SUSPENSION, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED, MAKE GRINDING SOUND AND HESITATED WHEN STARTING UP AND DRIVING. AT EVERY STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN WHEN STARTING UP AGAIN, THE SAME SOUNDS, AND HESITATING WOULD OCCUR. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER WHO SAID I NEEDED ANOTHER CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION. ABOUT $3000.00. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL, AND EXACTLY THE SAME SITUATION IS HAPPENING, THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY GAVE US A RENTAL. THE TECH CALLED YESTERDAY TO SAY THEY ARE WORKING IN IT (DAY 2) THEN THEY CALL THIS MORNING TO SAY WHAT IT IS DOING IS NORMAL. I TOLD THEM IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO JUST LOSE MOMENTUM THEN WHEN IT DOES GO IT LURCHES FORWARD AND STARTS GOING REAL FAST. THERE IS A PROBLEM EITHER WITH THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED AND I AM DEADLY AFRAID ITS GOING TO BE ONE OF US. FORD JUST DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

WE WERE AT A LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN WE ACCELERATED TO APPROX. 15 MPH AND SUDDENLY WE LOST MOMENTUM. A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND US LOCKED UP ITS WHEEL AND LUCKILY WE STARTED MOVING AGAIN OR HE WOULD HAVE DRILLED US. *TR

THIS IS AT LEAST THE 12TH TIME WE HAVE TAKEN IN THE CAR OUT WHICH 2 TIMES (NOW A THIRD) THEY HAVE ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM. FORD SENT ME A LETTER ADVISING THEY WERE AWARE OF "POSSIBLE" PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAY ITS AN AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND IT CAN LEAK FROM ONE CHAMBER TO ANOTHER CAUSING GRINDING, LOSS OF MOTION ETC. THEY GAVE ALL OWNERS A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR THE TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM IS I PAID FOR A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE CAR ALREADY. WE WERE TURNING A (WINDING ROAD) SLIGHT CURVE WHEN IT SOUNDED LIKE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION WAS FALLING OUT OF THE CAR AND WE LOST MOTION. THE CAR BEHIND US SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES HORN BLARING AND SWERVED JUST BARLEY MISSING US. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WE BOUGHT A 2013 FORD FIESTA IN AUGUST OF 2013. NOT THREE WEEKS INTO OWNING IT, WE HAD SOME TROUBLES AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. IT TURNS OUT THERE WAS A BAD FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE IT WAS BEING REPLACED, I WAS GIVEN A FORD LOANER TO DRIVE FOR ALMOST A WEEK, WHILE THEY HAD THE CAR TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP.??THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN LOOKED AT 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF LIQUID ON SOME PART THAT MAKES IT NOT CHANGE GEARS QUICKLY AND THAT THEY WIPED IT OFF AND IT SHOULD BE GOOD BUT THAT IT CAN COME BACK. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY REWORKED THE COMPUTER AND THE CAR NEEDS A CHANCE TO ?GET TO KNOW THE WAY I DRIVE? AND THEY SENT ME AWAY. THE THIRD TIME THEY LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT THE LOUD, CRUNCHY, JUMPY THINGS I AM EXPERIENCING ARE CALLED "NORMAL FOR THE CAR" AND THEY SEND ME AWAY. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE AND SOMEONE HIGHER UP IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PRINTED OUT A NOTICE ABOUT FORD FIESTA TRANSMISSIONS TO ASSURE ME THAT THE SOUNDS AND JERKING I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS NORMAL WHEN WE RECEIVE THE SURVEY FOR OUR EXPERIENCE, OF COURSE WE GIVE A NEGATIVE RATING. WE DID NOT GET A SERVICE THAT WE FEEL WE WERE DUE AND THE CAR DOES NOT DRIVE AS PROMISED. THE NEXT TIME I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE SAME ISSUES, OUR REP, [XXX] TOLD ME THAT ?WE SCREWED HER ON THAT SURVEY AND THAT HER JOB IS ON THE LINE WITH THINGS LIKE THAT ? IF SHE GETS ANYTHING LOWER THAN EXCELLENT?. WELL, SORRY, OUR EXPERIENCE WAS NOT EXCELLENT. WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES, IT SPUTTERS FROM IDLE TO FIRST GEAR AND IS SOMETIMES UNSAFE WHEN YOU NEED TO TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BUT WE WERE TOLD IT WAS ALL IN OUR HEADS AND EVEN THAT WE SHOULD LEARN TO DRIVE IT DIFFERENTLY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE FRONT DOORS TO MY 2013 FORD FIESTA WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY AFTER UNLOCKING, GETTING INTO MY CAR AND TRYING TO CLOSE THEM. THE LATCH WOULD NOT CLOSE, THEREFORE LEAVING MY DOORS UNABLE TO CLOSE AND MAKING THE CAR NON-DRIVABLE. TO BE FIXED, THE ENTIRE LOCKING MECHANISM NEEDED CHANGED COSTING $785 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. RECENTLY THIS PAST WEEK, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHILE I WAS GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO THE INTERSTATE TO GO TO WORK. THE DOOR SWUNG OPEN, MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON THE ROAD, AND I TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK HOME TO SWITCH TO MY WIFE'S CAR. AGAIN, THE WHOLE MECHANISM NEEDED CHANGED TO REPAIR TO THE COST OF $345 DOLLARS. A CAR THAT IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 50K SHOULD NOT HAVE BIG AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUES SUCH AS THIS. HOPEFULLY FORD WILL DO THE RIGHT THING A DO A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL. *TR

