2011 Ford Fiesta complaints

FUSE BOX IS FILLED WITH DIRT. APPARENTLY IT'S AN ISSUE ON 2011 FIESTA. I WAS NOT INFORMED BY FORD ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY HAD SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THAT: TSB 17B16. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE CAR SHUTS DOWN OCCASIONALLY ON IDLE, WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. VERY SUDDEN, "CLEAN" SHUTDOWNS. NO ROUGH IDLE. QUITE OFTEN I WOULD NOT REALIZE THAT THE ENGINE IS DOWN UNTIL I PRESS ACCELERATOR AND THERE IS NO ACTION. IT IS OUT OF THE BLUE. DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC!

THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWN SHIFTED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED HAD I NOT MOVED ASIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE IT STEMS FROM. I WAS A DIE HARD FORD OWNER UNTIL FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON TIME, AND NOT JUST OIL CHANGES.

PASSENGER BACK DOOR WILL NOT LATCH/CLOSE . I WAS NOT DRIVING, I WAS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING OUT THE BACK SEAT, WENT TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND NOTICED IT WOULD NOT CLOSE ANYMORE THE LATCH IS BROKEN, I GOT THE CAR LAST YEAR SO I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY RECALLS. MY DOOR WON'T STAY CLOSE MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE

TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING. TOOK TO DEALER SAID EXTENDED TO TCM WOULD BE COVERED BUT NOT MALFUNCTIONING. CLUTCH AND INTERNAL ASSEMBLY IS FAILING.CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND DEALER SUGGESTED ME TO CALL FORD. THIS IS RIDUCULOUS. CAR HAS ACTUALLY BEEN PARKED FOR 3 MONTHS BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE. AFAID I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT IF I DRIVE THIS CAR AND I WILL HOLD FORD FULLY RESPONSIBLE IF THIS HAPPENS. I AM CONSIDERING LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY

I LEASED AND THEN PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW 8 YEARS AGO. AT AROUND 3,000 MILES, I BEGAN HAVING BRAKING ISSUES. I WOULD GO TO BREAK AND THE PEDAL WOULD ALMOST TOUCH THE FLOOR BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT SO I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT TOOK ME 3 SEPARATE VISITS TO GET IT PROPERLY DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BY FORD. TURNED OUT, THE VEHICLE HAD A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW ONE INSTALLED. NOW, 7 YEARS AND ABOUT 84K MILES LATER, I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. I AM UNABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE CAR, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE WELL. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT STATED THE MASTER CYLINDER ONCE AGAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT STATED IT IS INCREDIBLE RARE FOR THIS TO FAIL IN ANY VEHICLE. THEY WERE BOTH SURPRISED THAT IT HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE AFTER SO FEW MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS BEEN REOCCURRING ON THE VEHICLE. I CALLED FORD DIRECTLY AND THEY STATED UNTIL THE PART IS OFFICIALLY RECALLED, THEY ARE OFFERING NOT CONCESSION OR WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE PART. THIS PART RARELY FAILS IN VEHICLES AND LAST TYPICALLY AT LEAST 125K MILES. I WILL NOW HAVE HAD TWO IN LESS THAN 87K MILES. IT IS NOT A REPAIR YOU CAN AVOID FIXING EITHER AS IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SAFELY STOP ONCE THE ISSUE BEGINS.

