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.

Front door on passenger side will not latch, . mechanically or electrically. To repeat, the door will not latch and swings freely. This occurred after parking the vehicle and attempting to lock all the doors.

The first time was before maria took the car to the Ford of Carolina in puerto rico. I was informed to call a number that was in the letter. I called and I never got my phone answered. Then after maria (the hurricane) they were not tending to anyone and there was a role letting us know that I could go to Ford de fajardo, Ford de ponce, Ford of kennedy avenue or the Ford de caguas. For my condition, it was pertinent to be cared for in Carolina. After that day they closed trades and left (so as not to serve anyone). Then 2 letters arrived and informed me that I had to wait for a third letter to arriven the information of proceed to repair the doors that open when the carriage is being driven from the inside out.

Clicking sound just randomly started from inside the dashboard, within few seconds of starting the engine. A quick youtube search came back with HVAC blend door motor as the culprit. Seems like a common issue but a huge nuisance as these small parts starts randomly wearing out in less than 100K miles / within 6 years.

My door all of sudden open when I was driving on the street while having my daughter in the back street which scared me. Thinking it was my door who open the door but I have the child safety on. But after pulling to the side I realize that's not problem. It was my door that does want to latch anymore.

My radio started acting strangely about 3 months ago. When the radio was on there was irregular squealing coming from it. When it first started, the squealing was only when the radio was on and I was driving the car. Later, the squealing also started to include loud popping noises, very much like an old stereo speaker losing its wire connection. The loud popping was very inconsistent. It then started happening every time I was in the car. It didn't matter if the radio was on or not. I even tried turning down the volume, while the radio was off. The popping noise was extremely loud and distracting while trying to drive the vehicle. Many time because the pop was so loud I would jerk the steering wheel in one direction or another. Passengers that rode in my car during some of the incidences had commented on it hurting their ears and making them jump or jerk in their seat. Then, one day the popping was happening almost continuously and then just stopped. Now leaving me without a radio and phone connection. I searched the internet to try to figure out the problem and have found that this is an extremely common defect in the Ford Fiesta. The erratic loud popping is a very dangerous distraction while you are driving and I feel it is very much a safety hazard.

Its gear or transmission problem.. which the car will have vibration or they call it shuttering.. its repeatative.. Ford will fix and return the car.. after few months it will have the same issue again when I asked about it they said its famous for some cars like figo, Focus, fieata and ecosport.the vehicle was not recalled but the warranty is extended and not announced.. by chance I knew that.. doors locker.. suddenly one of the four doors wont close trying to shut the door but it wont close the best solution was to close the door and tie it with seat built ( as emergency procedure till I reach to Agency or garage ) it happened twice with my car. But no recall which is unsafe. For the transmission started when I bought my car.

The issue in question involves the door latch mechanism. There was previously a recall issued for Ford Fiesta vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2014. My vehicle is a 2014 model and the vehicle was stationary at the time of the incident. This recall was put into effect either in 2014 or 2015 when the issue became prominent and pronounced. This is the first incident and/or issue that I have experienced with this vehicle. The driver side rear door just decided not to latch two days ago when I arrived at work after retrieving items from the back seat. I took the vehicle to my local dealership this morning to see if it could be rectified as well as find out if any active recalls were presently unrepaired. It was determined that there are no active recalls for the door latch system, however it is feasible and recommended that another recall be issued in light of my recent door latch issue.

The passenger rear door's latch stopped working. No damages or accidents were done to my car. I rarely use the rear of my car. However, my VIN number doesn't show a recall associated with my specific car even though there is an acknowledged recall for this issue for my specific year, make and model of my car. Also, less than a week later, the rear drivers side door's latch broke in the exact same way as the passenger rear door's latch. This is a safety issue and can lead to accidents and personal harm. I want to get all my latch's fixed, reimbursement for the one I had to pay for, and an apology from Ford. I checked my VIN number and the result showed "0 unrepaired recalls associated with this VIN". however, this specific response does not mean there was never a recall associated with this car. It means that the recalls that were associated with the car have been fixed. However, what if the door latch they used to "fix" the recall for it was faulty as well" how would I be able to check whether the recall that was completed was for the door latch's" how do I get Ford to acknowledge that the issue with my car (two faulty door latches within a week of each other) needs to have a recall on it and needs to be fixed free of charge? I want to discourage the buying of Ford cars as I have heard of many issues with Ford cars and I am now experiencing them myself. I am filling this report in hopes to help others not just myself. Door latches breaking can lead to serious harm.
