ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DISASTER FROM DAY ONE. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT FORD IS AWARE OF HAVE ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. THE CAR BUCKS AND CARRIES ON ALL THE TIME. WHILE STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT YOU PUSH ON GAS AND IT DOESN'T MOVE THEM ALL THE SUDDEN IT DARTS INTO TRAFFIC. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY. THEN 2 WEEKS AGO ALL THE SUDDEN CAR OVERHEATS AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES DIES CAUSING $2000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. IM TOLD THESE ARE COMMON AND IM LUCKY IT DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. WHAT'S NEXT. FYI, THE LIGHTS STILL DON'T WORK WHICH CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD. WHY IS THIS CAR NOT RECALLED??

POWER TRAIN
TAKATA RECALL - MY FORD FIESTA THAT I BOUGHT IN OCTOBER OF 2017 ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY GOING OUT. WHEN I ACCELERATE TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY IT FEELS LIKE I'M NOT MOVING AND MY WHEEL WILL SOMETIMES JERK TO THE SIDE. MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO VIBRATES WHEN I'M IN PARK OR BRAKING. I CAN ALSO FEEL THE VIBRATION ON THE PEDAL. I TRY TO TAKE IT EASY ON THE GAS BUT THE TRANSMISSION STILL JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. I KNOW THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE RECALLED JULY OF 2017 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER.

"TAKATA RECALL" OUT OF THE BLUE, MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE ANYMORE. I TOOK IT TO A PLACE TO HAVE IT PUT ON THE MACHINE, AND THE REPORT CAME BACK THAT IT WAS MY CLUTCH FORK AND CLUTCH POSITION B, THAT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT AND CHECKED. WHEN I STARTED CALLING AROUND TO DIFFERENT CAR SHOPS, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL MY EXACT SAME 2011 FORD FIESTA AND THAT THE RECALL WAS DEALING WITH THE SAME TROUBLES I'M HAVING. MY CAR ONLY HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE "LATCH" THIS ALSO HAS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR SOME 2014 FORD FIESTA'S BUT THIS ONE IS NOT ON THE LIST. WAS STATIONARY BUT ONCE THE DOOR WAS OPEN COULD NOT BE CLOSED DUE TO THE DOOR LATCH NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL FOR THIS VIN

WHILE STATIONARY AND IN NEUTRAL MY CAR WILL STALL AND NOT TURN BACK ON. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND THAT ISN'T THE ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, MOSTLY WHILE WAITING AT LIGHTS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I'VE HAD TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF AN INTERSECTION, THROUGH A LIGHT. THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON UNTIL AN HOUR OR MORE HAS PAST. THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON SEPTEMBER 2ND 2018. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. SINCE THEN IT'S HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. IT WILL FROM TIME TO TIME STALL OUT. NOW IT CRANK BUT WON'T START UP. YOU CAN BE DRIVING OR IDLE AND THE CAR SHAKES AND STALLS OUT. DUE TO THIS IT CAUSED MY CAR TO OVERHEAT. MY CAR WILL CRANK BUT NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE OTHER ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IT RAN HOT. SO HOT TO THE POINT THAT IT CRACK THE RADIATOR HOSE. I REPLACED. THE CAR WOULD RUN HOT IF YOU SAT IDLE WHILE DRIVING FOR TOO LONG.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR WILL STUTTER EVERY TIME AFTER FUELING UP AND SOMETIMES STALL WHILE PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DEFECT SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION YEARS AGO AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE FOLLOWED THERE REFUELING INSTRUCTIONS PER THERE MANUAL SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR AND THIS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, THIS DEFECT CREATES A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION.
