2014 Ford Fiesta complaints

FRONT & REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NO LONGER LATCH. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR. I AM SURE THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCKS WILL FAIL SOON. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW 7/29/2016 ---. CAMELBACK FORD IN PHOENIX ARIZONA. LUCKILY I NOTICED IT WHEN I GOT BACK FROM THE SUPERMARKET TODAY. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED IN MY YARD. I WILL GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. MY SON TIED THE DOORS CLOSED. I DO NOT HAVE TO GO ON THE FREEWAY TO GET TO CAMELBACK FORD.

PURCHASED CAR IN JUNE 2014 AND IN SEPTEMBER 2014 I BEGAN SEEING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE RECALL EVERY TIME I DID A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT TOOK IT IN EVERY TIME THE REPORT CAME BACK, EVERY TIME THE FORD PLACE I BOUGHT IT SAID THEY COULD DO NONTHING TO HELP IN EARLY MARCH THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY QUIT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED ONLY TO HAVE THE FORD PLACE TELL ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE CAR WAS BARELY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND SO I DID AND THEY SAID THAT I COULD KEEP BRINGING THE CAR BACK BUT FORD WOULD NOT LET THE FIX THE MODULE DUE TO WHATEVER. THEY DID EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 36K TO 60 K WHICH LEADS ME TO THIS POINT I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 MORE TIMES EACH TIME I HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR AND IT NEVER GETS FIXED THE MILAGE IS AT 59 K NOW AND I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER IN ANOTHER TOWN TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND I CAME BACK TO WORK AND DID ANOTHER VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT AND IT IS STILL SHOWING AS A FACTORY RECALL I WILL UPLOAD THE REPORT TO YOU. ALSO SO THE CAR HAS HAD TO HAVE A NEW FAN PUT ON IT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR OVERHEATING I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THIS WORK DONE THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME MORE PAIN THAN I CAN DEAL WITH. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE THE CAR AND AM UPSIDE DOWN I HAVE ONLY THIS VEHICLE AND MUST WORK AND HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH HORRIBLE LUCK WITH A NEW CAR THIS CAR IS THE MOST I HAVE EVER SPENT ALMOST $17000. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING. WHEN THE CAR BROKE DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DO NOTHING I

THE REAR PASSANGER DOOR FLUNG OPEN WHILE WE WERE GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY. THIS IS USUALLY WHERE MY SON SITS BUT HR HAPPENED TO SIT ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT DAY. MY WIFE HELD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE WE GOT IT HOME. IT WAS THE WEEKEND SO WE WRAPPED THE SEAT BELT AROUND THE HANDLE AND LATCHED (BUCKLED) IT TO GET IT TO THE DEALER MONDAY MORNING. IT WAS TERRIFYING. TURNS OUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 2 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE END OF THE RECALL DATES BUT IS CLEARLY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED FORD AND THEY STATED TO CONTACT YOU, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY GAVE #CAS-10138364 AS A CASE NUMBER AND #15S16 AS A RECALL NUMBER TO GIVE TO YOU.

DOOR LATCHES FOR PASSENGER FRONT, AND BOTH BACK DOORS HAVE FAILED. THEY HAVE CAME OPEN WHILE DRIVING, I HAD TO TIE THE BACK PASSENGER AND FRONT PASSENGER TOGETHER WITH THE SEAT BELT. THE LATCHES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN. I HAD YOUNG CHILDREN RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I TOOK TO FORD ON 7/22/2016, AND THEY WANTED 800+ TO FIX THE LATCHES EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THEM. THEY ALSO LET ME DRIVE MY VEHICLE AWAY IN THIS CONDITION, KNOWING IT IS UNSAFE. I ONLY HAVE 38,264 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE.

REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHEN I WAS MID-LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE DOOR.

