2013 FORD FIESTA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATES DAILY. MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL LIST. IT ILLUMINATES WHETHER ITS MOVING OR STATIONARY.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DRIVING 10 MILES OR SO THERE IS A CRUNCH NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING. I HAVE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THERE ISN'T A PART AVAILABLE FOR THE PROBLEM. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST 13 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND HESITATED WHILE SHIFTING INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE RE-FLASHED. THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FREQUENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE CAR HESITATES AND THEN LUNGES FORWARD, AND SHUTTERS. WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL OR TURNING CORNERS THE CAR SHUTTERS. WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR MAKES NOISES DUE TO THE SHIFT FORKS. WHEN AT A STOP WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND IN THE DRIVE POSITION, OR WHEN STOPPED ON A FLAT SURFACE THE CAR ROLLS IN REVERSE. AS MY SON WAS WALKING BEHIND THE CAR WHILE IT WAS IN PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE CAR ROLLED BACK AND HIT MY SON.

AT 18,250 MILES, REAR DOOR LATCH FAILED. DOOR NEEDED TO BE TIED CLOSED IN ORDER TO TRAVEL TO DEALERSHIP ON 09/12/14 FOR REPAIR. ON 9/12/15 FRONT DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED PER RECALL. OTHER DOORS INSPECTED. ON 1/20/15 THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LATCH FAILED ON THE CAR WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO GET HOME, SHE HAD TO REACH ACROSS THE PASSENGER SEAT AND HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. I CAN NOT FOR MY LIFE THINK OF A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A YOUNG DRIVER. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR THE LATCH TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE ARE REPAIR ORDERS FROM THE INCIDENCES. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED TO HAVE THEM SENT TO YOU.

I WAS UNAWARE ABOUT THE FORD FIESTAS HAVING A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS. MY CAR HESITATES , JERKS AND HARD TO ACCELERATE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO SCHOOL AND TO WORK AND ALSO IT HAS BEEN AT FORD SERVICE CENTER MANY TIMES FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT'S JUST HOW FORD MADE THE CAR AND JUST ACCELERATE MORE

WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR IN A LOW GEAR (USUALLY STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR LEAVING A PARKING LOT) IT WILL FLASH SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS AND THE COMPUTER CONSOLE WILL SAY "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION, SERVICE NOW." THEN THE CAR WILL STOP RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL ENTIRELY. I CAN USUALLY GET IT TO RESPOND AGAIN BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THIS WILL WORK, BUT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT STALLS OUT AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) BACK TO FORD FOR THIS SAME ISSUE 5 TIMES NOW, AND EACH TIME THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. EACH TIME, AFTER SOME TIME (SHORTEST: 2 DAYS, LONGEST: FOUR MONTHS) THE SAME STALLING OUT PRESENTS IN THE SAME WAY. I'VE BROKEN DOWN/STALLED OUT IN PARKING LOTS, ON SURFACE STREETS, AND ON MAJOR FREEWAYS: EACH TIME IN TRAFFIC. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED IN AUGUST OF 2015, THEN 12/11/15, 12/15/15, 12/18/15 AND 1/14/15.
