FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
NOT SURE IF IT'S THE FUEL SYSTEM OR THE POWER TRAIN BUT I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR! THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND HAS READ A CODE FOR A VALVE. MY CAR IS A 2017 AND WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY AFTER I ADD GAS! I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS THE ENGINE VALVE AND HAVE HAD NO LUCK FINDING ANYONE TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY! FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE!

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN BRONX AND THEY TOLD I HAVE A CLUTCH PROBLEM, PLUS TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THEY DONT COVER THE RECALL, ACCORDING THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THE DAMAGE IS INTERNAL. BUT THE RECALL FOR FORD FIESTA 2011 EXISTING BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION FAIL. CAN YOU TELL ME FOR SURE WHY THEY DON'T APPROVE AND IF IS A COMPANY MISTAKE THEY SHOULD BUY YOUR CAR OR TO REPLACE IT?

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING SPACE OR GOING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE THE CAR WILL JERK AND/OR NOT MOVE. TAPPING THE GAS DOESN'T HELP. ALSO WHEN TURNING AROUND CORNERS WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL THE WHEEL IS ENTIRELY STRAIGHTENED.

I CAN ROLL DOWN THE PASSENGER WINDOW FOR VISIBILITY BUT CAN'T DO THIS FOR THE BACK, WHICH SUCKS. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO HAVE TINTS REDONE. WHAT DO I DO IN THIS SITUATION? *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS
THE DOOR ON MY 2013 FORD FIESTA OPEN!! MY DAUGHTER WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN TO MERGE ON TO THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN AND ALL THE THINGS SHE HAD FELL OUT! SUPPOSE MY LITTLE NIECES WERE IN THERE OR THE DOOR FLIES OPEN AND A CAR HITS IT! I LOOKED UP HOW TO FIX WHEN I CAME ACROSS A RECALL STATING THE DOORS UNLATCH!! RECALL: 20S30 IS THE RECALL; I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THEY DON?T HAVE THE ?KITS? TO FIX ALL 4 DOORS RIGHT NOW AND THEY WON?T HAVE THEM UNTIL SEPTEMBER !! IN THE MEANTIME I COULD HAVE ONE DOOR FIXED FOR ABOUT $500! I COULD SAVE MY INVOICE AND ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT AFTER ALL DOORS HAVE BEEN FIXED; AFTER RECALL IS PERFORMED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I FIX ONE DOOR WHAT?S TO SEE ANOTHER DOOR JUST OPEN AND SOMETHING TRAGIC OCCURS! I NEED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE; WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS 4-5 TIMES A WEEK; NOT TO MENTION WORK AS WELL! WE NEED SOME ASSISTANCE , SOMEONE THAT IS WILLING TO ADDRESS AND RECTIFY THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 74K ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. YOU ACCELERATE AND IT LIKE THE WHOLE CAR SHIMMIES AND IT JUST DOESN'T WANT TO GO. THEN WHEN UR DRIVING IT WHEN SWITCHING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2AND YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT BECAUSE IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO KICK OVER. SOMETIMES IT REACHES A LITTLE OVER 4K IF YOU HAVE TO SLOW A BIT SO IT WILL KICK TO 2ND. ALSO WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AND GO INTO A TURN, IT FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE TRYING TO GO BUT THE WHOLE CAR SHIMMIES AND NOW A METALLIC CLANGING FROM TIME TO TIME. THE VEHICLE GETS REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND HAD A TUNE UP ON MAY 30TH 2020. *TR

ON FRIDAY JUNE 19TH MY SON AND I WERE EXITING A PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING CENTER. AS WE WERE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE DRIVETRAIN IN MY 2016 FORD FIESTA WENT OUT. LEAVING US STUCK IN TRAFFIC AND NEARLY GETTING REAR ENDED. SOME OTHER MOTORIST HELPED US PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO THE SHOPPING CENTER. I CALLED MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY V.I.N. NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. BECAUSE IT CAME FROM A DIFFERENT PLANT. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE, AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. NOW, I MAY HAVE TO COME UP WITH $3,500 TO $4,000 TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. *TR

ENGINE
A RECALL ABOUT THE COOLING SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY WAS ISSUED FOR CARS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY. I AM NOW HAVING THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T SHOWING UP ON THE ACTIVE RECALL LIST FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND I CANT GET IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE THE RECALL ISN'T ON THIS CAR. IT IS HAPPENING TO IT THOUGH AND WAS REPORTED ON 2014 FORD FIESTAS. DON'T KNOW WHY MINE ISN'T LISTED. IT OVERHEATS WHEN I AM IDLE BUT NOT IN MOTION. WHEN I COME TO A STOP, IN TRAFFIC OR AT A STOPLIGHT, THE AC GETS HOT AND THE OVERHEAT LIGHT POPS ON. WHEN IM MOVING THIS GOES AWAY AND THE AC GETS COLD AGAIN. WORRIED THIS IS BECAUSE OF DEFECT NOT JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR
