2014 FORD FIESTA Unknown Or Other Problems

The door latch is broken. Door latch will not lock when door is closed. Causing the door to stay open while driving

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

The transmission shift level locks in Park. The vehicle is available for inspection. Safety was a concern as I was stopped in a school unloading zone/fire lane and was unable to place the shifter in drive. This caused the lane to be blocked. I googled the problem, and was able to remove a cover and access a manual release. I do not know if the problem was previously inspected, however, it is a common search item on Google/internet. There was no prior warning. The problem persists and I will have it checked.

Transmission malfunctions while accelerating. Pulling into a busy road, the vehicle randomly stops accelerating which cause other vehicles to swerve to avoid a crash. The RMP will increase and loose acceleration and then there is no function of the acceleration. As soon as the warning light came on, contacted a dealer and the wait times are over 2 months. The dealer does not want to keep the vehicle and prefers you keep driving until they call you to bring it in.

I am remembering one incident I had years ago. It was my first year since I got my first driver license. I parked my car. While I was getting off with half of my body already outside the car, my car started moving forward. I jumped back in a car in a shock and tried to stop the car. I realized that I had not removed my car key. I also realized that a stick shift was in neutral position. I told myself that it was my wrong-doing, but after reading numerous complaints and lawsuits against Ford Fiesta over the last years, I am not so sure if it was my fault or the car's defect. It happened only once and can not reproduce this. Around the same time, I have also experienced car not starting several times but again I told myself I am just an idiot for not knowing how to start a car. I did Pre-Purchase Car Inspection in October 2016. The inspection report noted that my car had Engine Lights on with code U0131 and codeC0051. I received a CSP14M02 letter last Sunday and went to the dealership on Monday for TCM repair or replacement, but I was turned away.

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 vehicle was serviced by elk grove ford service dept. only 250 miles ago and the vehicle is back in for more service. time before did the same thing said the problem was this and when they repaired they called and said this is now wrong, I keep asking why no answer. Now the vehicle had to be taken in and I believe because I have put in complaints before that they are f with me and messing with me I told them elk grove ford [XXX] that the engine light came on and the wrench light on the engine came on, they called me and told me around march 30th that it needed this and that, they came back now and said the power train control module is needed and they cant find any part for it I found a part the advisor said the parts person looked half a day I don't believe them as see that the pcm can maybe reset they have not said to me if they tried resetting the pcm and I would like the part number. I feel I am being set up for more charges as if they would have check the wrench lamp I would not have two charges, they keep repairing items that I believe did not need to be replacement as the plugs were working find.

As I'm driving the car will stop if I get it to go again it won't pick up speed, it will rev up but not go, I was told that it has all the original parts that was until I had someone look at it for the problem stated since then it has new spark plugs new front brakes, break's in back have been rotated new tires, I'm still paying a car note on this car I've had to pay towing fees and still the problem persist I'm scared to put my boys in this car but it's our only form of transportation the dealer that sold me this car is horrible and Ford was of no help, still trying to find the main issue.

Clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder failure. Both leaked, clutch pedal ceased functioning while driving, leaving the car inoperable

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

I BELIEVE THIS IS A DOOR LATCH SAFETY ISSUES, WHICH HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN OTHER FORD MODEL CARS. *DT *TP

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

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.

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 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.

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.

TRANSMISSION STALLS AND JUMPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE.

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.

Mileage: 33,000

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.

Mileage: 52,000

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

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.

Mileage: 41,000

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.

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.

Mileage: 52,342

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.

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?

Mileage: 25,000

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.

Mileage: 30,500

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.

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.

CAR STUTTERS AND JERKS WHEN MOVING SLOW, OR COMING FROM S STOP. THE DUAL CLUTCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY.

NEW CAR BOUGHT IN FEBRUARY 2014. SUMMARY: DOORS REMAINED LOCKED AFTER IMPACT AND AIR BAG DEPLOY. INVOLVED IN FRONT END COLLISION. AIR BAG UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED. STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. OBVIOUS DAMAGE TO HOOD, GRILL AND RADIATOR. CAR AUTOMATICALLY PLACED IN PARK. WHEN EXITING CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACCIDENT, KEYS LEFT IN IGNITION AND DOOR WAS CLOSED BY USER AND DOORS REMAINED LOCKED (BY CAR, NOT USER). I WAS THEN LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR AND UNABLE TO ACCESS IT. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CHILD OR PASSENGER IN THE CAR, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN INACCESSIBLE DUE TO THE CAR NOT UNLOCKING THE DOORS UPON IMPACT/ AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IN AN ACCIDENT, THE USER MAY BE TOO FLUSTERED TO THINK OF PRESSING THE UNLOCK DOOR BUTTON PRIOR TO EXITING THE VEHICLE, THIS SHOULD BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY AFTER IMPACT.

THE 2014 FORD FIESTA HAS A VERY SLUGGISH SHIFT BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND GEARS AND THE UPSHIFT BOGS DOWN AS IF THE VEHICLE MIGHT STALL. THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT INCLUDES BUCKING, KICKING, JERKING, HARSH ENGAGEMENT, AND DELAYED ACCELERATION AND LURCHING. I HAD AN INCIDENT WHEN CHANGING LANES AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VEHICLE JERKED AND WHILE THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ALSO PARTIALLY AT FAULT, THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO A MINOR FENDER BENDER.

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.

ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE BEGAN AS SOON AS WE GOT IT. CAR CONSTANTLY STUTTERS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL (WAS TOLD BY SALESMAN THAT IT WAS BECAUSE CAR WAS BRAND NEW AND ONCE WE "BROKE IT IN' THAT WOULD GO AWAY). IT HAS NOT. DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IT SHOULD AND DOESN'T DECELERATE WHEN IT SHOULD, NO MATTER HOW HARD OR SOFT YOU PRESS THE PEDALS. CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN. LIKES TO ACCELERATE WHEN HAVE BRAKE PRESSED, HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED CARS IN FRONT BECAUSE OF IT'S LURCHING FORWARD. WHEN USING SPORT MODE, CAR WOULD NOT HAVE ANY MORE POWER, BUT ENGINE WOULD REDLINE. STRONG BURNING SMELL ALSO. ONCE CAR FINALLY GOT MOVING, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. YOU CAN PUSH BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT CAR IS STILL GOING - AND FIGHTING YOU TO KEEP GOING. DEALER UPGRADED SOFTWARE - WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS - AND TOLD US NOT TO USE THE SPORT MODE ANYMORE, WHICH WE DO NOT. DEALER STATED ALL COMPLAINTS WERE NOT ISSUES, THAT IS HOW THE CAR WORKS DUE TO THE TYPE OF ENGINE IT HAS IN IT. FIRST TIME FORD BUYER, FIRST BRAND NEW CAR IN A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. CAR IS DRIVEN TO AND FROM WORK 56 MILES EVERYDAY, PLUS LEISURE. FEEL VERY INSECURE DRIVING CAR. CAR IS NOT SAFE AND FORD NEEDS TO BE PRESSURED TO FIX THESE ISSUES OR STOP MAKING THESE TYPE OF ENGINES!
