2013 FORD FIESTA Complaints

THE HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. I WAS OUT SHOPPING AND FINISHED AT JUST ABOUT SUNSET. I WENT TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON BUT NO LIGHTS BUT ALL THE RUNNING LIGHTS WERE ON. I TURNED THE SWITCH ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY STILL NO HEADLIGHTS; TRIED THE HIGH BEAMS, THEY WORKED. I DROVE HOME WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND WAS CONSTANTLY FLASHED BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED THE FUSES THEN THE RELAYS FOR LOW BEAM. FOUND THE PROBLEM - RELAY R11 HAD A BADLY CORRODED PRONG WHICH BROKE OFF IN THE BOX ITSELF. I CAN NOT PULL THE CORRODED PRONG OUT - NOR CAN I DRIVE A NIGHT UNTIL THE ENTIRE UNIT IS REPLACED. MY WIFE IS ON HOSPICE AND THIS COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT A WORST TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AT ALL, BUT NONE THE LESS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT AGAINST CLINTON FAMILY FORD IN ROCKHILL SC MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON IT WHILE UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY BUT IT WAS IN SERVICE THERE TWICE BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED NOW THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS OUT AND I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WON'T FIX IT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 1887.28 DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT WASN'T FIXED WHILE UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY MY NUMBER IS [XXX] IS MY NAME THEIR NUMBER IS 803 366 3161 MY EMAIL IS [XXX] PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING, REPLACED BULBS WITH NO LUCK. CHECKED FUSES AND IT WAS BLOWN, REPLACED FUSE AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES THEN BLEW THE FUSE AGAIN. EVERY TIME WE REPLACE THE FUSE IT BLOWS WITHIN AN HOUR. RADIO STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD MAKE VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. WE FINALLY HAD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR THE RADIO TO MAKE IT STOP. SO NOW THERE IS NO WORKING RADIO AS WE ARE AFRAID TO REPLACE THE FUSE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS LEMON DAILY AS IT IS HER ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK. SHE STILL OWES MORE FOR THE CAR THAN SHE COULD GET IF SHE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN ON SOMETHING ELSE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A LEMON AND TAKEN OFF THE ROADS. SHE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE SHE BOUGHT IT, BUT SHE DIDN'T GET IT NEW SO BY THE TIME SHE BOUGHT IT OF COURSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY AND NOW SHE IS STUCK WITH IT. ALSO, SHE PREVIOUSLY HAD TO PUT IT IN THE SHOP DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SHE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ON TAKE OFF THE CAR WOULDN'T GO, RPMS WERE AROUND 3000 AND ALL WARNING/MESSAGE LIGHTS WENT OFF AT THE SAME TIME. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HER CAR THAT WE NEVER KNEW ABOUT WHEN WE PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALER.

PARKED AND ENGINE OFF: WHEN REFUELING, THE GAS BUILDS UP, AS IT "BURPS" GAS SPILLS OUT UNDER THE CAR WHEEL AND ON TO THE PAVEMENTS. THE REFUELING TAKES FOREVER, SINCE WE PURCHASED IT - WE SMELLED OUR HANDS & SHOES SMELLING LIKE GAS, BUT DIDN'T CONNECT IT IMMEDIATELY TO FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE SINCE IT WAS A NEW CAR.

SENSOR ON MY CAR IS SAYING MY TRUNK IS OPEN AND IT'S NOT. ALSO, WHEN I UNLOCK MY CAR THE TRUNK POPS OPEN. INTERIOR LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF.

MY TCS GOES OFF WITHOUT ME SETTING THIS FEATURE AND THEN MY CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS EVEN WHEN IT'S IN THE DRIVE GEAR.

FORD FIESTA 2013 DOOR LACTH NOT WORKING. DOOR FLEW OPEN AS DRIVER WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY. DRIVER HAD TO HOLD DOOR AND DRIVE TO SAFETY, THEN TIE THE DOOR WITH A STRING TO GO HOME. FORD TED BRITT CHANTILLY SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO FIX, AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO FIX. THE RECALL NOTICE IS ON THE INTERNET RECALL NO. 15S16. NOTICE SAYS ALL SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT FORD HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE, SAYING VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED

PURGE VALVE CAUSED FUEL TANK TO BE SUCKED IN 3/4 OF AN INCH. WHILE DRIVING I HAVE SURGING AND WHEN STOPPED THE IDLE IS ERRATIC AND BOUNCES BETWEEN 1000 TO 2000 RPM. CAUSES CODE P0300 TO COME AND GO AND ALSO P0497 TO COME AND GO. EXTREMELY HARD FOR DEALERSHIPS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURE PROOF OF ISSUE.

HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. BROUGHT IT TO AUTO PARTS STORE. MANAGER STATED THAT RELAY FUSE FOR THE LOW BEAMS WAS FULLY CORRODED AND ONE OF THE PRONGS BROKE OFF IN THE FUSE BOX. HE SAID THE FUSE BOX LOOKS POORLY DESIGNED AND ALLOWS SAND AND WATER TO ENTER. PRONG STUCK IN FUSE BOX -- NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO GET OUT - CAN'T REACH IT WITH A TWEEZERS OR ANYTHING ELSE. I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST WHERE THEY PUT SALT ON THE ROADS WHICH MAY BE THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY BE A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NONE IN THE USA. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

SHIFTING FROM FIRST AND SECOND GEAR IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER. TAKING OFF AND GOING TO SHIFT IS GETTING WHERE IT FEELS STUCK. IT HAPPENS A LOT WHEN I'M TAKING OFF.
