IT. MY TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS, HIGH PITCH SEQUEL, SURGING, HESITATING, NOT SHIFTING (UP OR DOWN), BUCKING, WOULD NOT START. THESE ACTIONS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS (LOW, MEDIUM AND FREEWAY), AT FULL STOPS, GOING UPHILL/DOWNHILL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED. WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE MADE LOUD NOISES, SHOOK VIOLENTLY, JUMPED, AND LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY 2014, SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER, SHAKE AND JERK WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR SIMPLY SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE COMPUTER "LEARNING HOW I DRIVE". I GAVE IT SOME TIME AND EVEN TRAVELED CROSS COUNTRY FROM AZ TO NC AND HAD PROBLEMS THE WHOLE WAY. IN 2015, I FINALLY HAD IT WITH HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS BECOMING TO DRIVE AND TOOK IT IN TO COMPLAIN AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO A LEAKING CLUTCH WHICH THEY REPLACED IN A FEW DAYS. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO OCCUR AGAIN AND I TOOK IT IN TO FORD FOR TESTING AGAIN. THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CLUTCH AND IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE MONTHS TO GET THE NEW CLUTCH IN. IT IS NOW MARCH 2016 AND TODAY, AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVE WITH VEHICLES ALL AROUND, THE DASHBOARD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A NOTIFICATION THAT SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE SERVICED NOW. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE NEAREST FORD WITH HAZARDS LIGHTS ON AS THE VEHICLE COULD NOT MAINTAIN ITS SPEED. I AM TIRED OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFT BEGAN TO SHIFT WITHOUT WARNING INTO VARIOUS GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000. UPDATED 05/04/16*LJ *TR

CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD EXACTLY, TRANSMISSION NO LONGER WORKING, ONLY 20,000 MILES ON CAR. WILL ACCELERATE ON OWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, WILL GRIND, CRANK AND CRUNCH WHEN SHIFTING GEARS ALL THE WHILE JOLTING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. HAVE BEEN JOLTED INTO A CROSSWALK WHEN PRESSING ON THE BREAKS DUE TO THE CAR DOWNSHIFTING. IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION.

I PURCHASED A 2014 FIESTA WITH 17K MILES IN JANUARY 2016. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP LONGER THAN I HAVE OWNED IT. 2 WEEKS FOR THEM TO REPROGRAM THE TCM, REPLACE A FAULTY SEATBELT, AND REPLACE BLOWN SPEAKERS. NO LOANER. NOW THE CLUTCHES HAVE FAILED. THEY PUT ME IN A LOANER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND NOW WANT ME TO RETURN THE LOANER AND DRIVE MY CAR WITH NO CLUTCH WHILE THEY WAIT FOR PARTS. I HAVE REFUSED TO RETURN THE LOANER UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED. I'VE ESCALTED IT ALL THE WAY UP TO CORPORATE AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME OR GET BACK TO ME. EVERY CAR PAYMENT I HAVE MADE HAS BEEN WHEN I DO NOT HAVE THE CAR TO DRIVE. I'M GETTING REALLY FRUSTRATED. 20 DAYS IN SERVICE NOW. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A BROKEN CLUTCH. IT ACCELERATES ERRATICALLY AND WILL NOT GO UPHILL WITHOUT SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS BUT FORD IS TOO CHEAP TO PAY FOR A LOANER AND MY SAFETY IS OF NO CONCERN TO THEM.

THE CAR IS HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUE. YOU NEED TO PRESS HEAVY ON THE GAS FOR IT TO MOVE FROM STOP POSITION OR ON A SLIGHT SLOPE. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT TIMES WILL JERK WHEN YOU TRY TO SPEED UP ON THE HIGHWAY TO MERGE LANES. THE RPM AT TIMES WILL JUMP. THE ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. TODAY THE CAR WOULD NOT GO UP A SLOPE. THE STARTED TO ROLL BACK. THIS IS A REAL ISSUE WHEN THERE IS SNOW. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEAL SHIP 2 TIMES NOW. LAST TIME I TOOK IT THEY NOTED THAT NO FAULT FOUND AT THIS TIME.. SO I GUESS NOTHING WAS FIXED. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR AND THE DEAL SHIP SAID THE NEEDS AT LEAST 20KM AND COMPUTER SYSTEM WILL KICK IN OR SOMETHING TO THAT FACT.