1) DOOR LATCHES ARE FAULTY. ANY DOOR CAN OPEN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. ALSO, DOOR LATCH SENSORS ARE FAULTY AND CAUSE ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON IF IT THINKS A DOOR IS OPEN. HAPPENS WITHIN 1ST MILE DRIVEN EVERY TIME SINCE 80K MILES. 2) IN SNOW, THE PIECE OF BODY PLASTIC IN FRONT OF THE FRONT TIRES CAN GET CAUGHT AND DRAGGED UNDERNEATH THE FRONT TIRES. 3) ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS: FUSE BOX RUSTS, PRONGS BREAK OFF IN FUSE BOX. SOMETIMES PUSHING CLUTCH IN WOULD CAUSE LIGHTS TO DIM OR SPEAKER STATIC (MANUAL TRANSMISSION). PROBLEMATIC 12V (ALWAYS HOT) ROUTINELY BROKE 12V DEVICES. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIX THIS AT LAST WARRANTY MAINTENANCE. 4) SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS WERE UNABLE TO SOLVE OR FIND THE CAUSE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: BRAKE ROTOR USUALLY CAUSES HOWLING SOUND UNDER 30MPH AFTER A FEW MILES, (STARTED AROUND 50,000 MILES) AND CAR SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED & IDLING (RARE, STARTED AROUND 70,000 MILES). ALSO, MANUAL TRANSMISSION LEVER GETS TOO STICKY TO MOVE WITHOUT EXTREME FORCE UNPREDICTABLY, (STARTED AROUND 25,0000 MILES). EVERY TIME WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION FLUID LOOKS FINE. 5) HIGH PITCHED WHIRRING SOUND AND LOSS OF POWER WITH AC OR DEFROSTER, WORSE AS TIME WENT ON 6) CAR WAS SOLD BECAUSE COST TO REPAIR FAULTY DOOR SENSORS LEADING TO HEADLIGHTS NEVER TURNING OFF, THEREBY CAUSING BATTERY TO DRAIN BELOW 12V REGULARLY, EXCEEDED THE CAR'S VALUE. CAR WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION WITH THIS ISSUE & NEEDED FREQUENT JUMP STARTS. 7) EXTREME DISTRACTION: "SYNC" INTERFACE WILL CUT OFF S

EXCESSIVE "SHUDDERING" IN DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP. THIS IS A WIDELY-KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT, BUT FORD HAS NOT DONE ENOUGH TO HELP AFFECTED CUSTOMERS. EVERY FORD TECHNICIAN OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT'S A DESIGN FLAW, AND THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE CAR CAN STOP DEAD IN ITS TRACKS ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CLUTCH FAILS. A RECALL IS WARRANTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT CHANGE GEARS WHEN STARTED. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KENNY ROSS FORD SOUTH (412-881-0001, LOCATED AT 3200 LIBRARY RD, CASTLE SHANNON, PA 15234) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

EVEN THOUGH FORD STATES THE RECALL ON THE DOOR LATCHES WERE DONE, THE LATCHES ARE MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN AND THE DOORS POP OPEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAM PACKS FIVE START FORD LOCATED AT 144 N STEMMONS FWY, LEWISVILLE, TX 75067, (469)470-4900 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CAR IS JERKING WHEN PUT IN GEAR TO DRIVE.

FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED ISSUES AT THE TIME OF ACCELERATION AFTER BEING STATIONARY. DUE TO THIS CONDITION, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CALLED BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER, FORD MOTOR COMPANY, FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE VARIOUS TIMES. HOWEVER, AFTER A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, THE VEHICLE STARTS EXPERIENCING THE SAME JERKY ACCELERATION ISSUE AGAIN. DURING THE TIME I USED THE VEHICLE WHILE LIVING IN FLORIDA, THIS CONDITION WAS NOT WORRISOME AS ORLANDO, FL IS A FLAT TERRAIN. HOWEVER, SINCE MOVING TO THE CITY OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA I ENCOUNTER MANY INTERSECTIONS LOCATED IN HILLS, FOR EXAMPLE THE INTERSECTION OF BEECH HAVEN TRAIL AND CUMBERLAND PKWY SE; WHEN AT THE TIME OF ACCELERATION BEFORE TURNING, THE VEHICLE JERKS AND DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE, PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK, SINCE I CAN EASILY BE CRASHED INTO BY THE INCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE DELAY. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR YEARS, I HAVE NOT BEEN SATISFIED SINCE THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN PRESENT FROM THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AFTER VARIOUS VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP. WITH THIS NOTE I RECORD THE STATE OF THE VEHICLE, LIKE I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, PUTS MY LIFE AT RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN AND INTERIOR LIGHTING WERE INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE FUSE BOX. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CHECK FOR RECALLS. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" OUT OF THE BLUE, MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE ANYMORE. I TOOK IT TO A PLACE TO HAVE IT PUT ON THE MACHINE, AND THE REPORT CAME BACK THAT IT WAS MY CLUTCH FORK AND CLUTCH POSITION B, THAT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT AND CHECKED. WHEN I STARTED CALLING AROUND TO DIFFERENT CAR SHOPS, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL MY EXACT SAME 2011 FORD FIESTA AND THAT THE RECALL WAS DEALING WITH THE SAME TROUBLES I'M HAVING. MY CAR ONLY HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT.

