2012 FORD FIESTA Unknown Or Other Problems

The drivers side door latch will not latch, the door will swing open because the latch is defective. I have seen that this is a common issue with this vehicle and has been recalled on other 2012 ford fiestas but mine has not been.

The door latches have a safety recall and needs to be fixed or observed to ensure proper road safety. In addition I cannot move onto my vehicle registration renewal until this recall is repaired. I do not see any visible malfunction but the doors do have to slam shut to ensure they are properly closed. No individuals have been put at risk. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center, nor inspected by any party. No warning signals, signs or lights appeared on the car telling me about the particular issue or area with issue.

My car has had transmission issues since I purchased the car, and the problems has gotten worse and now the car is not drivable. I have purchased parts after parts and still the problem. I have reached out to the company numerous times, and reached out to programs. Iam stuck without a car now.What do I need to do

While driving along the transmission slipped into neutral and would not move forward.Could have been hit from behind.

Incident= on February 15, 2023 While vehicle is in drive, upon stopping going up a slight hill, the vehicle started rolling backwards.I did not do anything except slow down/stop. It failed to engage in any gear after it started sliding back, including reverse to try to get me out of traffic ( the gear shifter was just sliding without resistance) except park for almost 15 minutes. My mother and my dog were in the car with me at this time. We were also in the left lane of traffic/ during moderate traffic. The car is an automatic. The vehicle finally engaged in low gear and I was able to drive 10mph to get home. Mechanic, the next morning, stated that my transmission is slipping/not engaging properly. He also advised against driving. And, gave me a really long list of diagnostic codes pertaining to my transmission. My check engine light is...

2012 ford fiesta check engine light on codes reading o2 sensors, catalytic intake, misfires, fuel injection, etc. I have had my fiesta at 3 mechanics all very known for there reliability all diagnosing it different issue recommending me to go to dealership which I was turned away because the recalls for the vehicle isn’t an issue for any of the possible diagnostics. Single mother of 3 now no vehicle, no money and no way of providing without transportation. Less than 150,000 Miles owned less than two years and the amount of money put into the vehicle ford should be ashamed. Shuddering and accelerating issue was told clutch and transmission issue but no help or actual known diagnosis since ford won’t diagnose the suspected diagnosis from any of the mechanics I have taken the vehicle to and they can’t for sure diagnose it until ford confirms the diagnosis since this is...

The door is not closing or locking I want to open the door and get groceries down and then when I went to close it it wouldn’t close the latch on it is not working

The transmission is slipping and jerking. I can't change gears without a issue and the car stops. The engine revs even when I am not going fast.the transmission says it is overheating and I got my fan fixed months ago and had done it before but seemed to repair itself so I thought.

started and moved the gear lever from "P" mode to "D" mode to move the vehicle forward. But couldn't move the vehicle. So tried to changed the gear mode and move but couldn't do. Then switched off the engine and tried to switch on. But couldn't do it. Tried several times and started the vehicle but couldn't move the vehicle, because the gear lever moved only physically. The "Check engine" light was lit all the time on the dash board. We had to tow the vehicle to the dealership since we couldn't drive the vehicle.

I WAS TOLD FROM A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC THAT MY DUAL TRANSMISSION WAS THE MAIN CAUSE FOR THE CAR STUTTERING AND HAVING A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING AND IT'S SOMETHING THEY CAN'T FIX ONLY FORD CAN, THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT STOP SIGN AND TURNING CORNERS

THE DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN, THE DOOR IS OPEN . I CALL A FORD DEALER AND THEY TELL ME, THAT THEY CAN'T DO THE SERVICE BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T HAVE THIS PART AVAILABLE.

DOOR LATCH FAILURES X 3 AFTER REPLACEMENT OF ALL PER RECALL NOTICE 15V-246. (12/2015)

RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 20S30 (20V-331). CALL MY DEALER TO TAKE IT IN. "NO ONE HERE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. CAN YOU CALL BACK?" I RESPONDED, "IT'S FORD'S SAFETY RECALL - I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE MY NUMBER AND YOU CALL BACK." NO, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. WHAT A LOUSY WAY TO RESPOND.