TRANSMISSIONS IS FAULTY. CAR SHAKES, SHUDDERS, AND HESITATES DURING SHIFT CHANGE AS WELL AS BRAKING. FORD IS AWARE OF NATIONWIDE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REPLACING PART WITH SAME FAULTY PART.

STEERING WHEEL BECAME STUCK WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING ALARM TURNED ON. THEN IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. I BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. PARTS OF THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WERE REPLACED. BUT MY LIFE WAS AT RISK WHILE DRIVING WITH A STUCK STEERING WHEEL.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2014 FORD FIESTA HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF. IT SOMETIMES GETS STUCK IN A HIGH OR LOW GEAR AND WON'T SHIFT. IT SOMETIMES WON'T ENGAGE AND WILL ROLL WHEN SITTING ON A GRADE. IT GRINDS AND MAKES RATTLING NOISES AT ALL SPEEDS, WORSE AT SHIFT POINTS. UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC WITH THE HESITATION. HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER VEHICLES WHEN IT DISENGAGES OR WON'T ENGAGE AS IT SHOULD. TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING ON A GRADE ON BUSY INTERSTATE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. ASTORG FORD IN PARKERSBURG WV,WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW , WORKED ON IT AND SAID THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY EXPENSES. NEVER GOT REIMBURSED. RECENTLY TOOK CAR BACK TO ASTORG FOR ONGOING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WAS TOLD BY JAMES SCIENCE, SERVICE MANAGER, THAT THEIR COMPUTER SHOWED IT TO BE IN SPECS AND THAT SOMEHOW THE WAY I WAS DRIVING WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS?? FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT HAS NO FIX FOR THIS FAULTY ,UNSAFE TRANSMISSION. FORD VEHICLES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE THE INEVITABLE INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING DESIGN.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN SEP 2015. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE CAR, I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD STALL/SHAKE/JOLT BETWEEN 20-30 MPH. IT GETS TO THE POINT WERE THE JUST DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE CONCER FOR SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE DRIVE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A LEMON THAT NOBODY WANTS, AND NOW IM STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CRAP CAR.

MY CAR HAS HAD A SHIMMY/SHAKING AT 20-30 MPH. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE COMPUTER NEEDING RESET NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR, MONTHS LATER, WENT IN FOR A NEW CLUTCH AND THEN IT STARTED TO CUT OUT AT 30 MPH AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. I WAS TOLD 3 DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MIGHT BE WRONG. THE CAR CUT OUT GOING UP STATE ST. IN TOWN GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. CARS BEEPING AND GOING AROUND ME. WAS SCAREY. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAS BEEN THERE SINCE NOVEMBER 27, 2015. I HAVE NO CAR AND NO OPTIONS SINCE CAR IS A YEAR OLD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 FORD FIESTA FEBRUARY 14TH, 2014. GREAT CAR, GREAT MPG, ECT... I STARTED HAVING A JERKING MOTION WHENEVER I ACCELERATED ABOUT 3 MONTHS INTO OWNING MY CAR. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO GET THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND CLUTCH FIXED 4 TIMES ALREADY AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. PENSKE FORD KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS "WITHIN FACTORY LIMITS" AND THE CLUTCH WAS BACKORDERED AND THAT I "DIDN'T NEED IT ANYMORE". I RETURN MY CAR TO SERVICE ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO BE TOLD THAT I REALLY NEED A CLUTCH AND HAVE FOR SOME TIME! AGAIN, CLUTCH IS BACKORDERED WITH NO ETA. MY CAR NOW IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL WHEN I AM MERGING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND IT IS NOW A SAFETY CONCERN. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING MONTHLY ON. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEY'VE LOST A CUSTOMER AND WILL BE CONFRONTED WITH MANY LAW SUITS ON THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT ANYONE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL FEEL THE SAME WAY. THANKS FOR CARING ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS SAFETY FORD...