HEAD LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING, HAD BEEN USING CAR EARLIER IN THE NIGHT THEN HAD TO RUN OUT AGAIN & NO HEAD LIGHTS, HAD FUSE CHECKED STATES FUSE BOX CORRODED, SHORTING OUT FUSES, WHILE CHECKING THEM CAR WOULD NO LONGER START, FINALLY DID GET TO WORK AFTER CHECKING ALL FUSES. SEEN ARTICLE FROM CANADA ABOUT SAME PROBLEM BUT UNITES STATES DOESN'T SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINATELY A HAZARD IF IT CAN AFFECT THE CAR ACTUALLY STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILMES FORD (108 N. VETERANS DR, ALTUS, OK) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I HAVE TWO ISSUES ON MY CAR. THE FIRST AND MOST CONCERNING ONE TO ME IS JITTERING IN THE DRIVETRAIN UP FRONT WHEN TAKING OFF. FEELS LIKE ITS SLIPPING IN BETWEEN GEARS. WHILE DKING THIS IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL COMPONENTS ROLLING CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AS IF THERE WERE SOME SLOP ALLOWING THEM TO FLOAT AROUND SOME. THATS ALL AS FAR AS DRIVETRAIN. MY SECOND ISSUE IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AREA ON CERTAIN BUMPS FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE A STRUTT OR SHOCK HAS WEAR ON IT AND ALLOWING IT TO MAKE FREQUENT THUMPING NOISES WHILE GOING OVER THESE BUMPS. QUITE OFTEN WITH WORN ROADS WHERE I RESIDE. OTHER THAN THESE ISSUES ITS BEEN A REALLY GOOD GAS SAVING CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THE CAR SHAKES AND SHUTTERS. ROUGH WHEN SHIFTING. THE SPEED WILL QUICKLY CHANGE SOMETIMES HAS PROBLEMS STARTING. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. FORD DEALERSHIP NEAR WHERE I LIVE SAYS IT IS THE CLUTCH AND WANTS $1500 JUST TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG. THEY HIGHLY SUGGEST REPLACING WHOLE TRANSMISSION $5700 BECAUSE IF THEY FIX ONE PART AND ANOTHER BREAKS IT WILL COST $1500 JUST TO TAKE APART AGAIN. CRAZY BECAUSE IT HAS ONLY 91000 MILES AND IS ONLY WORTH $4500. HELP I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY FOR FIXING THIS UNSAFE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT BULBS AND REPLACED THE FUSE. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE FUSE BOX WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

MY 2011 FORD FIESTA, SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO HAVING THE A/C OR HEAT ON, THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 90,000 MILES AND THE CAR BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED AND IS REPORTEDLY IN GOOD CONDITION. IT OCCURS WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN TO BRAKE OR PULLING OFF BUT BRAKE SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO STALL AND SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND FUEL INJECTION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CITRUS MOTORS FORD (1375 S WOODRUFF WAY, ONTARIO, CA 91761, (855) 451-7126) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHUTTERING, STALLING AND JERKING IRRATICLY WHILE IN MOTION, ON THE STREET/ HIGHWAY SOMETIMES ROLLS BACKWARD AND FORWARD ON REVERSE HAVE NOTIFIED MANUFACTURE THEY WON'T HELP PUT IN SHOP REPLACED TRANSMISSION COST 1700 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS BUT WORSE NOW WHEN TURNING JERKS AND SHAKES AND IS LEAKING TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AGAIN NO MECHANIC WILL DO THE WORK PLUS NOW MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD REPAIRS. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ATTEMPT ON REPAIRING THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON THE ROAD CAN CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION. FORD AND OTHER MECHANICS DON'T WANT TO DO THE WORK TO REPAIR THE CAR PLUS ALL MODELS TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY REGARDLESS IF IT GETS REPLACED. CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!