THE LOW BEAMS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I NOW CANNOT DRIVE AFTER DARK AND IF I HAVE AN EMERGENCY WITH ONE OF MY THREE KIDS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THEM ANYWHERE. HIGH BEAM AND PARKING LIGHTS WORK. REPLACED HEADLIGHT BULBS AND STILL WON'T WORK. THERE WAS A RECALL IN CANADA BUT NOT THE USA. IT'S BEEN MONTHS AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE FUSE BOX REPLACED. RADIO HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS

I JUST BOUGHT A 2012 FORD FIESTA FROM A DEALERSHIP BACK IN AUGUST. I SEARCHED THE WEBSITE, ONCE THE ISSUE CAME TO SURFACE, AND IT IS PART OF A RECALL. THE RECALL IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT STARTED ON MY CAR LAST NIGHT. THE DOOR DOESN'T CLOSE AT ALL/THE LATCH DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE BEEN PAYING MONTHY PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND NOW I NEED SOME INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET MY CAR FIXED.

IN 2017 MY BACK DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT SHUT, I DROVE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LATCHES ON FORD FIESTA 2012 WERE RECALLED AND THAT ALL THE LATCHES HAD TO BE REPLACED. LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH BROKE AGAIN AND I TO IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN FIXED BEFORE UNDER RECALL AND WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET, I SAID I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS EVER FIXED, AND I WAS TOLD THAT PART WAS ORDERED IN 2017. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT TAKE MY CAR UNTIL I FOR THE ANALYSIS RAN ON IT, WHICH WE ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS AND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN DONE FOR FREE, I WAS TOLD IT SHOWED THAT MY LOCK HAD TO BE CHANGED ALSO, BUT WHEN I WAS CALLED TO AND TOLD THAT MY...

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I WAS A 24 YEAR OLD SINGLE FEMALE WHEN I WENT TO THE FOX FORD DEALERSHIP IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI IN EARLY 2012. WHEN I SAW THE FORD FIESTA IN THE SHOWROOM I THOUGHT IT WAS 'CUTE.' I TEST DROVE IT AND THOUGHT IT SOUNDED A LITTLE LOUD BUT DIDN'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS SO I IGNORED IT AND TOLD THE SALESMAN I WANTED TO START THE PURCHASE PROCESS. I ENDED UP LEASING THE CAR IN MARCH 2012. BY SEPTEMBER 2012, I MOVED TO ARIZONA AND TOOK A JOB WITH CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. I STARTED NOTICING MY CAR JERKED A LOT AROUND 20,000 MILES (EARLY 2013). WHENEVER I WENT IN FOR MY OIL CHANGE AT EARNHARDT FORD IN CHANDLER, AZ I MENTIONED THE SHUDDERING AND JERKING OF THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS JUST A 'CHARACTERISTIC' OF THE CAR AND IT COULDN'T BE...

CAR HESITATES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE GEARS. A MESSAGE COMES UP SAYING TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION AND THE OTHER MESSAGE SAYS NEEDS SERVICE NOW. ANOTHER PROBLEM APPEARS AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES IT TENDS TO SPEED UP BEFORE COMING TO A STOP.

TAKATA RECALL FOR MY 2012 FORD FIESTA SE. THERE IS A HESITATION/JUMPING MOTION WHEN ACCELERATING. I WAS TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS.

LEFT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH POPPED OPEN WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED ALL THE RECALL DOOR LATCHES. A YEAR LATER THE RIGHT BACK PASSENGER DOOR LATCH DID THE SAME THING. IT WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY THAT WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE. TWO DAYS AGO, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAS POPPED. IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, SO IT IS AN UNEXPECTED OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE COMBINED WITH A RENTAL WHILE MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP. SO NOW, THREE OUT OF FOUR REPLACED RECALL PARTS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. SO IF THE RECALL REPLACEMENTS ARE NOT WORKING, HOW OFTEN AM I GOING TO BE IN THE SHOP WITH UNRELIABLE RECALL REPLACEMENTS?

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND HESITATES ALL THE TIME. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUES DUE TO WHEN ACCELERATING TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC IT SHUDDERS AND HESITATES AND WON'T ACCELERATE WHILE DOING THIS. I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS WHILE THE ENGINE DIED IN TRAFFIC BUT I OVERLOOKED IT WORRYING ABOUT PAYING MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED. 2 DAYS AGO, THE CAR COULDN'T REVERSE AND THE NEXT DAY, IT COMPLETE DIED ON ME.