TAKATA RECALL I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FIESTA AUTOMATIC AT A FORD DEALERSHIP IN ELIZABETHTON TN, THE SALESMAN TOOK ME FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 19,000 MILES ON IT WITH ONE OWNER.... BUT NOW I RELEASE WHY THE OWNER TRADED THE CAR IN, AFTER YOU DRIVE IT FOR A FEW HOURS THE TRANSMISSION REALLY ACTS UP.... I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM THE REAR TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING IT, CAUSE IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR THE CAR SHAKES LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS FALLING APART, AND WILL NOT TAKE OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DOING THAT. SO WITH THIS CAR YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS COMING FOR A LONG WAYS BEFORE YOU PULL OUT, CAUSE IF YOU THINK YOU CAN PULL OUT IN A HURRY FORGET IT CAUSE YOUR SHAKE ALL OVER IN THIS CAR, AND SHUDDER BEFORE IT ENGAGES TO TAKE OFF.... A VERY DANGEROUS CAR THAT SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN RELEASED BY FORD TO SALE TO THE PUBLIC.... THIS CAR AND ANY LIKE IT THAT FORD HAS PUT OUT TO SALE SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND MADE TO PUT A REAL TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, CAUSE NOW I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR CAUSE OF HOW IT ACTS UP..

ON 12/31/2015 WHILE TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE ON A BUSY CROWDED HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH, ALL OF A SUDDEN POOF THEY STOPPED WORKING. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (MIZZELL FORD-WAYNESBORO, GA) ON 1/04/2016 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ONE OF THE WIRES HAD COME LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED FROM THE HARNESS THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS. THEY REPAIRED THE WIRE AND RELOCATED THE HARNESS. MY CONCERN IS THIS BEING AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO REALIZE IMMEDIATELY WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WAS IN A SPOT WHERE I COULD ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER WINDOW WHILE BEING SOAKED TO PULL SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY. SOME OTHERS THAT THIS HAS OR WILL HAPPEN TO MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE RESULTING IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR REVIEWING MY CONCERNS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL : THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE MAKES MY CAR FEEL UNSAFE. AT RANDOM AND QUITE OFTEN WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WILL TREMBLE AND SHAKE WHICH DISABLES ME FROM DRIVING AT THE CORRECT SPEED. MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT SPEED UP CORRECTLY WITH THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS WITH TURNING, WITH OUT TURNING, WITH SPEEDING UP, FROM STOP GOING INTO MOTION, AND IT INCLUDES BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AND AM TAKING IT BACK AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW, AND FEELS LIKE IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE NOR CAN TOLERATE THESE ISSUES.

MY TRANSMISSION IS BAD. THE CLUTCH PART IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A LONG GAP TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANYBODY BECAUSE IT TAKES THAT LONG FOR ME TO ACCELERATE TO THE SPEED LIMIT. AS WELL, WHEN I DO PRESS DOWN TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL STALL AND I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION IS JERKY, HESITANT, DANGEROUSLY NOT RESPONDING IN TRAFFIC WHEN NEED TO ACCELERATE EXTISTS. INTO FORD SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIRS BUT SEEMS TO GET WORSE INSTEAD OF BETTER. TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS AT SHIFT POINTS, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, AND USUALLY ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP. SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO ACTUALLY SHIFT INTO A GEAR. USUALLY OCCURS AT 10-15 MPH, AND/OR 20 - 25 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS CHECKED; FIRST TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT ANYTHING WRONG. SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND RESET THE TCM; BUT IT ONLY GOT WORSE FROM THERE. LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID IT WAS WITHIN RANGE BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS SUFFICIENTLY WARMED UP FOR THEM TO HAVE PROPERLY TESTED IT. STILL SHIMMIES AND RUMBLES AT SHIFT POINTS ONCE IT'S WARMED. DATE OF MOST RECENT SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALER IS ENTERED BELOW.