DOOR LATCH DOES NOT WORK, MAKING THE DOOR FOR THIS VEHICLE UNABLE TO CLOSE. PRIMARY FUNCTIONS SUCH AS CLOSING THE DOOR WON'T BE ABLE TO BE DONE AS IT DOES NOT CLOSE AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE MAINTENANCE WARNING AND MAJOR ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT IN DIFFERENT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ELDER FORD OF TAMPA (9560 N FLORIDA AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612, (813) 498-0779) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CLUTCH WARRANTY EXPIRED AFTER SEVEN YEARS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,800.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. FORD HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT EXPIRES AT 100000 MILES. ITS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH FORD FIESTA AND FOCUS DURING A FEW YEARS THAT FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED. CAR WAS PARKED AND AS I STARTED DRIVING IT WAS JERKY AND GEARS WOULD NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. PROBLEM IS NOT CONSTANT. IT COMES AND GOES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH OF THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN TSB NUMBER: 17B16. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE FUSE BLOCK FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 109,000.

THE DEALER (SANTA MONICA FORD LINCOLN, 1230 SANTA MONICA BLVD, SANTA MONICA, CA 90404, (310) 451-1588) STATED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THE SAME THING AS THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE A 2011 FORD FIESTA. IT IS A MANUAL. I'M NOT STALLING IT, BUT WHEN I'M DRIVING- WHETHER I'M STOPPED OR ACTUALLY MOVING (EVEN AT 45 + MPH) IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE RPMS SOMETIMES FALL 2-300 BELOW RANDOMLY BUT WILL COME BACK AND KEEP GOING. HOWEVER, WHEN THEY FALL AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THE VEHICLE CAN'T FIGURE OUT THAT THE RPMS SHOULD BE HIGHER, IT SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. WHEN IT ACTUALLY SHUTS OFF I HAVE NO WARNING. HERE IS THE LINK I FOUND ON INFORMATION ABOUT THE FORD FOCUS RECALLS: HTTPS://WWW.WFTV.COM/NEWS/NATIONAL-NEWS/AP-TOP-NEWS/FORD-RECALLS-NEARLY-15M-FOCUSES-BECAUSE-ENGINES-CAN-STALL/859721918 LUCKILY I HAVE A MANUAL AND I CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR EVEN WHEN I'M GOING DOWN CITY STREETS OR BUSY INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DIAGNOSE IT FOR MONTHS. IN A 10 MINUTE DRIVE THIS CAN HAPPEN AS MANY AS 3-4 TIMES. THERE'S NO LINK TO WHY IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS. SHIFTING INTO ANOTHER GEAR DOESN'T EFFECT IT. I HAVE NOTICED AFTER I GET FUEL IT TENDS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN, BUT I'M UNSURE IF THAT'S CORRELATION OR CAUSATION. SOMETIMES AFTER I GET FUEL I CAN'T EVEN GET BACK ONTO THE MAIN ROAD WITH OUT THE CAR DYING COMPLETELY. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF IT WILL ALMOST ALWAYS TURN BACK ON JUST FINE. I RECENTLY GOT MY BATTERY REPLACED THINKING THAT THAT WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY SOLVED THE ISSUE BUT IT HAS PERSISTED.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 10/13/2018. I WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BACK OF MY 2011 FORD FIESTA. MY CAR SPUN AROUND AND FLIPPED AND ROLLED. DURING THIS TIME THE AIR BAGS DID NOT OPEN. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I WAS STRUCK GOING 60 -65 MPH. THE CAR THAT STRUCK ME WAS GOING MUCH FASTER, 80-85 MPH. I AM WONDERING WHY MY AIR BAGS DID NOT OPEN. ARE THERE ANY OTHER REPORTS LIKE MINE? MY CAR LANDED UPRIGHT IN A GRASSY MUDDY FIELD. I AM STILL BEING SEEN FOR MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND WAITING TO HEAR IF MY CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS OR REPAIRABLE.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2011 FORD FIESTA AND I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE BACK OF THE CAR. THE CAR SLAMMED INTO ME AND CAUSED MY CAR TO SPIN AND THEN THE CAR FLIPPED AND ROLLED. THE CAR LANDED UPRIGHT INTO A MUDDY, GRASSY FIELD. THE AIR-BAGS DID NOT OPEN UPON IMPACT. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 60 MPH. THE CAR THAT HIT ME MUST HAVE BEEN GOING 85 MPH.

