2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SLIPS GEAR AS YOU ACCELERATE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR FROM A STOP, BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. DEALER STATES THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 32,212 MILES.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN REAR DOOR SWUNG OPEN. REAR DOOR IS FAILING TO CLOSE PROPERLY AS THE DOOR LATCH WON'T HINGE.

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

I BOUGHT MY 2014 FORD FIESTA IN DECEMBER 2013 AND SHORTLY AFTER THIS THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS BOUGHT FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS RESOLVED FOR SOME TIME, BUT THE ISSUE IS NOW RESURFACING. THE FIESTA TENDS TO SHUDDER AND HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND HAS MADE IT DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS OR WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP TO ENTER A HIGHWAY.

THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE CAR TO REV UP WHILE DRIVING OR TO JERK AS IF THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO STALL. *TR

VEHICLE HAS 4 DOORS. I WAS PARKED AT MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL IN THE CITY STREET. ITS THE RIGHT BACK DOOR, MY DAUGHTER OPENED IT, WHEN SHE TRIED TO CLOSE IT IT WOULDN'T CLOSE, SO I TRIED TO CLOSE IT BUT IT WOULDN'T, SO I CHECKED THE MECHANISM ON THE DOOR AND IT WAS LOOSE. I HAD TO TIE THE DOOR TO THE SEAT. NO MATTER WHAT I DID I COULDENT CLOSE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BECAME AJAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SECURELY CLOSE THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR. ALL DOORS WERE LOCKED AT THE TIME. THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER CLOSE PROPERLY. THE INCIDENT NEARLY LED TO AN ACCIDENT AND DRIVER HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TRY AND CLOSE THE DOOR. APPARENTLY THE CURRENT RECALL DOESN'T COVER OUR SPECIFIC 2014 FORD FIESTA EVEN THOUGH MANY 2014 FIESTAS ARE COVERED BY THE RECALL.

TRANSMISSION MODULE FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME. LURCHES, ENGINE REVS, NO POWER, FAILS TO GO. FORD PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FOR 30 DAYS OR MORE.
