2012 Ford Fiesta complaints

THE PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE.

I HAVE A 2012 FORD FIESTA WHICH HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS OVER THE COURSE OF THE TIME I'VE HAD THE CAR. ON THE THURSDAY BEFORE THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. WE WERE GOING VERY SLOW AND THANK GOODNESS DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. WE HIT A CURB BEHIND US THAT STOPPED THE CAR. I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND IT MOVED FORWARD. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT NEXT MORNING AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE CLUTCH. I'VE DONE MULTIPLE WARRANTY CLAIMS & I'VE HAD ONGOING TRANS/CLUTCH ISSUES THAT FINALLY RESULTED WITH AS REPLACEMENT LAST MONTH. NOW THE CAR IS NO LONGER JERKING AND SLIPPING BUT IT'S SLOWER WITH DECREASED GAS MILEAGE. I'VE HAD A SYNC ISSUE/ RADIO ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND TOOK IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES, IT'S STILL NOT FIXED. RECENTLY THE RADIO/SYNC COMPLETELY FAILS BUT IT'S INTERMITTENT. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE SYNC/RADIO ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT'S NOT WORKING COMPLETELY TO TAKE IT IN. IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TWICE FOR BRAKE ISSUES, (I TOOK IT BACK TWICE IN THE SAME DAY + TRANS REPLACEMENT) THEN AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER. I'M ON THE THIRD TIME TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE SYNC SYSTEM IN THE LAST YEAR, THAT IS STILL NOT FIXED.

THE FUSE BOX IS GETTING MOISTURE CAUSING HEADLIGHTS NOT TO WORK PROPERLY AND NO FUSES OR RELAYS CAN BE CHANGED BECAUSE THEY ARE CORRODED IN THE BOX. CAR LOSES POWER, RADIO CAUGHT FIRE, DOORS LOCK ON THERE OWN OR DON'T LOCK AT ALL, MAJOR MALFUNCTION OF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. 2011 AND 2013 WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. WHY WASN'T 2012? CAR HAS ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AND IT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF.

MONTHS LATER, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO CLOSE THE REAR DOOR. BOB TOMES FORD (950 S CENTRAL EXPY, MCKINNEY, TX 75071, 1-888-485-3971) REPLACED THE PART, BUT IT FAILED A THIRD TIME. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE SAME OEM PART WAS THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND HESITATED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE ENGINE RPMS SUDDENLY REVVED VERY HIGH BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE SHIFTER REMAINED STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BEAMAN FORD (1717 TENNESSEE 46, DICKSON, TN) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAD TO BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE SAME FAILURE THREE YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK LID FAILED TO CLOSE PROPERLY AND THE 'BOOT OPEN' WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PALLOTTA FORD LINCOLN (LOCATED AT 4199 CLEVELAND RD, WOOSTER, OH 44691, (330) 345-6600), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,682.

ON 6/16/19 I WAS DRIVING ON THE I89 IN VERMONT AND BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS SCARED ME AS I HAD NO VISIBILITY ON THE INTERSTATE. MY HIGH BEAMS WERE ABLE TO WORK, AND EVENTUALLY, I TURNED BY LOW BEAMS BACK ON. THEY SEEMED TO WORK. THEY THEN CUT OUT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED OFF AND ON FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE HOME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. TODAY 6/19/19 THEY REPORTED THAT THERE WAS CORROSION IN MY FUSE BOX, AND THEY REPORTED THE CHEAPEST OPTION WAS $500 TO CLEAN THE BOX, AND REPLACE THE PINS. I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD STOP THE CORROSION, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE CORROSION WOULD STOP. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/FORD/FIESTA/HEADLIGHTS-PROBLEMS.PHP SO IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE DRIVING A FORD FIESTA GETS INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE THERE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY STOP WORKING ON THEM.

WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR SHAKES. WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR SHUDDERS AND STALLS. WHEN DRIVING AT A SLOW PLACE (UNDER 30 MPH) THE CAR WILL VIBRATE BRIEFLY.

