2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

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. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

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

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.
