My vehicle was serviced by elk grove ford service dept only 250 miles ago and the vehicle is back in for more service. time before did the same thing said the problem was this and when they repaired they called and said this is now wrong, i keep asking why no answer. Now the vehicle had to be taken in and i believe because i have put in complaints before that they are f with me and messing with me i told them elk grove ford randy bapatista that the engine light came on and the wrench light on the engine came on, they called me and told me around march 30th that it needed this and that, they came back now and said the power train control moduel is needed and they cant find any part for it i found a part the advisor said the parts person looked half a day i dont believe them as see that the pcm can maybe reset they have not said to me if they tried reseting the pcm and i would like the part number. i feel i am being set up for more charges as if they would have check the wrench lamp i would not have two charges, they keep repairing items that i believe did not need to be replacement as the plugs were working find.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST engine failure due to known issue with engine block design. I had an extended warranty on the vehicle that was purchased with the vehicle from Key Chevrolet in Middletown. After experiencing a piston flutter, I took the vehicle to them under the warranty for repair, however, they could not locate the problem and recommended that I visit a Ford dealer. (9/2/22) Prior to the failure I attempted to have a recall repair performed with multiple ford dealerships throughout the state (Tasca, Monaco, Gengras, Dowling) and was told that they cannot currently get the parts to perform the repair. (Sep 2022) I contacted a recall rep after the failure and I was told it would be 4-6 weeks before a dealer could even look at it and that I could have a private mechanic (I chose to take it to Firestone in Middletown) repair and apply for reimbursement through the recall. I chose that route, however, after $1500 in work, Firestone said that the head was warped too badly & the piston walls were pitted and the engine couldn't be repaired, it needed to be replaced. After contacting both a rep at the Ford Recall center & the service department at Monaco Ford - I was told that towing the vehicle in a mid-repair state to the dealership was acceptable. Firestone did ask if they needed to put the engine back together, and I specifically called and asked, now this is the reason they are denying the claim. Ford has issued recalls for this issue, but refuses to correct the issue with my vehicle because it arrived in a mid-repair state - please see attached emails with executive customer service.

None of the recalls were ever done to my vehicle. Mailing problems didn-€™t receive notification in mail. Door handle fell off and window handles coming off. Tag light glitching and in car press light doing the same. Crack plastic parts of car cracked years ago. Strange engine leak. Door panels coming off and panel around gear broke a year after I got the car. I sent complaint two years ago. I have not heard from anyone.

Driving on highway engine began to overheat and sputter and began losing power.

- Jacksonville, FL, USA

While driving the engine started to surge, misfire and then for no apparently reason the engine shut-off and would not restart. After about 15-20 minutes it fired back up and ran momentarily and then died again.had vehicle towed to dealership, but they claim they can not duplicate the same problem. Do not feel safe driving the car anymore, unless they can resolve this problem. A safety hazard and should be looked into further by the Ford Motor Co.

Car is overheating constantly

- Orlando, FL, USA

My vehicle, after less than 75K miles began to have overheating problems. I had various parts replaced until finally it was determined that the head gasket had blown on it. After researching forums and sites where other owners of the same vehicle or vehicles with the same type of engine, were experiencing issues much like mine. The engine head it made of aluminium and the engine block is made of cat iron. This fact coupled with high cylinder pressures and a naturally high engine operating temperature results in various parts failing to to excessive pressure and heating. Although Ford has acknowledged this issue by updating their replacement components, they have not addressed the safety or monetary impact of those who have had to repair a known problem in their engines.

The transmission on this Ford Fiesta was defective from the day it was built. Ford has been sued and must take care of the billions of customers who bought these vehicles. The engine is not equipt to handle this transmission and eventually blows the engine, before all that happens the transmission stalls, and leaves you on the side of the road. I have been treated horribly by the dealer who sold me the car. They know this is a lemon and yet they continued to sell this car. Look at the vargas vs Ford transmission case

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.

