2011 FORD FIESTA Electrical System Problems

I am having issues with the fuse box under the hood. I keep shorting out on my headlights ans AC clutch relay. I've purchased new head lights (bulbs), replaced them and they still didn't work. I checked the fuses after investigation online and they have blown. I had my AC completely fixed and it ran fine for a while, then stopped working. I had it checked and was told the AC relay clutch fuse was loose. I replaced it. Three weeks later it shorted out, again.

I am reporting a serious mechanical and safety issue involving my 2011 Ford Fiesta. After receiving a partially state-funded engine replacement in June 2025, my vehicle began experiencing serious transmission problems shortly after. Within a month, it went into limp mode multiple times, and warning lights appeared: the wrench light, incline warning, and “Transmission Malfunction – Service Now” messages. A diagnostic scan revealed multiple DTCs related to the Transmission Control Module (TCM), Input/Output Shaft Speed Sensors, and Clutch A disengagement (P286F) — which I understand are linked to known issues with this model’s transmission. These failures make the car dangerous to drive. The vehicle has lost power unexpectedly, putting me at risk of an accident. I’ve also been told by the repair shop that I may now need a new transmission and/or TCM, despite just receiving a major engine repair. I am unable to afford another large repair and this...

Door locks keep unlocking and locking as I'm driving. It is very loud. 4 or 5 times as I'm going 35 and 60 mph

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the engine malfunction, ABS, and Hill Assist warning lights were illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed; however, the contact was unaware of the diagnostic result. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same mechanic who again diagnosed the vehicle and informed the contact that the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred, and the vehicle was taken to a local dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the throttle body, engine electrical harness, and engine mounts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure had reoccurred, and the vehicle stalled with white smoke coming from the exhaust pipes. The...

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start as intended. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that there was abnormal corrosion around the wiring harness, causing an electrical fault. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: 22N11. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 105,000.

Transmission overheating stopped car

I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The vehicle has a really serious issue relating to the fuse box that is mounted under the hood. This issue has a recall and I scheduled it for service at the Ford dealer in bryan, ohio. (Bryan Ford) I have issues with this vehicle that make it extremely unsafe for me and my family to drive. The headlights randomly go out while driving, both passenger and drivers side are affected by this. The doors will not lock and I have no horn now either, making us a target for car jacking. About a month before I found out there was a recall for this I hit a racoon and it knocked off the plastic wheel cover. After I took it in to have the recall fixed Bryan Ford refused to repair this recall due to the missing plastic. I believe my family and I...

The low beam headlights do not turn on, all the other lights work as normal including the high beams. The fuses have not blown and there are no warning lamps or messages. This is a known problem with this make and model, there is a recall in Canada for this issue. The safety of others is put at extreme risk in any kind of low light condition (fog, rain, etc.) As well as my own safety by not being able to see in front of me. It is illegal to drive with high beams on in residential areas so I am just unable to drive at night. The vehicle has not been inspected yet. I suspect this is related to the design of the fuse box which allows debris and moisture to get into the relays, again, see the Canadian recall.

The vehicle engine has periodically stopped due to a known issue with the fuse box. The same known issue has also affected the headlights and while the engine failure has led to possible safety issues with vehicle control and potential dangerous situations where the vehicle has stopped in high traffic areas, the most significant danger is with the lighting malfunctioning during night driving.

In 2019 the Ford Fiesta refused to crank, key in the ignition the cars dash would light up, but the only sound produced was a small tick. After several unsuccessful visits to the mechanic, we finally took it to the Ford dealership and it was discovered that the TCM needed to be reprogrammed or replaced, after getting it replaced, for no charge, we no longer experienced the cranking issue. Apparently, the Ford dealership was aware of the recall but this information was left out upon purchase from CarMax. This information was not listed on this site either. I'm reporting this issue so that the next owner of the vehicle won't be surprised and devastated like we were.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH at night he was informed that the exterior rear lights were not working. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with junction box electrical failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 183,968.  Lights stopped working inside, the rear exterior lights, and then the front lights. Ford reports VIN is not part of the recall, but consumer's vehicle has the exact same issue as the other ones. Diagnosed with corrosion from dealership.

