The right side passenger door latch is not working.the door will not close.. we were in a parking lot. And when I tried to close the door.it wasn't closing?? so I had to hold the door close.while trying to get back home.
Takata recall I had an issue with my door latches. While I had my vehicle in motion, a notification came up that my door suddenly open. I was able to get out and attempt to close my rear door, unfortunately, it would not stay shut forcing me to drive with it opened. I was was not injured but this is a safety concern. I am single and do not have children therefore hardly anyone is in the backseat of my vehicle.
While driving, speakers start to crackle loudly. Its actually startling. Then the radio doesn't work until the vehicle is turned off and then on again.
My 2014 Ford Fiesta, which I bought used, was stationary, I opened the rear driver side door and when I went to close it the door would not close properly due to the latch. Dealership will not cover it because my vehicle was made in a place they claim was not affected by the problem they were recalling other cars for.

Since buying the vehicle brand new off lot in 2014, I had minor issues with acceleration. Now my warranty is long expired and the issues are worse. I've taken it into garages multiple times with most saying it's normal, the car has to get used to your driving, and also some saying they couldn't replicate problem. It acts up everyone it's driven now even after one of the service bullitens for the tcm. Constantly shutters jerks grinds and bumps has trouble accelerating going up hills and from a stop it's worse in stop-and-go traffic
This car is very dangerous to own and drive. The tcm transmission control module.is always failing. It has went out many time and I have almost died several times over.it has destroyed the clutches many times as well. Went to cross a road get half way through and loss power and not go any where, stalls out in traffic and no starts need to merge with traffic on highway it will let go as you merge then you get ran over again this car has nearly killed us many times over.it has been repaired many times for the same reason.this has occurred many times intown traffic and highway traffic and setting still.I bought this car brand new and it was only five months into owning it it went to hell
I am the original owner of my 2014 Ford Fiesta S hatchback. The vehicle has a 5-speed manual transmission and 33350 miles +/- on it. I have two issues with the car: 1) the second and reverse gears (only) have "popped" out numerous times under torque. This occurs only when decelerating, accelerating, and occasionally while reversing slowly out of the garage etc. The latest event was December 29, 2016 travelling down a short road. The second gear popped out and the vehicle immediately began to accelerate toward the embankment. Each event surprises and frightens me until I realize what has occurred and respond accordingly. 2) the second issue is something is producing a clunking in the lr pillar (between the lr passenger door and the hatchback). Or so I imagine. It sounds like a hatch strut is hanging loose from the top connection and swinging around inside the hollow of the pillar. However, both hatch struts are fully accounted for and appear to be attached as designed. The noise is ongoing and coincides with vehicle motion, especially on curves and rough ground.
Rear passenger door latch failure. When closing door, door would not latch. According to mechanic at dealership, the issue is the same failure as the existing safety recall for other Ford vehicles.
My car surges forward almost squealing tires, it makes noise it clunks out at stop feels like my tranny is going to drop and doesn't shift correctly. Transmission is obviously in safe I am afraid I am going to hit someone from behind the way it surges at times it also sputters and moves down hill when stopped drags when driving up hill. I had to take it in they replaced modular and tranny seal. But it still happens.
Vehicle has 4 doors. I was parked at my daughters school in the city street. Its the right back door, my daughter opened it, when she tried to close it it wouldn't close, so I tried to close it but it wouldn't, so I checked the mechanism on the door and it was loose. I had to tie the door to the seat. No matter what I did I couldent close it.
The doors will not lock, keep coming open. Big safety violation. Other 2014 Ford have been recalled. This one should be included. Should be fixed for free. Only have had vehicle about a year and a half. Have had other model cars for 10 years or more. Never had these problems with them. Will not lock when stationary and doors open when turning.
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.
Takata recall, I purchase this car June 3, 2016 and I notice that there is a noise coming from either the front or the back wheel there is a roaring sound when the wheels is turning. I looked at the car fax and it shows that there is nothing wrong with this car. I took it back to the car lot and they said they can't find anything wrong, but sometimes when I try to take off there is a roaring sound and it hesitate or sometimes it won't I'm afraid that this car will cause problems when driving.
Hi, recently I bought a 14 Ford Fiesta and at first I loved it. But now im always terrified to drive it. It has 40,000 miles and the tramission is messing up. It will not accelerate somtimes. Somtimes in dangerous situations which is terriying. When accelerating the car jerks and studders its embarassing and also scary. Ive signed multiple petitions on the subject and im ready for the recall. Pleaseeeeeeeee help us Ford Fiesta/Focus owners! this is a extremely dangerous situation and Ford doesnt seem to think so. Car also doesnt start properly accelerating till 30+ mph. Make Ford recall all Ford Fiesta/Focus cars from 2011 to present! you will save lives.
My mother in law and I both own a Ford Fiesta and a Ford Focus.. mine bought brand new in 2014 and hers used but gently used and we've had problems with them since we bought them. We have both tried bringing them into Ford many times to get fixed and they both tell us it's the computers.. that they need to be reset. Every time they reset the computers and we continually have to take them back in.. even when the transmission light lights up, all they do is reset the computers. The last time I took my Fiesta in, it was still shaking when I drove it to check on it. The man at Ford told me that they all do that and it's normal. A few days later, I had to take it back in because it stalled. When it finally started, when I put it into drive, it reversed and would not drive forward. We took it to Ford, they reset it and blamed it on the computers. A few days later, the transmission light lighted up and it stalled on my husband. I need a solution to this issue because they keep sending us home without fixing it. What should we do?
My car has had a shimmy/shaking at 20-30 mph. I was told it was the computer needing reset numerous times. The car, months later, went in for a new clutch and then it started to cut out at 30 mph and engine light came one. I was told 3 different things that might be wrong. The car cut out going up state St. In town going about 30 mph. Cars beeping and going around me. Was scarey. Took car back to dealership and has been there since November 27, 2015. I have no car and no options since car is a year old. Something needs to be done.
My transmission is bad. The clutch part is not functioning properly. I am unable to accelerate properly. I have to make sure there is a long gap to pull out in front of anybody because it takes that long for me to accelerate to the speed limit. As well, when I do press down to accelerate, the car will stall and I have an automatic car.
