LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR INDEPENDENTLY OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (KISSLEBACK FORD, 1118 13TH ST, ST CLOUD, FL 34769), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V210000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, SUSPENSION
THIS FORD FIESTA HAS MANY PROBLEMS I HAVE SPEND OVER 1300 DOLLARS THIS CAR HAS MANY SAFETY ISSUES. THE DOORS POPED OPEN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. I CONTACTED FORD AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT CARING SHE STATED IT'S OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY . I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THE DOORS CAME OPEN WITH MY TWO YEAR OLD IN BACK SEAT IN A CAR SEAT COULD HAVE FELL OUT. I ALSO TOLD HER THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND I WOULD LIKE THIS LOOKED INTO. I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY ALL AMERICAN IN FAYETTEVILLE NC.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE, THERE IS NO POWER. THE TRANSMISSION THEN KICKS BACK AND IT GOES FLYING OVER 4000 RPMS BEFORE IT WILL SHIFT. WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL RANDOMLY GIVE A SLIGHT KICK AND LOSE POWER, DESPITE NOT INCREASING OR DECREASING PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS, I THEN GOT IT "FIXED" UNDER WARRANTY (TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY) BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM, AND THEY WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS OR EMAILS. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY EITHER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ONLY A YEAR AGO AND THE KBB VALUE HAS ALREADY DROPPED TO LESS THAN WHAT I STILL OWE, PRESUMABLY IN PART DUE TO THE LAWSUIT. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WHAT TO DO NOW. NOT ONLY AM I FINANCIALLY HURTING BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT TRIPS TO THE SHOP AND THE LOSS OF VALUE, MEANING I WILL NEVER GET OUT FROM UNDER THIS CAR, BUT I AM LEGITIMATELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY LIFE, AND FORD DOESN'T CARE. I DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS DEATH TRAP BUT AS IT'S WORTH FAR LESS THAN WHAT I OWE, I CAN'T GET ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE MY FUNDS ARE WRAPPED UP IN THIS ONE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I MOVED GEARSHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, CAR ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY. I DO NOT BELIEVE I ACCIDENTALLY USED THE ACCELERATOR, THIS OCCURED IN PARKING LOT.AFTER MOVING ABOUT 20 FEET I HIT A HEAVY GATE WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO CAR INCLUDING BENT CHASSIS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. AAA LOADED THE VEHICLE TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT WORKING IT SHOWED A FAULT. NO FUEL WAS GETTING TO THE ENGINE, THE CAR WAS ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED. I TOLD THEM THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE WORKS FOR THIS PROBLEM, STILL NO HELP. NO INJURIES INVOLVED.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A CAR FROM THEM. IT IS IN MY HUSBANDS NAME. MY HUSBAND IS NOT FROM THIS COUNTRY AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THINGS MEAN IN THEIR CONTEXT. THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO US AS IS WITH A BRANDED TITLE. WE ACCEPTED THAT. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS SOLD TO US WITH BROKEN PARTS AND THE REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE TO IT WERE NOT DONE TO STANDARD OEM SPECIFICATIONS. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO US WITH A BROKEN FRONT AXEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HAD THIS COMPLETELY BROKEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE WERE IN A WRECK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. THE CAR IS NOT FIXED AT THIS TIME AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT DUE TO THE PAPERS THAT WERE SIGNED BY MY HUSBAND THAT OF WHICH I AM SURE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS SIGNING BEING SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER BOUGHT A CAR BEFORE. I DO T FEEL THAT THIS CAR LOT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SELL THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION EVEN AS IS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY RIGHTS HERE. THANK YOU!

STRUCTURE:BODY
ALL 4 DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED ON 23 MAY 2015 UNDER RECALL #15S16. AT THAT TIME, THE CAR HAD 44,592 MILES. ON MONDAY, 23 APRIL 2018, THE DRIVER'S DOOR REFUSED TO LATCH. WHEN YOU TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IF FLEW OPEN AGAIN. THE CAR NOW HAS 66754 MILES. IT SEEMS THAT THE ORIGINAL LATCHES WERE BETTER THAN THE REPLACEMENT LATCHES. FORTUNATELY, THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE THE HOUSE. WE DUCT TAPED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE, NO RECALL, MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE REPLACEMENT, FORD DENIES RESPONSIBILITY. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS I CASE OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TO FIX IT, IT IS COSTING ME OVER $350.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I'VE ONLY OWNED MY FIESTA FOR 2 YEARS AND NOW MY CAR WON'T MOVE WHEN I AM IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AS I STEP ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE. BEFORE THIS, MY CAR WOULD JERK FORWARD WHEN I WOULD GO TO ACCELERATE AND ACT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD BEFORE TO GET THE RECALLS FIXED BECAUSE MY PASSENGER DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEY FIXED THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH RECALL BUT NOW I'M HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN.