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN FLEMING ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE 2013 FORD FIESTA COMPLAINTS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN SHE PULLED OFF FROM A STOP, OR MADE TURNS, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK, AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THE COMMAND BUTTON ON THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN UPDATE. THE COMMAND BUTTON ONLY WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THE JERKING HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED ONCE AGAIN, THE VEHICLE NEEDED ANOTHER UPDATE AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS NORMAL FOR ONE DAY. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A NEW ISSUE, WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD SQUEAL, WHEN IT WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, OR WHEN SHE MADE TURNS. THE COMMAND BUTTON STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, AND SHE WAS INFORMED A PIN WAS BENT AND WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE ROTOR, WHICH CAUSED THE SQUEALING NOISE. *JB

THE NEW* AUTOMATIC CLUTCH SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING AND JUMPING/STUTTERING/SKIPPING THROUGH THE FIRST 1-3 GEARS. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND AM SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED/REPLACED AGAIN. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW WITH 7 MILES THE FIRST OCCURRENCES HAPPENED BEFORE 5K AND NOW IT HAS LESS THAN 15K MI AND IS HAPPENING AGAIN. OFTEN THE RESPONSE TO ACCELERATE IS DELAYED MAKING IT UNSAFE TO MERGE, FLOW WITH TRAFFIC, CHANGE LANES ETC. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THE RIGHT REAR DOOR OF MY VEHICLE FLEW OPEN RAPIDLY. I WAS AFRAID OF THE DOOR STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE OR INJURING MY PASSENGER AND HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER. IN ORDER TO PULL OVER SAFELY, THE PASSENGER WAS FORCED TO GRAB AHOLD OF THE DOOR SO THAT I COULD STEER THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. ONCE I REACHED THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WE EXAMINED THE DOOR, AT FIRST THINKING THAT PERHAPS IT HAD BEEN IMPROPERLY SHUT. WE DISCOVERED, IN FACT, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. THERE WAS SOME DEFECT IN THE CAR THAT CAUSED THE DOOR TO FLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AS-IS BECAUSE THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH SO WE HAD TO TIE THE DOOR SHUT FROM THE INTERIOR TO DRIVE IT HOME SAFELY. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC WAS NOT OPEN AT THAT TIME. ONCE HOME, I COULD NOT ACTIVATE THE ALARM SYSTEM SO THE CAR SAT UNLOCKED OVERNIGHT WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF BECAUSE THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANIC AS SOON AS THEY OPENED THE NEXT MORNING AND HAD TO MISS HALF A DAY OF WORK BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS FOR THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS TO FIX THE LATCH AND THEY REFERRED ME TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO VOICE MY COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT A DEFECT THAT CAUSED ME TO FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY PASSENGER. I FILED A CLAIM WITH FMC. TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAYING THAT MY CASE HAD BEEN CLOSED. FMC OFFERED ME NO EXPLANATION OF OR RESOLUTION TO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I ALSO HAVE HAD ENGINE HESITATION WITH MY FIESTA SINCE THE FIRST DAYS WITH MY NEW CAR. FROM A STOP, EITHER ON A INCLINE OR FLAT SURFACE, THE CAR HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING.IT SHAKES AND GIVE YOU A FEELING OF SAFETY CONCERNS THAT IT MIGHT STALL AND NOT MOVE FORWARD. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL TAKE A VERY LONG TIME, IF AT ALL, TO ADD TO YOUR SPEED. MAINTAINING YOUR SPEED WHILE DRIVING IS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS A UNSAFE CAR AND FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS MAJOR PROBLEM BEFORE A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO BE A STATISTIC TO BEGIN ACTION. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO ME TO BE WELL DOCUMENTED IF ALL THE DEALERSHIPS ARE PASSING ON THE COMPANY LINE FROM FORD " THAT THIS IS HOW THE FORD FIESTA OPERATES" TO THE CONSUMERS THAT COME TO THE DEALERSHIPS FOR HELP.THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IF I OR ANY OF THE OTHER AFFECTED DRIVERS WOULD HAVE KNOW WE WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.I HOPE FORD WILL CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A TRAGEDY. *TR

