FUSE BOX IS FILLED WITH DIRT. APPARENTLY IT'S AN ISSUE ON 2011 FIESTA. I WAS NOT INFORMED BY FORD ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY HAD SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THAT: TSB 17B16. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE CAR SHUTS DOWN OCCASIONALLY ON IDLE, WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. VERY SUDDEN, "CLEAN" SHUTDOWNS. NO ROUGH IDLE. QUITE OFTEN I WOULD NOT REALIZE THAT THE ENGINE IS DOWN UNTIL I PRESS ACCELERATOR AND THERE IS NO ACTION. IT IS OUT OF THE BLUE. DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC!

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...

"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.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ABOUT A 2011 FORD FIESTA SE I PURCHASED AT A PRIVATE DEALER ON JULY 1, 2016. THE CAR STARTED RUNNING VERY STRANGE AFTER A WEEK I EXPERIENCE VERY RUFF RIDES. SO I CALLED FORD COMPANY IN MCDONOUGH GA. THE PERSON I TALKED TO SAID THAT IT WAS ON RECALL AND FOR ME TO BRING IT IN, I DID. THEY KEPT IT OVER NIGHT TO UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER PROBLEMS CAUSING ME TO PAY FOR A RENTAL WHICH I FELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID BY THE DEALER OR FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I DID ASK THE DEALER IF THEY KNEW THE CAR WAS ON RECALL AND THEY SAID NO! I ASK QUESTION AFTER QUESTION, THE OWNER EVEN DROVE THE CAR HIMSELF AND SAID THAT<S THE WAY THE CAR RUNS. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR...

MY CAR HAD THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMED ON 06/06/16 AND IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS WE SPEAK 8/24/16. THE CAR JERKS, DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND IS DOING WHAT IT WANTS, VERY UNSAFE AS IT DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT AND JOLTS WHEN IT DOES. IT'S ALMOST LIKE ITS STUCK IN GEAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND I'M IRRITATED THAT THIS WAS REPAIRED 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE PROBLEM CLEARLY ISN'T FIXED. I'M PREGNANT AND AM VERY DISSAPOINTED THAT FORD CAN ALLOW A PROBLEM LIKE THIS TO CONTINUE WITHOUT PROPER RESOLUTION AND SAFETY FOR ITS CUSTOMERS.

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.

TOOK MY CAR IN TWICE FOR THE TCM AND IT'S EVEN WORSE. SHUDDERING, ELECTRICAL FAILURES,LOSS OF ENGAGEMENT WHILE DRIVING, AND WORST OF ALL FORD IS DENYING ME SERVICE UNTIL I PUT ANOTHER 1,500 MILES ON THE CAR! NOT SURE IF THIS IS EVEN LEGAL. TRYING TO PRESS FOR A LEMON LAW NOW.

I REPORTED TO STERLING MCCALL ON 8/18/14 AT 5:50 P.M. THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY 2011 FORD FIESTA. I ALSO REPORTED THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 14M01 .0N 8/20/14AT 7:19 A.M. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO STERLING MCCALL. STERLING MCCALL REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I REPORTED TO LEGACY FORD ON 9/5/14AT 4:05 P.M. TO [XXX].

CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN SNOW. IF TRYING TO START FROM A COMPLETE STOP IN 1" OF SNOW, THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL CUT POWER TO THE WHEELS, LEAVING YOU STUCK IN PLACE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN LEAVE THE DRIVER STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AS HAPPENED TO ME TODAY. FORD HAS SINCE ADDED A WAY TO DISABLE THE TRACTION CONTROL, BUT THIS MODEL YEAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE SNOW. *TR

ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR SPUTTERS DIES WONT START SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN DANGEROUS CAR ITS NOT SAFE FORD KNOWS AND WONT FIX IT. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY CHANGED TO FIX THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL AND THE SHIFT SOLENOID TO NO AVAIL DEALER CANT FIX IT WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE THE CAR SAFE. *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL ON MY 2011 FIESTA IS A DEATH TRAP. THERE IS NO OPTION ON MY SPECIFIC CAR TO DISABLE THE SYSTEM. IN MILD SNOW OR SLUSH, THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER TO THE WHEELS AS SOON AS TCS ENGAGES. I GOT STUCK AT THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVEWAY. TODAY, 2/14/14 I WAS NEARLY KILLED WHEN THE CAR GOT STUCK IN 4" OF SNOW & WAS PARTIALLY IN THE LANE OF A BUSY ROADWAY (I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT). MY FIANCE' & OUR 8 YR OLD SON (WHO IS A FACTOR 9 HEMOPHILIAC) WERE SCREAMING AND SCARED TO DEATH AS THE CAR WAS HELPLESS TO MOVE AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT LATER YEAR 2011, 2012, & 2013 MODELS HAVE THE OPTION TO TURN OFF THIS FUNCTION HOWEVER THERE IS NO WAY TO ADD THIS FEATURE TO...