MY CAR SHUDDERS A LOT WHEN STOPPING ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY OR MERGING OFF THE HIGHWAY' ALSO HAPPENS IN CITY OR SUBURBS IF GOING OVER 40 MPH; , GEAR SLIPS WHEN STATIONERY BEFORE HITTING GAS TO MOVE CAR, SPEED SLOWS DOWN OR HESITATES WHEN HITTING GAS PEDAL, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND NOTHING EVER GOT FIXED. FORD SENT A LETTER STATING THAT I WOULD GET DOUBLE THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION AND I WILL RECEIVE A LETTER STATING THIS, BUT WILL NOT CONFIRM ANYMORE. PROBLEMS OCCURED AFTER I PURCHASED THIS FIESTA IN JUNE 2012 BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY UNTIL THE RECALL CAME OUT AND I TOOK IT IN FOR THE FIRST TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS "TOO LATE" TO GET ANYTHING TO FIX IT OR HAVE IT TAKEN BACK BY FORD BECAUSE I HAD WAITED A YEAR. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE CAR WAS WORKING POORLY! IT WAS BRAND NEW AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE WAY IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS WERE NOT AS NOTICABLE. IT GOT MUCH WORSE AS TIME PASSED. I HAVE REPAIR INVOICES BUT I NEED TO FINE THEM. I WANT MY COMPLAINT FILED NOW SO THAT I AM NOT FORGOTTEN. I HAD A LEMON LAWYER CONTACT ME NAMED TROTT, WHO TOLD ME THAT IF I ACCEPTED A CLAIM HE WOULD PUT IN FOR ME, IT WOULD BE THE BEST DEAL I WOULD GET IN TERMS OF ATTONEMENT. HE SAID HE GOT $8K AND TOOK $3K FOR HIS WORK. I RECEIVED A CHECK FOR $5K. I ASKED MR.TROTT IF I SHOULD GET THE CAR REPAIR WITH THIS MONEY. HE SAID PEOPLE ARE KEEPING THE MONEY AND GETTING RID OF THEIR CARS. I KEPT MY CAR BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER O

DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER REAR DOOR NOT WORKING.

MY 2012 FORD FIESTA WILL RANDOMLY LOSE POWER AND NOT ENGAGE TO SHIFT. THIS HAPPENS SO RANDOMLY, ON SIDE STREETS, MAJOR ROADS, FROM STOP, WHILE MOCING, ANYTIME. THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORST. I TRY TO AVOID HIGHWAYS IF POSSIBLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS OCCUR ONCE ON A HIGHWAY AND IT ALMOST CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I DEFINITELY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DISASTER FROM DAY ONE. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT FORD IS AWARE OF HAVE ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. THE CAR BUCKS AND CARRIES ON ALL THE TIME. WHILE STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT YOU PUSH ON GAS AND IT DOESN'T MOVE THEM ALL THE SUDDEN IT DARTS INTO TRAFFIC. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY. THEN 2 WEEKS AGO ALL THE SUDDEN CAR OVERHEATS AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES DIES CAUSING $2000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. IM TOLD THESE ARE COMMON AND IM LUCKY IT DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. WHAT'S NEXT. FYI, THE LIGHTS STILL DON'T WORK WHICH CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD. WHY IS THIS CAR NOT RECALLED??

RECENTLY MY FIESTA HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND I AM NOT STALLING. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR SWITCHING GEARS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY.

CAR HESITATES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE GEARS. A MESSAGE COMES UP SAYING TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION AND THE OTHER MESSAGE SAYS NEEDS SERVICE NOW. ANOTHER PROBLEM APPEARS AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES IT TENDS TO SPEED UP BEFORE COMING TO A STOP.

TAKATA RECALL FOR MY 2012 FORD FIESTA SE. THERE IS A HESITATION/JUMPING MOTION WHEN ACCELERATING. I WAS TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE RIGHT REAR DOOR AND THE DOOR DIDN'T LATCH/CLOSE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (FAJARDO FORD, PUERTO RICO) AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. DEALER DIDN'T REPAIR THE DOOR. I ATTEMPTED CONTACTING FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON TWO OCCASIONS BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM THEM.

LEFT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH POPPED OPEN WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED ALL THE RECALL DOOR LATCHES. A YEAR LATER THE RIGHT BACK PASSENGER DOOR LATCH DID THE SAME THING. IT WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY THAT WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE. TWO DAYS AGO, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAS POPPED. IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, SO IT IS AN UNEXPECTED OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE COMBINED WITH A RENTAL WHILE MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP. SO NOW, THREE OUT OF FOUR REPLACED RECALL PARTS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. SO IF THE RECALL REPLACEMENTS ARE NOT WORKING, HOW OFTEN AM I GOING TO BE IN THE SHOP WITH UNRELIABLE RECALL REPLACEMENTS?

DOOR LATCHES TO NOT WORK WHEN I WAS DRIVIN MY LEFT DOOR IN THE BACK OPEN WIDE HAD ONE ACCIDENT OF IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND REMAIN SHUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DE PAULA FORD (1101 CENTRAL AVE, ALBANY, NY) AND THE DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED, BUT THE SAME FAILURE RECENTLY OCCURRED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000(STRUCTURE). THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TAKATA RECALL, PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION DO NO SHIFT AS IT SUPPOSED, BAD NOISE BETWEEN SHIFTING

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND HESITATES ALL THE TIME. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUES DUE TO WHEN ACCELERATING TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC IT SHUDDERS AND HESITATES AND WON'T ACCELERATE WHILE DOING THIS. I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS WHILE THE ENGINE DIED IN TRAFFIC BUT I OVERLOOKED IT WORRYING ABOUT PAYING MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED. 2 DAYS AGO, THE CAR COULDN'T REVERSE AND THE NEXT DAY, IT COMPLETE DIED ON ME.