DELIVERED ON 7/8/13 DEALER: JERSEY CITY FORD. DEAR FORD, WE ARE UPSET OVER THE REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2013 FORD FIESTA, BRAND NEW ON 7/18/2013. THE CAR HAS BEEN BUCKING, GRINDING AND ALMOST STALLING. WHEN WE CALLED TO COMPLAIN OR ASK QUESTIONS WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. THE NEXT CALL AND VISIT FOR REPAIR WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE NEW TRANSMISSION/ POWER SHIFT ON THE FIESTAS & FOCUS. ALSO INFORMED THERE WAS AN "OPEN RECALL" ON A PART THAT IS INVOLVED IN THE CLUTCH OF THESE NEW VEHICLES. THEY SAY IT SOUNDS/DRIVES AND FEELS LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION BUT ITS GOOD ON GAS. WELL, THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS, WE TURNED IN A 2011 FORD FOCUS SE WITH THIS SAME TRANSMISSION THAT IS IN THE 2013 CARS AND NO WAY DID WE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. HERE ARE THE FOLLOWING TIMES WE WENT TO JC FORD REPAIR: OCT 18, 2013 - SAME DAY STATES PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. MAY 2, 2014 - OIL CHANGE, COMPLAINED ABOUT TRANSMISSION BUT NOT ON DOCUMENTS. MAY 21, 2014 - LEFT CAR FOR A REBOOT OF ELECTRONICS ON THE CAR AND PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON MAY 23, 2014. THEY ORDERED PART DUE TO "HESITATION AND SHUTTER" IN TRANSMISSION (THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLUTCH; OPEN RECALL ON A PART). MAY 28, 2014 LEFT VEHICLE AT FORD FOR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AND REBOOT OF ELECTRONICS, PICKED VEHICLE UP ON JUNE 4, 2014. WHEN WE PICKED UP THE CAR ON JUNE 4TH, 2014, MY WIFE PULLED OUT OF THE GARAGE AND WENT 3 BLOCKS AND TURNED BACK TO THE FORD GARAGE. [XXX], THE REPAIR SECTION MANAGER CALLED THE MECHANIC THAT DID THE REPAIR AND HAD HIM TAKE A TEST DRIVE WITH HER. THE CAR SOUNDED AND RAN WORSE THAN WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN AND HAD A NEW SOUND, THE FRONT END OR WHEELS WERE MAKING NOISE, BRAKES WERE SHAKY AND THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM SOUND WAS STILL THERE.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 FIESTA IN 6/13. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE 3/14. THE CAR SHAKES, SHIFTS AND LOOSES POWER WHEN TAKING OFF. THESE PROBLEMS ARE A GREAT CONCERN TO ME SINCE I HAVE 2 KIDS AND I AM AFRAID WE ARE NOT SAFE IN THIS CAR. IN ONE INSTANCE CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE. IN OTHER INSTANCE THE CAR SHAKE WHILE WAITING ON A RED LIGHT AND THEN NO POWER TO TAKE OFF. THESE ARE REALLY BIG PROBLEMS THAT PUT A PERSON AT A VERY HIGH RISK FOR ACCIDENTS. I HAVE BEEN TO FORD DEALER IN PITTSBURGH CA MORE THAN 7 TIMES RELATED TO MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND ALL THEY DO IS PUT FLUID/OIL AND CLEAN PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION/ CLUTCH AND HONESTLY IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR TO HAVE A SAFE TRANSPORTATION FOR ME AND MY KIDS AND THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. I AM ALWAYS SCARED I AM GOING TO HIT SOMEONE OR THAT I AM GOING TO GOING TO GET HIT BECAUSE THE CAR CANT TAKE OFF . *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THE VEHICLE THERE IS A FLAW IN LOCK OUT SAFETY SYSTEM. WHEN KEY IS IN IGNITION AND CAR RUNNING IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOCK YOUR SELF OUT. HERE'S HOW. WITH KEY IN IGNITION AND DRIVER DOOR OPEN. ENGAGE THE LOCK BUTTON FROM KEY FOB. STEP OUT SIDE VEHICLE AND CLOSE DOOR. YOU OUR NOW LOCKED OUT OF YOUR RUNNING VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE. I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED THE LOCK BUTTON WHILE TRYING TO ENGAGE THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON FROM KEY FOB. NOTE. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN TRUNK IS FROM KEY FOB AS WELL AS ENGAGING BUTTON LOCATED OUTSIDE AS LONG AS ALL DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOUR VEHICLE IS IN WEATHER THAT COULD BE HARMFUL TO SMALL CHILDREN OR ANIMALS. *TR