MY FORD FIESTA 2012 WAS PART OF RECALL 15S16 FOR LATCH FAILURE. ON 9/15/2018 MY LEFT REAR LATCH FAILED WHILE DRIVING. FORD IS CLAIMING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL, BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT EITHER THE RECALL WAS NOT PERFORMED AS STATED OR IT WAS FIXED WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS. FORD AT THIS TIME IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND SATISFY THE RECALL.

WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE, THERE IS NO POWER. THE TRANSMISSION THEN KICKS BACK AND IT GOES FLYING OVER 4000 RPMS BEFORE IT WILL SHIFT. WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL RANDOMLY GIVE A SLIGHT KICK AND LOSE POWER, DESPITE NOT INCREASING OR DECREASING PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS, I THEN GOT IT "FIXED" UNDER WARRANTY (TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY) BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM, AND THEY WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS OR EMAILS. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY EITHER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ONLY A YEAR AGO AND THE KBB VALUE HAS ALREADY DROPPED TO LESS THAN WHAT I STILL OWE, PRESUMABLY IN PART DUE TO THE LAWSUIT. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WHAT TO DO NOW. NOT ONLY AM I FINANCIALLY HURTING BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT...

OK WHEN I GOTTEN THIS CAR I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED 4 TIMES MY DOOR LATCHES ARE BROKEN SO WHEN I DRIVE A DOOR FLYS OPEN WITHOUT ME EVEN KNOWING I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR NOW I HAD ONE ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF MY DOOR UNLOCKING TRYIN TO HOLD IT CLOSE SO I CAN PULL OVER AND I GOTTEN IT FIXED BEFORE FOR ONE DOOR NOW I HAVE ANOTHER DOOR OR THE RIGHT SIDE CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS ALSO WHEN I PRESS ON MY GAS IT STOPS WHEN I'M NOT EVEN IN PARK AND THAT ALSO CAUES A PROBLEM

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH SHUT,,, FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING......

I RECEIVED A FORD FOCUS/FIESTA TRANSMISSION SETTLEMENT CARD IN THE MAIL. FORD FIESTA 2011 - 2016 MODELS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER SHIFT DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I STILL OWE 8,000.00 OR MORE ON THIS CAR. I'M ON A FIXED INCOME WITH A FEW DISABILITIES. I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FORD PROBLEMS. HELP! I'M AFRAID OF BEING KILLED IN A FORD PRODUCT. THE CAR SHUTTERS, STALLS, JERKS, HESITATES WHEN DRIVING. BUT THE DAY I PURCHASED IT I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE WAY IT DROVE

SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH

WHEN IT RAINS THE DOORS OR WINDOWS LEAKS AND THE INSIDE GETS MOLD ALL OVER. I HAD THE DOOR LATCHES FIXED BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO SHUT THE REAR PASSENGER WOULD NOT SHUT, OPENED UP WHEN I WAS ABOUT THREE BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE ALREADY AND I HAVE TAKEP IT IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. THE CLUTCH DOESN'T SHIFT WHEN IT SUPPOSED TO, WHEN AT LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS.

I PURCHASED A FORD FIESTA THAT HAS A FACTORY DEFECTED TRANSMISSION, FORD REFUSES TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULTY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION BUT ONLY TO EXTEND A WARRANTY UNTIL 100K . THIS IS TO REPLACE PARTS AND RESET COMPUTER WHICH HAS NOT WORKED AND RIGHTLY SO AS THE FAULTY DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION IS THE PROBLEM AND THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND HESITATES THEN VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATES WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU ARE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING,HESITATING AND THEN EVENTUAL SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD WITH TRAFFIC HEADING TOWARDS YOU. YOU CAN NOT PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC SAFELY ON ANY ROADS OR HIGHWAYS. ONCE IN THE LANE STILL THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHILE THIS SHUDDERING AND HESITATION IS GOING ON AND THEN EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ACCELERATES BUT WILL JUMP FORWARD...

RADIO SPEAKERS STARTED CUTTING OUT AND MAKING POPPING/CRACKLING NOISES FOR WEEKS, EVEN IF THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF OR IF THE VOLUME WAS TURNED DOWN, THEN THE RADIO DIED COMPLETELY. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RADIO FOR $400, BUT APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THESE CARS.

I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 301 AND WATER COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED A FEW FEET AT FIRST STATION. WATER WAS POURING OUT MY RADIATOR. I GOT A TOW AND TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID MINE WAS THIRD CAR IN A WEEK THIS HAPPENED TO IN STATESBORO GA AREA. PLASTIC FAN BROKE WENT THRU RADIATOR AND BLOWED THE HEAD GASKET. REPAIR MAN SAID PROBABLY IN 3 SECONDS FLAT. TWO WEEKS BEFORE HAD OIL CHANGES AND DAY OF EMERGENCY CHECKED ALL WATER AND OIL BEFORE LEAVING HOME. I AM A WIDOW AND THIS IS GONE COST ME AROUND 2,000 AND I AM IN BANKRUPTCY. I JUST WONDER IF THIS IS A RECALL OR SHOULD BED. MY WARRANTY IS OUT BUT I ONLY HAVE 66,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THOUGHT IT WAS LAST LOTS MORE YEARS. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME. I REALLY LOVE MY CAR BUT...

VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN PARK AND COULD NOT BE SHIFTED INTO OTHER GEARS. THIS OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTING INTO PARK. ONCE IN PARK IT COULD NOT BE SHIFTED TO ANY OTHER GEAR. THE CAR COULD BE STARTED AND TURNED OFF WHILE IN PARK. ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE OKAY. COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH THE INTERLOCK MECHANISM, BUT NEEDED A NEW SHIFTER ASSEMBLY.

CAR SLOWS DOWN THEN SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. CAR IS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER. OTHER TIMES VEHICLE ACCELARATES EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP VEHICLE THEN SHUTS OFF. CAR RESTARTS AFTER. TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY REPAIRED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF AFTER REPAIR.

AS I STARTED MY DAY DRIVING TO WORK MY CARS ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND IT DROVE WITH RESISTANCE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND DROVE IT BACK HOME WHICH WAS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. I THEN HAD IT TOWED THE NEXT DAY . THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED ME ASKING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND I TOLD THEM THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND THAT HE SHOULD BE TELLING ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS HE WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR WAS DEAD NO POWER AT ALL SO THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC READING. WHICH I LEARNED IS UNTRUE. AFTER CHANGING MY SPARK PLUGS AND DRIVE BELT MY FAN STOPS WORKING AND PROBLEM STILL NOT SOLVED. A CODE IS NOW COMING UP THAT THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT MEANS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SPOKE TO A...

I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL ON FORD FIESTA DOOR LATCHES IN JUNE 2015, STATING THAT MORE INFORMATION WOULD BE SEND WHEN SUFFICIENT PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT WERE SENT TO ALL FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THAT IF I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD REPORT TO A DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. SOON AFTER RECEIVING THAT LETTER MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. I WENT TO CAPITAL FORD IN RALEIGH NC TO HAVE THE LATCH REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS NOT "OFFICIAL" AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOT RECEIVED A SHIPMENT OF REPLACEMENT DOOR LATCHED FROM FORD THAT ONLY THE BROKEN DOOR LATCH WOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE, BUT THAT WHEN THE PARTS WERE SENT AND THE RECALL WAS "OFFICIAL" THAT THE REMAINING DOOR LATCHES WOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO ME. JUST THIS WEEK, MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR NOW WILL NOT CLOSE. I CALLED CAPITAL FORD AGAIN...

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, MAYBE A YEAR, I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES TO CONTACT MY DEALER ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL OF THE PAWL SPRING TAB INSIDE ONE OR MORE OF THE SIDE DOOR LATCHES. I HAVE DULY CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND IN EVERY CASE WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF HONORING THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2012 FORD FIESTA IT IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT, HAS A SHUDDERING, JERKING MOTION, RATTLING SOUND, CAR JERKS DURING SHIFTING ENOUGH TO THROW YOU FORWARD AT TIMES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION SHIFTING IN ALL GEARS MOSTLY 3RD TO 4TH GEAR AND WHEN YOU STOP. UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN CAR IS SHIFTING INTO GEAR. IN PREVIOUS REPAIRS HAS GONE BACKWARDS WHEN AT A STOP. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND IS NOW REPLACING CLUTCH FOR THE 5TH TIME. THIS IS THE 3RD VERSION OF THE CLUTCH UNABLE TO FIX AND UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SEVERAL TIMES HAVE RECEIVED RENTAL CAR FROM FORD SERVICE IN ACTON MA TOLD UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NOW GOING IN FOR 5TH CLUTCH TOLD SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS NOT. WILL NOT REPLACE CAR ONLY CLUTCH DUE TO LEMON LAWS IN MA. HAS HAS BEEN IN...

