2011 Ford Fiesta complaints

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the parking lights on the vehicle were defective and failed to operate as needed. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that debris had entered the electrical box located underneath the vehicle in the engine block. The contact stated that there was no secondary cover covering the electrical relays which he believed had caused the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 101,000.

The issue is with the transmission and has been ongoing since we purchased the car in 2013. The transmission stops working without warning. We have had multiple repairs performed only to have issues reappear. Ford has been found guilty of knowing the issues existed before they started selling the cars and sold them anyway. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30689585/ford-settlement-transmission-lawsuit/ I think the Ford Focus and Fiesta with the problematic transmissions need to be pulled from the road. A car just stopping is a danger to the driver and to others. Safety Concern This past Saturday night the car stopped in a dangerous and busy 4 lane, 6 lanes when you include turn lanes, intersection while my daughter was driving the car and that is last straw for me. The intersection her car stopped moving forward has had at least 3-4 deaths because the intersection is so dangerous. What happened was she pulled out to go left after the traffic light turned green and less than halfway through the car engine kept going but the transmission had no power - simply wasn't functioning. She was able to coast the rest of the way across this 4-6 lane intersection, with an island in the middle, and fortunately made it to the shoulder of the road safely. She shut off the car, waited a few minutes, restarted the car, and she was able to limp about 1/4 up the road to a parking lot. At that point she waited about 15 minutes and restarted the car. The car now would not back up at all in rever

When entering the drivers side of my car I went to close the door and the door was not latching. This is the second time that this has happened and when I called Ford Chino Hills. They proceeded to tell me they were not fixing any recalls for at least 3 weeks and that was just to get looked at, and then they said that it could take another 2 weeks to get the part. They did not offer a rental or anything and it put me out of a car because how am I supposed to drive a car when the door doesn’t close. Like I said the first time this happened I had to leave my car with them over night and once again was left with no car.

2011 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING TRANSMISSION RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED AND OVER-HEATED WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH STICKS AT TIMES. *JS

THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND THEN GOES OFF. THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN IN TRAFFIC ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY AND JERKS WHEN TAKING OFF. IT DRAGS UPON TAKE OFF AND YOU CAN HEAR A RATTLING SOUND UNDER CARRIAGE

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE DRIVING A BOAT. IT WAS SHUDDERING AND DRIVING ROUGHLY. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A RECALL THAT I BELIEVE REPROGRAMMED THE TCM, 14M02TSB 16-0129 WAS DONE YESTERDAY. ALTHOUGH I CAN FEEL SOME IMPROVEMENT IN THE 35 MI DRIVE HOME, IT STILL SHUDDERS AND FEELS THE SAME. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MY BOYFRIEND RESEARCHED THROUGH VARIOUS SERVICE BULLETINS AND FOUND 14M01. HE THEN JACKED UP THE CAR, REMOVED THE TIRE TO GET A BETTER LOOK AND SAW THE LEAK. IT DOES NOT LEAK ENOUGH TO LEAVE NOTICEABLE MARKS ON DRIVEWAY BUT IS LEAKING. WHEN I CALLED, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER COVERED AS I AM JUST OUTSIDE OF THIS WARRANTY SINCE I HAVE SLIGHTLY OVER 127797 MILES AND THIS ENDED AT 100,000 OR 10 YEARS. MY CAR IS A 2011. IF I HAD BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED DURING THAT TIME. SINCE THERE WAS NO CODE OR WARNING AND NO VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE LEAKAGE, I WAS UNAWARE. THE DEALER WHO REPROGRAMMED THE TCM WAS UNAWARE, THERE ARE NO CODES RELATING TO THIS ISSUE ON THE CAR. THEY ONLY CODE I NOW HAVE IS AN OXYGEN SENSOR OR SOMETHING CODE THAT SHOWED UP AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TCM. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD EXTEND THIS WARRANTY FOR THESE EFFECTED CARS, THERE ARE MANY WITH THIS PROBLEM, WE HAVE RESEARCHED THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS. I WANT FORD TO COVER THE COSTS OF PARTS, LABOR AND ANY COSTS RELATED TO THE REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM THAT THEY WERE FULLY AWARE OF. I KNOW THEY SAY THE 2 BULLETINS ARE NOT RELATED BUT I FEEL THAT THEY ARE.

TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC TO HAVE O2 SENSORS REPLACED AT TIME OF OIL CHANGE. AUTO SHOP COMPLETED OIL CHANGE AND CHANGED O2 SENSORS, RESET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BUT THEN CAR WOULDN'T START. MECHANIC REASSESSED, FOUND BLOWN FUSES IN FUSE BOX, NOTING DIRT IN FUSE BOX AND CORROSION. CAR WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS AS AUTO SHOP STATED THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR FORD ECU. FORD RAN DETAILED DIAGNOSTICS TO AGAIN FIND THAT DIRT AND CORROSION IN FUSE BOX LED TO MALFUNCTIONING AND CAR NOT STARTING.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AND I KEEP CHANGES THE FUSES. IT LASTS FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN HAPPENS AGAIN. IT'S THE FUSE BOX. IF CANADA CAN HAVE A RECALL ON THIS, BECAUSE YOU NEED HEADLIGHTS TO DRIVE, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY CAN'T THE UNITED STATES RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THEM. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. CANADA CARES MORE ABOUT THERE PEOPLE'S SAFETY THEN THE UNITED STATES. IS THAT RIGHT. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY FEBRUARY 9, 2021.

2011 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BROKEN CLUTCH HOUSING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONSUMER THE CLUTCH HOUSING WAS ON RECALL. THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL PRIOR TO IT EXPIRING. *JS

MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE. IT STARTED LOOSING POWER. SO, I STOPPED AT A STORE. THE CAR TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS TOO HOT TO TRY AGAIN IN 5 MINUTES. SO, I LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER, AND THEIR WAS A FIELD SERVICE ACTION. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD EXPIRED. SO, IT WOULD BE $250 JUST TO HOOK IT UP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR FOR $3000, AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR. I DONT UNDERSTAND THAT IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS, WHY FORD WONT REPAIR THEM IF IT IS THEIR MISTAKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN THE EARLY MORNING, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HER AND SHE STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED ON HER HI-BEAMS. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT WAS FOR THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX. INSIDE THE JUNCTION BOX THERE WAS WATER, SAND AND SILT WHICH CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. HEALEY FORD LINCOLN (2528 ROUTE 17M, GOSHEN, NY 10924, (845) 291-1998) WAS CALLED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER HAD PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FOR THE SAME FAILURE UNDER A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM HOWEVER, DECLINED TO OFFER THE FREE REPAIR A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

TROUBLE WITH DASH LIGHTS, SEAT HEATERS, TRACTION CONTROL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT ALL ON. FUSE BOX COMPLETELY CORRODED EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN CANADIAN RECALL OF FUSE BOXES ON 2011 FIESTAS, I AM IN U.S. $1200 INTO ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE PROBLEM, STILL WILL NEED TO REPLACE FUSE BOX COSTING HUNDREDS MORE.

THE TRANSMISSION HAD A RECALL THEY "FIXED" IT BUT IT'S STILL HAVING A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND JUMPS OUT IN TRAFFIC AND AFFECTED THE MOTOR MOUNTS. ALSO THERE'S A RECALL ON THE DOOR HANDLES WHICH WAS NEVER FIXED.

I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHGATE,THEY SAID THAT FORD MOTOR TOLD THEM TO RESET THE SOFTWARE IN THE CAR,THEY DID AND GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN.THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A CLUTCH PROBLEM AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON. WHAT THEY DIDN'T TELL ME WAS THAT NHTSA AND FORD MOTOR HAD A RECALL TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER/TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT SEAL WHICH HAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR FREE,THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME OVER $2000 DOLLARS TO HAVE FIX. THE FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER IS 14M01 AND THE FSA TITTLE IS TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JANUARY 2018. I DON'T UNDERSTAND NHTSA AND FORD MOTOR CO. HAVE HAD OVER 600 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER/CLUTCH/SEAL. TELL ME DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE SERIOULY HURT OR KILLED FOR THE PROBLEM IN THE 2011 FORD FIESTA TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED FOR FREE BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY?

ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF LAST YEAR I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING,SO I STOPPED DRIVING IT. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY FOR THE SECOND TIME AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHGATE,THEY SAID THAT FORD MOTOR TOLD THEM TO RESET THE SOFTWARE IN THE CAR,THEY DID AND GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN.THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A CLUTCH PROBLEM AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON. WHAT THEY DIDN'T TELL ME WAS THAT NHTSA AND FORD MOTOR HAD A RECALL TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER/TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT SEAL WHICH HAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR FREE,THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME OVER $2000 DOLLARS TO HAVE FIX. THE FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER IS 14M01 AND THE FSA TITTLE IS TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JANUARY 2018 FROM DICK GENTHE CHEVROLET AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT SAFELY SINCE THE MIDDLE OF 2019. UNTIL NOW,I TRIED TO GET THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK,AND THEY WOULD NOT. I WOULD LIKE FOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEIR DEALERSHIP TO FIX MY CAR FOR FREE OR GIVE ME A 2018 IN IT'S PLACE WITH A MINIMUM PAYMENT OF 158.12 WHICH IS WHAT I'M STILL PAYING FOR THE 2011 FORD FIESTA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN ADDRESSING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR WHEN I'M DRIVING.

I HAVE HAD THE TCM ON THIS VEHICLE REPLACED TWICE AFTER TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. IT CAME ON A THIRD TIME AND THE ISSUE STILL CAUSES TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE, HOWEVER THIS TIME IT IS MY DUAL CLUTCH. SAME SYMPTOMS IN THE VEHICLE EVERY TIME. WITH NO WARNING, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER, FAIL TO CHANGE GEARS, SHUTTER FORWARD AFTER STOPPING, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. TWO DAYS AGO DRIVING UPHILL, MY VEHICLE, WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, STARTED GOING IN REVERSE, DOWN THE HILL. I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH FORD THAT IS TAKING FOREVER TO SETTLE. I HAVE TRIED TO GET FORD TO REPLACE MY CLUTCH, BUT THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY LIKE THE TCM IS NOW, EVEN THOUGH IT CAUSES THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I CAN PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED MYSELF, BUT IT CAN GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME AGAIN, WITH NO WARNING. FORD DOES NOT BELIEVE THESE ISSUES ARE SAFETY ISSUES. THEY ARE. THESE CARS DO THESE THINGS SUDDENLY. AS I AM REACHING OUT TO FORD ABOUT THIS, THEY DO HOWEVER INFORM ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY DOOR LATCHES. THEY CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT NOT THE TRANSMISSION? UNBELIEVABLE.

I NOTOICE BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT FROM MUFFLER AND ENGINE. THE AC QUITE BLOWING COLD AIR, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPART AND WHERE THE AC LINES IN BACK FIRE WALL ON THE BACK. IS WHERE FLAMES WHERE NOTICE

ON AUGUST 5 I FELL ASLEEP AND RAN INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK STOPPED AT A LIGHT. MY KNEE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT THE STEERING WHEEL BAG DID NOT AND THE SHOULDER BELT DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD BRUISING MY STERNUM AND CAUSING SURROUNDING MUSCLE INFLAMMATION THAT IS STILL SORE TODAY.

I WAS HEADING OUT IN REVERSE THE CAR FELT SLOW WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS IT TOOK A WHILE TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THE WHEEL FELT STIFF AND SHAKY. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO TURN, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO. IT FELT LIKE THE GAS WAS SUFFOCATING IT WASN'T MOVING AND THE WHEEL FELT STIFF AND HARD TO TURN IT TOOK A AWHILE TO MOVE. I GOT SCARED AND DROVE BACK HOME. I TOOK IT TO FORD LEFT IT THERE TO GET CHECKED. I ASKED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE LIGHT HAD TURNED ON. I WAS TOLD THEY RESET THE MODULE AND THAT THEY SENT ME AN ESTIMATE TO MY EMAIL IF I WANTED TO DO THE REPAIRS THAT THEY RECOMMENDED. I ASKED IF IT WAS OK TO DRIVE THE CAR THEY SAID YES, THAT I WOULD FEEL IT SHUDDER, BUT THAT IT WAS OK TO GO. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT TO WORK, BUT IT STILL TAKES A WHILE WHEN I PRESS THE GAS.

