Occasionally while driving and stopped at stop signals the car shuts off. The car also occasionally shuts off when slowing down. The car always shuts off shortly after fueling, this may occur between 1-4 times after fueling. There has also been oil slowly accumulating around the engine block near the top of the block near the valve cover.
My car likes to decelerate when my foot is on the gas. Sometimes it will stop while I am driving it on the road I have repeatedly taken it in to the dealership where I purchased my vehicle. They keep saying nothing is wrong. I know for a fact that a car should never stop unless your foot is on the brake. Also my check engine light is always on and the dealership where I purchased my car has turned it off for me and it will just turn back on.
I was driving on interstate 95 at 70 miles per hour when my vehicle just turned off. I was driving during normal conditions, on 12/09/2019 in Florida. All of the dash lights remained on and the vehicle gave no indications that the engine was going to cut off. I had just had my battery tested a few days prior and it was in good working order. I was able to safely pull my vehicle to the side of the interstate this time and the vehicle started again when I tried. It stalled a second time before I was able to merge back into traffic. It restarted again and I was able to make it to my destination. I have looked at the recall lists for Ford and the 2014-2015 Ford Fiesta is on the list with the issue my vehicle experienced but my VIN is not included in that recall. Will there be a recall on my VIN? the current recall deals with the fuel pump stalling the vehicle. The recall number relating to the fuel pump plating is 14S30. NHTSA campaign number is 15V005000
Transmission slips out of gear during normal city driving. I have had the car completely lock up, become unable to drive, and needed to be towed to the dealership. This is the 3rd time I have encountered this issue. I've had the transmission computer restarted, one of the clutches replaced, then a few months after that had the car towed to the dealership again due to "immobilizer malfunction" design for the car is great but the mechanics are terrible.
Driving along and car shut off had it towed to pep boys and was told that it was a crack in cylinder valve. Informed that they could not fix it and then had it towed butler automotive where it is sitting as of 6/25/19.
I received a recall notice about a year ago warning my vehicle may randomly stall due to a defect with this vehicle. About 6 months later I started experiencing random stalls mainly while stopped at red lights. I have lost my recall notice and when I contacted my local Ford dealer they said the VIN associated with my vehicle was not on the recall list. However, Ford has a public recall relating to a fuel pump warning the exact problem my vehicle is experiencing and it is a huge safety concern. Ford refuses to repair the vehicle.
For several months since I've had the car. It will from time to time stall out. Now it crank but won't start up. You can be driving or idle and the car shakes and stalls out. Due to this it caused my car to overheat. My car will crank but not move at all. The other issue since I bought the car it ran hot. So hot to the point that it crack the radiator hose. I replaced. The car would run hot if you sat idle while driving for too long.
My car is 3 years old and had the transmission replaced 6 months after I purchased the car and then it had the transmission control module replaced - now I always take my car to the dealer for repairs : my car broke down 2 weeks again amd I had it towed to the dealer - they told me I had to pay for a new battery in order for them to find out what was wrong with my car $300 it cost me ( I just replaced the battery in my car 6 months ago), bright car home and check engine light was on( I asked to speak with a manager at this point and the manager in charge told me that they would get it fixed -$73 it cost me. ( I was charged only for the part-no labor ) bright car home on Thursday and car was making a noise so I texted the manager and he said if it was still safe to drive then do so and bring it in on Monday. It broke down that Sunday and was towed into dealer. Now the engine is ruined and they expect me to pay for it when it was their neglect that caused the engine to blow. It was the timing built - when they finally realized that it was too late. I was not charged for the timing belt either. I take my car only to chapman Ford 9371 roosevelt blvd 19114
Takata recall my vehicle has been stalling out soon after fueling and requiring 3-5 minutes before being able to star the vehicle. Often times after fueling the vehicle does not start back up right away. In the last 4 months, I've been seeing this issue progress even after speaking with and getting a diagnosis from the Ford dealership where the vehicle was purchased. In the last 3 weeks. My 2015 Ford Fiesta has stalled out on me while driving 4 times! I can literally be driving on the freeway when the battery and engine lights turn on and my vehicle automatically shuts off. This was a previous recall an I have not been able to get any solid responses as to whether or not my vehicle still qualifies for this recall. This issue is a serious safety concern and the fact that Ford is not giving solid answers as to whether or not they will fix it is beyond me. I still have 2 years left on my warranty and they are still giving me a hard time.

According to the VIN search, my 2015 Ford Fiesta St (xxxx), is not included in safety recall 17S09. However, I am experiencing the exact same problem. The fluid level dropped unexpectedly in my car, causing severe overheating, requiring the car to be shut down. There are no leaks, and it is unclear where or how the coolant level dropped. There was no warning from the car computer. An engine running properly should not burn coolant. I am now being charged to have the coolant system examined, even though this sounds exactly like the recall and associated complaints.
