2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

AWHILE BACK MY CAR RAN HOT. I WENT TO THE STORE AND BOUGHT SOME COOLANT TO PUT IN IT AND IT WAS FINE. LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD MAYBE 3 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THAT MY CAR RAN HOT AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE A.C. RUNNING SO FROM THAT POINT ON I NEVER RAN THE AIR. SO APPROPRIATELY 3 WEEKS AGO MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WHEN HE GOT THE CAR VALET HAD THE AIR RUNNING AND FROM THAT DAY IT CONTINUED TO RUN HOT. I ALLOWED IT TO COOL, ADDED COOLANT AND IT DIDN'T HELP. MY CAR PROCEEDED NOT TO CRANK. I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT I HAD BLOWN A HEAD GASKET. FROM THERE I TOWED IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DID A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I'VE BLOWN AND HEAD GASKET AND THAT THE CYLINDER WALLS ARE DAMAGED AS WELL AND THEY RECOMMEND ME REPLACING THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST ROUGHLY $8000

CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE LIGHTS AND ALL WARNING BUZZERS STARTED TO FLASH THEN THE CAR LOCKED UP AND I WAS STUCK IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T GET OUT. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TO JIMMY STICK THE DOOR TO GET ME OUT, THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE TCM TRANSMISSION MODULE WAS AT FAULT, AND WAS REPLACED, THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE AFTER THIS REPAIR. FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS UNDER FULL FACTORY WARRANTY. THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE A SERIOUS ISSUE EXISTS. I KEEP BRINGING THE CAR TO DEALERSHIPS AND FORD WON'T AUTHORIZE NEEDED REPAIRS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIS LAST ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING, OR SOMETIME UPON STARTING THE CAR, THE CAR WILL UNLOCK ALL THE DOORS, SHOW A FAULT WITH TPMS SYSTEM, WILL NOT SHOW THAT BLINKERS OR HAZARD LIGHTS ARE WORKING, INFORMATION SCREEN LOCATED ABOVE RADIO MAY OR MAY NOT GO BLANK, WILL NOT INDICATE WHETHER HIGH BEAMS ARE ON OR NOT, WILL NOT INDICATE WHETHER YOU HAVE A DOOR OPEN OR NOT. HITTING TOP OF DASH WILL MAKE EVERYTHING GO BACK TO NORMAL MOST TIMES. THEN THE PROCESS REPEATS AND KEEPS GOING. DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE IN MOTION FOR THIS TO OCCUR.