Interior lighting stopped working. Rear lights stopped working and then front lights stopped working. There is a known recall on this, but Ford states it doesn’t include my VIN. However, when you go to the recall it shows the exact same issue with corrosion in the fuse junction box. Bill Estes Ford diagnosed it as corrosion of fuses in that box. Ford won’t work with me even though this is a known issue with 2011,2012,2013 Fiesta’s.I was almost rear ended not knowing my rear lights were not working in the dark.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle would not start, and the transmission warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC TO HAVE O2 SENSORS REPLACED AT TIME OF OIL CHANGE. AUTO SHOP COMPLETED OIL CHANGE AND CHANGED O2 SENSORS, RESET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BUT THEN CAR WOULDN'T START. MECHANIC REASSESSED, FOUND BLOWN FUSES IN FUSE BOX, NOTING DIRT IN FUSE BOX AND CORROSION. CAR WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS AS AUTO SHOP STATED THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR FORD ECU. FORD RAN DETAILED DIAGNOSTICS TO AGAIN FIND THAT DIRT AND CORROSION IN FUSE BOX LED TO MALFUNCTIONING AND CAR NOT STARTING.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AND I KEEP CHANGES THE FUSES. IT LASTS FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN HAPPENS AGAIN. IT'S THE FUSE BOX. IF CANADA CAN HAVE A RECALL ON THIS, BECAUSE YOU NEED HEADLIGHTS TO DRIVE, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY CAN'T THE UNITED STATES RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THEM. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. CANADA CARES MORE ABOUT THERE PEOPLE'S SAFETY THEN THE UNITED STATES. IS THAT RIGHT. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY FEBRUARY 9, 2021.

TROUBLE WITH DASH LIGHTS, SEAT HEATERS, TRACTION CONTROL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT ALL ON. FUSE BOX COMPLETELY CORRODED EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN CANADIAN RECALL OF FUSE BOXES ON 2011 FIESTAS, I AM IN U.S. $1200 INTO ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE PROBLEM, STILL WILL NEED TO REPLACE FUSE BOX COSTING HUNDREDS MORE.

CAR WON'T START DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN BATTERY JUNCTION BOX. TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND STOPS ENGAGING WHEN DRIVING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX. CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX. ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC, ALMOST WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STALLED. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER CUSTOMER PROGRAM 17B16, STATING: REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, AN OPENING BETWEEN THE BJB AND ITS COVER COULD ALLOW WATER AND DEBRIS CONTAINING ROAD DE-ICING SALTS TO ENTER INTO THE BJB. THIS COULD RESULT IN CORROSION INSIDE THE BJB FOR VEHICLES OPERATED EXTENSIVELY IN US CORROSION STATES. CORROSION IN THE BJB MAY CAUSE A VARIETY OF SYMPTOMS INCLUDING LOSS OF FUNCTION OF EXTERIOR LIGHTS, VEHICLE STALL, VEHICLE NO START, OR LOSS OF FUNCTION OF INTERIOR LIGHTS. I CALLED AND WAS GIVEN CASE...

ON JULY 8TH 2020 MYSELF AND MY NEPHEW WAS IN MY CAR AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING DOING ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY A DOOR POPPED OPEN ALL FOUR DOORS THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD THIS RECALL FIX MY NEPHEW ALMOST FELL OUT THE CAR FORD IS VERY AWARE THEY SENT AROUND AN INTERNAL EMAIL AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR ABOUT JANUARY ABOUT THE DOORS POPPING OPEN EVEN AFTER BEING FIXED AND THEY DID NOT ALERT THE PUBLIC MY TRANSMISSION IS CAUSING PROBLEMS AGAIN MY TRANSMISSION AND MY CLUTCH AND OTHER PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN FIXED MORE THAN 32 TIMES THE CAR IS LITERALLY A DEATHMOBILE FORD SO THIS CAR KNOWING THAT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS COULD HAPPEN I ALMOST DIED IN THIS CAR I AM AFRAID TO PICK THE CAR UP FROM FIVE STAR FORD NORTH RICHLAND HILLS PLEASE HELP ME FORD...

