2014 FORD FIESTA Structure Problems

The door latch on one of the doors has a broken piece inside of it that won't allow the door to close, no dealer has checked it out yet, my safety is a concern because any of the doors could break as well and open while I'm driving

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.

My car worked perfectly fine, I was out using it and coming back from the place I was at. My door just stopped closing out of nowhere. Realizing my door latch is not working at all anymore. It does not move

Every once in a while I go around a left handed curve, the right side passenger door it comes out, it will unlatch and then latch back.

When a rear seat passenger exits the vehicle and closes the door, the rear door does not latch properly. This causes the door to swing open while the car is moving. The vehicle is available for inspection. The problem has manifested itself on several occasions, especially when I am dropping off school children at their stop. The crossing guard has been kind enough to close the door for me. That is, he closes the door after it swings open. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer or repair shop (yet). The problem first appeared last week, after the Thanksgiving holiday break. There were no symptoms to warn of the problem. It just appeared out of the blue, so to speak. To describe the problem further: The door is closed by the passenger who has just exited the car. There is no "door open" light to indicate a problem. Then, after a few seconds, the door springs open and the "door open" light appears. It is annoying when it happens. It is also a safety issue.

back ride side door will not latch and stay closed,if aperson was in back seat with door that won't latch that person is in a dangerious position.backing out of drive way door opened and wouldnot latch shut.

I opened the back passenger door and now it wont shut.

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.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A ROPE WAS TIED ACROSS THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO SECURE THE DOOR. THE CONTACT CONTACTED QUICK LANE AT VILLAGE FORD OF BELLEVIEW LOCATED AT (11660 US-441, BELLEVIEW, FL 34420, (352) 233-2950) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

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

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.

Mileage: 59,000

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.

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!

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.

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

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?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO CLOSE THE DOOR, BUT IT WOULD NOT LATCH. THE CONTACT'S SON HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE DRIVING TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT TIED THE REAR DRIVER'S DOOR WITH A PIECE OF ROPE AND DROVE TO THE DEALER (LEGACY FORD, 413 INDUSTRIAL BLVD, MCDONOUGH, GA 30253) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS FAULTY. THIS WAS THE SECOND DOOR LATCH FAILURE WITHIN A YEAR. DURING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING. GREENE FORD (2365 BROWNS BRIDGE RD, GAINESVILLE, GA 30504) STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES AND, TO THE CONTACT'S UNDERSTANDING, THE RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE PAPERWORK SHOWED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PERFORMED, BUT THE SERIAL NUMBER WAS THE ORIGINAL DOOR LATCH THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE VIN SEARCH FOUND NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,422.

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.

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.

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

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.

Mileage: 39,855

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.

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.

OUR DAUGHTER WAS IN A 3 CAR ACCIDENT. THERE WAS BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN TRAFFIC WENT FROM MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED TO STOPPED. DIRECTLY AHEAD OF OUR DAUGHTER WAS A REFRIGERATOR TRUCK. OUR DAUGHTER WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP QUICKLY ENOUGH AND STRUCK THE BACK OF THE REFRIGERATOR TRUCK. THE SPEED LISTED ABOVE IS AN ESTIMATE. NO ONE IN THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE HURT, NOR DID THEIR CARS SUSTAIN REPAIRABLE DAMAGE. MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS STOPPING STRAIGHT AT THE POINT OF COLLISION AND STRUCK THE BACK OF THE TRUCK SQUARE. THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE SUGGESTED SHE BE CHECKED OUT IN THE ER. MY DAUGHTER SUSTAINED SOFT TISSUES INJURIES AND BRUISES. AFTER SOME TIME WITH THE CHIROPRACTOR SHE SHOULD BE FINE. MY QUESTION/CONCERN DEALS WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DID NOT. IS THAT POSSIBLE? ARE THERE SITUATIONS WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE LOWER BAG TO DEPLOY WITHOUT DEPLOYING THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG? THE SEAT BELT DID STOP HER, ALTHOUGH IT LEFT A LARGE RED MARK ON HER SHOULDER. IF THE SYSTEM WORKED CORRECTLY THAT IS FINE. WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE WITH EXPERTISE IN THIS AREA TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NOTHING FAULTY IN HER CAR. IF NEEDED WE CAN SUPPLY PHOTOS TO SHOW THE EXACT DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW FOR REPAIRS, SO THE MILEAGE IS A GOOD ESTIMATE. THANK-YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

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). THE ENGINEERS WERE WAY OFF ON THIS ONE.