MY BOYFRIEND WENT OUT TO START MY CAR UP AND WARM IT UP FOR ME... IT WOULD TURN OVER...THEN AFTER TRYING AGAIN IT STARTED. I WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK AND WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. I THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND MOVED UP A LITTLE AND THEN PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AGAIN IT WOULD GO ANY WHERE.IT WAS LIKE THE GEAR GO STUCK. I HAD TO HAVE MY BOYFRIEND PUSH MY CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY.I THEN CALLED JONES JUNCTION WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED INTO THEIR SHOP BECAUSE I HAD COVERAGE ON IT FOR REPAIR FOR THEM TO CALL ME AND SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH MYSELF AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN...

2-3" OF SNOW, CAR WOULD NOT MOVE NO POWER TO WHEELS IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, NO WAY TO DISABLE TRACTION CONTROL! COMPLAINED TO FORD AT VARIOUS LEVELS AND GOT NO SATISFACTION BASICALLY TELLING ME "TOO BAD". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION FUNCTION WAS USED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH UPHILL HOWEVER, THE TRACTION FUNCTION COULD NOT BE DISENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

VEHICLE: 2011 FORD FIESTA, MANUAL TRANS., FWD. ROAD CONDITIONS: SNOW COVERED 1-2", NO ICE UNDERNEATH, NO SLUSH BUILDUP. INCIDENT: AT STOP SIGN WAITING TO TURN LEFT ONTO ROAD. ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN EITHER DIRECTION IS THRU, NO STOP. NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ACCELERATING ACROSS TWO LANES TO TURN LEFT- DIVIDED 4 LANE MUNICIPAL ROAD 40MPH SPEED LIMIT. MIDWAY ACROSS ROAD, FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SLIP, TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED AND REMOVED POWER. CAR STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. WAS UNABLE TO MOVE VEHICLE IN 1ST/2ND/3RD GEAR WITHOUT TRACTION CONTROL REMOVING POWER. IN FIRST INSTANCE, ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO STOP WHILE I EXITED VEHICLE AND PUSHED VEHICLE INTO MEDIAN WHERE TRACTION WAS FOUND. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. AFTER SECOND OCCURRENCE, DETERMINATION WAS MADE TO ONLY TURN RIGHT TO NOT PLACE SELF AT RISK OF ACCIDENT. FOLLOW-UP RESEARCH: EARLY PRODUCTION FORD FIESTA ARE INCAPABLE OF DEACTIVATING TRACTION CONTROL. LATER MODELS DO AND IN THE 3RD PRINTING...

EARLY YEAR 2011 MODELS OF FORD FIESTA DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DISABLE THE ELEC. STABILITY CONTROL KNOWN AS ADVANCTRAC FOR DRIVING IN ICY CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL WITH SNOW AND/OR ICE COVER THE FRONT DRIVE TIRES STARTED TO SPIN SLIGHTLY. THE ENGINE AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED POWER IMMEDIATELY TO BOTH WHEELS UNTIL ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM CEASED. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE STARTED SLIDING BACKWARD DOWN THE HILL WITH NO CONTROL SINCE THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE HILL HAD A STEEP DROP-OFF ON ONE SIDE AND TREES ON THE OTHER. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OUR 2010 FORD FOCUS AND OUR 2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER UP THE SAME HILL AT THAT TIME WITH NO ISSUES OR HESITATION. A SIMILAR EVENT HAS OCCURRED ON A LEVEL ROAD WHERE THE SNOW IS DEEP AND THE VEHICLE HAS COME TO A STOP. IF BOTH TIRES...

EARLY MODEL 2011 FORD FIESTA ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH DEFEAT-ABLE TRACTION CONTROL. LATE MODEL 2011 AND ALL 2012 MODELS HAVE A MENU TO DISABLE THE FEATURE. MODERATE SNOWFALL. APPROXIMATELY 4-6 INCHES. IF VEHICLE IS STOPPED BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC, OR A STOP SIGN OR BECOMES STUCK IN THE SNOW IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE TO GET MOVING AGAIN OR TO GET UN-STUCK. THE TRACTION CONTROL IS SO AGGRESSIVE THAT THE WHEELS WILL LITERALLY NOT TURN IF ANY SLIP IS DETECTED. THIS FORCES THE DRIVER TO EXIT THEIR VEHICLE AND PUSH THE VEHICLE OR SHOVEL DOWN TO THE PAVEMENT, OR WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. EITHER WAY THE DRIVER IS EXPOSED TO TRAFFIC IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. YOU CAN SIT IN THE CAR AND HOPE NO ONE HITS YOU WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. OR YOU CAN GET OUT AND SHOVEL OR...
