2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED, AND THE CLUTCH LOST POWER. THE DEALER PROVIDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK AGAIN FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

FRONT PASS.DOOR LATCH THAT KEEPS DOOR CLOSED BROKE WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY.THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL EXCEPT MONTH MINE WAS BUILT.MINE WAS BUILT IN 6/2013 AND RECALL EFFECTS MODEL THRU 05/2013.MY CONCERN IS I'VE READ THESE DOORS CAN COME OPEN WHILE IN MOTION.I HAVE KIDS IN MY CAR ALL THE TIME

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A CITY STREET GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHEN ANOTHER CAR THAT I DID NOT SEE OR EXPECT RAN A RED LIGHT SLAMMING INTO REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OF MY CAR. THE DOOR HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF DAMAGE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AFTER SUCH A SEVERE IMPACT?

UPON PARKING THE VEHICLE AND OPENING THE DOOR USING THE OUTSIDE HANDLE, THE DOOR LATCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED. THE DOOR WOULD NO LONGER REMAIN CLOSED. I NEEDED TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE DRIVING TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, AS IT WANTED TO SWING OPEN (ESPECIALLY DURING LEFT TURNS).

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 2014 FORD FIESTA S HATCHBACK. THE VEHICLE HAS A 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND 33350 MILES +/- ON IT. I HAVE TWO ISSUES WITH THE CAR: 1) THE SECOND AND REVERSE GEARS (ONLY) HAVE "POPPED" OUT NUMEROUS TIMES UNDER TORQUE. THIS OCCURS ONLY WHEN DECELERATING, ACCELERATING, AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE REVERSING SLOWLY OUT OF THE GARAGE ETC. THE LATEST EVENT WAS DECEMBER 29, 2016 TRAVELLING DOWN A SHORT ROAD. THE SECOND GEAR POPPED OUT AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TOWARD THE EMBANKMENT. EACH EVENT SURPRISES AND FRIGHTENS ME UNTIL I REALIZE WHAT HAS OCCURRED AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. 2) THE SECOND ISSUE IS SOMETHING IS PRODUCING A CLUNKING IN THE LR PILLAR (BETWEEN THE LR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE HATCHBACK). OR SO I IMAGINE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A HATCH STRUT IS HANGING LOOSE FROM THE TOP CONNECTION AND SWINGING AROUND INSIDE THE HOLLOW OF THE PILLAR. HOWEVER, BOTH HATCH STRUTS ARE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR AND APPEAR TO BE ATTACHED AS DESIGNED. THE NOISE IS ONGOING AND COINCIDES WITH VEHICLE MOTION, ESPECIALLY ON CURVES AND ROUGH GROUND.

VEHICLE STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY. COMPLETELY DEAD, NO LIGHTS, POWER, NOTHING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. FIRST TIME HAD ONLY 1,364 MILES. DEALER HAS NO FIX. RECHARGES BATTERY AND RETURNS TO ME. CASE OPENED WITH FORD, THEY WILL NOT BUY BACK VEHICLE. RESOLUTION FROM FORD EACH TIME: BRING BACK TO DEALER EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS FOR BATTERY RECHARGE. TCM MODULE REPLACED. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM.

MOISTURE CAN ENTER THE HVAC SYSTEM AND FREEZE DURING COLD TEMP CAUSING THE BLOWER MOTOR TO FREEZE, LEAVING IT INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT ON A COLD NIGHT. WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFROST DURING COLD TEMPS RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR STARTED NOT ACCELERATING WHEN GAS WAS PUSHED, DELAYED THEN CAUGHT AND JERKED LIKE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD, ALSO THE GAS MILAGE GOT WORSE AFTER OWNING A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. ALMOST HIT BY SEMI-TRUCK GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE! IN TOWN, AT LIGHTS, WOULD JERK WHEN AT A STOP OR AT TAKE OFF, ALMOST CAUSING PEOPLE BEHIND OR FRONT OF ME TO HIT ME. TOOK IT TO ONE LOCAL DEALER, SAID THEY ADJUSTED THE (TCM) TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND IN ABOUT 1000 MILES IT WOULD BE CORRECTED AND WE SHOULD SEE BETTER GAS MILAGE AND NO JERKING OR ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION.. DIDN'T HAPPEN, TOOK TO A DIFFERENT FORD DEALER NEAR US, THEY SAID NO PARTS TO FIX IT. ONE MONTH LATER CALLED THEM BACK ABOUT PART, AND THEY SAID "NO KNOWN FIX FROM FORD AT THIS TIME". THEY SAID WE COULD JUST LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM IF WE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT, THEY WOULD ADD IT TO 3 OTHER ONES OUT BACK!!!. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL DEALER BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY OFFERED NO APOLOGY AND SAID WE COULD TRADE IT ON ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR CARS.. NO THANKS. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD... THOUGHT THEY WERE MUCH BETTER COMPANY. SAFETY APPARENTLY NOT AN ISSUE WITH THEM.. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER ON THE ISSUE, ONLY TO HAVE MY CASE CLOSED WITHIN ONE DAY BECAUSE THEY DEEMED THE CAR "WITHIN WORKING PARAMETERS" AFTER SAYING THEY DISCUSSED IT WITH THE DEALERS WE TOOK IT TO FOR REPAIR. WHEN I ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT, THEY SAID COULDN'T TELL ME BECAUSE IT WAS FORD CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION!. NOW NO ONE AT FORD CORP. WILL RETURN MY CALLS, OR THE DEALER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TOO. LOST ALL CONTACT WITH FORD AT THIS POINT. SEEKING A LAWYER TO SEE OPTIONS ON HOW TO SALVAGE SOME ISSUE THAT WILL HIT MY CREDIT RATING, SINCE I BASICALLY WON'T BE MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT ANYMORE AND GAVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. SHAME ON FORD!!!!!! SELLING CARS THEY KNOW HAVE AN ISSUE....
