2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

DOOR LATCHES FOR PASSENGER FRONT, AND BOTH BACK DOORS HAVE FAILED. THEY HAVE CAME OPEN WHILE DRIVING, I HAD TO TIE THE BACK PASSENGER AND FRONT PASSENGER TOGETHER WITH THE SEAT BELT. THE LATCHES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN. I HAD YOUNG CHILDREN RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I TOOK TO FORD ON 7/22/2016, AND THEY WANTED 800+ TO FIX THE LATCHES EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THEM. THEY ALSO LET ME DRIVE MY VEHICLE AWAY IN THIS CONDITION, KNOWING IT IS UNSAFE. I ONLY HAVE 38,264 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE.

SHUDDERING UPON TURNING RIGHT, LEFT, TAKE OFF DURING ACCELRATION. IT WAS IN MOTION, CHARLESTON SC. WAS AFRAID TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. HAS BEEN INTO DEALERSHIP FOR FIX, BUT ONLY IS TEMPORARY. SHUTTER AND STALLS ALWAYS COME BACK (PROBLEM SINCE 2014)

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND STALLS WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC (LOTS OF START AND STOP)

TRACTION CONTROL RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF. DEALERSHIP "UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM" TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT

LEFT BLINKER STOPPED WORKING, OUTSIDE SIGNAL WOULD NOT LIGHT UP AND INTERIOR ARROW BLINKING FAST AND LOUD. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BLINKER WOULD WORK. BLINKER WOULD ALTERNATE BETWEEN WORKING AND NOT; DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FIX ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND SIGNAL WORKED AGAIN.

LEFT BLINKER STOPPED WORKING, OUTSIDE SIGNAL WILL NOT LIGHT UP AND INSIDE BLINKING ARROW BLINKING VERY FAST AND LOUD. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BLINK WORKS AGAIN, WILL SWITCH FROM WORKING TO NOT. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T "REPLICATE" ISSUE, SO NOTHING WAS FIXED.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A RESIDENTIAL STREET. SMALL BOX, ABOUT 3-5 POUNDS, IN BACK SEAT BUMPED DOOR WHILE TURNING, CAUSING IT TO SWING OPEN. PULLED OVER TO CLOSE DOOR, EXCEPT LATCH WOULD NOT "HOOK" DOOR WOULD NOT STAY SHUT. I HAD TO SECURE DOOR INSIDE CAR, THROUGH BACKSEAT, TO TIED DOOR TO KEEP SHUT.

REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHEN I WAS MID-LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE DOOR. LATCH DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING, DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE/STAY CLOSED. DOOR HAD TO BE TIED AND BUNGEE-CORDED SHUT INSIDE THE CAR (THROUGH BACKSEAT). WARNING ALERT CONTINUES GOING OFF, LETTING ME KNOW REAR DOOR IS STILL OPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE TURNING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TWICE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