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

THE GEAR DISPAY WAS FLASHING AGAIN P TO D, OVER AND OVER. I TOWED MY CR BACK TO CAL WORTHINGTON FORD. AFTER HAVING MY CAR OVER A MONTH, ON 05/09/14 IT WAS READY. THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH SUPPOSEDLY BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAPERWORK SAYING SO. ON 05/13/14, THE ACCELERATION SHLOWED AND THE GEAR DISPLAY SWITCHING FROM D, P, R, L OVER AND OVER. I TOWED IT BACK TO CAL WORTHINGTON AND THEY HAD MY CAR UNTIL 05/21/14. SELF TEST=P06B8, TESTED CHARGING SYSTEM AND BATT= BATT PASS END CHARGES AT 14.3V CONSTANT, NO UPDATES AVAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE DEALER, MOSES AUTO GROUP (1433 MACCORKLE AVE, ST ALBANS, WV 25177, (304) 722-4900) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO LATCH AND WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE SECURELY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR WON'T START DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN BATTERY JUNCTION BOX. TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND STOPS ENGAGING WHEN DRIVING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX. CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX. ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC, ALMOST WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STALLED. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER CUSTOMER PROGRAM 17B16, STATING: REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, AN OPENING BETWEEN THE BJB AND ITS COVER COULD ALLOW WATER AND DEBRIS CONTAINING ROAD DE-ICING SALTS TO ENTER INTO THE BJB. THIS COULD RESULT IN CORROSION INSIDE THE BJB FOR VEHICLES OPERATED EXTENSIVELY IN US CORROSION STATES. CORROSION IN THE BJB MAY CAUSE A VARIETY OF SYMPTOMS INCLUDING LOSS OF FUNCTION OF EXTERIOR LIGHTS, VEHICLE STALL, VEHICLE NO START, OR LOSS OF FUNCTION OF INTERIOR LIGHTS. I CALLED AND WAS GIVEN CASE NUMBER CAS-27331475 AND THEY TOLD ME MY VIN WAS NOT AFFECTED, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS. PLEASE HELP MAKE THIS RIGHT.

MY CAR TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY, THE INFO SCREEN DISPLAYS TRANSMISSION TROUBLES ,I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR ON DRIVE AND GOES TO 10 MPH AND DOESN'T CHANGE GEARS.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN BRONX AND THEY TOLD I HAVE A CLUTCH PROBLEM, PLUS TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THEY DONT COVER THE RECALL, ACCORDING THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THE DAMAGE IS INTERNAL. BUT THE RECALL FOR FORD FIESTA 2011 EXISTING BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION FAIL. CAN YOU TELL ME FOR SURE WHY THEY DON'T APPROVE AND IF IS A COMPANY MISTAKE THEY SHOULD BUY YOUR CAR OR TO REPLACE IT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY FORD LINCOLN (3533 N VERMILION ST, DANVILLE, IL 61832) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE PAST TWO DAYS MY CAR HAS BEEN ACTING UP SERIOUSLY, THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO IN REVERSE AT ALL, THE FAN WON'T WORK.THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE CAR. WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE FUSE BOX THE CAR STARTS WORKING FINE. THE FAN SMOKES LIKE NO OTHER SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE RELAY OUT. THE CAR ALSO DELAYS WHEN GEARS ARE CHANGING. *TR

THE DOOR HANDLES ARE VERY FLIMZY AN WEAK WHEN PULLED TO OPEN DOORS N SO FAR BOTH PASSENGER SIDES HAVE BROKE OFF. I'LL HAVE TO GET A PICTURE AN SEND IT AFTER. THIS HAPPENED TO PREVIOUS OWNER AN I HAD TO RIG HANDLES SO I DON'T LOSE THEM GOING DOWN ROAD. *TR

FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE WITH TCM / SUSPECTED TO BE RELATED TO RECALL ON FUSE BOX. ELECTRICAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN FUSE BOX AND TCM ISN'T WORKING. *TR

