2015 FORD FIESTA Complaints

CAR IS TWO YEARS OLD, ONE PERSON DRIVER, GOT IN CAR AND WENT TO SHUT DOOR. HANDLE BROKE RIGHT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON, ALL PLASTIC. NEED WHOLE NEW DOOR $498, NOT INCLUDING LABOR. FORD DEALERSHIP OR CORPORATE DID NOT CARE AT ALL OF COMMON SENSE THIS IS SHODDY WORKMANSHIP. STUCK, WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALLAN VIGIL FORD LINCOLN (6790 MT ZION BLVD, MORROW, GA 30260) WHERE THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT FAILED TO ACCELERATE ONCE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY FORD (1636 DOGWOOD DR SE, CONYERS, GA 30013) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THROTTLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL INJECTION VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD KEEP THE RECEIPTS IN CASE OF A RECALL. NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7.

VEHICLE HESITATES AND SPUTTERS WHEN TAKING OFF ON CITY ROADS, WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT OR MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO TRAFFIC. REAL SCARY TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC, WHEN YOU COULD LOSE POWER. VERY STRESSFUL TO DRIVE. MISSES WHILE DRIVING ALSO. TCM HAS BEEN FLASHED. REPLACED. CLUTCH JUST REPLACED. OVERHEATING LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR LOSES POWER: ON CITY STREET, USUALLY WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. DANGEROUS.! HAS DONE MULTIPLE TIMES. 3RD TIME INTO DEALER FOR OVERHEATING. LAST TIME WHEN, PULLED OVER, AFTER LOSING POWER, IN CITY TRAFFIC, HOOD WAS RAISED TO CHECK FAN, AND THE FAN WAS RUNNING BUT THIS IS WHAT DEALERSHIP REPLACED. OVERHEATING SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN STOPPED IN CITY TRAFFIC. OVERHEATING LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THERE'S A POWER LOSS. I THINK THE ONLY REASON YOU DON'T HAVE A REAL LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD FIESTAS IS BECAUSE, I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PPL KNOW TO GO HERE TO REPORT PROBLEMS. I JUST FOUND IT.JUST LIKE PRIOR PERSON SAID, IF YOU TRY TO SELL IT, FORD REALLY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF YOU. EVEN THOUGH YOUR CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD, AND YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THANK YOU. SO YOUR STUCK...

THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! IT HESITATES WHEN POWER IS EXPECTED. IT WILL DOWNSHIFT AND CAUSE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD WHILE BRAKING! THIS IS UNCONTROLABLE!! IT LUNGED INTO THE INTERSECTION AT A RED LIGHT (WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE), WITH CARS COMING TOWARD ME FROM BOTH SIDES!! THANK GOD THEY WERE ALL PAYING ATTENTION AND HAD GOOD BRAKES!! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!! THIS AND THE HESITATING HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES! I AM VERY NERVOUS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE ME TO WRECK BUT IT IS ALL I HAVE TO DRIVE AND CANNOT GET ANYTHING ELSE WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS ONE. OTHERWISE , I WOULD NOT DRIVE IT!! *YOUR FORM ONLY ALLOWS ME TO ENTER ONE DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES! JUST DIFFERENT PLACES AND CIRCUMSTANCES.

HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMED AT LEAST 4 TIMES BY 27,000 MILES AND CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT WILL HESITATE WHEN POWER IS NEEDED AND EXPECTED OR WILL DOWNSHIFT AND CAUSE CAR TO LUNGE AGGRESSIVELY FORWARD WHILE BRAKING. IT SEEMS ALSO COMMON FOR THE MODEL TO STALL ON HIGHWAY AND CLUTCHES REFUSE TO INGAGE IN ANY GEAR. I'VE HAD MANY OF THESE ISSUES OCCURRING AND IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND LIFE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE IT.

MY ENGINE BLEW A HEAD GASKET BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE COOLING SYSTEM OVERHEATED. SO I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER MOTOR FOR MY VEHICLE. THE MOTOR THAT WAS INSTALLED IS DOING THE SAME THING. THE COOLING SYSTEM IS OVERHEATING AND WHEN IT DOES I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS OFF. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE AND CANNOT DRIVE IT A LONG DISTANCE WITHOUT IT OVERHEATING. I DRIVE 50 MILES FROM MY JOB AND CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE THAT LENGTH OF DISTANCES WITHOUT MY GAUGE SHOWING OVERHEATING. ATTACHED TO THIS IS A COPY OF THE INVOICE THAT SHOWS PROOF THAT I HAVE HAD ANOTHER MOTOR INSTALLED AND THE REASON IT WAS INSTALLED.

PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY VEHICLE RUNS HOT. EVERYTHING POINTS TO COOLANT SENSOR READING INCORRECTLY. SEARCH RECALLS AND FIND THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T EFFECTED YET THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR SAME VEHICLE AND ENGINE SIZE USING THE SAME EXACT SENSOR. WORKED FOR FORD FOR 20 YEARS. HOW AND WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING FOR TO LIE AS TO THE PROBLEM WITH A POTENTIAL FIRE BEING A HEAD GASKET AND NOT THE FAULTY SENSOR THAT IS HAVING TO BE REPLACED? LET ME ANSWER THAT. SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO RECALL EVERY SINGLE CAR THAT HAS THE SENSOR WHICH IS EVERY SINGLE ONE. LET'S ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT FORD CAN THEN CLAIM THAT EVERYONE LEFT WITH AN OVERHEATED ENGINE WITH CRACKED HEADS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE AND NOT THE SENSOR THAT INCORRECTLY ADJUST FOR THE SYSTEM PRESSURE AND INCORRECTLY READS THE TEMPS. THANKS, THANKS FOR LOOKING OUT FOR THE CONSUMER. NOW I AM LEFT WITH THE CHOICE OF PAYING OFF 7GRAND ON PRACTICALLY NEW MODEL OR REPLACE THE ENGINE...AND SENSOR OF COURSE.

CLACKING SOUND IN DASH DUE TO A FAULTY A/C ACTUATOR. (CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND STOPPED) THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED, IT LAST A FEW SECONDS AND QUITS. THE DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT'S BAD AGAIN AFTER 20K MORE MILES. (PART #AV1Z 19E616 K) FROM WHAT I CAN TELL READING THE FORUMS ALL FIESTA'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU

UPON EASY ACCELERATION, THE THROTTLE RESPONSE GOES DEAD AT 20 TO 30 MPH, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO A CRAWL YET THE ENGINE SEEMS TO IDLE WELL...MY CAR HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION..FEARING REAR END COLLISION

SHUTTER IN THE TRANSMISSION , WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WASN'T SEVERE ENOUGH FOR FORD MOTOR TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS IN THESE VEHICLES BUT AREN'T WILLING TO FIX IT. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DO TO THE ISSUE. SHUTTER BEFORE CAR MOVES IN FORWARD PSOITION EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE .
