2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE AND LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF LOT IN 2014, I HAD MINOR ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. NOW MY WARRANTY IS LONG EXPIRED AND THE ISSUES ARE WORSE. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO GARAGES MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MOST SAYING IT'S NORMAL, THE CAR HAS TO GET USED TO YOUR DRIVING, AND ALSO SOME SAYING THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. IT ACTS UP EVERYONE IT'S DRIVEN NOW EVEN AFTER ONE OF THE SERVICE BULLITENS FOR THE TCM. CONSTANTLY SHUTTERS JERKS GRINDS AND BUMPS HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING GOING UP HILLS AND FROM A STOP IT'S WORSE IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC

THE CONDITION THE CAR PRESENTS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THEY SEVERELY AFFECT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR'S SPEED, ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. I WAS ALSO NOT INFORMED OR NOTIFIED OF THIS DEFECT ON THE CAR.

2014 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DOOR LATCH MALFUNCTION AND VEHICLE VIN NOT LISTED ON FAULTY DOOR LATCH ISSUE RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IN JULY 2015, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LATCH ON HIS DAUGHTERS VEHICLE OPENED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT LATCH. THE CONSUMER LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER REPAIRED UNDER WHAT THE CONSUMER BELIEVED WAS THE RECALL. IN JULY 2016, THE LEFT REAR DOOR OPENED AND WOULD NOT LATCH. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMERS DAUGHTER IT AS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS AN OPEN FOR THE PROBLEM. ONE MONTH LATER, SHE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DOOR LATCH PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. ONCE AGAIN, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, IT WAS NOT COVERED. *JB

YESTERDAY THE DOOR LATCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED, RESULTING IN THE DOOR BEING UNABLE TO REMAIN CLOSED. THANKFULLY THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS IS A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM ON FORD FIESTAS, BUT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL, AND AS SUCH I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. MY FEAR IS THAT GIVEN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD FIESTAS, THE DOOR LATCH ON MY OTHER DOORS WILL FAIL, AND NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE, AND THERE IS THE SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

MY WIFE AND I WERE ON RT3 TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50MPH WHEN WE WERE HIT ON THE LEFT SIDE WHICH PUSHED US ACROSS THE HIGHWAY INTO A STONE WALL THE CAR WAS DAMAGED ON THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE AND FRONT AND RIGHT SIDE AND FRONT THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED WAS AT THE KNEE THERE WERE NO OTHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WE WERE BOTH INJURED WE HAVE THE POLICE REPORT AND PICTURES.

I PURCHASED A FORD FIESTA VEHICLE IN 2014.WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY STALLED AND SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY LIKE A KILL SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED OFF DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 1 YEAR FROM PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. THEN A SIMILAR SITUATION OCCURRED IN 2015. AND NOW AGAIN, IN 2017 THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP/SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY STALLS AND SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY LIKE A KILL SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. I AM TOTALLY DISSATISFIED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE DANGER MY LIFE WAS PUT IN WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS A VERY PRICEY INVESTMENT THAT I DID NOT EXPECT TO OR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING REGARDING SEVERAL LIFE THREATENING ISSUES AND DEFECTS WITH THE FORD FIESTA. ESPECIALLY IN SUCH SHORT PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NOT SOLD TO PEOPLE UNTIL THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY FIXED. *TR
