PURCHASED 2014 FORD FIESTA AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT NOISE AND HANDLING ISSUES WITH THE HANKOOK OPTIMO TIRES ON MY FIESTA - CAR HAS APPROX. 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR - AND DEFINITELY HAVING A DRIVE AND SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES

THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING.THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE.. WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT. AND WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR.IT WASN'T CLOSING?? SO I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSE.WHILE TRYING TO GET BACK HOME.

"TAKATA RECALL" I AM SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN I APPLY MY FOOT ON BRAKES THERE IS NO PRESSURE, BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND; AS IF I AM NOT GOING TO STOP. I HAVE TO PUMP OR PRESS HARD ON BRAKES. MY BRAKE LIGHT ON DASHBOARD NEVER CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. THIS JUST SUDDENLY HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO WORK (10/26/2017). I HAD BRAKES CHANGE ON 10/31/2017 AND STILL CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO BRAKE HARD, THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT, DRIVEWAY. EACH INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND NEED TO SLOW DOWN TO BRAKE FOR A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT SIGNAL.

1.0 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT WITHOUT WARNING AND CATOSTOPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WILL RESULT. THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE AND WARNING LIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ANY EARLY WARNING. THE ENGINE LOOSES POWER / FAILS AND ONLY THEN DO THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL AND THE CAR LOST POWER. I DOWNSHIFTED AND NOTED NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OUT OF NORMAL RANGES. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND LEFT ME SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED DID THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE LIGHT COME ON. THE GAUGES PROVIDED NO EARLY WARNING OF A COOLING ISSUE. THIS IS THE SECOND NEW ENGINE I HAD TO HAVE FORD INSTALL IN THIS CAR AND BOTH TIMES THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. COOLING ISSUE WITH NO WARNING PRIOR TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. BOTH INCIDENTS LEFT ME SIT IN THE ROAD WITH NO WAY TO PULL OVER. I HAD NO WARNING. THIS IS TO REPORT THE LATEST INCIDENT.

I BOUGHT THIS FORD FIESTA WITH THE 1.0L ECOBOOST NEW. ALL MAINTENANCE FOR THIS CAR IS UPTODATE NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE UNTIL OCT 10, 2017. I NOTICED THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS WELL BELOW THE MIN. LINE OF THE COOLANT RESERVOIR ALMOST BELOW THE TURBO COOLANT LINE IN THE TANK. I IMMEDIATELY FOUND SOME APPROVED COOLANT AND ADDED IT UNTIL THE MAX. LINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CAR DIDN'T OVERHEAT THE DAY BEFORE. I CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL 3 DAYS LATER AND FOUND THAT IT WAS HALFWAY BETWEEN THE TWO LINES ON THE TANK. I FILLED IT UP TO THE MAX. LINE. I CHECKED IT AGAIN ON SAT. MORNING OF OCT. 21ST. IT HAD DROPPED TO THE MIN. LINE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM. I CHECKED OVER THE HOSES AND LOOKED OVER THE ENGINE BLOCK, THE INTERCOOLER, AND WHAT I COULD OF THE RADIATOR, BUT I DIDN'T SEE SIGNS OF COOLANT LEAKING. IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS I PUT 3/4 OF A JUG OF COOLANT INTO MY CAR AND IT ONLY HAD ABOUT 36000 MILES ON IT. I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER ON SUN OCT. 22. AND THE TECHS DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND PRESSURE TEST ON MON. HE CALLED ME TO SAY THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TOLD HIM OF THE AMOUNT OF COOLANT SO HE THOUGHT TO RECHECK. THE DEALER DID A TOTAL OF 3 PRESSURE CHECKS ON THE CAR WITH NO LEAKS. I ASKED IF HE COULD CHECK THE EXHAUST FOR COOLANT OUT THE TAIL PIPE. HE SAID THAT IF IT WAS DOING THAT THE CAR WOULD BE RUNNING ROUGH BUT IT RAN FINE. I'M PICKING THE CAR BACK UP SINCE HE SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING MORE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, WHERE DID ALL THE COOLANT GO? IS MY CAR GOING TO OVERHEAT AND DO SOMETHING LIKE THE OTHER ECOBOOST ENGINE PROBLEMS, INCLUDING ENGINE FIRES?