THE PAST TWO DAYS MY CAR HAS BEEN ACTING UP SERIOUSLY, THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO IN REVERSE AT ALL, THE FAN WON'T WORK.THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE CAR. WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE FUSE BOX THE CAR STARTS WORKING FINE. THE FAN SMOKES LIKE NO OTHER SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE RELAY OUT. THE CAR ALSO DELAYS WHEN GEARS ARE CHANGING. *TR

FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE WITH TCM / SUSPECTED TO BE RELATED TO RECALL ON FUSE BOX. ELECTRICAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN FUSE BOX AND TCM ISN'T WORKING. *TR

RECENTLY MY DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AS WELL AS MY TAIL LIGHTS. UPON CHECKING THE FUSE BOX LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD, I FOUND IT FILLED WITH SAND AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIALS. FURTHERMORE, ALL OF THE FUSES WERE CORRODED AND WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THEM, THEY BROKE, THUS I WAS UNABLE TO REPLACE THEM. IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS EQUIPMENT AS THE BOX DOES NOT PROPERLY SEAL EVEN THOUGH IT IS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. AFTER RESEARCHING FURTHER, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2011 FORD FIESTA OWNERS AND THAT THE REPAIR FOR THIS IS VERY COSTLY. BECAUSE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, IT WOULD SEEM THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS DESIGN FLAW AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE AFTER DARK. FURTHERMORE, I AM CONVINCED THAT OTHER FUSES WILL SOON...

WORK ORDER WITH DETAILS IS INCLUDED.

DOOR FROM THE DRIVER SEAT SIDE WON'T WORK BUT ALL THE REST DOES

CAR SHUDDERS EXCESSIVELY ON ACCELERATION. WILL ALSO LURCH FORWARD DURING ACCELERATION. GRINDING NOISES WHEN CAR IS ON LOW SPEED (1-20 MPH). REAR TAILLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING.

WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW I HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO JOE COTTON FORD IN CAROL STREAM, IL THERE WAS NO REMEDY BESIDES REMOVING THE CABLES FROM THE BATTERY TO RESET THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. ON SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO. TO ADVISE THAT THEY NEED TO DO A SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO A TCM CIRCUIT FAILURE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FRIENDLY FORD 333 E IRVING PARK, ROSELLE, IL, ON MONDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2019, SO THEY CAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. PRIOR TO TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES. APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO INSTALL THE NEW SOFTWARE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED ME THAT THE CARD CODE READER WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ERROR MESSAGE AND THEY HAD TO CHARGE ME. MY VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL DAYS...

