NHTSA Complaint #11221158 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

ON 6/16/19 I WAS DRIVING ON THE I89 IN VERMONT AND BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS SCARED ME AS I HAD NO VISIBILITY ON THE INTERSTATE. MY HIGH BEAMS WERE ABLE TO WORK, AND EVENTUALLY, I TURNED BY LOW BEAMS BACK ON. THEY SEEMED TO WORK. THEY THEN CUT OUT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED OFF AND ON FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE HOME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. TODAY 6/19/19 THEY REPORTED THAT THERE WAS CORROSION IN MY FUSE BOX, AND THEY REPORTED THE CHEAPEST OPTION WAS $500 TO CLEAN THE BOX, AND REPLACE THE PINS. I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD STOP THE CORROSION, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE CORROSION WOULD STOP. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/FORD/FIESTA/HEADLIGHTS-PROBLEMS.PHP SO IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE DRIVING A FORD FIESTA GETS INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE THERE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY STOP WORKING ON THEM.
