2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY CUT POWER TO THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DOWN MY STRAIGHT STREET. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. IT REFUSED TO START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO JUMP IT WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES AND CABLES. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A FAILED FUEL PUMP.

TAKATA RECALL - MY FORD FIESTA THAT I BOUGHT IN OCTOBER OF 2017 ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY GOING OUT. WHEN I ACCELERATE TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY IT FEELS LIKE I'M NOT MOVING AND MY WHEEL WILL SOMETIMES JERK TO THE SIDE. MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO VIBRATES WHEN I'M IN PARK OR BRAKING. I CAN ALSO FEEL THE VIBRATION ON THE PEDAL. I TRY TO TAKE IT EASY ON THE GAS BUT THE TRANSMISSION STILL JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. I KNOW THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE RECALLED JULY OF 2017 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE "LATCH" THIS ALSO HAS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR SOME 2014 FORD FIESTA'S BUT THIS ONE IS NOT ON THE LIST. WAS STATIONARY BUT ONCE THE DOOR WAS OPEN COULD NOT BE CLOSED DUE TO THE DOOR LATCH NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL FOR THIS VIN

WHILE DRIVING REAR DRIVER'S DOOR OPENED AND WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. HAD TO TIE DOOR DOWN WITH TAPE TO KEEP IT CLOSED. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER IN CASA GRANDE, ARIZONA AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT PART OF RECALL. COULD NOT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED.

WHILE SITTING IDLE AND DRIVING THE THROTTLE IS GETTING STUCK OPEN, THIS BEING AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE IS MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING EVERY OTHER DAY. I SHUT IT DOWN AND START IT BACK UP AND IT GOES AWAY THEN COMES BACK WITHIN 5 MINS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BEAU TOWSEND FORD (1020 W. NATIONAL RD, VANDALIA, OH) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AND WAS REPAIRED IN 2017. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR WOULD MAKE A CRACKALING SOUND THROUGH THE SPEAKERS FOR MONTHS STARTING IN MARCH OF 2018 AND ON JULY 5, 2018 THE RADIO , & BLUE TOOTH OPTIONS HAVE NOW CEASED TO WORK

OPEN RECALL FOR FUEL SYSTEM FOR THIS YEARS CAR TO THOSE MADE UP TO JUNE 2014. MY CAR SHOULD FALL UNDER THIS AS IT WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS AND THEREFORE REGISTRATION DUE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH STALLS OUT EVERY TIME I FILL UP FOR GAS. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUSPENSION NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE. EVEN MY MECHANIC IS COMPLETELY BAFFLED WHY A NEWER CAR WOULD HAVE SO MANY SAFETY ISSUES.

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH EVERY OWNER OF FIESTAS THAT I KNOW. I'M IN A COMMUNITY OF FIESTA OWNERS AND NEARLY EVERY ONE OF THEM HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE COMPUTER STEREO IN THE CENTER CONSOLE STOPS WORKING MID DRIVE. DISTRACTS DRIVER FROM THE ROAD.

MY CAR STALLS RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITH GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I AM LEAVING THE GAS STATION, ONCE WHEN I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND MANY TIMES WHEN I AM PULLING INTO TRAFFIC TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT (ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP). MY OWN MECHANIC TESTED THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS MY PURGE VALVE WHICH I LEARNED WAS RECALLED FOR SOME FIESTAS BUT MY FIESTA VIN IS NOT INCLUDED DESPITE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A FORD DEALER AND HE SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAID FOR A REPAIR.