I AM BUYING AND PAYING FOR AN UNSAFE AND WORTHLESS CAR. CAN YOU HELP? I AM 66 WITH LITTLE INCOME. THIS CAR SHUDDERS AND HESITATES OFTEN. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER IN HUTTO, TX, THAT I HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT SHUDDERS AND THEY WILL CHECK IT AND ORDERS PARTS THAT WILL TAKE 2 MONTHS. THE "SHUDDER" HAPPENS ON AND OFF, SO CHANCES OF THIS HAPPENING WHEN I TAKE IT TO DEALER ARE PER CHANCE. THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MANY PEOPLE ARE JUST LEAVING THESE FIESTAS. I CANNOT DO THAT. I BOUGHT IT USED FROM ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL. THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY EMAILS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE. I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL GO FORWARD WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS OR NOT. PLEASE HELP ME. WHAT CAN I DO? I WAS SOLD A HORRIBLE CAR. *JS

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 I WAS SITTING IN MY FORD FIESTA (18K) ENGINE RUNNING AND IN PARK AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START THE CAR BY PUSHING THE PUSH TO START AND THE FIRST TIME IT DID NOT WORK BUT THE SECOND TIME THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ON MY WAY. IN OCTOBER 2015 I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM A JOB INTERVIEW AND DOING 40 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD. I WAS GOING TO MAKE A SWEEPING RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK. I LOST CONTROL AS I COULD NOT TURN THE CAR WENT ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC AND HIT A CURB AT ABOUT 30 MPH. MAJOR FRONT RIGHT DAMAGE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ABOUT 5 MILES TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY INTERVIEWED ME TWICE ON WHAT HAPPENED (STATING THAT THEY BELIEVED MY ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED) AND GAVE ME A CAR TO DRIVE WHILE FORD CORP. WAS INVESTIGATING. FORD CAME BACK AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT THERE WERE NO CODES BUT THE TRANSMISSION CODE(A KNOWN PROBLEM) I STATED THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY CODES IF THE IGNITION SHUT OFF BUT MY COMPLAINTS FELL ON DEATH EARS AS THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE FORD CORP MADE THEIR DECISION. I STATED THAT I DID NOT WANT THE CAR BACK (IT WAS A LEASE) THAT I WOULD NOT DRIVE A CAR THAT FORD COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. FORD KNOWS THEY HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE FIESTA THAT IS WHY THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU EXTRA INCENTIVE $$ TO LEASE SOMETHING ELSE. IN THE END I HAD TO PAY 4K FOR THE REPAIR AND I WAS 5K UPSIDE DOWN ON THE TRADE (WHICH I APPLIED TO THE NEW LEASE). FORD CORP DID NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT NOR DID THEY OFFER TO HELP IN ANYWAY. I DID LEASE A FORD FOCUS BECAUSE I HAD TO HAVE A CAR AND DID NOT HAVE 9K TO WALK AWAY FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY.THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DO NOT BUY A FORD FIESTA. *JS

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF UP HILL HOLDING FUNCTION AND ROLLS BACK INTO OTHER CARS. THIS HAS OCCURED ON MY CAR AFTER THE RECENT FORD FIX TO THEIR TRANSMISSION DESIGN THAT FIXED THE ROUGH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ON THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. THE SEQUENCE IS: COME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT ON A HILL, CAR HOLDS THE NORMAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FUNCTION OF HOLDING THE CAR'S POSITION, BUT WITHIN 30 SECONDS THE TRANSMISSION ASSUMES A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FUNCTION AND BEGANS TO ROLL BACKWARDS INTO THE CAR BEHIND YOU. TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD GARAGE (GILLIS AUTO CENTER, SHELTON, WA 98584) WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A FORD DESIGN (DEFICIENCY) AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO FIX IT. THERE IS NO SAFETY NOTICE PUT OUT BY FORD ON THE PROBLEM.

ALLOW ME TO BE #100 FOR COMPLAINTS ON THE 2014 FORD FIESTA!! MAYBE AFTER 100 COMPLAINTS FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL DO SOMETHING TO HELP US ALL !! PURCHASED THE NEW 2014 FORD FIESTA IN AUGUST 2014. BY THE TIME I WENT IN FOR MY FIRST OIL CHANGE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHAKING, JERKING, SLIPPING, SHUDDERING UPON LIGHT ACCELERATION ON GAS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THEN THE CAR IS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. I'VE EXPRESSED MY COMPLAINT/PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HE SAID IT'S NORMAL, PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ALL THE TIME AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. AS OF TODAY'S DATE THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST, I'VE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN RESOLVED. AND I CAN TELL IT'S GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION.