I've had this vehicle for 10 months. Lately I?ll be sitting at a stoplight or drive through and the light that says it's overheating comes on and if I don't turn it off it will shut off itself. The fluids are all full. Also, the transmission has been giving me trouble for a few months and it's getting worse. I'll press the gas slowly and the car jumps. I have 4 more years to pay on this car! I'm very disappointed on this car's performance

Engine failure while driving. Due to defective material or bad design of semi rigid coolant hose allowed system to boil out coolant slowly and damage engine by the time any temperature indication, and if gauge not noticed a right time, coolant boils out leaving the temp senor in air, that doesn't show as over temperature. Exactly as described in the following link from Ford's uk web, same engine and coolant system: Https://www.Ford.co.uk/owner/resources-and-support/faqs (scroll down to see the "ecoboost 1.0 engine issues) dealer determined entire engine must be replaced. Can only talk to Ford customer care who only take info and send on. Dealer says they can only do the same, Ford told dealer since I'm "not original owner" they won't do anything. Replacement part exactly the same design and material. Many have had this issue. This is a defective product and remedy should not be contingent on owner, it is the product that needs fixing regardless of who owns it.

There are issues with the ecoboost 1.0 motor and cooling system. Though not many were sold in the us, in the uk there are many and the issues are well known and "owned" by Ford uk. Https://www.Ford.co.uk/owner/resources-and-support/faqs and select the "1.0 ecoboost engine issue" tab... my engine suffered catastrophic failure due to cooling system failure, exactly as lined out on their web site in the issue tab. The material use to make the thin degas line becomes brittle when subjected to high heat, as cooling systems are wont to be, leading to coolant being boiled out. Their response was that since I'm not the original owner, purchased from a Ford dealer though, that they are not responsible for the failure that is owned up to on their uk site. Car towed to Ford dealer where it took approx 2-weeks to even get back with "water in motor, replace" quoted over $5K. Called Ford Inc. They say talk to dealer, dealer says they can't do anything, talk to Ford Inc. They did not redesign the part, they did not notify that it was an almost certain point of failure. This issue would have been so easy to side step. But hiding behind "not original owner" for a engineering defect that they admit to on the uk website smacks of "your are too small." Only sold a small number of these engines in the us but many many more in the uk. Suspect that changes the calculus of how they handle responsibility. This wasn't some random failure, they knew it was an issue, that there was a more than off chance that it would result in engine damage, and what owner number a car has shouldn't matter. Some notice and solution should have been offered.

While driving the temperature was at the highest level without any warning from the sensors. I turned around and went home and let it sit for a few days. Car would not start. Towed it to the dealership and they said the coolant leaked into the cylinder head and I would need a new engine. I have read other accounts where car stalled or caught on fire. This has had more attention in the uk and Ford is doing something about it without issuing a recall but not doing here in the us.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the coolant system on the engine failed several times. Also, while driving 70 mph, the vehicle began to lose power and stalled without warning. On another occasion, while exiting the highway, the engine completely failed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. When the failure initially occurred, the contact took the vehicle to bob davidson Ford Lincoln (1845 E joppa rd, baltimore, md 21234, 410-661-6400) where it was diagnosed that the head gasket was defective and a new engine was needed.

My car was idling very rough at start, and was misfiring severely. No check engine lights were coming on. The problem would subside after driving for a couple of minutes, but if the car sat and was allowed to cool for any period of time, the problem would return. I immediately took it to a service center at which point the car the car would not start anymore. I went to start the car in the parking lot and it would turn over but never fire and start. After investigation the shop found the cylinder head had cracked and my spark plugs & cylinders were all full of coolant due to a leak. After minimal research I found this is a known issue of Ford ecoboost engines, and there was a nationwide recall in the uk due to this issue causing cars to combust into flames while driving. However, when I contacted Ford they told me there was no recall in effect for the same cars in the United States. My car is less than 5 years old and has a catastrophic engine failure that will require a complete rebuild, and could have caused a fire in the engine compartment if I did not immediately take it for service. The shop is building a quote for me that I will upload once available.
