ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE RADIO UNIT, NOW ON MY 2ND UNIT. RADIO STARTS MAKING A POPPING, CRACKLING, THUMPING LOUD SOUND FROM THE SPEAKERS, UNTIL STOPS WORKING WITH NO SOUND. THEN THESE THUMPING SOUNDS ARE GENERATED EVEN WITH THE RADIO OFF (NOT PLAYING ANYTHING)! WHICH I PRESUME A SHORT OR WIRING ISSUE. I'M SHOCKED WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT FROM JUMPING/JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN IT HAPPENS. MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE TO FORD ABOUT FIESTAS AND FOCUS VEHICLES BUT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING, AND THE DEALER JUST WANTS TO CHARGE FOR LABOR JUST FOR INSPECTING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. THANKS

POWER TRAIN
TAKATA RECALL - MY FORD FIESTA THAT I BOUGHT IN OCTOBER OF 2017 ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY GOING OUT. WHEN I ACCELERATE TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY IT FEELS LIKE I'M NOT MOVING AND MY WHEEL WILL SOMETIMES JERK TO THE SIDE. MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO VIBRATES WHEN I'M IN PARK OR BRAKING. I CAN ALSO FEEL THE VIBRATION ON THE PEDAL. I TRY TO TAKE IT EASY ON THE GAS BUT THE TRANSMISSION STILL JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. I KNOW THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE RECALLED JULY OF 2017 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE "LATCH" THIS ALSO HAS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR SOME 2014 FORD FIESTA'S BUT THIS ONE IS NOT ON THE LIST. WAS STATIONARY BUT ONCE THE DOOR WAS OPEN COULD NOT BE CLOSED DUE TO THE DOOR LATCH NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL FOR THIS VIN

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
OPEN RECALL FOR FUEL SYSTEM FOR THIS YEARS CAR TO THOSE MADE UP TO JUNE 2014. MY CAR SHOULD FALL UNDER THIS AS IT WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS AND THEREFORE REGISTRATION DUE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH STALLS OUT EVERY TIME I FILL UP FOR GAS. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUSPENSION NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE. EVEN MY MECHANIC IS COMPLETELY BAFFLED WHY A NEWER CAR WOULD HAVE SO MANY SAFETY ISSUES.

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH EVERY OWNER OF FIESTAS THAT I KNOW. I'M IN A COMMUNITY OF FIESTA OWNERS AND NEARLY EVERY ONE OF THEM HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE COMPUTER STEREO IN THE CENTER CONSOLE STOPS WORKING MID DRIVE. DISTRACTS DRIVER FROM THE ROAD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR STALLS RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITH GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I AM LEAVING THE GAS STATION, ONCE WHEN I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND MANY TIMES WHEN I AM PULLING INTO TRAFFIC TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT (ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP). MY OWN MECHANIC TESTED THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS MY PURGE VALVE WHICH I LEARNED WAS RECALLED FOR SOME FIESTAS BUT MY FIESTA VIN IS NOT INCLUDED DESPITE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A FORD DEALER AND HE SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAID FOR A REPAIR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
CAR CURRENTLY HAS 90K MI AND THE CLUTCH IS BAD $1700 FOR DEALER TO REPLACE. FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 150K MI ON TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MODULE AT NO COST AND THEN THE MODULE STARTING LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND AS A RESULT THERE WAS A ROARING NOISE FROM ONE OF THE BEARINGS WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THE WORN CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS IS A KNOW ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSS ACCELERATION AND IT JERKS WHEN TAKING OFF AND LOSS OF POWER AND THE AC DOESN'T BLOW OUT COLD AIR. STAY AWAY FROM FORD

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD, APPROACHING A 4WAY INTERSECTION; THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED. THE SCREEN STATED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. MY CAR RESTARTED AND THE SCREEN CLEARED. I PROCEEDED ON AND WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS THE SCREEN REPEATED THE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE. I THEN TURNED AROUND TO RETURN TO MY HOME AS THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY. BUT IT WAS SUNDAY. MONDAY I AGAIN CALLED AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD EXTENDED COVERAGE ON THE TRANSMISSION, TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD REPEATED WORK ON THIS VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2015. I HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED FOR THESE REPAIRS, BUT THE INCONVENIENCE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAD SLID THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
