2013 FORD FIESTA Complaints

THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT WITH "ENGINE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW" MESSAGE APPEARING ON THE DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT WILL SPORADICALLY COME ON AND GO OFF. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AFTER READING VARIOUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED, ONLY TSB'S. THERE ARE PENDING LAWSUITS AS WELL - FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR A KNOWN ISSUE AT $350+ THIS NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS UNSTABLE, AND UNSAFE. IF FORD WON'T FIX THIS, I WILL BE FORCED TO FIND AN ATTORNEY.

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR SINCE 2017 AND I WAS THE 5TH OWNER BY 43K MILES DUE TO THE ISSUES THIS CAR HAS HAD. ITS NOW WORKING ON ITS 4TH CLUTCH REPLACEMENT SINCE 43K MILES AND IT ONLY HAS 99400K MILES ON IT . IT NOW HAS A DISTINCT WHINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND FORD JUST CONTINUES TO KICK ME OUT THE DOOR LIKE NOTHINGS WRONG . THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME LEFT AND RIGHT FOR SOMETHING THAT ISNT MY ISSUE . I ALSO HAVE INCLUDED THE WARRANTY REPAIR HISTORY ON THE VEHICLE

VEHICLE SHAKES AND SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION. IT HAS LOUD NOISE AND DECREASED SPEED WHILE ON RAMPS OR INCLINES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A LOT AND WOULD OVERHEAT WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS ALSO A FLUID LEAK UNDER THE VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION JERKS AND SHUDDERS WHEN THE CAR GETS HOT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY AND WHEN THE CAR GOES UPHILL IT ROLLS BACKWARDS.

LOCKS FLEW OPEN AGAIN WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME THE LOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DOOR OPENED SUDDENLY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS CAR. I REPORTED IT BUT IT SEEMS THERE WAS NO FEEDBACK FROM THIS WEBSITE EITHER. NOBODY CALLED OR EMAILED.

DELAYED SHIFT AT TAKEOFF; SHUDDER AND SLOW SPEEDS AT ACCELERATION. VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE; SHUDDERS, AND RATTLES. *RECALL REPROGRAM OF PCM AND TCM TWICE

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR OTHERWISE, MY CAR'S ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY JERK AND SLOW DOWN. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 30MPH. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN SLAMMED INTO SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TWICE AND HAD THE GAS PEDAL REPLACED AS THE COMPUTER PICKS UP A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE CHIP AND THE COMPUTER. AND BOTH TIMES THE NEW PART HAS FAILED. I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD, AND A DANGEROUS ONE CONSIDERING FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM

WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY PASSENGER DOOR OPENED AS IT HAD NOT LATCHED. MECHANISM APPARENTLY BROKE FOR NO REASON AND DOOR WILL NOT LATCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEWEY FORD (3055 SE DELAWARE AVE, ANKENY, IA 50021, 515-963-9575) WHERE THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED THREE OR FOUR TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND CRACKLES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON.