THIS 2014 FORD FIESTA VEHICLE HAS SOME MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES: SLIPPING, CLUNKING, CHUGGING, JERKING, SHUTTERING, AND RATTLING WHEN DOING SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE WHEN A TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS WHEN I BEGIN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AND THE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THAT TIME PERIOD. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO A FORD REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC COMPLETED A REPROGRAMMING OF SOME TYPE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE REPROGRAMMING TYPICALLY RESOLVES THE ISSUES THAT THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING; BUT THE ISSUES STILL REMAIN, IN FACT, IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. THE HESITATION OF THIS VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE LEAVES ME FEELING UNSAFE. MOTORISTS IN PASSING VEHICLES ARE ZOOMING BY ME AS I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS CAR TO GO. IN ADDITION, WHEN I FIRMLY PRESS THE GAS PETAL, THE CAR HESITATES THEN BEGINS TO ACCELERATE AT A RAPID SPEED. THESE ISSUES OCCUR WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATES, HIGHWAYS, STREETS, DIRT ROADS, ETC. IT ALSO DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM MAKING A TURN, SHIFTING IN DRIVE OR IN REVERSE...THE ISSUES REMAIN THE SAME. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE ISSUES. IT IS TERRIBLE THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CONSUMERS. THESE SAFETY ISSUES WERE NOT MENTIONED ON THE CARFAX REPORT. IF THEY HAD BEEN THEN I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.

HAVE HAD MY CAR REPAIRED 5 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION (CLUTCH) ISSUES. INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LUNGING INTO INTERSECTIONS WHEN TRANSMISSION ENGAGES, NOT RESPONSIVE AT TAKE OFF. CHUGGING AT TAKE OFF, MISSED SHIFTS. CAR HAS LESS THAN 31,000 MILES

CAR SHAKES AND SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY WHILE ACCELERATING. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS. HAS DONE THIS ON THE STREET WHEN LEAVING A STOP SIGN, WHEN ACCELERATING/TURNING INTO A BUSY STREET FROM A PARKING LOT, AND ALSO WHILE GOING ABOUT 15MPH (SLOWED DOWN FOR CAR AHEAD OF ME TO TURN, THEN AS I ACCELERATED I GOT THE SHUDDERING FEELING).

EVERY TIME I TRY TO GIVE MY CAR GAS, IT DOESN;'T MOVE RIGHT AWAY AND STARTS TO SPUTTER BEFORE IT WILL GO ANYWHERE. SAME GOES FOR SLOWING DOWN AND PRESSING THE GAS AGAIN. IVE GOTTEN THIS "FIXED" THREE TIMES AND IT IS NOT SAFE ESPEICALLY WITH A SEVEN MONTH RIDING ALONG WITH ME. IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE, PULLING OUT AFTER PARKING, AT A STOP LIGHT, AND A STOP SIGN, ANYWHERE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT STARTED IT, IT STARTED TO HAPPEN A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW. ITS TECHNICALLY NOT RECALLED YET BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN MOST FIESTAS.

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WILL SHAKE AS IT GOES INTO FIRST GEAR. AS THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL SHAKE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN LAUNCH FORWARD IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DELAY CAUSES ME TO GET HIT, OR THE LAUNCHING FORWARD CAUSES ME TO HIT SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE THAT STARTED HAPPENING IN MY CAR ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, AND HAS GOTTEN CONTINUOUSLY WORSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER AN EXTENDED MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY WHERE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED.

THE CAR SHUTTERS AND LOSES POWER WHEN ACCELERATING AT TAKE OFF OR LOW SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED, BUT DETAILS FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 10/21/16*LJ *THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,600.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS ON ACCELL, ITS JERS AND SLIPS WHEN GOING UP HILLS AND WHEN GOING INTO PARK, IT BUCKS WHEN DRIVING AND RECENTLY STARTED SWEARING OUT OF OF CONTROL.... MOST BUCKING AND SHUTTERS WHEN ACELLING OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC...IT BUCKS MOST WHEN STOP AND THEN MAKING A TURN