I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ON 9/14/2019. LOW BEAM DRIVERS FRONT LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. SO WE THOUGHT A FUSE OR BULB. NOT THAT. IT IS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. THE CAR DOES NOT START NOW. IT'S PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF THIS. THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE MECHANICS CHECKED IT, WASHED IT AND FILLED IT UP. SO I CALLED THEM BACK TODAY. THEY SAID NOTHING. NOW I HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY TO GET MY CAR FIXED. THEY'LL HERE FROM ME AGAIN AFTER IT GOES TO THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKES SQUEAKED, THE STEERING LOST POWER, AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRIENDLY KIA (877-544-6719, LOCATED AT 5819 US-19, NEW PORT RICHEY, FL 34652) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO HUMIDITY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO FORD OF PORT RICHEY (727-233-7143, LOCATED AT 10715 US-19, PORT RICHEY, FL 34668) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES THAT ARE SEEMINGLY RELATED TO FORD'S DPS6 TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL WIRING. MY GEARS SLIP OUT OF PLACE AND MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO ACCELERATE OR SLOW DOWN PROPERLY. MY HORN AND FRONT WINDOWS DON'T WORK AND WE'VE TRIED SWITCHING FUSES AND CHECKING THE DOOR WIRING. IN RELATION TO THE TRANSMISSION, I WAS ON WESTBOUND I4 OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN ORLANDO AROUND 2:00 4/24/19 (MY BIRTHDAY) AND MY CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD AS I BRAKED, WHICH MADE ME HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WERE NO CODES, NO LIGHTS, NO WARNINGS ON MY CAR AND IT'S UNDER 100,000 MILES. I WAS AS A RESULT FAULTED FOR MY ACCIDENT WHICH SKYROCKETED MY INSURANCE. WE SPENT MONEY FIXING THE DAMAGE FROM THE ACCIDENT, NOT REALIZING THAT FORD HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT THEIR TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND...

THIS TRANSMISSION BUCKS, SHAKES, AND AT TIME FALLS COMPLETELY DOWN ON QUICK ACCELERATION. UPON ACCELERATION IT JUST COMES OUT OF GEAR, AND REV THE ENGINE. IT IS HAS BEEN REBUILT SEVERAL TIMES, FLASHED TCM'S AT $120 A POP, BUT IT IS SO DANGEROUS IT NEEDS TO BE CRUSHED. THIS MODEL ALSO HAS A POORLY ENGINEERED NEGATIVE GROUND WIRE THAT HAS COST TIME AND MONEY HUNTING 'GHOST' SENSOR PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. DRIVE THIS CAR AS THE EVIDENCE OF FAILURE! AS A RESPONSIBLE OWNER I'M HOPING IT WILL NOT GO TO ANOTHER VICTIM.

UPON SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND OR JUST ENGAGING THE CLUTCH THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF, USUALLY AS I APPROACH A STOP LIGHT OR AM IN A PARKING LOT. SOMETIMES IT IS A ROUGH STOP LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FULLY DISENGAGED, BUT MOST OFTEN IT IS SMOOTH AS IF TURNING OF THE CAR WITH THE KEY. THE SILENT SHUT DOWN OCCURS BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, ANY WHERE FROM 1-70 MPH, AND WHEN A COMPLETE STOP HAS BEEN REACHED. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT LEAST TWO DOZEN TIMES IN THE 2.5 YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR. APPROXIMATELY, 80% OF THE TIME IT IS THE 'SILENT SHUT DOWN', WHERE I DO NOT EVEN NOTICE THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING UNTIL I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO GEAR AND TRY TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED AT STOP LIGHTS IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS...

THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWN SHIFTED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED HAD I NOT MOVED ASIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHERE IT STEMS FROM. I WAS A DIE HARD FORD OWNER UNTIL FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON TIME, AND NOT JUST OIL CHANGES.

1) DOOR LATCHES ARE FAULTY. ANY DOOR CAN OPEN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. ALSO, DOOR LATCH SENSORS ARE FAULTY AND CAUSE ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON IF IT THINKS A DOOR IS OPEN. HAPPENS WITHIN 1ST MILE DRIVEN EVERY TIME SINCE 80K MILES. 2) IN SNOW, THE PIECE OF BODY PLASTIC IN FRONT OF THE FRONT TIRES CAN GET CAUGHT AND DRAGGED UNDERNEATH THE FRONT TIRES. 3) ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS: FUSE BOX RUSTS, PRONGS BREAK OFF IN FUSE BOX. SOMETIMES PUSHING CLUTCH IN WOULD CAUSE LIGHTS TO DIM OR SPEAKER STATIC (MANUAL TRANSMISSION). PROBLEMATIC 12V (ALWAYS HOT) ROUTINELY BROKE 12V DEVICES. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIX THIS AT LAST WARRANTY MAINTENANCE. 4) SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS WERE UNABLE TO SOLVE OR FIND THE CAUSE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: BRAKE ROTOR USUALLY CAUSES HOWLING SOUND UNDER 30MPH AFTER A FEW MILES, (STARTED AROUND 50,000 MILES) AND CAR SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHILE...

