2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

I HAD TO RECENTLY PARK MY VEHICLE. REBUILT MY TRANSMISSION 70,000 & 92,000 TRANSMISSION STILL CONTINUED TO SLIP, NO POWER ON FREEWAY.

DOOR LATCH ON BACK DRIVERS SIDE OPENED DURING MOVEMENT OF CAR ON A CITY STREET. MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BUT WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE DOOR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO FORD AND THE VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 3 MILLION CARS SERVICED FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE.

CLUTCH PEDAL WILL STAY STUCK DOWN IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION 6 SPEED. INTERMITTENT, BUT REPEATABLE (NOT EVERY TIME BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO STOP HAPPENING) PREVENTS CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING. CAN HAPPEN WHETHER SHIFTING STOPPED OR WHILE IN MOTION. LIFTING ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL BY HAND (OR FOOT) WILL REENGAGE THE CLUTCH. HAS HAPPENED WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IN AN INTERSECTION, COULD NOT PROCEED UNDER POWER IN ANY GEAR TILL MANUALLY (AWKWARDLY) REACHING DOWN AND LIFTING PEDAL WHILE TRAFFIC APPROACHING ME.

VEHICLE OVERHEATS FREQUENTLY WHILE IDLING. ENGINE COOLANT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND TOPPED OFF. FUSES HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

AUG. 11, 2019 WENT OUT TO TURN ON THE CAR AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I GOT A BOOST AND THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND THE LIGHTS STILL DIDN'T TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP HAD THE FUEL CHANGED STILL NOTHING. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BEARINGS. I DO NOT HAVE THAT TYPE OF MONEY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE I'VE ONLY HAD IT TWO AND A HALF YEARS.

MAJOR PROBLEMS IN MY 2014 FORD FIESTA WITH THE DPS6 DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. AT TIMES YOU CANNOT GET IT TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CANNOT GET YOU CAR TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH BECAUSE IT IS STUCK IN FIRST. TACH IS HITTING 7000 RPM'S BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET IT TO SHIFT. YOU HAVE TO KEEP SLOWING AND ACCELERATING UNTIL IT FINALLY SHIFTS. THEN THE OTHER MAJOR PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK IT REALLY IS NOT IN PARK. A WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND WARNS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PARKED AND TAKEN THE KEY OUT. IF I AM ON A SLOPE THE CAR WILL START ROLLING. YOU HAVE TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE THERE IS NO RELIABLE WAY TO GET IT TO GO INTO PARK. I HAVE THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE ONGOING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO MINE. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD ONCE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE SAME THINGS WERE HAPPENING AGAIN.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL UPON AGGRESSIVE ACCELERATION. JERKY SHIFTING AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS.

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AND DIES AT LOW SPEEDS, FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS IT AS A PART OF THEIR RECALLS, WAS TOLD I NEED TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET, VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND SPORADIC OCCURRENCES OF STALLING. ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND OFF BEFORE THE VEHICLE BEGINS STALLING. IT WILL QUITE LITERALLY SIEZE UP ON OCCASION AND NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WILL ALSO RANDOMLY DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING USING GEARS 2-3.

RIGHT REAR DOOR LATCH STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR SWING OPEN. I STOPPED TO CLOSE IT BUT IT BOUNCED OFF THE FRAME WITH EACH ATTEMPT. WOULD NOT LATCH NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED. HAD TO PUT CAR IN GARAGE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE CONTENTS.

TAKATA RECALL CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERS TAKATA RECALL GEAR CHANGE IS ROUGH WILE DRIVING FOREWORDS SHUDDERS I HAVE TO TURN KEY ON AND OFF MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START LOUD CLUNK WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN TAKATA RECALL TOOK CAR IN FOR SYNC RECALL MANY TIMES STILL NOT FIXED
