THE CONTACT CALLED KEITH HAWTHORNE FORD LOCATED AT 617 N MAIN ST, BELMONT, NC 28012, AND INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I DISCOVERED AFTER ACCESSING MY LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR THE OTHER DAY AND ATTEMPTING TO SHUT IT, THAT THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED, PREVENTING MY VEHICLE'S DOOR FROM LATCHING SHUT. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO KEEP IT CLOSED BY USING THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER SEATBELT THROUGH THE HANDLE OF THE DOOR, OTHERWISE THE DOOR WOULD SWING FREELY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT LOCK NOW, AND THE OPEN DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINS OPEN DUE TO THE FAILED LATCH.

I WAS RECENTLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG WAS ACTIVATED AND METAL FRAGMENTS CAME THROUGH THE AIR BAG AN CUT MY HEAD OPEN. MY ACCIDENT WAS HEAD ON IMPACT WITH A STATIONARY DWELLING. ALL WINDOWS WERE FULLY INTACT UPON AND AFTER IMPACT. UPON RETRIEVING MY ITEMS FROM MY VEHICLE I TOOK NOTICE TO ALL THESE METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE VEHICLE.*DT *TR

CAR DASH LIGHTS UP WITH ALL ALERTS AND THEN TOTALLY LOSES POWER. YOU ARE UNABLE TO PUT CAR INTO ANY GEAR, YOUR LITERALLY STUCK WHEREVER THIS OCCURS. I'VE BEEN TO 3 MECHANICS INCLUDING FORD AUTONATION AND AN ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC GARAGE RESULTING IN THE SAME RESULTS " NOTHING" ! IT ALSO SAYS IMMOBILIZER ENABLED SERVICE NOW???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V177000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A DOOR UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING OR AN AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION FORD TUSTIN (2 AUTO CENTER DRIVE, TUSTIN, CA 92782) AND THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,705.

IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR THE PAWL SPRING TAB INSIDE ONE OR MORE OF THE SIDE DOOR LATCHES TO BREAK. THIS CONDITION WILL TYPICALLY PREVENT THE DOOR FROM LATCHING. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, WHERE THE DOOR IS ABLE TO BE CLOSED, THE DOOR MAY UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING. SAFETY RISK: IF YOU ARE ABLE TO LATCH THE DOOR AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO SHUT THE DOOR, THERE IS A POTENTIAL THE DOOR MAY UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.

MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE THE DAY I DROVE MY VEHICLE OFF THE LOT. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO BRING IT BACK WITHIN WARRANTY; HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG AND DEPARTED HOME. SINCE THEN, I BROUGHT IT BACK ABOUT 2 MORE TIMES & WAS TOLD AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION FELL 'WITHIN WORKING CAPABILITIES'. NOT LONG AFTER, I RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN AND SHOWED THE REPRESENTATIVE(S) THE LETTER, I WAS REASSURED EVERYTHING WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. I LEFT PAYING A $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT, THE VEHICLE ISN'T RELIABLE AT ALL. I'VE ALREADY INVESTED $1,200 INTO FIXING A HVAC BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR ISSUE THAT APPEARED SHORTLY AFTER ITS' PURCHASE. I INFORMED FORD MARGATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL; BUT AS MANY TIMES AS I CALL, THE ISSUES GET OVERLOOKED AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT ON THEIR END. I ONLY HAVE 65K MILES ON THE CAR & IT ROLLS BACKWARDS IF I'M ON A HILL. THIS HAPPENS AS SOON AS I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND I ANTICIPATE HITTING THE GAS. BEFORE I CAN EVER DO THAT, THE CAR STARTS ROLLING BACKWARDS AS IF IT'S A MANUAL. THE TRANSMISSION CONSISTENTLY SHUTTERS AND THE GEARS DON'T AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT PROPERLY. IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES?

HVAC blend door actuator malfunctioned without apparent cause. Caused engine to overheat. Could not drive vehicle until issue was resolved.

I WAS INFORMED THEN TO CHANGE GAS TYPE. ALSO BEEN TAKING THE VEHICLE FOR SAME PLACE (FORD) FOR OIL CHANGES, ALL THE SUDDEN THERE IS AN OIL LEAK AS WELL. UNSURE HOW, WHEN EXACTLY IT HAPPENED. IT'F VERY MINOR, BUT INTERESTING BEING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD. ON ANOTHER NOTE JUST TO INFORM, THE SUSPENSION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACE DUE TO BEING FACTORY DEFECTED. AT THE TIME, VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. FOR BOTH ISSUES.