HEAD LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING, HAD BEEN USING CAR EARLIER IN THE NIGHT THEN HAD TO RUN OUT AGAIN & NO HEAD LIGHTS, HAD FUSE CHECKED STATES FUSE BOX CORRODED, SHORTING OUT FUSES, WHILE CHECKING THEM CAR WOULD NO LONGER START, FINALLY DID GET TO WORK AFTER CHECKING ALL FUSES. SEEN ARTICLE FROM CANADA ABOUT SAME PROBLEM BUT UNITES STATES DOESN'T SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINATELY A HAZARD IF IT CAN AFFECT THE CAR ACTUALLY STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE A 2011 FORD FIESTA. IT IS A MANUAL. I'M NOT STALLING IT, BUT WHEN I'M DRIVING- WHETHER I'M STOPPED OR ACTUALLY MOVING (EVEN AT 45 + MPH) IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE RPMS SOMETIMES FALL 2-300 BELOW RANDOMLY BUT WILL COME BACK AND KEEP GOING. HOWEVER, WHEN THEY FALL AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THE VEHICLE CAN'T FIGURE OUT THAT THE RPMS SHOULD BE HIGHER, IT SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. WHEN IT ACTUALLY SHUTS OFF I HAVE NO WARNING. HERE IS THE LINK I FOUND ON INFORMATION ABOUT THE FORD FOCUS RECALLS: HTTPS://WWW.WFTV.COM/NEWS/NATIONAL-NEWS/AP-TOP-NEWS/FORD-RECALLS-NEARLY-15M-FOCUSES-BECAUSE-ENGINES-CAN-STALL/859721918 LUCKILY I HAVE A MANUAL AND I CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR EVEN WHEN I'M GOING DOWN CITY STREETS OR BUSY INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DIAGNOSE IT FOR...

TAILS LIGHTS , DOME LIGHTS INSIDE OF THE CAR DASH LIGHTS, RADIATOR ( THERMOSTAT) FAILURE CAUSING OVER HEATING .AND CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING THE FUSE BOX IS CORRODED , THE BOX WAS NOT PROPERLY MADE AS THERE IS A VENT HOLE ON IT ALLOWING SALT FROM THE WINTER STREETS DIRT WATER ETC TO ENTER THE BOX AND NOW WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE BOX, FUSES AND SEVERAL ELECTRICAL CORD ISSUES . MY PHONE IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO UP LOAD MY PHOTOS

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2018. 3 OR SO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED(FORTUNATELY THIS FELL UNDER WARRANTY SO IT WAS NO COST TO ME) AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I DID NOT CHECK TO SEE IF THE AC WAS IN WORKING ORDER SINCE IT WAS WINTER. NOW THAT IT'S GOTTEN WARMER, I FIND THAT IT DOES NOT WORK. THE UNIT WAS CHARGED AND THE COMPRESSOR WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. AFTER 3 HOURS OF DIAGNOSTICS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WATER IN THE FUSE BOX. THE ENTIRETY OF THE FUSE BOX WAS HEAVILY CORRODED. ALL OF THE FUSES HAD TO BE REPLACED, AS WELL AS FOAM SEALS PLACED, AND DIELECTRIC GREASE PLACED ON ALL THE FUSES TO PROTECT THEM FROM FUTURE DAMAGE. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE AC, AS WELL...

