I THE CAR SHOOK REALLY BAD, WOULD NOT GO UP A HILL OR GOING FROM STOP TO START THE CAR WOULD STALL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED AND NOTHING WAS DONE UNTIL LAST YEAR. THE CAR SHOOK AND WAS STILL STALLING. THIS YEAR THERE WAS AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND THEY REMOVED THE ENTIRE COMPUTER FROM THE CAR. NOW THERE IS NO ISSUE BUT I WISH THEY WOULD FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE AS OF TODAY I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V461000 (EQUIPMENT); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO PROVIDE THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. ...UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF; UPDATED 4/5/18*JB *TR

REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH TO STAY CLOSED CAUSING DOOR TO SWING OPEN AT ANY TIME.

AFTER DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL SEVERAL TIMES, THE SHIFT CHANGE BECAME ROUGH, AND THE CAR OFTEN SHUDDERED WHEN ACCELERATING AT A LOW SPEED LIKE A POORLY DRIVEN STICK SHIFT VEHICLE. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED ONCE, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10,000 MILES AFTER THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED.

2013 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES, IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

THE CAR SHUDDERS AND SPITS AT TAKE OFF. SOMETIMES STALLS BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE WHEN I FIRST GIVE IT GAS.

THE DOOR LATCH OF THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT LATCH/CLOSE THE BACK SEAT DOOR. THE LATCH WAS DETERMINED TO UNCORRECTABLE AND THE DOOR WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY CLOSE. HOUSTON'S FORD HELFMAN PROVIDED INFORMATION THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS RECALL, BUT THE CURRENT RECALL WAS NOT RELEASED PUBLICLY. WHEN CONTACTING HOUSTON'S HELFMAN FORD DEALERSHIP THEY PROVED TO BE RUDE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE QUALITY INFORMATION ON CORRECTING THEIR MANUFACTURE'S MALFUNCTIONING PART. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THEIR SHOP, HOWEVER THE STATUS OF RESOLVING THE ISSUE WAS UNKNOWN BY THE END OF THE DAY. A FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS MADE THEN ABOUT A HALF HOUR LATER THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND APOLOGIZED FOR HIS TEAM'S UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDENESS. ADDITIONALLY, HE STATED HE WILL ESCALATE THE ISSUE TO GET IT RESOLVED OR BEGIN THE INSPECTION PROCESS. THE POINT OF THIS COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT WE WERE FORTUNATE TO DISCOVER THIS MALFUNCTION IN THE DRIVE WAY. IF WE WERE DRIVING WITH PASSENGERS - YOUNG CHILDREN, CANINES, OR ELDERLY - IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THEN THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGIC FAILURE.
