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.

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

Mileage: 113,000

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.

Mileage: 50,000

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.

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.

Mileage: 46,000

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.

CAR STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AND NOW FUEL PUMP SEIZED.

Mileage: 77,000

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.

Mileage: 50,000

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.

Mileage: 40,000

MY FUEL PUMP SEIZED UP ON BYPASS N STALLED OUT

Mileage: 55,000

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.

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 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.

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.

MY FORD FIESTA 2014 HAS A RECALL WITH THE MODULE VALVE. AT PRESENT I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. 1) RICHMOND HIGHWAY 2/2014 2) 9/2015 AND 3) 3/2016 AT PRESENT MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 10 WEEKS

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

Mileage: 38,000

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.

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.

I HAVE BEEN TAKING OFF AFTER STOPPING AND THE TRANSMISSION OR FUEL INJECTION MISSES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT ENGAGE THE DRIVE TRAIN JUST RIGHT. THE VEHICLE HESITATES, LURCHES, AND SHUTTERS. THE VIBRATION IS BAD AND I'M WORRIED IF I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DRIVE TRAIN, I MIGHT BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I CANNOT GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PATH OF TRAFFIC DUE TO THE HESITATION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *JS
