2015 Ford Fiesta Complaint Log

EVERY SINGLE TIME I STOP TO PUT GAS IN MY CAR I TURN MY CAR OFF PUMP MY GAS AND ONCE I CRANK MY CAR BACK UP FOR AT MY CAR DIES AND I HAVE TO TURN MY IGNITION OFF THEN RESTART MY CAR. AND THEN MY CAR WILL START TO FLUTTER LIKE IT'S HAVING TROUBLE GETTING GAS TO GO INTO THE RIGHT PLACE

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR ENGINE STOPS RUNNING AFTER I PUT GAS IN TANK. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET FEW TIMES. AT STOP LIGHTS CITY STREET BUT IT SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. I WOULD IT CHECKED OUT FROM DEALER

THE CAR SHUTTERS, DELAYS, AND/OR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. I HAVE BEEN TO FORD ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR THEM TO FIX THE SYSTEM SETTINGS ON THE COMPUTER IN MY CAR, WHICH THE RECALLS CLAIMS FIXES THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. ATTACHED UNDER DOCUMENTATION IS INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL. THIS HAPPENS NOT ONLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, BUT EVEN WHEN I JUST SPEED UP ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH I SEE TO BE EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I AM NERVOUS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER FORD CLAIMS THERE IS NO ISSUE AND THIS IS "NORMAL."

WHEN I DRIVE THG H ED CAR IT LOSES POWER I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED SERVERAL TIME I WAS THY OLD IT IS AS FACTORY DEFECT

MY ENGINE BLEW A HEAD GASKET BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE COOLING SYSTEM OVERHEATED. SO I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER MOTOR FOR MY VEHICLE. THE MOTOR THAT WAS INSTALLED IS DOING THE SAME THING. THE COOLING SYSTEM IS OVERHEATING AND WHEN IT DOES I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS OFF. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE AND CANNOT DRIVE IT A LONG DISTANCE WITHOUT IT OVERHEATING. I DRIVE 50 MILES FROM MY JOB AND CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE THAT LENGTH OF DISTANCES WITHOUT MY GAUGE SHOWING OVERHEATING. ATTACHED TO THIS IS A COPY OF THE INVOICE THAT SHOWS PROOF THAT I HAVE HAD ANOTHER MOTOR INSTALLED AND THE REASON IT WAS INSTALLED.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CARS TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING WELL.

THE VEHICLE HAS A SHUDDER ON TAKEOFF. THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR.

FORDS POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT CORRECTLY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. THE CAR SHUDDERS, SHAKES, AND GROANS WITHING THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AS ALMOST ALL FORD DEALERSHIPS WILL TELL YOU FORD REALLY HAS NO FIX FOR THEIR DANGEROUS DESIGN OF THIS TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET FORDS SELF-IMPLEMENTED TEST TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. INSTEAD THEY REFLASH THE TCM TO RETRAIN THE COMPUTER, THIS DOES NOTHING BUT PROLONG THEIR DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS, AS YOU THEN HAVE TO DRIVE VEHICLE ANOTHER 1000 MILES BEFORE THEY WILL ALLOW DEALERSHIPS TO LOOK AT VEHICLE AGAIN. FORD IS TRYING TO AVOID A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORCED BY THE NHTSA TO RECALL AND REPLACE ALL FORD FIESTA AND FOCUS WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILING ARE SURGING OF VEHICLE, LOSS OF DRIVE POWER, SHUDDER, HARSH ENGAGEMENT OF ENGINE POWER, LACK OF VEHICLE CONTROL DUE TO ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC ACTIVATE CLUTCHES.

THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! IT HESITATES WHEN POWER IS EXPECTED. IT WILL DOWNSHIFT AND CAUSE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD WHILE BRAKING! THIS IS UNCONTROLABLE!! IT LUNGED INTO THE INTERSECTION AT A RED LIGHT (WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE), WITH CARS COMING TOWARD ME FROM BOTH SIDES!! THANK GOD THEY WERE ALL PAYING ATTENTION AND HAD GOOD BRAKES!! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!! THIS AND THE HESITATING HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES! I AM VERY NERVOUS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE ME TO WRECK BUT IT IS ALL I HAVE TO DRIVE AND CANNOT GET ANYTHING ELSE WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS ONE. OTHERWISE , I WOULD NOT DRIVE IT!! *YOUR FORM ONLY ALLOWS ME TO ENTER ONE DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES! JUST DIFFERENT PLACES AND CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE CAR SHUDDERS REAL BAD WHEN STARTING UP. I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL FOCUS AND FIESTA HAVING THIS PROBLEM. FORD REFUSES TO FIX IT. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE ENGINE HAS A TENDENCY TO STUMBLE AND STALL WHEN IDLING (SUCH AS WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED). ON ONE OCCASION, SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER FILLING THE TANK, I ENTERED THE ROADWAY IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE I WAS IN THE ROADWAY MOVING AT LOW SPEED. *TR

THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD HAPPEN IN BOTH CITY AND INTERSTATE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE AND I WOULD JUST BARELY BE ABLE TO GET ON TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IN 70 MPH TRAFFIC. STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE WOULD ALLOW NORMAL OPERATION FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. THE PROBLEM WOULD THEN OCCUR AGAIN. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A BAD THROTTLE BODY WITH A CODE OF P2011. I'VE READ THAT FORD HAS A HISTORY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE BODIES. IT SEEMS THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUE ON NEWER MODELS.

THE CAR WILL HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING AND THEN SPEED UP AND I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO STOP IT. IF I HAVE TO STOP AND START TOO MANY TIMES IN TRAFFIC THIS WILL ALSO CAUSE THE RPMS TO FLUCTUATE AND THEN THE CAR WILL STALL.

THIS PROBLEM SHOWED UP ON THE FIRST DAY WE PICKED UP THIS BRAND NEW 2015 FORD FIESTA WITH LESS THAN 25 MILES ON THE ODO. WHILE WE WERE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AS WE LEFT THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND ENTERED THE SIDE STREET THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE RPMS WENT UP TO OVER 4000 BUT THE TRANSMISSION NEVER ENGAGED. THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND US AS WE WERE TURNING HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY TO KEEP FROM HITTING US AS WE COASTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS THE CAR ALMOST CAME TO A FULL STOP THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED HARD AND JUMPED FORWARD AS IF I HAD SLAMMED IT INTO GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPEN MANY MORE TIMES WITH MY WIFE, SISTER AND MYSELF AS DRIVER.

EVER SINCE I'VE HAD MY CAR THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE ITS GOING OUT IT JERKS REALLY HARD WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS TO TRY TO TAKE OFF.

SHORTLY AFTER HAVING THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED BEING JUMPY, LOSING POWER AT TAKE OFF AND ACTING LIKE IT WILL STALL OUT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS FOR FORD DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT. DID SUCEED WITH ONE OF THE ATTEMPTS AND THEY SAID THEY RESET COMPUTER. THAT DID NOT WORK. THE OTHER TIMES THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIX AND THEY ARE WORKING ON FINDING A SOLUTION TO FIX. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IN AND THEY TELL ME NOW IT IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT HALF OF WHAT WE BOUGHT A YEAR AGO. MY FAMILY FEELS VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR AND VERY DISSATISFIED WITH ASHEVILLE FORD.

Transmission does not shift correctly. Ford refuses to address the issues. This model was proven to have a faulty design. When will there be a recall? Before someone gets killed?

OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING AND STOPPED AT STOP SIGNALS THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE CAR ALSO OCCASIONALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN.

JERKS AND SOMETIMES MAKES BAD NOISE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. HAPPENS OFTEN.

MY 2015 FORD FIESTA STALLS OUT EVERY TIME AFTER I GET GAS. IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES TO GET IT STARTED UP AGAIN. ONCE I DO GET IT STARTED IT DOES DRIVE JERKY WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT. AFTER ABOUT DRIVING FOR 15 MINS MOST OF THE TIME MY CAR GOES BACK TO DRIVING NORMAL UNTIL I GET GAS AGAIN. I RECENTLY SAW THE FORD FOCUS HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A FUEL TANK PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED IT STALL OUT AFTER FUELING, THIS SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM WITH MY FORD FIESTA.
