2015 FORD FIESTA Complaints

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ENGINE WILL REV, RPM INCREASE, BUT SPEED WON'T CHANGE. THIS IS CAUSED SAFETY ISSUES FOR MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO INCREASE SPEED AND KEEP UP WITH ON GOING TRAFFIC. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT A YEAR AGO WARNING MY VEHICLE MAY RANDOMLY STALL DUE TO A DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER I STARTED EXPERIENCING RANDOM STALLS MAINLY WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS. I HAVE LOST MY RECALL NOTICE AND WHEN I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER THEY SAID THE VIN ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. HOWEVER, FORD HAS A PUBLIC RECALL RELATING TO A FUEL PUMP WARNING THE EXACT PROBLEM MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

REAR LEFT DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I STOPPED THE CAR TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND THE DOOR DIDN'T CLOSE ANYMORE. DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN. THERE IS A RECALL 15S16 FOR THE 2011-2014 FIESTAS FOR THIS SAME REASON. IT IS CLEAR THAT 2015 MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CRITICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO INVESTIGATED IN 2015 FIESTA MODEL SINCE THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT FROM SAFETY RECALL WITH NUMBER 15S16. THE DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND COULD HAVE INJURED OR KILLED A PERSON. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY CANNOT CONFIRM THAT MY 2015 FORD WHICH I BOUGHT IN 2014 DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME AFFECTED PART NUMBERS FOR THE DOOR LATCHES AS THE 2011 TO 2014 MODELS.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON FIRST GEAR. I ALMOST HAVE A COLLISION DUE TO THE PROBLEM, I WAS READY TO TURN ON A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE SLIPPING HAPPEN AND JUST BECAUSE THE OTHER VEHICLE STOP, I DIDN'T HAVE THE COLLISION HEAD ON. SO I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR REPAIRS, WHEN AFTER DIAGNOSTICS I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THEY NEED TO DO AN OVERHAUL ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION AFTER MY VEHICLE IS DRIVING FOR LESS THAN 9500 MILES.

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I WILL PUSH DOWN THE ACCELERATION AND HEAR MY ENGINE REV, HOWEVER, MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAS CAUSED SAFETY ISSUES FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK WOULD INDICATE A HALF TANK OF FUEL AND AFTER BEING DRIVEN A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A FULL TANK OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE FAILURE DUE TO THE FAILURE JUST STARTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. *DT*JB

DRIVER SIDE DOORS. BOTH LATCHES BROKE. THE DOOR WONT STAY CLOSED. THEY OPEN WELL I'M DRIVING. THE BACK DOOR LATCH WENT OUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND THE FRONT WENT OUT 2 DAYS AGO. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE SAME MODEL FROM 2012 TO 2014. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN JULY OF 2014 SO I'M PRETTY SURE THEY WERE USING THE SAME LATCHES. IT HAPPEN AT MY HOUSE AT 6601 EUCALYPTUS SPC 358 BAKERSFIELD CA

WHILE STATIONARY AND IN NEUTRAL MY CAR WILL STALL AND NOT TURN BACK ON. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND THAT ISN'T THE ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, MOSTLY WHILE WAITING AT LIGHTS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I'VE HAD TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF AN INTERSECTION, THROUGH A LIGHT. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON UNTIL AN HOUR OR MORE HAS PAST. THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON SEPTEMBER 2ND 2018. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. SINCE THEN IT'S HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. IT WILL FROM TIME TO TIME STALL OUT. NOW IT CRANK BUT WON'T START UP. YOU CAN BE DRIVING OR IDLE AND THE CAR SHAKES AND STALLS OUT. DUE TO THIS IT CAUSED MY CAR TO OVERHEAT. MY CAR WILL CRANK BUT NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE OTHER ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IT RAN HOT. SO HOT TO THE POINT THAT IT CRACK THE RADIATOR HOSE. I REPLACED. THE CAR WOULD RUN HOT IF YOU SAT IDLE WHILE DRIVING FOR TOO LONG.

THE CAR WILL STUTTER EVERY TIME AFTER FUELING UP AND SOMETIMES STALL WHILE PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DEFECT SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION YEARS AGO AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE FOLLOWED THERE REFUELING INSTRUCTIONS PER THERE MANUAL SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR AND THIS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, THIS DEFECT CREATES A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION.