ISSUES INVOLVING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IN A CURVE, MY DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR SWUNG OPEN. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE, AND A FEDERAL RECALL WAS ISSUED. DUE TO DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH, DOORS FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE LATCH WAS REPLACE ONCE UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE, NOW, HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, AND THE DOOR WON'T REMAIN CLOSED, ONCE THE DEFECTIVE LATCH FAILS. BOTH APPEL FORD, AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY, REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR, FOR THIS KNOWN RECALL ISSUE. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NUMBER IS 15S16.

2011 FORD FIESTA CONTINUES TO HAVE LATCH FAILURES AFTER LATCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S16/NHTSA RECALL 15V-246 FORD REFUSES TO COVER COST OF REPAIR OF LATCH SINCE THEIR RECORDS SHOW THAT IT IS REPAIRED. FIRST DOOR LATCH FAILURE IN OCT. 2015 TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPLACED ALL 4 DOOR LATCHES. NEXT DOOR LATCH FAILURE IN JUNE 2016. REPLACED UNDER RECALL. ANOTHER LATCH FAILURE IN FEBRUARY 2017. AGAIN REPLACED UNDER RECALL. WE HAVE HAD A FOURTH LATCH FAILURE AUG 2018. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURE AND DEFECT WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION. FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO COVER IT.

TAKATA RECALL , I HAVE A 2011 FORD FIESTA AND THE ENGINE GOT MESSED UP SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY FIXED IT I PAID 2,500 TO GET IT FIXED AND WHEN I'M DRIVING MY WHEELS GO ALL CRAZY AND ALL THIS SENSORS TURN ON AND MY DOOR OPEN LAST TIME WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD AND MY 6 YEAR OLD INSIDE AND NOW IT WON'T CLOSE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY AUTO & TRUCK CENTER (103 E HILL ST, THORP, WI 54771) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX HAD CORRODED ALL THE HEADLIGHT WIRING, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I HAD COMPLAINED OF A GRINDING OR CLUNKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. SOUND AND SHUDDER TO STEERING WHEEL SEEMED LIKE IT WAS BETWEEN STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING GEAR. I LOOKED UP ONLINE ARTICLES AND IT MENTIONED STEERING BY WIRE AND OTHER MISDIRECTION. SEEMED TO ME TO BE SOMETHING LIKE A UNIVERSAL JOINT; BUT THIS IS NOT MY EDUCATED DIAGNOSIS, JUST A THOUGHT. DEALER SERVICE WRITERS CONTINUED TO SAY SOMETHING AKIN TO "YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO AND IT'S NORMAL FOR THAT VEHICLE/MODEL/ETC". ON 6/11/18, WHEN I GO TO PICK UP VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM, [WHICH HAD RECALLS AND CONTINUES TO CAUSE PROBLEMS THAT ARE FIXED "UNDER WARRANTEE" SEE FORD "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAMS 14M01, 14M02" AND FORD "SOFTWARE UPDATE PROGRAM 15B22] I AM TOLD I NEED TO HAVE RECOMMENDED WORK DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEN GRODY FORD (6211 BEACH BLVD, BUENA PARK, CA 90621) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,587.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE MAKING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HESITATION AND INDEPENDENT SHIFTING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOVATCH FORD (423 W CATAWISSA ST, NESQUEHONING, PA), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT OF A 'SILENT RECALL' FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,582. *TT

