CLUTCH PEDAL WON'T RAISE. AT REST WHEN PUSHING IN THE PEDAL IT GOES TO THE FLOOR AND WILL ONLY RAISE ABOUT AN INCH. WHEN DISENGAGING, THE CLUTCH SLIPS. APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER. THIS OCCURED AT ABOUT 66,000 MILES. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND AFTER FEWER THAN 5000 MILES IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AND I KEEP CHANGES THE FUSES. IT LASTS FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN HAPPENS AGAIN. IT'S THE FUSE BOX. IF CANADA CAN HAVE A RECALL ON THIS, BECAUSE YOU NEED HEADLIGHTS TO DRIVE, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY CAN'T THE UNITED STATES RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THEM. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. CANADA CARES MORE ABOUT THERE PEOPLE'S SAFETY THEN THE UNITED STATES. IS THAT RIGHT. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY FEBRUARY 9, 2021.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE A 2016 FORD FIESTA THIS MODEL CAR DOES NOT COME WITH A GAS CAP. I'VE NOTICED AFTER I FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GAS MY CAR STUTTERS AND STALLS OUT AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T START RIGHT AWAY THIS GOES AWAY AFTER 3 OR 4 TIMES IS STARTING THE CAR BACK UP I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY PURGE VALVE FOR THE FORD FIESTA WAS DEFECTIVE I'VE ALREADY HAD THIS REPAIRED AND BELIEVE THIS REPAIR HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM I'VE READ OF OTHER PEOPLE OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES APPARENTLY BECAUSE THE HAS A CAPLESS GAS TANK THIS CREATES AIR POCKETS IN THE FUEL TANK WHICH MESSES UP THE PURGE VALVE OVER TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE THE DAY I DROVE MY VEHICLE OFF THE LOT. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO BRING IT BACK WITHIN WARRANTY; HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG AND DEPARTED HOME. SINCE THEN, I BROUGHT IT BACK ABOUT 2 MORE TIMES & WAS TOLD AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION FELL 'WITHIN WORKING CAPABILITIES'. NOT LONG AFTER, I RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN AND SHOWED THE REPRESENTATIVE(S) THE LETTER, I WAS REASSURED EVERYTHING WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. I LEFT PAYING A $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT, THE VEHICLE ISN'T RELIABLE AT ALL. I'VE ALREADY INVESTED $1,200 INTO FIXING A HVAC BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR ISSUE THAT APPEARED SHORTLY AFTER ITS' PURCHASE. I INFORMED FORD MARGATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL; BUT AS MANY TIMES AS I CALL, THE ISSUES GET OVERLOOKED AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT ON THEIR END. I ONLY HAVE 65K MILES ON THE CAR & IT ROLLS BACKWARDS IF I'M ON A HILL. THIS HAPPENS AS SOON AS I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND I ANTICIPATE HITTING THE GAS. BEFORE I CAN EVER DO THAT, THE CAR STARTS ROLLING BACKWARDS AS IF IT'S A MANUAL. THE TRANSMISSION CONSISTENTLY SHUTTERS AND THE GEARS DON'T AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT PROPERLY. IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES?
