MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN AS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND TRY TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROADS AS IT LOSES POWER. I COULD GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT COULDN'T GET THE SPEED BACK UP TO NORMAL. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT, FOR A CAR WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES ON IT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I WAS LEAVING LAS VEGAS, GOING 70 MPH DOWN HILL AND MY CAR STARTED TO LOOSE POWER WHILE IT PRODUCED A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE. I WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WAS STRANDED FOR 4 HRS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. THE CAR NEVER GAVE SYMPTOMS JUST DIED. NO CHECK ENGINE OR OVERHEATING, OIL, COOLANT. I WAS TRAVELING ON A TRIP SO I DID HAVE LUGGAGE BUT I NEVER MAXED CAR WEIGHT. THE CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 48,000 MILES. I'VE DONE ALL MY MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR EARLY THAN STICKERS AND DON'T DRIVE HARD. SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR I'VE ADDED ABOUT 10,000 MILES. BACK TO WHAT HAPPENED, I WAS ABLE TO GET TOWED TO BARSTOW FOR FREE BUT MECHANIC I WAS REFERRED TO WAS CLOSED. FRUSTRATING AND EMOTIONALLY SCARING. I HAD TO CUT A DEAL WITH THE TOW COMPANY TO DRIVE ME AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO MY HOME IN 94536 ZIP AREA. BUT I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO SAN JOSE. THE NEXT DAY I ORDERED ANOTHER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO FREMONT FORD DEALER AND HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT'S CONVENIENT FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT FOR 179. I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN 48 HRS AND FORD NEEDS TO COMPENSATE ME FOR DISTRESS. MY CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR AND EXPERIENCE IS ON A STRING.

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO STUTTERING AND INCORRECT SHIFTING FROM MY TRANSMISSION. EACH TIME THEY SAY THEY RESET THE ENGINE THEN TEST IT AND CANT FIND A PROBLEM. A FEW WEEKS LATER MY VEHICLE IS ACTING UP AGAIN AND I REPEAT THE STEPS. I HAVE FINALLY GIVEN UP TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER AND AM CONTACTING YOU DIRECTLY. I HAVE MY TWO KIDS IN THIS CAR AND IT IS FRIGHTENING TO THINK THAT I MAY BE DRIVING DOWN THE FREE WAY AND HAVE THE TRANSMISSION JUST CUT OUT ON ME. THEY KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AS WELL AS AN ISSUE WITH OTHER MAKES AND MODELS. THEY REPLACED MY BROTHERS FOCUS FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE BUT REFUSE TO ACT IN REGARDS TO MY CAR. I AM HONESTLY JUST SICK OF IT AND WANT MY CAR FIXED OR REPLACED.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HESITATES AND SPUTTERS WHEN TAKING OFF ON CITY ROADS, WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT OR MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO TRAFFIC. REAL SCARY TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC, WHEN YOU COULD LOSE POWER. VERY STRESSFUL TO DRIVE. MISSES WHILE DRIVING ALSO. TCM HAS BEEN FLASHED. REPLACED. CLUTCH JUST REPLACED. OVERHEATING LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR LOSES POWER: ON CITY STREET, USUALLY WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. DANGEROUS.! HAS DONE MULTIPLE TIMES. 3RD TIME INTO DEALER FOR OVERHEATING. LAST TIME WHEN, PULLED OVER, AFTER LOSING POWER, IN CITY TRAFFIC, HOOD WAS RAISED TO CHECK FAN, AND THE FAN WAS RUNNING BUT THIS IS WHAT DEALERSHIP REPLACED. OVERHEATING SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN STOPPED IN CITY TRAFFIC. OVERHEATING LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THERE'S A POWER LOSS. I THINK THE ONLY REASON YOU DON'T HAVE A REAL LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD FIESTAS IS BECAUSE, I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PPL KNOW TO GO HERE TO REPORT PROBLEMS. I JUST FOUND IT.JUST LIKE PRIOR PERSON SAID, IF YOU TRY TO SELL IT, FORD REALLY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF YOU. EVEN THOUGH YOUR CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD, AND YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THANK YOU. SO YOUR STUCK...

