2013 FORD FIESTA Complaints

MY CAR HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT AM STILL HAVING ISSUES, EVEN AFTER ALL THE SERVICES AND NOW I AM OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY & THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS DUE TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN THE FORD FIESTAS. I WAS FIRST TOLD IT WAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY BUT TURNS OUT THEY JUST EXTENDED IT TO 150,000 MILES, WHICH I WAS BARELY OVER. I EXPERIENCED LUNGING FORWARD, LOSS OF POWER AND WHAT SOUNDS LIKE METAL SCRAPING AGAINST METAL.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN TRASH EVERY SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS CAR SERVICED SO MANY TIMES FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT REASONS. MY COMPLAINT TODAY IS THE COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT PLUS IT IS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATER. ANY SUGGESTIONS? HAS ANY ONE ELSE COMPLAINED? IF YOU CHECK THE HISTORY ON THIS CAR YOU WILL FIND ALL THE TROUBLE I HAVE HAD TO ADDRESS?

4/2019 FOUND OUT ABOUT DOOR RECALL. QUIRK FORD SAID THEY FIXED ALL 4 DOORS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 9/2016 HOWEVER 4/2019 MY BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE AND I COULD NOT LOCK THE DOOR. IT KEPT OPENING WHILE DRIVING. FIXED IT. 10/19 MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THE CABLE IN THE DOOR BROKE AS WELL. KEPT OPENING WHEN DRIVING EVEN THOUGH I TIED IT WITH A CORD. NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE DOORS PRIOR TO THE LATCHES FAILING. GOT THIS FIXED I AM AFRAID THIS MAY HAPPEN WITH THE OTHER DOORS AND RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I FEEL THEY ARE STILL USING DEFECTIVE LATCHES.

LOW LAMP HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AT NIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE TO GET HEAD LAMPS REPLACED, HAD TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC RUN AND FOUND THAT THE FUSE AND FUSE BOX WERE CORRODED TO THE POINT OF NEEDING REPLACED.

RECEIVED A COSTUMER SERVICE LETTER (15B22/19N07) STATING ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION TCM AND TO BRING CAR INTO DEALER FOR EVALUATION/FIX. ONCE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD WE NEEDED TO PAY $200 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST OF THE CAR TO SEE IF IT IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE SUCH AS SKIPPING GEARS, LOSS OF POWER AND THE CAR EVEN STALLING OUT. IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION I FEEL I AS A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A DIME TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM.

STILL HAVING PROBLEMS SHAKING AND SHUDDERING. LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY.

MY VEHICLE KEEP LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. THEN SLOWLY BUT SURELY, I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. THE CAR WOULD "SHUDDER" IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED RUNNING LOUD. FINALLY, I THINK BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE FLUID LEAK DESPITE ME CONTINUOUSLY ADDING FLUID, THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. I HAD ASKED AROUND AND WAS TOLD MY GEARBOX NEEDED TO BE OILED AND HAVE THE OIL CHANGED, GEAR SHIFT NEEDED REPAIR OR THE INPUT OR OUTPUT FOR THE FRONT END NEEDED REPAIRING.
