2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

CAR CURRENTLY HAS 90K MI AND THE CLUTCH IS BAD $1700 FOR DEALER TO REPLACE. FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 150K MI ON TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MODULE AT NO COST AND THEN THE MODULE STARTING LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND AS A RESULT THERE WAS A ROARING NOISE FROM ONE OF THE BEARINGS WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THE WORN CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS IS A KNOW ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSS ACCELERATION AND IT JERKS WHEN TAKING OFF AND LOSS OF POWER AND THE AC DOESN'T BLOW OUT COLD AIR. STAY AWAY FROM FORD

I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD, APPROACHING A 4WAY INTERSECTION; THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED. THE SCREEN STATED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. MY CAR RESTARTED AND THE SCREEN CLEARED. I PROCEEDED ON AND WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS THE SCREEN REPEATED THE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE. I THEN TURNED AROUND TO RETURN TO MY HOME AS THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY. BUT IT WAS SUNDAY. MONDAY I AGAIN CALLED AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD EXTENDED COVERAGE ON THE TRANSMISSION, TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD REPEATED WORK ON THIS VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2015. I HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED FOR THESE REPAIRS, BUT THE INCONVENIENCE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAD SLID THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

CAR OVERHEATED, BLEW HOSE, AND CRACKED CYLINDER WITH NEW FAN AND FLUID. CAR DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AND WILL SPEED FORWARD.

AFTER HAVING A FLAT TIRE, I FIND THAT THE INCLUDED LUG WRENCH WILL NOT FIT THE LUG NUTS. AFTER A GOOD SAMARITAN STOPPED TO HELP ME, AND HAD A 4 WAY WRENCH, WE FOUND THAT THE LUGS WOULD JUST SPIN. THEY WOULD NOT LOOSEN OR TIGHTEN. AFTER 3 HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND 3 PHONE CALLS TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, HE TOLD US THE LUGS HAD AN OUTER LAYER THAT WOULD SWELL OVER TIME CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WE HAD TO PUT A SOCKET ON THE LUG NUT AND BEAT THE SOCKET ON, TO SQUEEZE DOWN THE OUTER LAYER ONTO THE ACTUAL LUG. IF NOT FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S KINDNESS, I WOULD'VE BEEN STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK, FOR A SIMPLE NAIL IN MY TIRE. LUG WRENCHES AND SPARE TIRES HAVE NO PURPOSE WHEN YOU CANNOT GET THE LUGS OFF. AFTER HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND RESEARCHING IT, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALMOST ALL FORD MODEL VEHICLES, AND SO FAR, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX IT. THIS IS A MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HAZARD THAT CAN EASILY BE FIXED BY SOLID LUG NUTS INSTEAD OF THE JUNK THAT IS STILL BEING USED BY FORD. NOW I HAVE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES TO REPLACE LUGS, BECAUSE OF A BAD DESIGN.

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH FUEL, CAR TRIES TO STALL AND DROP RPM'S WHILE IDLING. CAR STALLED TWICE WHILE ROLLING TO A RED LIGHT AFTER FILLING UP. PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING. RPM WHILE IDLING IS HIGHLY UNPREDICTABLE AFTER FILLING UP.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I OPENED MY DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR TO LET MY YOUNG SISTER INTO THE BACK SEAT AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND LOCK INTO PLACE. THERE WAS NO VISUAL ISSUES WITH THE DOOR, BUT FROM THIS POINT ON I WAS UNABLE TO SECURELY CLOSE MY DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DOOR LATCH SAFETY ISSUES, WHICH HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN OTHER FORD MODEL CARS. *DT *TP

FORD IS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE THE PARTS TO COVER THIS RECALL, BUT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AND HARD TO GET, AND THE DEALERS DO NOT RECEIVE ADEQUATE PARTS TO DO THE JOB, NOR ARE THEY GETTING THE PROPER INSTRUCTIONS OR TRAINING TO DO THE JOB. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR 25 DAYS, ON A JOB THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE 5 HOURS, AND THERE IS NO WORD ON WHEN OR IF IT WILL EVER BE COMPLETED.

INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT FAILURE AT 42,000 MILES. UPPER JOINT HAS FAILED.THIS COMPRISES STEERING GREATLY. NEW PART ORDERED REPLACING MYSELF AS THIS IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

FORD COMPANY KNOWINGLY PUT FAULTY A TRANSMISSION IN THEIR VEHICLES. TO REMEDY THE SITUATION THEY THEN GAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WHEN TAKE YOUR CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THINGS THAT PART OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS VERY MISLEADING TO CONSUMERS AND A HAZARD FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN SAFETY ON THE ROAD. THE GEARS SHIFT WHILE IN MOTION, WHICH HAS ALMOST SEVERAL TIMES CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES TO HIT ME. WHEN AT A STOP PULLING OFF IT WILL BARELY ACCELERATE OR GIVE A JERKING ACCELERATION, WHICH IS AWFUL WHEN PEDESTRIANS ARE NEAR. ALL OF WHICH HAPPENS SPORADICALLY ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN CITY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM 2 YEARS AND THUS FAR I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIP AND NONE ARE WILLING TO UPHOLD THE FORD WARRANTY AND/OR ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT FORD KNOWS IS A HAZARD. IN CLOSING, I RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT AN SETTLEMENT REGARDING THIS VEHICLE, I RECEIVED NOTHING AND I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE NO ONE WILL REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DROVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
