2013 Ford Fiesta complaints

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while coming to a stop, the vehicle shuddered and hesitated before stalling. The transmission failure message was displayed. Additionally, on several occasions, the vehicle would not immediately respond after shifting to reverse(R).

The manufacturer was notified but no assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

This happened back in NOV. 2016. I seen the the recall from Ford on 2.9 million cars. Although my make and model is not specifically named in the recall, it is exactly what happened to me. I went to eat at a diner and pulled in to the parking space. I put the car in park, and took my foot off the brake. When I did so, my car jumped forward on to the sidewalk and crashed into the building. This caused both myself and my mother who was 82 at the time to be thrown forward toward the dash and front windshield. It was necessary to call the EMS, Fire, and Ambulance to inspect the structure and tend to me and my mom.There was not any lights or warning when this happened. It was my first time experiencing this from the car. We had the car taken to the Body shop to repair the damages, however there was never a mechanical checks done on the vehicle (we would not have suspected the need to do that).

Several unknown dealers were made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired.

The contact's girlfriend owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the headlights were inoperable. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that there was corrosion on both headlight relays after opening the fuse box. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with headlight relay corrosion. The headlight relays needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA.

In my 2013 Fiesta, the driver's side seatbelt will no longer retract back in place properly- and while driving it would not retract properly, usually staying loose. The passenger side seatbelt would not fit snug around the passenger either. Both front seatbelts would not restrain anyone in the event of braking hard. I took it in for repair to Fred Bean's Ford in Exton, PA. It was unsafe to drive the car because both the driver and passenger would fly forward when the brakes were pushed hard- no restraining at all from either seatbelt. The dealership will charge me over $800 to install a new part called a pretensioner in both seatbelts. I will save my receipt.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle would not accelerate.

The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake calipers had seized onto the rotors. The contact stated that the brake calipers, brake pads, brake lines, and the rotors were replaced; however, the failure reoccurred intermittently while driving. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the ABS assembly needed to be replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that he would be responsible for the cost of the repair since the VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The contact also stated that the front passenger’s door inadvertently opened while driving. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V331000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The manufacturer was notified of the failures and referred the contact to NHTSA. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while his wife was driving uphill at 5 MPH, the transmission inadvertently lost power and the vehicle rolled back downhill.

My transmission light came on and the car began to shutter, would stay at a consistent speed even when I wasn't touching the gas pedal, and the tachometer was fluctuating up and down when I was not touching the gas pedal. I had a passenger in the car, and we both felt unsafe with how the car was acting. I took the car into an auto shop to look at the transmission fluid in case that was the issue, but they said it was fine and that I should have a diagnostic test done on the transmission to see if it needs to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while driving at night the low-beam headlights would turn off and on and eventually remained permanently inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the headlight relay was faulty due to excessive corrosion. The relay was replaced, and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,000.

The car suddenly couldn't move in reverse gear or any other forward gear except 1st gear. It is definitely very risky especially if you were on the highway, car cannot move faster than 10 mph. The check engine light was also on. Dealer said it needs a TCM replacement but the parts can take months to get. It is supposed to be a very well-known issue as ford covers this under the TCM extended warranty. Now I'm left in nowhere, stuck at home without a car and Ford doesn't provide any resolution for me to commute or move around.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss motive power and stalled. Occasionally while driving, the transmission erroneously shifted into neutral and the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the shift control module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. The VIN was not available.

As I was driving on the highway, my car lost power as if it wasn't in gear anymore. Fortunately, I was in a side lane and was able to coast to the side of the road safely; I doubt I would be as lucky if I was in a middle lane. That being said, the side of the road is still dangerous. Shifting the gear selector did nothing to give me power. I put the vehicle in park and turned it off. I waited a few seconds and tried to turn it back on. It wouldn't start. I tried several more times. I then waited a few minutes and tried to start it again, this time with the car starting. I was able to get to work and drive without any issues. After work, however, my car failed to start and had to be towed. There were zero warning lights or messages displayed during this event.