WARNING ALERT CONTINUES GOING OFF, LETTING ME KNOW REAR DOOR IS STILL OPEN.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A RESIDENTIAL STREET. SMALL BOX, ABOUT 3-5 POUNDS, IN BACK SEAT BUMPED DOOR WHILE TURNING, CAUSING IT TO SWING OPEN. PULLED OVER TO CLOSE DOOR, EXCEPT LATCH WOULD NOT "HOOK" DOOR WOULD NOT STAY SHUT. I HAD TO SECURE DOOR INSIDE CAR, THROUGH BACKSEAT, TO TIED DOOR TO KEEP SHUT.

LEFT BLINKER STOPPED WORKING, OUTSIDE SIGNAL WILL NOT LIGHT UP AND INSIDE BLINKING ARROW BLINKING VERY FAST AND LOUD. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BLINK WORKS AGAIN, WILL SWITCH FROM WORKING TO NOT. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T "REPLICATE" ISSUE, SO NOTHING WAS FIXED.

LEFT BLINKER STOPPED WORKING, OUTSIDE SIGNAL WOULD NOT LIGHT UP AND INTERIOR ARROW BLINKING FAST AND LOUD. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN, BLINKER WOULD WORK. BLINKER WOULD ALTERNATE BETWEEN WORKING AND NOT; DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FIX ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND SIGNAL WORKED AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL, I PURCHASE THIS CAR JUNE 3, 2016 AND I NOTICE THAT THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM EITHER THE FRONT OR THE BACK WHEEL THERE IS A ROARING SOUND WHEN THE WHEELS IS TURNING. I LOOKED AT THE CAR FAX AND IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CAR LOT AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I TRY TO TAKE OFF THERE IS A ROARING SOUND AND IT HESITATE OR SOMETIMES IT WON'T I'M AFRAID THAT THIS CAR WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING.

HI, RECENTLY I BOUGHT A 14 FORD FIESTA AND AT FIRST I LOVED IT. BUT NOW IM ALWAYS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. IT HAS 40,000 MILES AND THE TRAMISSION IS MESSING UP. IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE SOMTIMES. SOMTIMES IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHICH IS TERRIYING. WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR JERKS AND STUDDERS ITS EMBARASSING AND ALSO SCARY. IVE SIGNED MULTIPLE PETITIONS ON THE SUBJECT AND IM READY FOR THE RECALL. PLEASEEEEEEEEE HELP US FORD FIESTA/FOCUS OWNERS! THIS IS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FORD DOESNT SEEM TO THINK SO. CAR ALSO DOESNT START PROPERLY ACCELERATING TILL 30+ MPH. MAKE FORD RECALL ALL FORD FIESTA/FOCUS CARS FROM 2011 TO PRESENT! YOU WILL SAVE LIVES.

BACK PASSANGER DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. CALLED FORD AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MATTER WITH MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED AND THEY WANT OVER 500.00 TO FIX. ON TOP OF THIS MY CAR TRIES TO STALL EVERYTIME I GO TO EXCELERATE FROM A STOP AND ALSO WHEN IT GOES FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEARS. I WAS TOLD WHEN PURCHASED THAT IT WAS ME NOT HITTING THE GAS HARD ENOUGH, HOWEVER I DO NOT FIND THIS IS THE CASE

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS IS A FAIRLY REGULAR PROBLEM THAT CAN INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF AN ACCIDENT...I HAVE HAD TWO VERY CLOSE CALLS DUE TO MY INABILITY TO ACCELERATE THROUGH A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A "COMMON" ISSUE WITH THIS 6 SPEED, DUAL CLUTCH, AUTO TRANNY. UNACCEPTABLE.