I'VE ONLY OWNED MY FIESTA FOR 2 YEARS AND NOW MY CAR WON'T MOVE WHEN I AM IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AS I STEP ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE. BEFORE THIS, MY CAR WOULD JERK FORWARD WHEN I WOULD GO TO ACCELERATE AND ACT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD BEFORE TO GET THE RECALLS FIXED BECAUSE MY PASSENGER DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEY FIXED THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH RECALL BUT NOW I'M HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN.

MY 2011 FORD FIESTA WITH ONLY 94K ON IT HAS A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND STARTING ISSUES. THERE ARE RECALLS ON WHERE FORD EXTENDED THE TCM WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS 150,000 MILES WHICH I BELIEVE MAY HAVE LEAD TO THE FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN ANKENY IOWA SAYS THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM..

THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AND BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING. ALTHOUGH SEVEN YEARS OLD, IT HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT FROM IT BEING WORKED ON CONSTANTLY. IT IS USELESS AS A VEHICLE.

RADIO STOPS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND LOUD STATIC SOUNDS PERSIST EVEN WHEN THE RADIO APPEARS TO BE OFF. THE SOUND IS DISTRACTING AND CAN GET REALLY LOUD TO THE POINT THAT IT IS UNBEARABLE. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR. THE SOUND CONTINUES FOR A FEW SECONDS EVEN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF.

THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY 2011 FORD FIESTA HATCHBACK SES THAT I AQUIRED FROM AN AUTO DEALER BUT NOT FROM FORD. TOOK IT TO FORD WHEN I LATER FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON DOOR LATCHES AND WENT TO HAVE THE LATCHES FIXED AND LATER THAT DAY THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW POPS OFF TRACK AND MY WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS ISSUES WITH GOING UP AND DOWN. THE FORD PLACE SAID THAT IN ORDER TO FIX THE WINDOWS IT WOULD COST 100.00 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THEY SWEAR UP AND DOWN THST THEY DIDN'T WORK IN THE DOORS BUT THE HAD TO REPLACE THE LATCHES. THE WINDOS WASWORKING FINE UNTIL I TOOK IT TO SHAFFER FORD.THEY SAID IN THE SHOP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND THE CONTROL MODULE BUT IT SEEMED TO SHIFT FINE AND I NOW HAVE A WRENCH LIGHT AND...

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. WE HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO FORD REPAIR SHOPS A NUMBER OF TIMES FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS, REPAIRS, RECALLS, ETC. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START (AMONG OTHER CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH SHAKING WHILE BRAKING, JERKING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS--BOTH OF WHICH WE'VE ALREADY HAD WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES) SO WE HAD IT TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER NEAR WHERE WE LIVE. WE FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. IT TURNS OUT THAT FORD HAS A CSP FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT AND BY THE TIME WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS, WE WERE PAST THE MILEAGE FOR THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. I AM EXTREMELY DISPLEASED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WE HAVE RECEIVED. I BELIEVE IT IS BIAS AND DISCRIMINATORY TO REPAIR PROBLEMS YOU KNOW ABOUT ONLY IF THEY ARE ON VEHICLES WITH MILEAGE UNDER 150,000. IF THERE...

"TAKATA RECALL HAD THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK PURCHASED FROM A PRIVATE. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND CAR DIED ON ME AND LEFT ME STRANDED AT A 4 WAY STOP. I TRIED TO GET VEHICLE STARTED AND IT STARTED BRIEFLY AND DIED ON ME. I WAS FRANTIC AS I AM AN OLDER LADY WITH MY GRANDCHILD THAT WAS SCARED TO DEATH. I WAS PUSHED OFF THE ROAD BY A CONCERNED CITIZEN WHO HELPED US PUSH 2011 FORD FIESTA OFF THE ROAD. I HAD THE UNIT TOWED AND HAD MOTOR REPLACED. THE CAR STILL WILL NOT RUN AND I HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL MY SAVING ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK. IT IS NOW AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STILL ARE SCRATCHING THEIR HEAD AND CANNOT FIX UNIT. IT IS LOCATED AT HALLIDAY FORD LINCOLN INCORPORATED, 1700 COLUMBUS AVE, WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, OHIO, 43160, TELEPHONE 800-358-3673.

