STRUCTURE:BODY
FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR. ALL DOORS WERE LOCKED AT THE TIME. THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER CLOSE PROPERLY. THE INCIDENT NEARLY LED TO AN ACCIDENT AND DRIVER HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TRY AND CLOSE THE DOOR. APPARENTLY THE CURRENT RECALL DOESN'T COVER OUR SPECIFIC 2014 FORD FIESTA EVEN THOUGH MANY 2014 FIESTAS ARE COVERED BY THE RECALL.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY CAR SINCE 3 MONTHS AFTER MY PURCHASE. EVERYTIME I TAKE THE CAR IN TO BE SERVICED THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING "NOTHING IS WRONG" BUT I HAVE MY CARS VEHICLE HEALTH REPORTS THE PAST YEARS AND THEY ALL SAY THE RECALL IS AN ERROR MY CAR HAS LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD HAVING TO BE TOWED, ALSO HAD THEM SUGGEST BUYING A NEW BATTERY AFTER A YEAR IS RIDICULOUS, ALSO THE FAN MOTOR ON THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE STILL OVERHEATS TODAY AS WE SPEAK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN A AWFUL WORRY EVERYDAY DRIVING WILL IT OVERHEAT OR IS THE TRANSMISSION GOING TO GO TODAY? I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. FORD HAS ALSO ACCEPTED THEIR PART IN THE TRANSMISSION BY OFFERING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FROM 36000 TO 150000. THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM. FORD IS HAVING ME TAKE MY CAR TO DEALERS ALL OVER TRYING TO GET THEM TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION ALL OF THE DEALERS SAY THE SAME THING NOTHING IS WRONG. I WOULD LIKE THE PEACE OF MIND I DESERVE FROM MY NEW CAR PURCHASE I PAY MY PAYMENT EVERY MONTH WHY CANT I HAVE THAT PEACE OF MIND? I HAVE TO LEAVE WORK EVERYTIME THEY WANT ME TO TAKE THE CAR ELSEWHERE AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR PEACE OF MIND. WHY IS IT NO ONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. A LEMON IS A LEMON AND ANOTHER VEHICLE SHOULD BE OFFERED OR SOMETHING THIS IS NOT RIGHT. 2 YEARS OF THIS CONSTANT BATTLE OVER WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, WHY HAVE THE VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT OPTION IF YOU WANT ME TO IGNORE WHAT IT IS TELLING ME> I DON'T GET IT.

2014 FORD FIESTA 1.6L WITH " POWER SHIFT " DUAL CLUTCH 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2016, USED WITH 36,675 MILES FORD FACTORY CERTIFIED ( CP0 ), WITHIN 1200 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AND SHUDDER UP HILLS, DEALER PREFORMED AN ADAPTIVE RELEARN ON THE TCM, CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SHUDDER AND GRINDING NOISE IN REVERSE, THEN AS WELL AS IN FORWARD GEARS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AND 10,00 MILES AFTER PURCHASE OF THE CAR. TOOK CAR BACK INTO DEALER AND DEALER STATED THE CLUTCHES FAILED THE REQUIRED TEST TO DETERMINE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCHES AGAIN. ( CLUTCHES WERE REPLACED AT 28K MILES WITH PREVIOUS OWNER). DEALER STATED THEY WOULD ORDER THE CLUTCHES AND NOTIFY WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS AUGUST 11TH 2016 THE CAR HAD 47,268 MILES AT TIME OF SERVICE. THE DEALER NEVER ISSUED A RENTAL CAR EVEN WITH A PROBLEM AFFECTING THE TRANSMISSION WAS DETERMINED. THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPEN TODAY AUGUST 21ST 2016 THAT WARRANTED THIS COMPLAINT IS AS FOLLOWS. WHILE STOPED AT A STOP SIGN ON A RESIDENTIAL ROADWAY SHORTLY AFTER STARTING CAR, MY CAR FAILED TO SAY STOPED AND LUNGED INTO THE ROADWAY AND BROADSIDED A CAR AND THEN EVEN WITH THE BRAKES FULLY DECOMPRESSED THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AGAIN STRIKING THE CAR AGAIN AFTER TRYING TO TURN AWAY FROM THE CAR TO PREVENT THE IMPACT. IMPACT WAS MINOR AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSING THE MOVEMENT AND MY BRAKES WERE FULLY DECOMPRESSED. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ADDRESSED THE INVOLUNTARY ENGAGEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE ISSUES OF LURCHING FORWARD WITHOUT USER INPUT. THERE IS NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. TO DATE NOTHING THAT FORD HAS DONE HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY AND THIS HAS CAUSED AN EXCESSIVE DEPRECIATION OF VALUE IN THIS VEHICLE. I PERSONALLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE OPERATING THIS CAR.

I GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE TCM. HAD THE CLUTCH MODULE REPLACED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. STILL SHUTTERS WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. ALMOST COSTED ME AN ACCIDENT WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT DIDNT WANT TO ENGAGE. AFTER THIS CAR IS PAID OFF... I WILL NEVER BUY AN AMERICAN CAR AGAIN. BTW. FORD TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL THE TCM FAILS COMPLETELY.

PURCHASED CAR IN JUNE 2014 AND IN SEPTEMBER 2014 I BEGAN SEEING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE RECALL EVERY TIME I DID A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT TOOK IT IN EVERY TIME THE REPORT CAME BACK, EVERY TIME THE FORD PLACE I BOUGHT IT SAID THEY COULD DO NONTHING TO HELP IN EARLY MARCH THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY QUIT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED ONLY TO HAVE THE FORD PLACE TELL ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE CAR WAS BARELY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND SO I DID AND THEY SAID THAT I COULD KEEP BRINGING THE CAR BACK BUT FORD WOULD NOT LET THE FIX THE MODULE DUE TO WHATEVER. THEY DID EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 36K TO 60 K WHICH LEADS ME TO THIS POINT I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 MORE TIMES EACH TIME I HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR AND IT NEVER GETS FIXED THE MILAGE IS AT 59 K NOW AND I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER IN ANOTHER TOWN TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND I CAME BACK TO WORK AND DID ANOTHER VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT AND IT IS STILL SHOWING AS A FACTORY RECALL I WILL UPLOAD THE REPORT TO YOU. ALSO SO THE CAR HAS HAD TO HAVE A NEW FAN PUT ON IT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR OVERHEATING I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE ALL THIS WORK DONE THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME MORE PAIN THAN I CAN DEAL WITH. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE THE CAR AND AM UPSIDE DOWN I HAVE ONLY THIS VEHICLE AND MUST WORK AND HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH HORRIBLE LUCK WITH A NEW CAR THIS CAR IS THE MOST I HAVE EVER SPENT ALMOST $17000. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING. WHEN THE CAR BROKE DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DO NOTHING I WAS STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY, I HAVE COMPLAIN WITH FORD AND THE DEALER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND NOTHING EVER GETS DONE.

THE REAR PASSANGER DOOR FLUNG OPEN WHILE WE WERE GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY. THIS IS USUALLY WHERE MY SON SITS BUT HR HAPPENED TO SIT ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT DAY. MY WIFE HELD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE WE GOT IT HOME. IT WAS THE WEEKEND SO WE WRAPPED THE SEAT BELT AROUND THE HANDLE AND LATCHED (BUCKLED) IT TO GET IT TO THE DEALER MONDAY MORNING. IT WAS TERRIFYING. TURNS OUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 2 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE END OF THE RECALL DATES BUT IS CLEARLY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED FORD AND THEY STATED TO CONTACT YOU, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY GAVE #CAS-10138364 AS A CASE NUMBER AND #15S16 AS A RECALL NUMBER TO GIVE TO YOU.
