2014 FORD FIESTA Complaints

FRONT DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT LATCH,. MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. TO REPEAT, THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AND SWINGS FREELY. THIS OCCURRED AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS.

FROM A DEAD STOP AT 2045 HRS CENTRAL TIME AS. I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ON NORTHLAND AVENUE ON THE WAY TO FLORIDA AVENUE TO MY SONS HOUSE. WHEN I WENT TO TAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO MEADE STREET (LOCATED IN APPLETON WIS) I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MY ENGINE REVED BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT LURCHED SUDDENLY GRABBING POWER THEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I CHECKED TO SEE THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE AND NOT IN ANY OTHER GEAR. AS I PRESSED THE GAS AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION AND CAR STRUGGLED TO ENGAGE WHAT I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WAS THE CLUTCH. FINALLY I THE CAR ENGAGED AND JERKED ME FORWARD. I WAS VERY WORRIED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ! THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW OFF THE LOT!! IT HAS 61,750 MILES ON IT! I'M A 64 YEAR OLD LITTLE OLD LADY WHO TAKES CARE OF HER CAR! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS AND UNCALLED FOR! PLEASE CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION INTO FORDS 'NON-SERVICEABLE' TRANSMISSION! YOU CAN'T EVEN ADD FLUID OR CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I'VE TOLD MY SON AT TIMES AS WELL I'VE SMELLED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS HOT TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE SMELL WAS DISTINCT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A CAR YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER TO GET SERVICE FOR THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT'S SEALED. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS !!

IT JUST STARTED RUNNING RUFF MY FAN WENT OUT FIRST THEN MY RADIO NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPIN AND FEELS LIKE BREAKS ARE GRINDING

CLUTCH PEDAL WON'T RAISE. AT REST WHEN PUSHING IN THE PEDAL IT GOES TO THE FLOOR AND WILL ONLY RAISE ABOUT AN INCH. WHEN DISENGAGING, THE CLUTCH SLIPS. APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER. THIS OCCURED AT ABOUT 66,000 MILES. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND AFTER FEWER THAN 5000 MILES IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN THIRD GEAR, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DISENGAGE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. THE CONSUMER STATED ON A DAILY BASIS, WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED, IT WOULD ENGAGE INTO GEAR WITHOUT RELEASING THE CLUTCH. *JS

CAR JERKS AND WHEN I UNLOCK DOOR ONLY 1 DOOR UNLOCKS AND THAT IS DRIVER'S SIDE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AND EVERY TIME I PUT GAS ACT LIKE DOES WANT TO START UP AGAIN AND THEN ITS TAKES FOREVER JUST TO CATCH UP SPEED

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STARTED TO SURGE, MISFIRE AND THEN FOR NO APPARENTLY REASON THE ENGINE SHUT-OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES IT FIRED BACK UP AND RAN MOMENTARILY AND THEN DIED AGAIN .HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR ANYMORE, UNLESS THEY CAN RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BY THE FORD MOTOR CO.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE LOCK ASSEMBLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR FELL OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR UNLATCHED INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING THE DOOR TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CUTTER FORD LOCATED AT 98-015 KAMEHAMEHA HWY, AIEA, HI 96701, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V177000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

MY RECALL STATES THAT FORD HAS NOT ISSUED INSTRUCTIONS TO STOP DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE UNDER THIS SAFETY. MY BACK DOOR LATCH OPENED WHILE DRIVING WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNDRIVABLE AND NEEDING A TOW, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD A PTSD RESPONSE TO THE INCIDENT AND HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE OF THE STRESS INDUCED ON MY BODY. I ALSO REQUIRED MEDICAL MASSAGES. MY FRONT DOOR HINGE ALSO WAS ABOUT TO BREAK THE SERVICE DEPT INFORMED ME AS WELL WHICH IS NOT ON THIS RECALL. OTHER OWNERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.