INSIDE DOOR HANDLES BREAK OFF

INSIDE DOOR HANDLES BROKE OFF

MY MOTHER IN LAW AND I BOTH OWN A FORD FIESTA AND A FORD FOCUS.. MINE BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND HERS USED BUT GENTLY USED AND WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THEM. WE HAVE BOTH TRIED BRINGING THEM INTO FORD MANY TIMES TO GET FIXED AND THEY BOTH TELL US IT'S THE COMPUTERS.. THAT THEY NEED TO BE RESET. EVERY TIME THEY RESET THE COMPUTERS AND WE CONTINUALLY HAVE TO TAKE THEM BACK IN.. EVEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT LIGHTS UP, ALL THEY DO IS RESET THE COMPUTERS. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY FIESTA IN, IT WAS STILL SHAKING WHEN I DROVE IT TO CHECK ON IT. THE MAN AT FORD TOLD ME THAT THEY ALL DO THAT AND IT'S NORMAL. A FEW DAYS LATER, I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK IN BECAUSE IT STALLED. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED, WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, IT REVERSED AND WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD. WE TOOK IT TO FORD, THEY RESET IT AND BLAMED IT ON THE COMPUTERS. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT LIGHTED UP AND IT STALLED ON MY HUSBAND. I NEED A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY KEEP SENDING US HOME WITHOUT FIXING IT. WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD WHILE DECELERATING AND ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE REGAINED SPEED VERY SLOWLY AND THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH LOCATED FAILURE CODES AT THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND THE GEAR CLUTCH. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE GEAR CLUTCH WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

MY CAR ONLY HAS 21,000+ MILES ON IT. MY TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS, HIGH PITCH SEQUEL, SURGING, HESITATING, NOT SHIFTING (UP OR DOWN), BUCKING, WOULD NOT START. THESE ACTIONS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS (LOW, MEDIUM AND FREEWAY), AT FULL STOPS, GOING UPHILL/DOWNHILL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED. WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE MADE LOUD NOISES, SHOOK VIOLENTLY, JUMPED, AND LUNGED FORWARD.

TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY 2014, SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER, SHAKE AND JERK WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR SIMPLY SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE COMPUTER "LEARNING HOW I DRIVE". I GAVE IT SOME TIME AND EVEN TRAVELED CROSS COUNTRY FROM AZ TO NC AND HAD PROBLEMS THE WHOLE WAY. IN 2015, I FINALLY HAD IT WITH HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS BECOMING TO DRIVE AND TOOK IT IN TO COMPLAIN AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO A LEAKING CLUTCH WHICH THEY REPLACED IN A FEW DAYS. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO OCCUR AGAIN AND I TOOK IT IN TO FORD FOR TESTING AGAIN. THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CLUTCH AND IT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE MONTHS TO GET THE NEW CLUTCH IN. IT IS NOW MARCH 2016 AND TODAY, AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVE WITH VEHICLES ALL AROUND, THE DASHBOARD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A NOTIFICATION THAT SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE SERVICED NOW. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE NEAREST FORD WITH HAZARDS LIGHTS ON AS THE VEHICLE COULD NOT MAINTAIN ITS SPEED. I AM TIRED OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFT BEGAN TO SHIFT WITHOUT WARNING INTO VARIOUS GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000. UPDATED 05/04/16*LJ *TR

CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD EXACTLY, TRANSMISSION NO LONGER WORKING, ONLY 20,000 MILES ON CAR. WILL ACCELERATE ON OWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, WILL GRIND, CRANK AND CRUNCH WHEN SHIFTING GEARS ALL THE WHILE JOLTING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. HAVE BEEN JOLTED INTO A CROSSWALK WHEN PRESSING ON THE BREAKS DUE TO THE CAR DOWNSHIFTING. IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION.

I PURCHASED A 2014 FIESTA WITH 17K MILES IN JANUARY 2016. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP LONGER THAN I HAVE OWNED IT. 2 WEEKS FOR THEM TO REPROGRAM THE TCM, REPLACE A FAULTY SEATBELT, AND REPLACE BLOWN SPEAKERS. NO LOANER. NOW THE CLUTCHES HAVE FAILED. THEY PUT ME IN A LOANER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND NOW WANT ME TO RETURN THE LOANER AND DRIVE MY CAR WITH NO CLUTCH WHILE THEY WAIT FOR PARTS. I HAVE REFUSED TO RETURN THE LOANER UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED. I'VE ESCALTED IT ALL THE WAY UP TO CORPORATE AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME OR GET BACK TO ME. EVERY CAR PAYMENT I HAVE MADE HAS BEEN WHEN I DO NOT HAVE THE CAR TO DRIVE. I'M GETTING REALLY FRUSTRATED. 20 DAYS IN SERVICE NOW. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A BROKEN CLUTCH. IT ACCELERATES ERRATICALLY AND WILL NOT GO UPHILL WITHOUT SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS BUT FORD IS TOO CHEAP TO PAY FOR A LOANER AND MY SAFETY IS OF NO CONCERN TO THEM.

