2015 FORD FIESTA Complaints

I HAVE A 2015 FIESTA THAT HAS 811 MILES ON IT. THE VIN # [XXX]. I BOUGHT FOR MY DAUGHTER AND SHE HAS HAD THREE ACCIDENTS. SHE HAS NOT DRIVEN THE LAST 1 YEARS, AS THE HIDE ORIGINAL MESSAGE POLICE SAID IT WAS HER FAULT, ALTHOUGH SHE SAID THAT THE CAR JUST MOVED FORWARD! AT THAT TIME WE DID NOT HAVE ANY IDEA THAT THE FIESTA HAD ANY PROBLEMS. SHE ALSO HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO WORK BECAUSE THIS WENT AGAINST HER RECORD. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN MY GARAGE, AND HIRE SOMEONE ABOUT EVERY SIX MONTH TO COME AND SERVICE THIS CAR. MAY I ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER REFUNDING TO ME THE PRICE I PAID AND YOU CAN THEN HAVE THIS CAR BACK. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY CONSIDERATION. KIND REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN YOU PUT GAS IN IT DON'T WANT TO START BACK . AND FOR NO ODD REASON IF YOU SLOW DOWN THE LIGHTS ON INSIDE FLICKERS AND SHUTS CAR COMPLETELY OFF

OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING AND STOPPED AT STOP SIGNALS THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE CAR ALSO OCCASIONALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THE CAR ALWAYS SHUTS OFF SHORTLY AFTER FUELING, THIS MAY OCCUR BETWEEN 1-4 TIMES AFTER FUELING. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN OIL SLOWLY ACCUMULATING AROUND THE ENGINE BLOCK NEAR THE TOP OF THE BLOCK NEAR THE VALVE COVER.

EVERY TIME GAS IS FILL (AND VEHICLE IS OFF), ONCE DONE PUMPING GAS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT WANT TO START RIGHT AWAY, IT WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS ONLY OCCURS LITERATELY AFTER PUMPING GAS. 1/30/20 WAS THE LAST TIME IT WAS FILLED WITH GASOLINE. BUT EVERY WEEK GAS IS PUMPED IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. THIS STARTED WHEN MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 20,000.00 I BELIEVE, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AND WAS INFORMED TO CALL A TOLL. I ALSO SPOKE TO THE SALESPERSON AND INFORMED HIM. I WAS INFORMED THEN TO CHANGE GAS TYPE. ALSO BEEN TAKING THE VEHICLE FOR SAME PLACE (FORD) FOR OIL CHANGES, ALL THE SUDDEN THERE IS AN OIL LEAK AS WELL. UNSURE HOW, WHEN EXACTLY IT HAPPENED. IT'F VERY MINOR, BUT INTERESTING BEING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD. ON ANOTHER NOTE JUST TO INFORM, THE SUSPENSION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACE DUE TO BEING FACTORY DEFECTED. AT THE TIME, VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. FOR BOTH ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ONE NIGHT AND IN THE MIST OF DRIVING , IT WAS JERKING REALLY BAD AND THE ACCELERATION WAS GOING IN AND OUT . THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ON AND RUNNING IT WOULDN'T MOVE AS IF IT WAS STUCK , LUCKILY BEFORE SOMEONE HIT ME BEHIND IT JUMPED BACK INTO TO GEAR AND STARTED TO MOVE A LITTLE UNTIL IT STARTED TO JERK AGAIN. I DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE BUT 2 MINS DOWN THE STREET AND BACK HOME. ONCE I GOT HOME AND WAS READY TO LEAVE AGAIN IT WOULDN'T START ANYMORE AND NOW I NO LONGER HAVE A CAR AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT LONG. I TOOK THE CAR TO FORD AND IT WAS STATED THAT IT'S A RECALL ON SOMETHING TO DO DUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND ON THE PAPER THE SAME EXACT THINGS THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS ON THE RECALL POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A FIELD SERVICE ACTION AND HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT ALLAN VIGIL FORD (6790 MT ZION BLVD, MORROW, GA 30260). THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE REPAIR, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $2,800 TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

REPLACING IGNITION SWITCH ON 2015 FORD FIESTA 23 JAN 2020 AND WAS NOTIFIED BY THE FORD SERVICE MANAGER AT FAIRWAY FORD IN EVANS, GA, THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING SYSTEM WAS NOT INSTALLED ON VEHICLE. THIS ALSO DID NOT LOCK GEAR SHIFTER. WE ARE NOW HAVING TO HAVE IT INSTALLED AND PAYING TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. LUCKY THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENTS.

MY CAR LIKES TO DECELERATE WHEN MY FOOT IS ON THE GAS. SOMETIMES IT WILL STOP WHILE I AM DRIVING IT ON THE ROAD I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. THEY KEEP SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT A CAR SHOULD NEVER STOP UNLESS YOUR FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR HAS TURNED IT OFF FOR ME AND IT WILL JUST TURN BACK ON.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF. I WAS DRIVING DURING NORMAL CONDITIONS, ON 12/09/2019 IN FLORIDA. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND THE VEHICLE GAVE NO INDICATIONS THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. I HAD JUST HAD MY BATTERY TESTED A FEW DAYS PRIOR AND IT WAS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE THIS TIME AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN WHEN I TRIED. IT STALLED A SECOND TIME BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MERGE BACK INTO TRAFFIC. IT RESTARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE RECALL LISTS FOR FORD AND THE 2014-2015 FORD FIESTA IS ON THE LIST WITH THE ISSUE MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. WILL THERE BE A RECALL ON MY VIN? THE CURRENT RECALL DEALS WITH THE FUEL PUMP STALLING THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL NUMBER RELATING TO THE FUEL PUMP PLATING IS 14S30. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 15V005000
