ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS FORD FIESTA WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE DAY IT WAS BUILT. FORD HAS BEEN SUED AND MUST TAKE CARE OF THE BILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS WHO BOUGHT THESE VEHICLES. THE ENGINE IS NOT EQUIPT TO HANDLE THIS TRANSMISSION AND EVENTUALLY BLOWS THE ENGINE, BEFORE ALL THAT HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION STALLS, AND LEAVES YOU ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN TREATED HORRIBLY BY THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR. THEY KNOW THIS IS A LEMON AND YET THEY CONTINUED TO SELL THIS CAR. LOOK AT THE VARGAS VS FORD TRANSMISSION CASE

STRUCTURE:BODY
COMING BACK FROM GROCERY SHOPPING, I ENTERED A PARKED CAR, PULLED OUT AND THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN. I PULLED BACK IN, AND WAS UNABLE TO LATCH CLOSE THE DOOR. NOT BLOCKED IN THE LOCKED POSITION, BUT UNABLE TO FASTEN WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED. I HAD TO BUY DUCT TAPE TO KEEP IT CLOSED. I LATER LEARNED THAT FORD HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND A PRE-RECALL NUMBER THAT REFLECTS MY ISSUE. 20S15. I AM REPORTING THIS AS IT IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I CAN NOT COPE LONG WITH THE BACK DOOR SEAT BELTED BY THE ARM. PLEASE BRING ENFORCEMENT PRESSURE TO THE FORD COMPANY. THANKS.

ENGINE
A RECALL ABOUT THE COOLING SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY WAS ISSUED FOR CARS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY. I AM NOW HAVING THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T SHOWING UP ON THE ACTIVE RECALL LIST FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND I CANT GET IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE THE RECALL ISN'T ON THIS CAR. IT IS HAPPENING TO IT THOUGH AND WAS REPORTED ON 2014 FORD FIESTAS. DON'T KNOW WHY MINE ISN'T LISTED. IT OVERHEATS WHEN I AM IDLE BUT NOT IN MOTION. WHEN I COME TO A STOP, IN TRAFFIC OR AT A STOPLIGHT, THE AC GETS HOT AND THE OVERHEAT LIGHT POPS ON. WHEN IM MOVING THIS GOES AWAY AND THE AC GETS COLD AGAIN. WORRIED THIS IS BECAUSE OF DEFECT NOT JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS. LATELY I?LL BE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT OR DRIVE THROUGH AND THE LIGHT THAT SAYS IT'S OVERHEATING COMES ON AND IF I DON'T TURN IT OFF IT WILL SHUT OFF ITSELF. THE FLUIDS ARE ALL FULL. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN GIVING ME TROUBLE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. I'LL PRESS THE GAS SLOWLY AND THE CAR JUMPS. I HAVE 4 MORE YEARS TO PAY ON THIS CAR! I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED ON THIS CAR'S PERFORMANCE

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I WENT TO PICK UP MY NEPHEWS FROM THEIR BABYSITTER THIS WEEKEND AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME THE BACK DOOR BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT SWUNG OPEN. KEEP IN MIND I HAD TWO LITTLE KIDS IN THE BACK FREAKING OUT I SLOWLY MADE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CLOSE IT SO WE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY SO IT WOULDN'T DIE. ARIZONA IS A VERY HOT STATE BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE I'M SCARED THAT THE OTHER DOORS WILL DO THE SAME THING. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE OFF, I'M HAVING TROUBLE WHEN DRIVING WITH IT "SKIPPING" ITS HARDER FOR IT TO ACCELERATE WHEN DRIVING. YOU HEAR A FEW THUDS AND THEN MY RPMS WILL GO UP BEFORE THE CAR WILL MOVE. I DON'T REALLY KNOW THE PROPER TERMS. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME REGARDLESS IF I'M AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I'VE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION DO THIS. IT CAN BE SCARY WHEN I START TO DRIVE AND THEN MY CAR DOESN'T MOVE BUT INSTEAD MAKES THE THUDDING NOISE BEFORE EVENTUALLY TAKING OFF FASTER THAN EXPECTED. I CAN FEEL IT IN THE CAR WHEN THE THUDDING HAPPENS *TR

WE BOUGHT THE CAR FEBRUARY, 2016. AS WE DROVE THE CAR MORE, WE BEGAN TO NOTICE SHUTTERING AND CHATTERING. AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC TEST DROVE OUR CAR. HE SAID IT HAD A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER SHUTTER THAT GETS WORSE THE MORE YOU DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN IN SPORT MODE, WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM 1ST, IT SKIPS 2ND, AND GOES STRAIGHT TO 3RD. THERE WAS LOUD CLATTERING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN GEARING DOWN AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY UPHILL. MARCH 1, 2016, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON AT RAMEY FORD, PRINCETON, WV. MAY 31, 2016, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON AT RAMEY FORD, PRINCETON, WV. MAY 9, 2017, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON AT MOUNTAINEER AUTOMOTIVE, BECKLEY, WV. NOVEMBER 28, 2017, THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKED ON AT MOUNTAINEER AUTOMOTIVE, BECKLEY, WV. MARCH 3, 2020, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AT ACT AUTO, BECKLEY, WV BECAUSE THE CAR HAD BEEN MAKING A WHINING SOUND THAT CONTINUED TO GET LOUDER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT PUMP OF THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED. MY WIFE AND I ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE, FOR FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL STALL OUT OR CAUSE US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL OR BAD DESIGN OF SEMI RIGID COOLANT HOSE ALLOWED SYSTEM TO BOIL OUT COOLANT SLOWLY AND DAMAGE ENGINE BY THE TIME ANY TEMPERATURE INDICATION, AND IF GAUGE NOT NOTICED A RIGHT TIME, COOLANT BOILS OUT LEAVING THE TEMP SENOR IN AIR, THAT DOESN'T SHOW AS OVER TEMPERATURE. EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING LINK FROM FORD'S UK WEB, SAME ENGINE AND COOLANT SYSTEM: HTTPS://WWW.FORD.CO.UK/OWNER/RESOURCES-AND-SUPPORT/FAQS (SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE "ECOBOOST 1.0 ENGINE ISSUES) DEALER DETERMINED ENTIRE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED. CAN ONLY TALK TO FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO ONLY TAKE INFO AND SEND ON. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN ONLY DO THE SAME, FORD TOLD DEALER SINCE I'M "NOT ORIGINAL OWNER" THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. REPLACEMENT PART EXACTLY THE SAME DESIGN AND MATERIAL. MANY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND REMEDY SHOULD NOT BE CONTINGENT ON OWNER, IT IS THE PRODUCT THAT NEEDS FIXING REGARDLESS OF WHO OWNS IT. *DL

I HAVE A 2014 FORD FIESTA WITH 88,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS THE FAULTY DPS6 TRANSMISSION THAT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND SHUDDERS SO BAD UNDER ACCELERATING THAT IT SOMETIMES BARELY MOVES, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD KNOWS IT! , I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO FORD TO ASSES THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY AGREED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THEY OFFER, THE PROBLEM IS MY VEHICLE HAS A REBUILT TITLE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO THE WARRANTY WORK EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FORD KNOW IT SINCE THEY ARE IN ARBITRATION FOR IT. JUST BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS A REBUILT TITLE DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT SHOULD NOT GET REPAIRED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE MADE A FACTORY RECALL SO THEY WILL HAVE TO FIX IT!
