2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LATCHING SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GLEN JONES FORD CASA GRANDE (1932 NORTH PINAL AVENUE, CASA GRANDE, AZ) TO BE REPAIRED FOR THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE LATCH, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V210000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE DOOR LATCH ON THE BACK DOOR DOESN'T WORK, I SEE A RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE TYPE BUT NOT MY VIN

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUDDERING FOR YEARS AND UNTIL EVEN THE LAST DAY THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE TO REACT WITH THE SHUDDERINGS BEFORE TAKING OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LITE KEEPS COMING ON AND AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT A MINUTE CAR DOES NOT REVERSE AT ALL UNTIL CARS SHUT OFF. CAR RIGHT NOW IS NOT BEING DRIVEN BECAUSE ITS BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SOME TIME NOW. THIS IS MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. I NOW HAVE BEEN RENTING CARS WHILE I STILL PAY OFF THIS CAR TILL THIS DAY. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN LYING TO ME. I HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER AND GOT A LOW CLUTCH DUAL CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR. I GOT THE PART CHANGED OUT AND CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE LITE. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER EVERY MONTH. FOR YEARS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NEVER REALIZED HOW FORD HAS PUT ME AND MY DAUGHTER IN DANGER BY HAVING THESE FAULTY VEHICLES WITH MESSED UP TRANSMISSION THAT DIDN'T BELONG IN THESE TYPES OF VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET FIXED ONCE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A RECALL AND WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THE FIX AND IT CONTINUED AFTER SOME TIME TO GO BACK TO ITS USUAL SHAKE BEFORE TAKE OFF. LIKE I SAID THE LAST TIME I WENT FOR OIL CHANGE AND FULL INSPECTION OF VEHICLE AT SCARSDALE FORD DEALERSHIP THE MECHANIC SAID HE TOOK IT OUT FOR A DRIVE AND SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. AFTER I DROVE IT OUT THE DEALERSHIP CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE AND KNEW THAT HE WAS LYING. THEY JUST DONT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP I OWE OVER $4000 LEFT ON PAYMENTS AND THIS CAR ISNT WORTH NOT EVEN A PENNY FOR THE DANGER IT PUT ME THROUGH EVERYTIME I TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE. WHENEVER MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LITE CAME ON WAS WHEN I WAS ON LOCAL ROADS AND HIGHWAY. THE CAR AS OF NOW DOES NOT REVERSE BUT WHEN DRIVEN IT ALSO DOESNT CHANGE ITS GEARS PROPERLY IT SKIPS GEAR 2 SOMETIMES AND CAR SHAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. ALSO, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY JERKED AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT REFRAINED FROM DRIVING HIGHWAYS SPEEDS OUT OF CONCERN THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION AND CRASH. WYATT JOHNSON FORD (646 THOMPSON LANE, NASHVILLE, TN 37204, 615-244-3615) WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

SATURDAT JULY 30, 2019MY VEHICLE OVERHEATED.VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR COOLING MAINTENANCE. RADIATOR THERMOSTAT AND COOLING RESERVOIR WAS CHECKED. I WAS ADVISED TO MONITOR THE COOLANT LEVEL. ON AIGUST 10, 2019 WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED "OVERHEATING". I PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD. WHEN I OPEN THE HOOD THE COOLANT WAS BOILING. I WAITED 20 MINS FOR THE BOILING TO SUBSIDE. I SLOWLY REMOVED THE CAP AND THE COOLANT LEVEL STARTED TO RISE WHICH WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE.

TCM IT HAS A SLOW ACCELERATION IT TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR IT TO PICK UP SPEED AND THE CAYATIC CONVERTER

I LEASED THE CAR THROUGH MY BANK ON MAY 5TH 2016 WITH JUST OVER 35,000 MILES. TWO MONTHS INTO THAT THE CAR DIDN'T START AND ALL ELECTRONIC LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING. IT DISPLAYED TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. I TOWED THE CAR TO A BIG FORD REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION UPDATE AND A NEW CLUTCH. THEY TOOK CARE OF IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVEN (7) TIMES SINCE I GOT THE CAR MAY 2016. PRETTY MUCH EVERY FOUR MONTHS. IT IS COMPLETELY INCONVENIENT AND COSTLY. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE EVAP FUEL COMPONENTS. I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON NOW AND IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. THE LAST TIME I GOT A TRANSMISSION UPDATE FROM FORD WAS IN MARCH 2019. MY CAR NOW BARELY HAS 66,200 MILES SO IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH. I STILL OWE $4,800 ON THE CAR. I LEASED IT FOR $12,000. I AM HOPING I AM ABLE TO GET SOME HELP OR SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION FOR DEALING WITH THE ISSUES FOR YEARS. I TRADED IN A GOOD WORKING JEEP TO GET THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD ON GAS AND ECONOMICAL. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD CAR. I WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD CAR. I WOULDN'T WANT TO GET BURNED AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