CAR STALLS IT HAS THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM FORD MECHANIC SAID THEY JUST KEEP FIXING THEM THEY ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY NOW NO MORE WARRANTY CAN'T BY A NEW CAR AND I HAVE A CAR THAT WILL DIE OUT GOING UP HILLS OR ON FREEWAY ON CITY STREETS. I LIVE AND TRAVEL IN AND OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO QUIET A BIT. IT SPUTTERS AND SHAKES AND THEN WILL JUST DIE OUT. DID THIS DURING RUSH HOUR IN SILICON VALLEY BYE 101 I WAS ALMOST HIT 3 TIMES AND THE POLICEMAN AS WELL TRYING TO GET ME AND CAR TO SAFETY FORD DOESN'T ANSWER BACK

ELECTRICAL SHORT OF POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 FORD FIESTA, WITH MY CHILD IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE DOOR LATCH FAILED AND THE DOOR SWUNG OPEN. I TRIED CLOSING IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY LATCHED. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOLDING IT SHUT AND STEERING THE CAR, LUCKILY I WAS ONLY A COUPLE MILES FROM HOME. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER AND THEN I CALLED FORDS RECALL DEPARTMENT BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THE CURRENT RECALL 15S16, NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 15V246000, DOES NOT COVER MY VIN, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN THAT FACTORY DURING THE COVERED TIME PERIOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS CRASHED INTO BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN AIR BAG FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 189,213.

I HAVE PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR FOR YEARS. THE OTHER DAY THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE ISSUE ENDED UP BEING IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD, WHICH IS ALLOWING SALT AND SAND TO ENTER THE FUSE BOX WITHOUT ANY FILTRATION SYSTEM OF ANY SORT. THE LOW BEAM RELAY HAD COMPLETELY CORRODED BECAUSE OF PARTICLES GETTING INTO THE FUSE BOX. WE ARE LUCKY IT IS JUST THE LIGHTS SO FAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF THE PRONGS FOR THE RELAY WAS SO CORRODED THAT IT BROKE OFF INSIDE THE PLUG. NOW, BECAUSE OF FORD'S POOR DESIGN OF THIS DEVICE, WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUSE BOX AND EVERYTHING TO WHICH IT IS ATTACHED. THIS IS AT LEAST A $1300 JOB. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT RELAY THAT CONTROLS A MORE ESSENTIAL FUNCTION OF THE CAR BUT THANK GOODNESS WE FOUND IT WHEN IT WAS AFFECTING THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY.

MY FORD FIESTA 2012 WAS PART OF RECALL 15S16 FOR LATCH FAILURE. ON 9/15/2018 MY LEFT REAR LATCH FAILED WHILE DRIVING. FORD IS CLAIMING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL, BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT EITHER THE RECALL WAS NOT PERFORMED AS STATED OR IT WAS FIXED WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS. FORD AT THIS TIME IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND SATISFY THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, IT SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IN ORDER TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TOWED THE FOLLOWING DAY TO AUTOMAX FORD (3301 E CENTRAL TEXAS EXPRESSWAY, KILLEEN, TX 76543) WHERE THE TOTAL CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO OTHER TIMES SINCE JULY OF 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND FILED CASE NUMBER: CAS-15591505. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

WHEN: ON JULY 31ST 2018 DURING DRIVE HOME AFTER DARK ON RURAL WISCONSIN HIGHWAY BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY FAILED IN 2012 FORD FIESTA LEAVING DRIVER NO OPTION BUT TO USE HIGH BEAMS FOR REMAINDER OF DRIVE. FAULT: THE LOSS OF BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A DRIVER, AND ONCOMING DRIVERS ON RURAL HIGHWAYS. CAUSE: DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM; DUE TO RELAY PINS IN FUSE BOX CORRODED OFF DUE TO CORROSION ' HAD TO REPLACE ENGINE FUSE BOX UNDER HOOD BECAUSE THE PIN WAS CORRODED OFF IN THE FUSE BOX AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. ADDITIONAL FUSE RELAYS ALSO SHOWING CORROSION. FORD HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING FOR THE 2011 FORD FIESTAS WHICH IS RELATED TO CORROSION AND LOSS OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A DELAY IN CHANGING GEARS AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLOW TO ENGAGE WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL. RAMEY FORD PRINCETON (498 COURTHOUSE RD, PRINCETON, WV 24739, (304) 425-2128) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED ONE YEAR AGO PER AN UNSPECIFIED MANUFACTURER POWER TRAIN/TRANSMISSION CAMPAIGN AND THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME.