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON SPAN LEADING TO THE GW BRIDGE-MESSAGE STATED TRANSMISSION HOT, TURN OFF VEHICLE FOR 6 MINUTES. SECOND MESSAGE WAS "STOP OR SPEED-UP" I HAD TO NAVIGATE THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER IN RUSH HOUR AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER SINCE IT HAD BEEN SERVICED A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO. THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO ADDRESS THE RECALL ITEMS AND REPORTED TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OF EXCESSIVE VIBRATION OF THE TRANSMISSION. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR WHEN A PERSON MADE AN ILLEGAL U TURN IN FRONT OF ME. THE IMPACT WAS IN THE DEAD CENTER OF MY CAR. THE AIR BAG AT MY FEET DEPLOYED BUT THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT. I HAD SEVERE BRUISING FROM THE IMPACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE SEAT BELT. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE IMPACT AND THE LOWER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG.

THE CAR HAS 17250 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SHUDDERING, SHAKING, JERKING, JOLTING, SUDDEN OR DELAYED ACCELERATION HAVE ALL BEEN PROBLEMS. LOW SPEEDS SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE WITH IT. IT SEEMS TO SHUDDER IN BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. I ALSO HAVE HAD IT STALL WHILE IN REVERSE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, HAVE HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS, AND SAID THEY WOULD REPROGRAM THE SOFTWARE TO MAKE THE SHIFT CHANGES MORE SMOOTH. IT IS STILL EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUES. HARSH SHUDDERING, GEARS SLIPPING, CLICKING AND NOISES. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS VEHICLE KILLS SOMEONE. I WASN'T TOLD THAT THIS CAR WOULD OPERATE ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN ANY OTHER CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE 'NORMAL' FOR THE KIND OF TRANSMISSION THAT THEY SOLD ME AND THAT IT'S STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. EVEN WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO GET REPROGRAMMED FOR THE SHUDDERING, THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT "IT'S STILL GOING TO DO IT." WHAT?! IT WASN'T DOING IT BEFORE AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO DEAL WITH A SHUDDERING VEHICLE? AND YOU SAY YOU STILL CAN'T FIX IT? THAT'S TERRIBLE. I'VE OWNED FORD'S ALL MY LIFE AND THIS IS MY FIRST NEW CAR AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE MADE A TERRIBLE DECISION AND IT'S BARELY GOT 20,000 MILES ON IT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE SAFETY. I'VE HAD MORE THAN ONE CLOSE CALL WITH TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRANSMISSION NOT RESPONDING IN ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. OPERATES UNLIKE ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND HESITATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, FUEL ASSEMBLY, PLATE CYLINDER, CYLINDER ASSEMBLY, AND TRANSMISSION FLUID 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 7,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN DID NOT SOUND. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNLESS THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE WAY BACK HOME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,270.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 12/2014. WHEN PURCHASING, IT WAS REPRESENTED AS HAVING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE WINDOW STICKER ALSO IDENTIFIES AS AN AUTOMATIC TRANS. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP POSITON. SHIFTING IS IRREGULAR AND THE ENGINE RACES BETWEEN VARIOUS SHIFTS, I.E. OFTEN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND SHIFT. DURING THIS PERIOD, I LOOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING A HIGHER SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MILES/HOUR, WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, IT WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT FOR MORE POWER ACCELERATION. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THERE IS LIKE A GRINDING NOISE. I HAVE TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO WHICH THEY TESTED THE COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION AND DISMISS MY COMPLAINT. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES SAY THAT THIS IS NOT AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BUT INSTEAD A MANUAL SHIFT TRANS. AND THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT PREDICABLE AND I FIND MYSELF ON GUARD HAVING TO CONSTANTLY BE CAUTIOUS OF UNEXPECTED PERFORMANCE SUCH AS HESITATION AND DELAYED RESPONSES.

VEHICLE HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, IT CONTINUES TO HAVE ERRATICALLY ISSUES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS OR WHEN GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF CAUSING TO HAVE DIFFICULT DRIVING AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS FAST ENOUGH WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER AND SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN MADE OR MODULE INTERFACE HAS BEEN UPDATED. WE HAVE RECORDS ON MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THIS CAR. WE BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP.