UNABLE TO GET CAR OUT OF PARK, WHEN I DID, COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, IT STALLED IN MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET, HAD NO POWER, TRANSMISSION, STABILITY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AFTER PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDDLE A FEW TIMES, IT FINALLY, HAD ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE IT HOME.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONE OF MANY THOUSANDS TO EXPERIENCE SEVERE TRANSMISSION ISSUES, WHICH HAVE NOW BECOME SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO FORD'S INABILITY TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THIS 2011 FIESTA WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAD THE SLUGGISH FEELING EARLY ON. DEALER SAID IT WAS A "SMART ENGINE" AND WOULD HAVE TO LEARN DRIVER'S DRIVING HABITS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND GOT CONSIDERABLY WORSE AROUND 9K MILES....TOOK IT IN, FAILED TRANSMISSIONS TEST...NEW CLUTCH PUT IT. THOUGHT IT WAS FINE UNTIL IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING...FAILED TEST...NO PARTS AVAILABLE- HAD TO WAIT ON PARTS. THIS IS ABOUT THE 5TH OR 6TH TIME GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, EXCEPT THAT NOW THE PROBLEM IS THE MOST SEVERE IT'S EVER BEEN (EVEN WITH THE A NEW CLUTCH PUT IN LAST WEEK AND BEING TOLD IT WAS "FIXED'). CAR WON'T START AT TIMES, THEN WHEN IT DOES, IT DRIVES VERY SLUGGISH - OR...

MY 2011 FORD FIESTA SE WILL NOT START. ELECTRICAL ISSUES , PCM POSSIBLY. WHEN YOU TRY TO START THE CAR ALL LIGHTS FLICKER, BATTERY IS FINE AND CONTINUES TO ATTEMPT TO START EVEN AFTER THE KEY IS TURNED BACK IN NON-STARTING POSITION. THE RADIO AND USB/CHARGING PORTS DON'T WORK EITHER. THIS POTENTIAL REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME MORE THAN THIS THING IS WORTH. FORD SHOULDN'T SELL CRAP. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I NEEDED RELIABLE SAFE TRANSPORTATION NOT TO HAVE A MONEY PIT WITH NO TRANSPORTATION AND A LOAN. I LITERALLY JUST SPENT $1000 AT A GARAGE FOR MAINTENANCE AND IT WOULDN'T START WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP YESTERDAY. NOW THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS GUESSING PM! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, FORD SHOULD RECALL THE PCM AND FIX THE ELECTRICAL OR STOP RIPPING PEOPLE OFF WITH GARBAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. WHILE PUTTING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST POWER. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE TRAFFIC DIED DOWN TO PULL OUT OF THE SPACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RESET AND THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WITH MY CAR. PREVIOUSLY THE CAR GAVE OUT IN THE HILLS OF A SF. THE CAR SAID IT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NOT GIVE ANY PROPULSION RISKING GOING BACKWARD ON A HILL. THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THEY SAID THIS WAS THE FIX. THEY SAID AFTER 1000 MILES IT SHOULD FIX ITSELF. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING MUCH MORE SLUGGISH. IT FORCES ITSELF ON ACCELERATING. IT JERKS MUCH MORE EXCESSIVELY WHEN I TAKE OFF THE GAS. IT JERKS MUCH MORE WHEN I BRAKE AND I HEAR THE METAL GRINDING AND CLANKING TOGETHER. IT WAS A REALLY BAD SOFTWARE UPDATE. 1000 PASSED AND WE RAN INTO ANOTHER PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR PARKED IN THE HOUSE. TRIED TO TURN CAR BACK ON AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. I HEARD CLICKING NOISE AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD....