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! IT HESITATES WHEN POWER IS EXPECTED. IT WILL DOWNSHIFT AND CAUSE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD WHILE BRAKING! THIS IS UNCONTROLABLE!! IT LUNGED INTO THE INTERSECTION AT A RED LIGHT (WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE), WITH CARS COMING TOWARD ME FROM BOTH SIDES!! THANK GOD THEY WERE ALL PAYING ATTENTION AND HAD GOOD BRAKES!! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!! THIS AND THE HESITATING HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES! I AM VERY NERVOUS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE ME TO WRECK BUT IT IS ALL I HAVE TO DRIVE AND CANNOT GET ANYTHING ELSE WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS ONE. OTHERWISE , I WOULD NOT DRIVE IT!! *YOUR FORM ONLY ALLOWS ME TO ENTER ONE DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES! JUST DIFFERENT PLACES AND CIRCUMSTANCES.

HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMED AT LEAST 4 TIMES BY 27,000 MILES AND CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT WILL HESITATE WHEN POWER IS NEEDED AND EXPECTED OR WILL DOWNSHIFT AND CAUSE CAR TO LUNGE AGGRESSIVELY FORWARD WHILE BRAKING. IT SEEMS ALSO COMMON FOR THE MODEL TO STALL ON HIGHWAY AND CLUTCHES REFUSE TO INGAGE IN ANY GEAR. I'VE HAD MANY OF THESE ISSUES OCCURRING AND IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND LIFE EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE IT.

ENGINE
MY ENGINE BLEW A HEAD GASKET BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE COOLING SYSTEM OVERHEATED. SO I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER MOTOR FOR MY VEHICLE. THE MOTOR THAT WAS INSTALLED IS DOING THE SAME THING. THE COOLING SYSTEM IS OVERHEATING AND WHEN IT DOES I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS OFF. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE AND CANNOT DRIVE IT A LONG DISTANCE WITHOUT IT OVERHEATING. I DRIVE 50 MILES FROM MY JOB AND CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE THAT LENGTH OF DISTANCES WITHOUT MY GAUGE SHOWING OVERHEATING. ATTACHED TO THIS IS A COPY OF THE INVOICE THAT SHOWS PROOF THAT I HAVE HAD ANOTHER MOTOR INSTALLED AND THE REASON IT WAS INSTALLED.

ENGINE
PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY VEHICLE RUNS HOT. EVERYTHING POINTS TO COOLANT SENSOR READING INCORRECTLY. SEARCH RECALLS AND FIND THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T EFFECTED YET THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR SAME VEHICLE AND ENGINE SIZE USING THE SAME EXACT SENSOR. WORKED FOR FORD FOR 20 YEARS. HOW AND WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING FOR TO LIE AS TO THE PROBLEM WITH A POTENTIAL FIRE BEING A HEAD GASKET AND NOT THE FAULTY SENSOR THAT IS HAVING TO BE REPLACED? LET ME ANSWER THAT. SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO RECALL EVERY SINGLE CAR THAT HAS THE SENSOR WHICH IS EVERY SINGLE ONE. LET'S ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT FORD CAN THEN CLAIM THAT EVERYONE LEFT WITH AN OVERHEATED ENGINE WITH CRACKED HEADS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE AND NOT THE SENSOR THAT INCORRECTLY ADJUST FOR THE SYSTEM PRESSURE AND INCORRECTLY READS THE TEMPS. THANKS, THANKS FOR LOOKING OUT FOR THE CONSUMER. NOW I AM LEFT WITH THE CHOICE OF PAYING OFF 7GRAND ON PRACTICALLY NEW MODEL OR REPLACE THE ENGINE...AND SENSOR OF COURSE.
