ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING THE SUMMER IN HOUSTON MY A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED AND PRODUCED A DISTURBING ODOR WITHIN THE CAR. IT INHERENTLY HAS CAUSED DRIVING DURING THE SUMMER TO BECOME VERY TAXING DUE TO THE HEAT EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BECOME DIZZY DUE TO THE HEAT. A FEW DAYS LATER I HAD 2 BLEND MOTORS ALSO FAIL WITH THE A/C SYSTEM THAT NOW CAUSE INTERMITTENT AND LOUD CLICKING NOISES THAT CAN BE DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY FIESTA EVER SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I GOT IT BACK IN 2015. WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR STARTS TO JERK LIKE ITS NOT TRANSITIONING INTO THE NEXT GEAR CORRECTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND EVEN THE FORD IN MY AREA AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ONE OF MY CO WORKERS HAS THE SAME CAR AND SAYS THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO HER ALL THE TIME AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY MORE SO WHEN YOU ARE A STOP AND BEGIN TO SPEED UP. ITS A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING AND IT MAKES FOR A BAD RIDE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR AND YOU ALL START JERKING BECAUSE OF THE CAR. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE !!!

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS SLOW TRAFFIC, AND UPON SLOWING DOWN, I FELT A LURCH AND A HIGH PITCH. THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE, AND UPON ARRIVING TO WORK A FEW MINUTES AWAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO SMELL BAD. I PARKED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A MECHANIC, AND HE SUBLET THE JOB TO A FORD TECH WHO IS NOW SAYING THAT THE TRANSMISSION BLEW UP. SO NOW A TRANSMISSION, TRANS COMPUTER, CLUTCHES, AND FORK HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THEY ARE CHARGING $5250 FOR THE JOB. THE CAR SHOWED NOTHING WRONG ASIDE FROM THE WEIRD LURCH. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO TROUBLE CODES. THE ONLY THING I SAW WAS AFTER PARKING THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON, A POPUP FLASHED ON THE SCREEN SAYING TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN. A SMALL PLASTIC PART SNAPPED OFF AND NOW THE DOOR WON'T SHUT, OR IF IT DOES SHUT, POPS OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SOLVED WITH A RECALL, RECALL 15S16, COVERING CERTAIN 2014 FIESTAS. FORD SAYS MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, BUT IT HAS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED ON RECALLED VEHICLES. MY DOOR IS NOW PERMANENTLY TIED SHUT AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $550 TO REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STILL DEFECTIVE, AND WILL THE REST OF MY DOOR LATCHES ALSO BREAK NEEDING $550 EACH TO REPAIR?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO CLOSE THE DOOR, BUT IT WOULD NOT LATCH. THE CONTACT'S SON HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE DRIVING TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT TIED THE REAR DRIVER'S DOOR WITH A PIECE OF ROPE AND DROVE TO THE DEALER (LEGACY FORD, 413 INDUSTRIAL BLVD, MCDONOUGH, GA 30253) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS FAULTY. THIS WAS THE SECOND DOOR LATCH FAILURE WITHIN A YEAR. DURING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING. GREENE FORD (2365 BROWNS BRIDGE RD, GAINESVILLE, GA 30504) STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES AND, TO THE CONTACT'S UNDERSTANDING, THE RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE PAPERWORK SHOWED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PERFORMED, BUT THE SERIAL NUMBER WAS THE ORIGINAL DOOR LATCH THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE.