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2018. 3 OR SO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED(FORTUNATELY THIS FELL UNDER WARRANTY SO IT WAS NO COST TO ME) AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I DID NOT CHECK TO SEE IF THE AC WAS IN WORKING ORDER SINCE IT WAS WINTER. NOW THAT IT'S GOTTEN WARMER, I FIND THAT IT DOES NOT WORK. THE UNIT WAS CHARGED AND THE COMPRESSOR WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. AFTER 3 HOURS OF DIAGNOSTICS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WATER IN THE FUSE BOX. THE ENTIRETY OF THE FUSE BOX WAS HEAVILY CORRODED. ALL OF THE FUSES HAD TO BE REPLACED, AS WELL AS FOAM SEALS PLACED, AND DIELECTRIC GREASE PLACED ON ALL THE FUSES TO PROTECT THEM FROM FUTURE DAMAGE. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE AC, AS WELL AS A PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE JERKING UPON ACCELERATION. I SUSPECT THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE REASON FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE AS WELL. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY FORD BUT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PLACED YET, SO ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE PAID FOR BY ME. IF THE REPAIR HAD BEEN DELAYED ANY LONGER, I BELIEVE THAT MORE ELECTRICAL/FUSE ISSUES WOULD HAVE SURFACED.

FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF, USUALLY WHEN IDLING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER COMES ON. MULTIPLE MECHANICS SAY THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTICS SINCE THE SERVICE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. WE'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL AND FORD DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS.

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A CAR FROM THEM. IT IS IN MY HUSBANDS NAME. MY HUSBAND IS NOT FROM THIS COUNTRY AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THINGS MEAN IN THEIR CONTEXT. THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO US AS IS WITH A BRANDED TITLE. WE ACCEPTED THAT. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS SOLD TO US WITH BROKEN PARTS AND THE REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE TO IT WERE NOT DONE TO STANDARD OEM SPECIFICATIONS. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO US WITH A BROKEN FRONT AXEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HAD THIS COMPLETELY BROKEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE WERE IN A WRECK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. THE CAR IS NOT FIXED AT THIS TIME AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT DUE TO THE PAPERS THAT WERE SIGNED BY MY HUSBAND THAT OF WHICH I AM SURE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS SIGNING BEING SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER BOUGHT A CAR BEFORE. I DO T FEEL THAT THIS CAR LOT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SELL THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION EVEN AS IS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY RIGHTS HERE. THANK YOU!

"ENGINE MALFUNCTION" DISPLAYED ON SCREEN ONCE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THIS NOTIFICATION GOES AWAY BUT CAME BACK 50 MILES LATER WHILE DRIVING. CONTACTED FORD ONLINE AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT THE ISSUE IS. CONTACTING DEALER IN THE MORNING, JUST WANTED TO START DOCUMENTING THIS, THERE ARE SEVERAL POST FROM FIESTA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND DEALERSHIP NOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED OR RESOLVED THE ISSUE.

I'VE ONLY OWNED MY FIESTA FOR 2 YEARS AND NOW MY CAR WON'T MOVE WHEN I AM IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AS I STEP ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE. BEFORE THIS, MY CAR WOULD JERK FORWARD WHEN I WOULD GO TO ACCELERATE AND ACT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD BEFORE TO GET THE RECALLS FIXED BECAUSE MY PASSENGER DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEY FIXED THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH RECALL BUT NOW I'M HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN.