This goes with Incidents 11500972 & 11500985 2015 Ford Fiesta SE purchased 2.8.18 Crest Ford in Center Line, MI From my other reports, car has had all kinds of issues. This is 3/5 and these are all ACCIDENTS. In early 2019, I was coming home from a medical appointment in the morning. I was the 4th car, sitting at the busy intersection of 9 Mile and Kelly, which was ON 9 Mile, going West. The light was red. I had my seat belt on, like always, my foot on the brake, looking straight ahead at the light. Suddenly, the car shook, like as if a semi was going by, but no one was moving. And even tho my foot was squarely on the brake, the car took off, like someone had pressed the accelerator peddle! Quickly I pressed as hard as I could down further on the brake, but it didn't matter. The car kind of jumped, then took off, again, like someone was had stomped on the accelerator. I was in the right-most lane, I slammed into the Sedan in front of me, which shoved his car off the road, up the edge, and onto the sidewalk, so I was almost sideways. I was horrified. My air bags did not deploy. The man driving and a 2nd man got out, they were furious, screaming what was wrong with me? I didn't know how to explain that the car took off on its own, while my foot was on the brake! He was yelling and screaming, luckily his air bags didn't do off either. This dented his bumper, but he didn't have insurance, didn't want to get the police involved or make a report, which was fine with me. Since, I have been very cautious stopped at lights, always expecting this to happen again, and it has! Not as dramatically, but sitting stopped, foot on brake, no rhyme or reason, car suddenly jumps, accelerates. I thought I must be going crazy, I've never heard of a car doing this. Well reading the reports of the Ford Fiesta problems, I see other cars doing this too. I won't take it across like a bridge, imagine it accelerating over the side into the Great Lakes. Very dangerous.

IN NOW IT'S, OVERHEATS AND NO VISIBLE COOLANT LEAK. AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.. THE MOTOR MAKES A CLACKING SOUNDS. THE 1.0 TURBOCHARGE 3-CYL TURBO IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. PLUS IT'S ENGINE BAY FUSE BOX SAYS ENGINE FAN IS 60 AMPS IN RECENTLY I NOTICED IT HAS HAD A 40 GAGE AMP. THANK THAT THE UNDER THE HOOD ENGINE FAN. WASN'T PERFORM AT THE RECOMMENDED FUSE.. IT ALSO AT START UP AND SITTING STILL AT MOTOR BOG'S DOWN LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO CUT OFF. KNOW THE OVERHEAT PROUBLEM'S. IF I'M SITTING STILL IN NEUTRAL AND I TURN THE AC ON FULL-BLAST IT STAYS AT 4 BARS WHICH IS NORMAL FOR AS LONG AS I WANT AND IT DOESN'T OVER HEAT ? BUT, SOON AS I PUT IT IN 1ST GEAR AND TRY TO DRIVE IT WILL OVERHEAT, NOT EVEN GOING 10FT AND I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE AC AND PUT IT ON THE HEAT. FULL BLAST! WITHIN A FEW MINUTES IT SLOWLY GOES DOWN.

AS I WAS REVERSE PARKING IN A PARKING LOT MY TRANSMISSION JUST STALLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO GO REVERSE, I HEARD THE REVVING BUT SHE WAS NOT MOVING. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT SHE WAS REVVING BUT DIDN'T MOVE. I SHUT HER OFF HER FIVE MINUTES AFTER THAT AND RESTARTED HER AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK HER. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, LEAVING THE PARKING LOT THE CAR STARTED TO JERK FORWARD AND HAVING A HARD TIME TRANSITIONING INTO THE NEXT GEAR (IT'S AUTOMATIC) IT STALLED AS I WAS SLIGHTLY APPLYING PRESSURE TO ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC IT WAS VERY SCARY. MY CAR HAS 54,000 MILES.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ENGINE STALLS WHEN TRYING TO MOVE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND AND DIES. CAR WAS IN A CITY STREET

I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WAS REAR ENDED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT AND MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY.

THE LATCH TO OPEN THE CAR FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR BROKE FROM OPENING. THE MATERIAL DOES NOT DO WELL WITH THE HEAT.

