2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

TRANSMISSIONS IS FAULTY. CAR SHAKES, SHUDDERS, AND HESITATES DURING SHIFT CHANGE AS WELL AS BRAKING. FORD IS AWARE OF NATIONWIDE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REPLACING PART WITH SAME FAULTY PART.

STEERING WHEEL BECAME STUCK WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING ALARM TURNED ON. THEN IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. I BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. PARTS OF THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WERE REPLACED. BUT MY LIFE WAS AT RISK WHILE DRIVING WITH A STUCK STEERING WHEEL.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2014 FORD FIESTA HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF. IT SOMETIMES GETS STUCK IN A HIGH OR LOW GEAR AND WON'T SHIFT. IT SOMETIMES WON'T ENGAGE AND WILL ROLL WHEN SITTING ON A GRADE. IT GRINDS AND MAKES RATTLING NOISES AT ALL SPEEDS, WORSE AT SHIFT POINTS. UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC WITH THE HESITATION. HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER VEHICLES WHEN IT DISENGAGES OR WON'T ENGAGE AS IT SHOULD. TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING ON A GRADE ON BUSY INTERSTATE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. ASTORG FORD IN PARKERSBURG WV,WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW , WORKED ON IT AND SAID THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY EXPENSES. NEVER GOT REIMBURSED. RECENTLY TOOK CAR BACK TO ASTORG FOR ONGOING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WAS TOLD BY JAMES SCIENCE, SERVICE MANAGER, THAT THEIR COMPUTER SHOWED IT TO BE IN SPECS AND THAT SOMEHOW THE WAY I WAS DRIVING WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS?? FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT HAS NO FIX FOR THIS FAULTY ,UNSAFE TRANSMISSION. FORD VEHICLES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE THE INEVITABLE INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING DESIGN.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN SEP 2015. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE CAR, I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD STALL/SHAKE/JOLT BETWEEN 20-30 MPH. IT GETS TO THE POINT WERE THE JUST DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE CONCER FOR SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE DRIVE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A LEMON THAT NOBODY WANTS, AND NOW IM STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CRAP CAR.

MY CAR HAS HAD A SHIMMY/SHAKING AT 20-30 MPH. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE COMPUTER NEEDING RESET NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR, MONTHS LATER, WENT IN FOR A NEW CLUTCH AND THEN IT STARTED TO CUT OUT AT 30 MPH AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. I WAS TOLD 3 DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MIGHT BE WRONG. THE CAR CUT OUT GOING UP STATE ST. IN TOWN GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. CARS BEEPING AND GOING AROUND ME. WAS SCAREY. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAS BEEN THERE SINCE NOVEMBER 27, 2015. I HAVE NO CAR AND NO OPTIONS SINCE CAR IS A YEAR OLD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 FORD FIESTA FEBRUARY 14TH, 2014. GREAT CAR, GREAT MPG, ECT... I STARTED HAVING A JERKING MOTION WHENEVER I ACCELERATED ABOUT 3 MONTHS INTO OWNING MY CAR. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO GET THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND CLUTCH FIXED 4 TIMES ALREADY AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. PENSKE FORD KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS "WITHIN FACTORY LIMITS" AND THE CLUTCH WAS BACKORDERED AND THAT I "DIDN'T NEED IT ANYMORE". I RETURN MY CAR TO SERVICE ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO BE TOLD THAT I REALLY NEED A CLUTCH AND HAVE FOR SOME TIME! AGAIN, CLUTCH IS BACKORDERED WITH NO ETA. MY CAR NOW IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL WHEN I AM MERGING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND IT IS NOW A SAFETY CONCERN. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING MONTHLY ON. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEY'VE LOST A CUSTOMER AND WILL BE CONFRONTED WITH MANY LAW SUITS ON THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT ANYONE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL FEEL THE SAME WAY. THANKS FOR CARING ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS SAFETY FORD...

TAKATA RECALL I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FIESTA AUTOMATIC AT A FORD DEALERSHIP IN ELIZABETHTON TN, THE SALESMAN TOOK ME FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 19,000 MILES ON IT WITH ONE OWNER.... BUT NOW I RELEASE WHY THE OWNER TRADED THE CAR IN, AFTER YOU DRIVE IT FOR A FEW HOURS THE TRANSMISSION REALLY ACTS UP.... I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM THE REAR TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING IT, CAUSE IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR THE CAR SHAKES LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS FALLING APART, AND WILL NOT TAKE OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DOING THAT. SO WITH THIS CAR YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS COMING FOR A LONG WAYS BEFORE YOU PULL OUT, CAUSE IF YOU THINK YOU CAN PULL OUT IN A HURRY FORGET IT CAUSE YOUR SHAKE ALL OVER IN THIS CAR, AND SHUDDER BEFORE IT ENGAGES TO TAKE OFF.... A VERY DANGEROUS CAR THAT SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN RELEASED BY FORD TO SALE TO THE PUBLIC.... THIS CAR AND ANY LIKE IT THAT FORD HAS PUT OUT TO SALE SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND MADE TO PUT A REAL TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, CAUSE NOW I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR CAUSE OF HOW IT ACTS UP..

ON 12/31/2015 WHILE TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE ON A BUSY CROWDED HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH, ALL OF A SUDDEN POOF THEY STOPPED WORKING. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (MIZZELL FORD-WAYNESBORO, GA) ON 1/04/2016 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ONE OF THE WIRES HAD COME LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED FROM THE HARNESS THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS. THEY REPAIRED THE WIRE AND RELOCATED THE HARNESS. MY CONCERN IS THIS BEING AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO REALIZE IMMEDIATELY WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WAS IN A SPOT WHERE I COULD ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER WINDOW WHILE BEING SOAKED TO PULL SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY. SOME OTHERS THAT THIS HAS OR WILL HAPPEN TO MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE RESULTING IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR REVIEWING MY CONCERNS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL : THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE MAKES MY CAR FEEL UNSAFE. AT RANDOM AND QUITE OFTEN WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WILL TREMBLE AND SHAKE WHICH DISABLES ME FROM DRIVING AT THE CORRECT SPEED. MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT SPEED UP CORRECTLY WITH THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS WITH TURNING, WITH OUT TURNING, WITH SPEEDING UP, FROM STOP GOING INTO MOTION, AND IT INCLUDES BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AND AM TAKING IT BACK AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW, AND FEELS LIKE IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE NOR CAN TOLERATE THESE ISSUES.
