WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A SUDDEN SCREECHING, POPPING AND CRACKING SOUNDS STARTLED ME TO THE POINT I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR, AFTER PARKING THE CAR ON A SIDE STREET AND TURNING IT COMPLETELY OFF THE SOUNDS CONTINUED ON. THE CAR HAS BLUETOOTH AND SYNC WHICH WILL NOT WORK TO TURN OFF THE SOUNDS. BOTH SYSTEMS ARE DOWN. I HAD SOMEONE LOOK AT THE CAR BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING LOOKED WRONG THEY DID HOWEVER CHECK ALL THE FUSES AND SPEAKERS WITH CONFUSED ME. I CHECKED FOR RECALL ON THE CAR BUT FOUND NONE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, I DID FIND LOTS OF ONLINE BLOGS AND WEBSITES TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HOPE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, IT REALLY IS DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THIS CONDITION

MY DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT. I CAN CLOSE IT BUT THE LATCH DOESN'T LOCK AND I'LL HAVE TO DUCT TAPE THE DOOR CLOSED TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT HOME WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR TO GET STUFF OUT THE BACKSEAT, THEN TRIED TO CLOSE IT AND IT WOULD NOT LOCK. I'VE RARELY USED THIS REAR PASSENGER DOOR SINCE I'M THE ONLY USER OF THIS VEHICLE AND USE THE HATCHBACK TRUNK WITH THE SEATS DOWN, SO I REACH IN OUT THROUGH THE TRUNK MOSTLY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY MY CAR BEGAN SMOKING AND BEGAN TO OVERHEAT WHICH CAUSED A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD THAT SPRAYED OIL ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF MY HOOD SPARKING A SMALL FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE COMPUTER BEGAN TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND DISPLAYED A WARNING MESSAGE THAT STATED SUDDEN LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE, PLEASE PREPARE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. JUST AS I READ THAT MESSAGE THE BRAKES STARTED TO LOCK AND THE STEERING BECAME HARDER TO TURN AS I TRIED TO GET OFF THE NEXT EXIT FROM THE EXPRESSWAY. I REINJURED MY BROKEN ANKLE IN TRYING TO KEEP STOP AND CONTROL THE CAR. ONCE PULLED OVER THE CAR CONTINUED TO SMOKE AND NO LONGER STARTED. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AND IT WAS DENIED AS THEY FOUND THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO RECALL MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL BREAKDOWN STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND ON THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY MEDIACENTER WEBSITE THIS RECALL NOTICE DATE 3/29/17. MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THIS LIST BUT TO THE LETTER IS WHAT I EXPERIENCED: FORD ISSUES SAFETY RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2013-15 FORD ESCAPE, FORD FIESTA ST, FORD FUSION AND FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 1.6-LITER GTDI VEHICLES FOR UNDER-HOOD FIRE RISK FORD IS ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR APPROXIMATELY 230,000 2014 FORD ESCAPE, 2014-15 FORD FIESTA ST, 2013-14 FORD FUSION AND 2013-15 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 1.6-LITER GTDI ENGINES. FORD'S INVESTIGATION OF THESE VEHICLES HAS IDENTIFIED A RISK OF UNDER-HOOD FIRES. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, A LACK OF COOLANT CIRCULATION COULD CAUSE AN ENGINE TO OVERHEAT, RESULTING IN A CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD CAN RESULT IN A PRESSURIZED OIL LEAK. OIL THAT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH A HOT ENGINE SURFACE INCREASES THE RISK OF A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FORD IS AWARE OF 29 REPORTS OF FIRE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. NO INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES. JAN 20, 2016. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OPENED IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. THE "LATCH" WOULD NOT ALLOW DOOR TO STAY CLOSED. RECALL #15S16/15V-246. WE RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING US WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. LATCH WAS FIXED IN JANUARY OF 2016. JULY 21ST 2017, REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOOR, WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, FLUNG OPEN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET, DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH AND STAY CLOSED. FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR WHEN WE FIRST BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT WAS OUT OF THE 1 YEAR WARRANTY. JULY 25, 2017 WERE QUOTED $300 TO GET THE LATCH FIXED. AFTER COMPLAINING WITH FORD AND FORD SERVICE MANAGER WE WERE QUOTED $150, ONLY 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THAT TELLS ME FORD IS NOT CONFIDENT IN THERE PRODUCT OR REPAIR TO ONLY GIVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THE LATCHES WERE APPARENTLY THE NEW AND IMPROVED BUT IT MALFUNCTIONED 17 MONTHS LATER, UNACCEPTABLE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AS OF AUGUST 1, 2017 FOR THE REPLACED LATCHES.

VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER WITH NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND MAINTAIN.

