2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. AAA LOADED THE VEHICLE TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT WORKING IT SHOWED A FAULT. NO FUEL WAS GETTING TO THE ENGINE, THE CAR WAS ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED. I TOLD THEM THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE WORKS FOR THIS PROBLEM, STILL NO HELP. NO INJURIES INVOLVED.

A HEATER VENT IS STUCK AND THE TIMING BELT IS SLIPPING OVER IT AS THE CAR STARTS UP. SOUNDS LIKE AN AUTOMATIC GUN GOING OFF. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND THE SUN COMES OUT. HAVE TRIED TURNING TO AC OFF AND THE FANS OFF NOTHING HELPS.

LATCH ON REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CATCH AND DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE AS A RESULT. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE DOOR. A FRIEND GOT OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND TRIED CLOSING THE DOOR. THE DOOR JUST SWUNG BACK OPEN.

TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SLIPPING AND VIBRATING WHILE DRIVING WAS REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY SINCE I WAS AT 36,000 MILES. A WEEK LATER THE FRONT AXLE FELL APART WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION DUE TO A FAULTY BOLT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING THE SUMMER IN HOUSTON MY A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED AND PRODUCED A DISTURBING ODOR WITHIN THE CAR. IT INHERENTLY HAS CAUSED DRIVING DURING THE SUMMER TO BECOME VERY TAXING DUE TO THE HEAT EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BECOME DIZZY DUE TO THE HEAT. A FEW DAYS LATER I HAD 2 BLEND MOTORS ALSO FAIL WITH THE A/C SYSTEM THAT NOW CAUSE INTERMITTENT AND LOUD CLICKING NOISES THAT CAN BE DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING.

THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN. A SMALL PLASTIC PART SNAPPED OFF AND NOW THE DOOR WON'T SHUT, OR IF IT DOES SHUT, POPS OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SOLVED WITH A RECALL, RECALL 15S16, COVERING CERTAIN 2014 FIESTAS. FORD SAYS MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, BUT IT HAS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED ON RECALLED VEHICLES. MY DOOR IS NOW PERMANENTLY TIED SHUT AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $550 TO REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STILL DEFECTIVE, AND WILL THE REST OF MY DOOR LATCHES ALSO BREAK NEEDING $550 EACH TO REPAIR?

RATTLE IN TRANSMISSION WHEN EXCELLERATING FROM 10-30 MILES AN HOUR. HAVE HAD IT IN SHOP AND THEY TELL ME ITS IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE CAR HAS A LOT OF PLASTIC PARTS THAT MAY CAUSE THE RATTLE, BUT NO FIX? THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF THIS WAS DANGEROUS OR NOT?? SOMETIMES IT IS VERY LOUD. CITY STREET DRIVING, SOME FREEWAY, AND TURNING. CK'D FOR RECALLS, FOUND NONE. THIS IS ON GOING, EVERYDAY.

MY VEHICLE IS A PART OF THE CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE POWER TRAIN. FORD WILL NOT PAY FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO CLOSE THE DOOR, BUT IT WOULD NOT LATCH. THE CONTACT'S SON HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE DRIVING TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT TIED THE REAR DRIVER'S DOOR WITH A PIECE OF ROPE AND DROVE TO THE DEALER (LEGACY FORD, 413 INDUSTRIAL BLVD, MCDONOUGH, GA 30253) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS FAULTY. THIS WAS THE SECOND DOOR LATCH FAILURE WITHIN A YEAR. DURING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING. GREENE FORD (2365 BROWNS BRIDGE RD, GAINESVILLE, GA 30504) STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES AND, TO THE CONTACT'S UNDERSTANDING, THE RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE PAPERWORK SHOWED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PERFORMED, BUT THE SERIAL NUMBER WAS THE ORIGINAL DOOR LATCH THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE VIN SEARCH FOUND NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,422.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17S090000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.
