On Sunday December 4th 2022 my car battery died. I called aaa and they sent out a tow company to jump the battery. I noticed for about a month the car made a "ticking" noise. The noise would sound like a "sighing" when parking the vehicle. The passenger side door latch is broken and will no longer lock my door. My minor daughter used to sit up there but now because the door flys open she can no longer sit there. This is a serious safety hazard and needs to be recalled on Ford Fiesta 2016 as well.

In September 2022, my vehicle wouldn’t shift. I took it to Leith Ford in Wendell, NC, who stated it was a faulty Transmission Control Module, and that part is backordered, up to a year! I was told I could park it next to the others who had the same problem. I took the car to my home rather than leaving it at the company for a year, and it stalled out twice while driving. Now it will have to be towed when the part comes in.

Two years ago, a Ford Service person said 2 lug nuts needed to be replaced in order to rotate the tires. Later, I learned that this was a safety hazard because I would not have been able to change a flat tire. This time, I was told at the Ford dealer that all 16 needed to be replaced in order to rotate the tires. Also, I had to pay $110. to have this fixed. Once again, I was in danger of having a flat tire and being unable to remove the tire because of faulty lug nuts. This is a serious safety issue and should be recalled by Ford. I should also be reimbursed by Ford for this expense. No one should have to pay for replacing original Ford parts with parts that are still faulty.

Driving at highway speeds and transmission goes into neutral unexpectedly. Loses power steering at this time also. This also occurs now at any speed. With this occurring there is a high probability of an accident that can lead to serious injury including death. Ford has known of this issue with these vehicles and will not recall them and fix the problems. The government needs to take this matter up and force Ford to fix the unsafe vehicles.

Defected transmissions were installed on these cars. Ford recalled the least number with the least loss, but they kept the rest with their defected transmissions which cost more money than the car’s value. Ford sold their cars with defected transmissions and they knew it!

Transmission shutters and shifts late sometimes during acceleration from a stop.

Vin check also does not show recall, but clearly states in lawsuit 2011 to 2016 are affected.

Lug Nuts! They have swelled due to cheap product putting chrome over steel. Have to replace as mechanic can't get tires off. These could have cracked while driving, which would have put pressure on other lug nuts, maybe causing tires to fall off while driving. Being replaced with manufacturers lug nuts so it's going to happen again.

While driving car suddenly jerked wheel out of drivers hands and almost pulled the car into a ditch on the right side. Lights on the dash say steering assist unavailable service now.

Car shutoff while driving on the highway

There is a problem with certain module of the transmission, whenever you change/replace the battery, once you start the car again, it shows a system alert telling you " damaged transmission, immediate maintenance required". The car starts to act weird, it is not capable to switch gears and the transmission is not working properly overall. I've tried to approach the car dealer which is an official representative/branch of Ford and they are charging for the programming of the module whenever this happens( twice already). I strongly believe that we as a Ford owner shouldn't have to pay for something that is an error from the manufacturer.

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING

MY 2016 VEHICLE WAS NOT ON A RECALL LIST AND I HAVE NOT (NEVER) MISSED A FORD MAINTAINENCE SERVICE OR OIL CHANGE ETC. ON THIS CAR. 85,000 MILES - NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD, JUMPS OUT OF GEAR, WON'T START SOMETIMES, WON'T BACK UP IN REVERSE AND IN FORWARD STUTTERS AND JERKS. IT IS SCARY AND THE LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID IT WILL COST ABOUT $2000.00 DEPENDING ON THAT THEY FIND. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND AND MY EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED. WHY WASN'T MY CAN RECALLED LIKE MANY OF THE SIMILAR. ITS ELECTRONIC? I HAVE NO SAFE VEHICLE AND I AM AT A TERRIBLE LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO. I LIKE THE CAR BUT THIS IS GOING TO KILL ME. PARIS MCNENY

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CARS THROTTLE BODY STOPPED FUNCTIONING. HAVING TO TRY AND PULL OVER I GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. DURING THE SAME TRIP HOME I GOT STUCK ON A SMALL TWO LANE BRIDGE TWICE FOR THE SAME REASON. AFTER GETTING OFF THE BRIDGE IT HAPPENED A FOURTH TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN DOING 70MPH.

ORIGINALLY, SINCE PURCHASE, EVERY TIME I FILLED UP THE VEHICLE IT WILL SUDDENLY JOLT OR JERK AND THE RPMS WOULD DROP TO THE HALF MARK THEN IT WOULD RUMBLE WHILE NOT IN MOTION. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE ABOVE ISSUES WHEN THE TANK IS NEAR EMPTY. I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT AT ANY OTHER TIME AS OF YET BUT I AM ASSUMING THAT IT WILL GET WORSE. FORD DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME IN THE PAST THAT THEY WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNLESS THE ISSUE IS PRESENT DURING THERE CHECK IN PROCESS.

WHEN FUEL IS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT START FOR 5-20 MINUTES AFTER FUEL IS ADDED AND REQUIRES 3-5 ATTEMPTS TO START. ADDITIONALLY, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE ONCE IT STARTS AND BEGINS OPERATING, IT WILL LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF. THIS POWER LOSS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION PARKING LOSS, LEADING TO BEING STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON A ROADWAY. THIS IS A INCREDIBLY SCARY EXPERIENCE.

I HAVE A 2016 FORD FIESTA THIS MODEL CAR DOES NOT COME WITH A GAS CAP.

I BOUGHT MY 2016 FORD FIESTA WITH 31K MILES ON IT. AT THE TIME I DIDN'T RESEARCH TOO DEEPLY INTO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THESE MODELS HAVE. SINCE MY CAR HIT ABOUT 45K MILES I'VE EXPERIENCED SHUTTERING, JUMPING, CLICKING, AND ROUGH SHIFTING OR COMPLETE LACK OF SHIFTING IN THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING SAFELY AND NORMALLY. I'VE EXPERIENCED MY CAR DYING RANDOMLY BECAUSE THE TCM IS FAULTY AND USES ALL THE CAR'S POWER EVEN WHEN THE CAR ISN'T ON. DURING A PERIOD MY CAR WAS HAVING LOTS OF TROUBLE TURNING OVER THE ENGINE TO START. HAD A BUNCH OF VACUUMS AND WIRING REPLACED AND THIS HELPED A BIT WITH THE CAR STARTING. NOW IT'S AT 67K MILES AND I'M COMPLETELY SCARED TO DRIVE IT. IT NEVER FEELS RELIABLE GIVEN THE FAULTY TCM, I'VE HAD TO BUY AN EXTRA PORTABLE CAR JUMP STARTER JUST SO I CAN MAKE SURE I'LL BE ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, AND NOW I JUST WANT FORD TO BUY IT BACK. IT'S OVERALL A FAULTY CAR THAT IS FORESHADOWING A FUTURE OF REPLACING SOMETHING RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION EVERY 5K MILES WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AND COMPLETELY UNAFFORDABLE. PLEASE REMEDY THIS CATASTROPHIC ISSUE FORD!