DESPITE DOING THIS THE DOOR REMAINED OPENED (AS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL) AND THE INSIDE DOME LIGHTS WOULD NOT CUTOFF. I NOTICED THE DOOR WAS OPEN JUST AS I HAD BEGAN PULLING OFF. I HOPPED OUT SHUT THE DOOR GOT BACK IN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ONLY TO SEE THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS STILL DISPLAYING THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN. WHAT'S RIDICULOUS IS ON SEPT 6, 2016 I WENT INTO THE DEALER (MARSHALL FORD WERE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WITH 13 MILES ON IT) BECAUSE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DID THE EXACT SAME THING WHICH WAS UNDER RECALL 15S16. WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE MANGER 'JIM" AT MARSHALL FORD, 1075 WEST TERRA LANE,O'FALLON,MO 63366 THAT THE "REPLACEMENT PART HAD A 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY'..I'M WITHIN THE 1 YR TIMEFRAME BUT HAVE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE COMPONENT.

ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, HEADLIGHTS GO OFF, AND THE RADIO GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WARNING COMES ON RANDOMLY (PER THE MESSAGE BOARDS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL). IT'S BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS THEREFORE THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGINE MALFUNCTION ERROR AND LOSS OF PERFORMANCE DUE TO MANUFACTOR DEFECT IN WIRE HARNESS. FORD CLAIMS THIS IS A ISSUE DONE DURING MANUFACTURING AND THE FIX IS TO RE WIRE THE HARNESS UNDER DASH BUT IS NOT COVERED DUE TO IT BEING A WIRING ISSUE. LOSS OF PERFORMANCE IN VEHICLE IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF DRIVING ON A FREE WAY OR OTHER ROADS AND YOU CAR LOSES MOST POWER. FORD HAS SAID THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT THE WORRY BUT IT IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE AND CONSUMERS JUST HAVE TO PAY AND HAVE IT FIXED WHICH IS COSTS IN THE THOUSANDS FOR THERE MANUFACTURING DEFECT.THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING OR JUST DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. IT HAPPENS NON STOP RANDOMLY AND HAS BEEN HAPPENIING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS WITH NO HELP FROM FORD TO FIX THE ISSUES.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS YOUR CAR DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE IT JOLTS AND STARTS NOT BURING GASOLINE ALL THE WAY IT ALSO WILL CAUSE SMOG ISSUES DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND YOU ALSO NEED TO PULL VEHICLE OVER WHERE EVER YOU ARE AT TO TURN IT OFF WAIT A FEW MINS AND THEN IT BACK ON SO YOU CAN KEEP DRIVING

THIS CAR HAS TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD AND THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE BRAKES. THE SOUND THAT MY CAR IS MAKING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BRAKES. MY CAR HESITATES, SHUDDERS, JERKS WHEN DRIVING. IT ALSO HAS A LOUD NOISE THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD ONCE BY FORD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE CLUTCH. NOW THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION. MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S A STICK SHIFT AND WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL AFTER STOPPING. SOMETIMES I CAN'T GET IT TO REACH THE SPEED I WANT AND IT HAS DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT THAT IS WHY I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD AGAIN. I HAVE VIDEOS WITH THE NOISE IT'S MAKING AND I HAVE EVEN PLAYED IT FOR THE PEOPLE AT FORD. DESPITE HAVING HEARD THE VIDEO AND HAVING DRIVEN MY CAR, THEY SAY IT'S FINE, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THE NOISE IS GETTING WORSE AND I FEEL LIKE IF I CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.

BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ON 12/22/2013 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FROM DAY 3 OF OWNING IT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT GRINDS, CLICKS AND MAKES HORRIBLY LOUD NOISES. IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN RAN OVER MANY TIMES. IT JERKS AND ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME EVENING TELLING IT TO. NOW AT APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES IT WILL NO LONGER EVEN START AND THE LIGHT SAYS "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW." THE WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COME ON AND OFF, PERIODICALLY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE THAT THEY PUT BAD TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL OF THESE NEW CARS AND WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE'S DEATH BEFORE SOMEONE DOES THE RIGHT THING IN THIS SITUATION?

I HAVE A 2013 FORD FIESTA SE AND MY CAR WILL NOT GAIN SPEED DUE TO THE CLUTCH ALSO THE CAR SHUTTERS AND SHAKES A LOT TAKING OFF, TURNING OR MOVING FROM A STOP LIGHT. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I CANNOT GAIN SPEED ENOUGH OR GO FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF SOMEONES WAY OR FOR ME TO GET ON THE HIGH WAY. WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND ALMOST HAS WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. MY RPMS GO UP TO AT LEAST 4 OR 5 BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT SHIFT AND THE LOSE OF POWER IS SO BAD THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ALMOST EACH TIME I MOVE FROM A STOP LIGHT AND I TAKE OFF TO GO UP A HILL. IT TAKES ME LONGER TO MOVE CAUSING PEOPLE TO ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE SENSE I GOT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.