THE CAR IS HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUE. YOU NEED TO PRESS HEAVY ON THE GAS FOR IT TO MOVE FROM STOP POSITION OR ON A SLIGHT SLOPE. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT TIMES WILL JERK WHEN YOU TRY TO SPEED UP ON THE HIGHWAY TO MERGE LANES. THE RPM AT TIMES WILL JUMP. THE ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. TODAY THE CAR WOULD NOT GO UP A SLOPE. THE STARTED TO ROLL BACK. THIS IS A REAL ISSUE WHEN THERE IS SNOW. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEAL SHIP 2 TIMES NOW. LAST TIME I TOOK IT THEY NOTED THAT NO FAULT FOUND AT THIS TIME.. SO I GUESS NOTHING WAS FIXED. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR AND THE DEAL SHIP SAID THE NEEDS AT LEAST 20KM AND COMPUTER SYSTEM WILL KICK IN OR SOMETHING TO THAT FACT.

TRANSMISSIONS IS FAULTY. CAR SHAKES, SHUDDERS, AND HESITATES DURING SHIFT CHANGE AS WELL AS BRAKING. FORD IS AWARE OF NATIONWIDE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REPLACING PART WITH SAME FAULTY PART.

STEERING WHEEL BECAME STUCK WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING ALARM TURNED ON. THEN IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. I BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. PARTS OF THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WERE REPLACED. BUT MY LIFE WAS AT RISK WHILE DRIVING WITH A STUCK STEERING WHEEL.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2014 FORD FIESTA HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF. IT SOMETIMES GETS STUCK IN A HIGH OR LOW GEAR AND WON'T SHIFT. IT SOMETIMES WON'T ENGAGE AND WILL ROLL WHEN SITTING ON A GRADE. IT GRINDS AND MAKES RATTLING NOISES AT ALL SPEEDS, WORSE AT SHIFT POINTS. UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC WITH THE HESITATION. HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER VEHICLES WHEN IT DISENGAGES OR WON'T ENGAGE AS IT SHOULD. TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING ON A GRADE ON BUSY INTERSTATE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. ASTORG FORD IN PARKERSBURG WV,WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW , WORKED ON IT AND SAID THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY EXPENSES. NEVER GOT REIMBURSED. RECENTLY TOOK CAR BACK TO ASTORG FOR ONGOING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WAS TOLD BY JAMES SCIENCE, SERVICE MANAGER, THAT THEIR COMPUTER SHOWED IT TO BE IN SPECS AND THAT SOMEHOW THE WAY I WAS DRIVING WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS?? FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT HAS NO FIX FOR THIS FAULTY ,UNSAFE TRANSMISSION. FORD VEHICLES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE THE INEVITABLE INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING DESIGN.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN SEP 2015. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE CAR, I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD STALL/SHAKE/JOLT BETWEEN 20-30 MPH. IT GETS TO THE POINT WERE THE JUST DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE CONCER FOR SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE DRIVE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A LEMON THAT NOBODY WANTS, AND NOW IM STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CRAP CAR.