I BOUGHT A 2012 FORD FIESTA .I MADE A CLUTCH THAT WENT OUT TOOK IT TO THE SHOP .THE HALF FIX IT NOW I'M OUT OF WARRANTERY I WILL NEVER BY A FORD AGAIN .....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BECAME AJAR. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SECURELY LATCH THE DOOR.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,800.

THIS CAR HAA TROUBLE GOING THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. IT TAKES VERY LONG TO GAIN SPEED AS WELL AS BREAK AND ALSO JERKS UNCONTROLLABLY.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I OPENED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR TO REMOVE SOMETHING FROM MY BACKSEAT. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR, IT POPPED BACK OPEN AND WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE DOOR LATCH AND SINCE IT HAD BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED PREVIOUSLY, IT WOULD BE FREE. TODAY I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $233 + TAX.

I TOOK MY CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO TAKE ACTION ON RECALL 14M01. THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH UNDER WARRANTY AND RETURNED MY CAR TO ME. A DAY LATER MY CAR FLASHED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHILE I WAS 45 MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME ON THE HIGHWAY. CODES THAT CAME UP WERE ADDRESSED & THE VEHICLES CONDITION WORSENED UNTIL IT WENT FULLY INTO LIMP MODE WHILE RETURNING FROM AN ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE COMPUTER.

TAKATA RECALL, A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR AND SAY ENGINE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW. AND WHEN IT DO APPEAR THE CAR SLOWS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE THROTTLE PEDAL WILL NOT WORK EVEN AFTER YOU HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THIS FORD FIESTA HAS MANY PROBLEMS I HAVE SPEND OVER 1300 DOLLARS THIS CAR HAS MANY SAFETY ISSUES. THE DOORS POPED OPEN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. I CONTACTED FORD AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT CARING SHE STATED IT'S OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY . I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THE DOORS CAME OPEN WITH MY TWO YEAR OLD IN BACK SEAT IN A CAR SEAT COULD HAVE FELL OUT. I ALSO TOLD HER THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND I WOULD LIKE THIS LOOKED INTO. I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY ALL AMERICAN IN FAYETTEVILLE NC.

WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE, THERE IS NO POWER. THE TRANSMISSION THEN KICKS BACK AND IT GOES FLYING OVER 4000 RPMS BEFORE IT WILL SHIFT. WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL RANDOMLY GIVE A SLIGHT KICK AND LOSE POWER, DESPITE NOT INCREASING OR DECREASING PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS, I THEN GOT IT "FIXED" UNDER WARRANTY (TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY) BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM, AND THEY WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS OR EMAILS. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY EITHER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ONLY A YEAR AGO AND THE KBB VALUE HAS ALREADY DROPPED TO LESS THAN WHAT I STILL OWE, PRESUMABLY IN PART DUE TO THE LAWSUIT. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WHAT TO DO NOW. NOT ONLY AM I FINANCIALLY HURTING BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT TRIPS TO THE SHOP AND THE LOSS OF VALUE, MEANING I WILL NEVER GET OUT FROM UNDER THIS CAR, BUT I AM LEGITIMATELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY LIFE, AND FORD DOESN'T CARE. I DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS DEATH TRAP BUT AS IT'S WORTH FAR LESS THAN WHAT I OWE, I CAN'T GET ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE MY FUNDS ARE WRAPPED UP IN THIS ONE.

OK WHEN I GOTTEN THIS CAR I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED 4 TIMES MY DOOR LATCHES ARE BROKEN SO WHEN I DRIVE A DOOR FLYS OPEN WITHOUT ME EVEN KNOWING I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR NOW I HAD ONE ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF MY DOOR UNLOCKING TRYIN TO HOLD IT CLOSE SO I CAN PULL OVER AND I GOTTEN IT FIXED BEFORE FOR ONE DOOR NOW I HAVE ANOTHER DOOR OR THE RIGHT SIDE CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS ALSO WHEN I PRESS ON MY GAS IT STOPS WHEN I'M NOT EVEN IN PARK AND THAT ALSO CAUES A PROBLEM

WE HAVE A 2012 FORD FIESTA. WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR TI SHAKES WHEN IT GOES TO CHANGE GEARS, IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. WE'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP USED TO TELL US IT WAS THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THEY HAVE CLEANED IT AND REPLACED IT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM TO CHECK THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. THEY DID AND REPLACED THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY SAYING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE CAR DROVE DECENT FOR ABOUT A MONTH THEN WE WENT BACK TO THE PROBLEM OF LOSING POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND THEN ACCELERATING TOO FAST AFTER THE LOSS OF POWER. NOW THE CAR WILL REV UP WHEN IN PARK AND CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SHUTTERING PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.
