NHTSA Complaint #10881293 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

2012 FIESTA WILL JUST TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT TYPE OF WEATHER, DRIVING UPHILL OR IN REGULAR TRAFFIC AT A STOP. CAR IS BEGINNING TO HAVE PROBLEMS IN TRAFFIC AND THE STOPPING OCCURS MORE DURING STOP AND GO TYPE OF DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE GOES OUT; LIGHT COMES ON THEN THE IGNITION SWITCH GOES OUT AND SOMETIMES I CAN RESTART IT AND SOMETIMES THE SIGNAL WILL TURN OFF EVERYTHING COMPLETELY, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OR IN THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE;IF I'M LUCKY. RECENTLY IT STOPPED ON MY MOTHER AND HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, ON THE FREEWAY OR JUST DRIVING THROUGH TOWN. THE CAR WILL SHUTTER SOMETIMES BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF, OR JUST STARTS TO STALL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM UNABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OR PULL OFF THE ROAD TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS FAILURE OF THE CAR JUST STOPPING WHILE RUNNING HAS A POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AN AUTO ACCIDENT. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS AT ANY TIME AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED. DRIVING UNSURE WHAT MAY HAPPEN. CURRENTLY IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY IT WOULDN'T RESTART AND I HAD TO PAY A TOWING FEE. NEED TO HAVE IT FIXED NOW! AM LOSING TIME AND MONEY WITH NO TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS A FORD MISSTEP AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECURRING EVENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH THE STALLING AND STOPPING AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, BUT RECENTLY AM STARTING TO GET THE BEHAVIOR THAT MANY OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS ARE REPORTING WITH THE COMPLETE STOPPING ANYWHERE OR ANY TIME; SO I KNOW IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM AND IT'S BEGINNING TO AFFECT ME. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED NOW. YOU WANT THE PUBLIC TO DRIVE AND USE AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS I CHOOSE FORD AND I'M EXPECTING FORD TO KEEP THEIR MANUFACTURING PROMISE TO ME. "GO FURTHER IS OUR GLOBAL BRAND PROMISE ". REALLY! FORD COME GET MY CAR AND FIX IT!