MY CAR HAS HAD A SHIMMY/SHAKING AT 20-30 MPH. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE COMPUTER NEEDING RESET NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR, MONTHS LATER, WENT IN FOR A NEW CLUTCH AND THEN IT STARTED TO CUT OUT AT 30 MPH AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. I WAS TOLD 3 DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MIGHT BE WRONG. THE CAR CUT OUT GOING UP STATE ST. IN TOWN GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. CARS BEEPING AND GOING AROUND ME. WAS SCAREY. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND HAS BEEN THERE SINCE NOVEMBER 27, 2015. I HAVE NO CAR AND NO OPTIONS SINCE CAR IS A YEAR OLD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 FORD FIESTA FEBRUARY 14TH, 2014. GREAT CAR, GREAT MPG, ECT... I STARTED HAVING A JERKING MOTION WHENEVER I ACCELERATED ABOUT 3 MONTHS INTO OWNING MY CAR. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO GET THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND CLUTCH FIXED 4 TIMES ALREADY AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. PENSKE FORD KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS "WITHIN FACTORY LIMITS" AND THE CLUTCH WAS BACKORDERED AND THAT I "DIDN'T NEED IT ANYMORE". I RETURN MY CAR TO SERVICE ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO BE TOLD THAT I REALLY NEED A CLUTCH AND HAVE FOR SOME TIME! AGAIN, CLUTCH IS BACKORDERED WITH NO ETA. MY CAR NOW IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL WHEN I AM MERGING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND IT IS NOW A SAFETY CONCERN. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING MONTHLY ON. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEY'VE LOST A CUSTOMER AND WILL BE CONFRONTED WITH MANY LAW SUITS ON THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT ANYONE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL FEEL THE SAME WAY. THANKS FOR CARING ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS SAFETY FORD...

TAKATA RECALL I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FIESTA AUTOMATIC AT A FORD DEALERSHIP IN ELIZABETHTON TN, THE SALESMAN TOOK ME FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 19,000 MILES ON IT WITH ONE OWNER.... BUT NOW I RELEASE WHY THE OWNER TRADED THE CAR IN, AFTER YOU DRIVE IT FOR A FEW HOURS THE TRANSMISSION REALLY ACTS UP.... I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM THE REAR TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING IT, CAUSE IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR THE CAR SHAKES LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS FALLING APART, AND WILL NOT TAKE OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DOING THAT. SO WITH THIS CAR YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS COMING FOR A LONG WAYS BEFORE YOU PULL OUT, CAUSE IF YOU THINK YOU CAN PULL OUT IN A HURRY FORGET IT CAUSE YOUR SHAKE ALL OVER IN THIS CAR, AND SHUDDER BEFORE IT ENGAGES TO TAKE OFF.... A VERY DANGEROUS CAR THAT SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN RELEASED BY FORD TO SALE TO THE PUBLIC.... THIS CAR AND ANY LIKE IT THAT FORD HAS PUT OUT TO SALE SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND MADE TO PUT A REAL TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, CAUSE NOW I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR CAUSE OF HOW IT ACTS UP..

ON 12/31/2015 WHILE TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE ON A BUSY CROWDED HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH, ALL OF A SUDDEN POOF THEY STOPPED WORKING. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (MIZZELL FORD-WAYNESBORO, GA) ON 1/04/2016 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ONE OF THE WIRES HAD COME LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED FROM THE HARNESS THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS. THEY REPAIRED THE WIRE AND RELOCATED THE HARNESS. MY CONCERN IS THIS BEING AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO REALIZE IMMEDIATELY WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WAS IN A SPOT WHERE I COULD ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER WINDOW WHILE BEING SOAKED TO PULL SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY. SOME OTHERS THAT THIS HAS OR WILL HAPPEN TO MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE RESULTING IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR REVIEWING MY CONCERNS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL : THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE MAKES MY CAR FEEL UNSAFE. AT RANDOM AND QUITE OFTEN WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WILL TREMBLE AND SHAKE WHICH DISABLES ME FROM DRIVING AT THE CORRECT SPEED. MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT SPEED UP CORRECTLY WITH THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS WITH TURNING, WITH OUT TURNING, WITH SPEEDING UP, FROM STOP GOING INTO MOTION, AND IT INCLUDES BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AND AM TAKING IT BACK AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW, AND FEELS LIKE IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE NOR CAN TOLERATE THESE ISSUES.

MY TRANSMISSION IS BAD. THE CLUTCH PART IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A LONG GAP TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANYBODY BECAUSE IT TAKES THAT LONG FOR ME TO ACCELERATE TO THE SPEED LIMIT. AS WELL, WHEN I DO PRESS DOWN TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL STALL AND I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC CAR.
