2014 FORD FIESTA Electrical System Problems

The vehicle has experienced ongoing failures with the DPS6 PowerShift transmission system. Symptoms included slipping between gears, failure to engage 6th gear, jerky shifting, and bucking during acceleration. A transmission warning light appeared multiple times. These issues occurred daily and worsened over time. Eventually, the vehicle became unsafe to drive—it would over-rev, buck violently, and lose power during traffic conditions. A retired Ford Senior Master Technician confirmed the issue is consistent with a faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM), which is covered under Ford’s Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) 14M02. Despite this, the dealership refused to replace the TCM. Instead, they replaced a speed sensor and returned it to me. The vehicle broke down again within minutes and had to be returned. The dealership has now suggested dropping the transmission for further inspection at a cost of $2,500, rather than honoring CSP 14M02. They also encouraged me to trade in the vehicle instead of repairing it. The TCM failure has not been resolved, and the vehicle remains unsafe to drive.

2014 Ford Fiesta manual sedan exhibiting recurring, dangerous hood latch malfunction (recently noticed) where hood unlatches while driving/parked & experiencing sudden power loss when AC is used (fuse removed to prevent this dangerous condition). Potential safety hazards: obstructed vision, hood detachment, engine tampering, sudden loss of control. Ford Service Advisor admitted hood latch "should" be a recall, yet dealership attempts to charge $350-$500 ($250 diagnostic) for repair instead of initiating recall. This raises concerns Ford prioritizes profit over safety, esp. since Fiesta is discontinued. Other issues include previous brake pad lock-up requiring costly ABS Hydraulic Control Unit repair & door latch recall 20S15 ("door may unlatch while driving"). Multiple recurring issues suggest vehicle may be a lemon overall. Request immediate NHTSA investigation into hood latch defect & electrical/AC power loss issue. Urge recall consideration. I will gladly allow my vehicle to be studied in a NHTSA lab to aid investigation. Concern heightened by Ford's discontinuation of model.

The back passenger back door had problems wouldn’t close rt now can’t open. In May it felt like it wasn’t getting power, engine light said turn off car for 10 minutes, while stuck in traffic, so i had it towed to Upland Ford Dealers, they charged me $209.99 Just to look at it! Then after inspecting it they wanted almost $4,000. Which i can’t afford. They said it was the Clutch Assembly part. The car also has some electrical problems like the car stopped showing the millage last was a round 101. The phone not connecting & the charger plug not working either

My car just died on me. No warning or anything. Took the dealership 2 and half weeks to fix my car. They came to the conclusion that it was my Trans harness cable. Cost $820.00 to fix.

My 2014 Ford Fiesta started to "Smoke". There was a smoldering Electrical short emitting smoke from fusebox. The car would not Start after this incident. I have a letter from Ford indicating the Fusebox had a recall on this Issue due to a corrosion defect. I took it to local Ford dealer who Confirmed recall/defect

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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

THE 2014 FORD FIESTA, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, HAS A SINGLE POWER DOOR LOCK BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD. IN ORDER TO UNLOCK ALL DOORS, INCLUDING THE TRUNK LATCH, ONE MUST LEAN ALL THE WAY IN TO PRESS THE POWER UNLOCK BUTTON. THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE TRUNK USING A KEY. WHEN DOING THIS, THE PERSON UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE IS LEFT VULNERABLE, AND IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK, AND IS OPPOSITE ALL THE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED BY POLICE AND OTHER SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS: DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR CHILDREN (WHEN HAVING TO LEAN IN TO UNLOCK THE BACK DOORS WHERE THE CHILDREN WILL GO) AND DO NOT LEAN INTO YOUR CAR WHERE YOU COULD BE CARJACKED. IT IS DANGEROUS, AND EITHER THE COMPANY NEEDS TO PURCHASE BACK THE VEHICLES OR FIND A WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE SO THE POWER LOCK IS ON THE DOOR (THERE ARE NO BUTTONS ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOORS, EITHER).
