2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

TCM CIRCUIT FAILURE. FAULTY TRANSMISSION THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED ON THIS VEHICLE TWICE AND I AM STILL AS OF NOVEMBER 20, 2018 , HAVING DIFICULTY WITH THE SHIFT TRANSMISSION.

MILEAGE 48000 NOW ON 3RD RADIATOR COOLING FAN. FAN STOPS WITHOUT WARNING LEADING TO OVERHEATING AND LOSS OF AC. TRANSMISSION- CLUTCHES SLIPPING CAUSING ERRATIC ACCELERATION. UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS. 3RD SET OF CLUTCHES IN CAR NOW AND REVERSE IS BECOMING ERRATIC.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY DOOR FLEW OPEN. I'VE OWNED THE CAR 4 YEARS. I'VE HAD 2 TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES REPLACED, 2 SYNC SYSTEMS REPLACED, THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PARTS BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT INFO AT THE MOMENT. THERE HAVE BEEN 8-9 PARTS IN TOTAL. SOME OF THE RECALLS I HAVE RESEARCHED WERE BEFORE I WAS SOLD THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD IF I DIDN'T LIKE IT, DON'T BUY ANOTHER FORD. I JUST HAD THE LATEST TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND SYNC REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND ASKED ABOUT ANY CURRENT RECALLS AND WAS TOLD NONE AT THE MOMENT. I HAD MY WARNING LIGHT SENSOR CHECKED LAST MONTH BECAUSE IT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THEY RESET THE LIGHT. IT CAME BACK ON. STILL NOTHING FOUND. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM REPEATEDLY ONLY TO RECEIVE NO HELP. THESE CARS SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN SOLD LIKE THIS MUCH LESS ALLOWED TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD!

COOLING SYSTEM FAILS ON THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND OVER TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT DO NOT INDICATE / COME ON UNTIL THE ENGINE FAILS AND THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE TWO TIMES. EACH TIME THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF LOW COOLANT OR OVERHEATING CONDITION. MY CAR WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF WITHIN SECONDS LEAVING NO TIME TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH LITTLE TO NO BERM.

PASSENGER REAR DOOR STOPPED CLOSING., WHILE MOVING, CANNOT CLOSE BECAUSE LATCH WILL NOT ENGAGED, AND SECURE DOOR.

LEFT REAR DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE AND LATCH RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON 9/21 - THANKFULLY WHILE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. CONTACTED SUNLAND FORD IN VICTORVILLE, CA AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PART THAT FAILED WAS UNDER RECALL. ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT AFTERNOON ONLY TO FIND THAT THE RECALL PERIOD ENDED 60 DAYS BEFORE OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. WE BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE RELATED AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED AGAIN AS WE LEARNED IT HAD BEEN EXTENDED ONCE BEFORE.

MY CAR IS HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND JERKS AGGRESSIVELY. I THEN CHECKED THE FOR WEBSITE AND THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLL MODULE.I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT WORK ON THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MY CAR HAS A SALVAGED TITLE.

DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION;THE CAR HESITATES AND SPUTTERS WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, AS IF IT IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. LAST YEAR, I RECEIVED NOTICE OF LAWSUIT FILED IN CALIFORNIA AS TO THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD SETTLE WITH A DISPUTE RESOLUTION SPECIALIST WHICH DENIED ME THE REPURCHASE/REPLACEMENT BECAUSE I HAVE A 5 YEAR WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND CANNOT BE FIXED, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE WARRANTY IS 5 YEARS OR MORE. THE TRADE-IN VALUE OF THIS CAR IS SO LOW, I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I JUST WANT ALL TO KNOW THAT FORD DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES.