MY VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND LEAVE ME COASTING WITH THE ENGINE RACING. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT TO HAVE COME ON. THE CAR HAS 85000 MILES ON IT AND WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT. I THINK WE HAVE AN ISSUE HERE OF ITS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY THROUGH FORD UP TO 65000 MILES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT ONLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN CAR HOES INTO DRIVE.

MY CAR IS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER REV BUT MY SPEED REMAINS THE SAME OR DECREASES. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER OVER TIME AND THE PEDAL WILL BECOME SPONGY. THIS HAS BECOME A VERY LARGE INCONVENIENCE AND AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER. I WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WOULD BE DEEMED MY FAULT EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD ME THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN CONTACTING FORD DEARBORN AND PERRY FORD THEY TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO OR I CAN PAY A FEE.

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ENGINE WILL REV, RPM INCREASE, BUT SPEED WON'T CHANGE. THIS IS CAUSED SAFETY ISSUES FOR MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO INCREASE SPEED AND KEEP UP WITH ON GOING TRAFFIC. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

MY FUEL PUMP IS FAILING CAUSING MY CAR TO STALL AT STRANGE TIMES.

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.

REAR LEFT DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I STOPPED THE CAR TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND THE DOOR DIDN'T CLOSE ANYMORE. DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN. THERE IS A RECALL 15S16 FOR THE 2011-2014 FIESTAS FOR THIS SAME REASON. IT IS CLEAR THAT 2015 MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CRITICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO INVESTIGATED IN 2015 FIESTA MODEL SINCE THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT FROM SAFETY RECALL WITH NUMBER 15S16. THE DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND COULD HAVE INJURED OR KILLED A PERSON. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY CANNOT CONFIRM THAT MY 2015 FORD WHICH I BOUGHT IN 2014 DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME AFFECTED PART NUMBERS FOR THE DOOR LATCHES AS THE 2011 TO 2014 MODELS.

Airbag indicator light on. Took to repair and can’t fix

MANUAL TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON FIRST GEAR. I ALMOST HAVE A COLLISION DUE TO THE PROBLEM, I WAS READY TO TURN ON A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE SLIPPING HAPPEN AND JUST BECAUSE THE OTHER VEHICLE STOP, I DIDN'T HAVE THE COLLISION HEAD ON. SO I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR REPAIRS, WHEN AFTER DIAGNOSTICS I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THEY NEED TO DO AN OVERHAUL ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION AFTER MY VEHICLE IS DRIVING FOR LESS THAN 9500 MILES.

DRIVER SIDE DOORS. BOTH LATCHES BROKE. THE DOOR WONT STAY CLOSED. THEY OPEN WELL I'M DRIVING. THE BACK DOOR LATCH WENT OUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND THE FRONT WENT OUT 2 DAYS AGO. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE SAME MODEL FROM 2012 TO 2014. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN JULY OF 2014 SO I'M PRETTY SURE THEY WERE USING THE SAME LATCHES. IT HAPPEN AT MY HOUSE AT 6601 EUCALYPTUS SPC 358 BAKERSFIELD CA

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the rear driver’s side door failed to latch securely when closed. The contact stated that the door would only lock when the latch was manually pushed down. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V177000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

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.

THE CAR WILL STUTTER EVERY TIME AFTER FUELING UP AND SOMETIMES STALL WHILE PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DEFECT SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION YEARS AGO AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE FOLLOWED THERE REFUELING INSTRUCTIONS PER THERE MANUAL SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR AND THIS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, THIS DEFECT CREATES A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION.

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

IN THE PAST ONE YEAR EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY CAR WORKS WEIRD FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. WHILE I'M DRIVING AND STOPS AT INTERSECTIONS OR WHATEVER REASONS, IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE WANTS TO STOP (RPM DROPS TO/BELOW 500). AFTER A FEW MILES THE PROBLEM IS GONE UNTIL THE NEXT REFUELING. ALL SYSTEM IS NORMAL AS PER THE COMPUTER / DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTICS, AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE REASON.

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.

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.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, WHILE MY CAR IS AT AN IDLE ANY TIME WITHIN DRIVING A MILE THE IDLE DROPS LIKE THE ENGINE WANTS TO CUT OFF OR STALL. AFTER DRIVING A MILE IT SEEMS FINE AND NO OTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FILL UP. TRIED LEAVING THE GAS NOZZLE IN THE FILL HOLE FOR UP TO 10 SECONDS AND IT DOESN'T HELP.