RECENTLY MY DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AS WELL AS MY TAIL LIGHTS. UPON CHECKING THE FUSE BOX LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD, I FOUND IT FILLED WITH SAND AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIALS. FURTHERMORE, ALL OF THE FUSES WERE CORRODED AND WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THEM, THEY BROKE, THUS I WAS UNABLE TO REPLACE THEM. IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS EQUIPMENT AS THE BOX DOES NOT PROPERLY SEAL EVEN THOUGH IT IS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. AFTER RESEARCHING FURTHER, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2011 FORD FIESTA OWNERS AND THAT THE REPAIR FOR THIS IS VERY COSTLY. BECAUSE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, IT WOULD SEEM THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS DESIGN FLAW AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE AFTER DARK. FURTHERMORE, I AM CONVINCED THAT OTHER FUSES WILL SOON FAIL AND THEN THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE USEFUL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IN ADDITION, I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ENGINE STOPPAGES WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHEN IDLING IN TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR AND I SUSPECT THIS IS ALSO RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL FUSE BOX ISSUE. WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND HELP PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. I'VE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF WHAT THE FUSE BOX LOOKED LIKE THE FIRST TIME I EVER OPENED IT. *TR

WORK ORDER WITH DETAILS IS INCLUDED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOFFMAN FORD (5200 JONESTOWN RD, HARRISBURG, PA 17112) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HIT/RAN OVER A POTHOLE EARLIER THIS MONTH AND EXPERIENCED SEVERAL OCCURANCES OF EXCESSIVE BRAKE TRAVEL OR SOFT BRAKES IMMEDIATELY AFTER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE CAR, ON A CITY STREET. IN AUGUST 2019, I RAN OVER THE EDGE OF A MANHOLE COVER IN A CITY STREET, THAT WAS PAVED IN ALL AROUND , EXCEPT FOR THIS EDGE CORNER THAT WAS LOWER THAN THE REST OF THE PAVING. THAT INSTANCE BEGAN THE 'SOFT BRAKE' EXPERIENCES. I TOOK TO THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPT. THE SAME WEEK, WAS TOLD THAT THE ACTUAL BRAKES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I OBSERVED THE SAME THING HAPPENING AGAIN, THE NEXT WK. BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPT.. THIS TIME, IT WAS THOUGHT BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR, THAT THE TIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. 3 NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED , I HAD PURCHASED A. WEEK BEFORE, SO I KEPT THAT ONE, HAVING THE MECHANIC PLACE THIS NEW ONE ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. I THOUGHT THAT AFTER BRINGING MY CAR IN 2X FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE SOFT BRAKE CONDITION WAS RESOLVED. ALL WAS GOOD, FROM AUG 2019 UNTIL I RAN OVER THE POTHOLE EARLY DEC 2019, WITH THE REPEAT SOFT BRAKE INCIDENT. EXPENSES FOR THE BRAKE SERVICE WAS $400.00 (ALTHOUGH THE PADS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I JUST HAD BRAKE SERVICE LESS THAN 2 YRS. BEFORE, ONLY HAVING DRIVEN 3000 OR A BIT OVER MILES DURING THIS TIME. THE TIRES, THOUGH REPLACED, WERE BENEFICIAL, BUT DID NOT STOP THE CONCERNING ISSUE. TODAY I AM AT THE DEALER SVCE DEPT AGAIN. I WAS HERE LAST MONDAY, 12-23-19, FOR DIAGNOSIS FOR THE 3RD TIME OF THE SOFT BRAKE SITUATION EARLY THIS MONTH,

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC BUT I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL BETWEEN GEARS AS WELL AS WHEN I NEED TO SLOW DOWN. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF A CAR IN FRONT OF ME BRAKING UNEXPECTEDLY AND I MUST PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND IT CONTINUES REVVING AT A HIGH SPEED SO I THROW IT IN NEUTRAL. I COULD RUN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME UNLESS I SLAM VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE OR PUT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR AUTOMATICALLY EITHER. ALSO, I MUST PUMP THE BRAKE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO BEFORE THE CAR WILL START.

DOOR FROM THE DRIVER SEAT SIDE WON'T WORK BUT ALL THE REST DOES

CAR SHUDDERS EXCESSIVELY ON ACCELERATION. WILL ALSO LURCH FORWARD DURING ACCELERATION. GRINDING NOISES WHEN CAR IS ON LOW SPEED (1-20 MPH). REAR TAILLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING.
