ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED OFF. I WAS DRIVING DURING NORMAL CONDITIONS, ON 12/09/2019 IN FLORIDA. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND THE VEHICLE GAVE NO INDICATIONS THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. I HAD JUST HAD MY BATTERY TESTED A FEW DAYS PRIOR AND IT WAS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE THIS TIME AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN WHEN I TRIED. IT STALLED A SECOND TIME BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MERGE BACK INTO TRAFFIC. IT RESTARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE RECALL LISTS FOR FORD AND THE 2014-2015 FORD FIESTA IS ON THE LIST WITH THE ISSUE MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. WILL THERE BE A RECALL ON MY VIN? THE CURRENT RECALL DEALS WITH THE FUEL PUMP STALLING THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL NUMBER RELATING TO THE FUEL PUMP PLATING IS 14S30. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 15V005000

MY VEHICLE WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION LURCHED FORWARD ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS STATIONARY WITH MY FOOT FULLY COMPRESSING THE BRAKE. THEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY ENGINE AREA STARTED MAKING A STRANGE NOISE AND I LURCHED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET ALMOST COLLIDING WITH A VEHICLE IN THE INTERSECTION. THIS WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD IN AN INTERSECTION. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE RECENT TRANSMISSION ISSUES FORD HAS ADMITTED TO.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2012 FORD FIESTA AND I REALIZED AFTER BUYING IT THAT THE ODOMETER ISN'T WORKING AT ALL. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I START THE CAR, THE 1RT GEAR WON'T GO INTO SHIFT SO THE CAR STUTTERS AND SHAKES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER BUT THEY INSISTED THAT THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A CONSUMER CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FORD DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS BUILT INTO THESE MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE CONTACTED A LAWYER AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM HIM. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. P.S: I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PHOTOS OR DOCUMENTS YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO UPLOAD DO PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH MORE INFORMATION WITH THIS REGARD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE EXPERIENCED REPEATED AND FREQUENT PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE: SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON DAILY, OFTEN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR JUST AFTER I BEGIN ACCELERATING; THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY (HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE AT 97,000 MILES AT GREAT EXPENSE) AND SIMPLY STOPS WORKING AT UNEXPECTED TIMES (E.G. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL AND WON'T MOVE, SHUDDERS, ETC. I HAVE TO TURN MY FIESTA OFF AND RESTART TO GET IT TO MOVE).. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. I READ THAT FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THESE ISSUES FROM DATE OF MANUFACTURE, AND HAS NOT PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ENGINEERS OF THE FIESTA ARE NOW GOING PUBLIC. WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE? WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED, OR WORSE, TO GET REDRESS FOR WHAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS AWARE OF, AND COVERED UP, EVEN WHILE THESE VEHICLES WERE BEING MANUFACTURED? THIS IS A CONTINUING ISSUE, NOT A SINGLE OR EVEN A 20 TIME OCCURANCE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ISSUE IN QUESTION INVOLVES THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM. THERE WAS PREVIOUSLY A RECALL ISSUED FOR FORD FIESTA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2012 AND 2014. MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 MODEL AND THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS RECALL WAS PUT INTO EFFECT EITHER IN 2014 OR 2015 WHEN THE ISSUE BECAME PROMINENT AND PRONOUNCED. THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT AND/OR ISSUE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR JUST DECIDED NOT TO LATCH TWO DAYS AGO WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK AFTER RETRIEVING ITEMS FROM THE BACK SEAT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING TO SEE IF IT COULD BE RECTIFIED AS WELL AS FIND OUT IF ANY ACTIVE RECALLS WERE PRESENTLY UNREPAIRED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS FOR THE DOOR LATCH SYSTEM, HOWEVER IT IS FEASIBLE AND RECOMMENDED THAT ANOTHER RECALL BE ISSUED IN LIGHT OF MY RECENT DOOR LATCH ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. I NEVER TESTED THE HORN WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE, AND ONLY DISCOVERED THIS FACT 2 WEEKS AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE.. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY DID A THOROUGH SAFETY CHECK WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. I SIGNED THE 'SOLD AS IS' WAIVER SO I DON'T HAVE MUCH RECOURSE HERE, BUT THE DEALER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT MEET THE BASIC SAFETY STANDARDS.