TROUBLE WITH TRANSMISSION MAKING THE CAR SHAKE, JERK BUCK AND DIFFICULT TO STOP. TAKEN TO FORD THREE TIMES THIS YEAR AND TWICE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND THE SAME TRANSMISSION LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHICH DISABLES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE.

CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS UNCONTROLLABLY. LURCHES INTO INTERSECTIONS AFTER COMING TO A STOP WHEN CLUTCH FAILS TO DISENGAGE. UNPREDICTABLE SPEED. DOES NOT ACCELERATE ONTO FREEWAY. JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN TAKING FOOT ON OR OFF GAS PEDAL. DANGEROUS AND TERRIFYING. REPLACEMENT CLUTCH HAS BEEN ORDERED BY DEALERSHIP AND IS BACKORDERED 3 MONTHS. THEY MUST BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

RIGHT SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT SHUT. DOES NOT LATCH. CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED AND WHEN OPENED FOR A PASSENGER TO ENTER THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE.

TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH HAS MAJOR DESIGN FLAWS. WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS REPRGRAMMED TWICE AND THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AS WELL. IS GOING BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE, FOR WHAT WILL NOW BE THE 4TH TIME, TO POTENTIALLY HAVE ANOTHER CLUTCH REPLACED. THE VECHICLE "SPUTTERS" AND JERKS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE PURCHASE OF THE CAR, BUT MOST RECENTLY 4/21/2016.

I PURCHASED A 2012 FORD FIESTA LAST WEEKEND AND NOTICED THE DAY AFTER THAT AS I DROVE, THE FRONT OF THE CAR WOULD RATTLE. THEN I NOTICED WHEN I WOULD STOP AND GO THE CAR WOULD TAKE AWHILE TO ACCELERATE. I REGISTERED THE CAR ON SYNC (ASSOCIATED BY FORD) AND IT INDICATED 2 ITEMS WERE FAULTY. MADE AN APT WITH FORD WHO WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. ON THE WAY TO DROP OFF THE CAR AFTER I MADE A STOP, I ACCELERATED IT WENT BUT THEN SUDDENLY CAME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP ON ITS OWN LUCKILY THEN CAUGHT AND ACCELERATED, IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. FORD CHARGED ME $105 TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS THEN SAID THAT IT HAD TO HIT 250 WITH THE SHUDDERING AND MY CAR WAS ONLY AT 180, AFTER PUSHING THE SERVICE GUY WE GOT HIM TO ADMIT HE KNEW IT...

I PURCHASED A 2012 FORD FIESTA AUTOMATIC LITERALLY 3 DAYS AGO. AFTER ONLY 3 SHORT DAYS OF DRIVING IT, IT SAYS "TRANSMISSION SERVICE NOW", AND ALSO HAS SHUTTERING IN ACCELERATION AND DELAY IN ACCELERATION. IT FRIGHTENS ME OFTEN WHEN I AM PULLING OUT, TURNING OR AT A STOP AND GO. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT WILL SHUTTER THEN RECEIVE A HUGE BURST OF SPEED. WHICH WILL THEN CAUSE ME TO SWERVE ALMOST LOSING CONTROL OR WILL CAUSE ME TO ALMOST REAR END THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME.

APM CONTROL MODULE ATTACHED TO RADIO WAS EXPLAINED TO ME BY BENNIE AT JOHN BLEAKLEY FORD LITHIA SPRINGS GA.. RADIO WAS MAKING A LOUD STATIC NOISE WOULD EVEN MAKE IT WITH THE CAR IGNITION TURNED OFF. EVEN SETTING OVERNIGHT WOULD BE START MAKING THIS LOUD NOISE FOR NO REASON.B ENNIE TOLD ME THIS MODULE CONTROLED SEVER THINGS ON THIS VEHICLE AND COULD POSSIBLY PUT ME ON THE ROAD SIDE. I TRAVEL ALOT. THIS NOISE CAN NOT BE CONTROLED BY THE ON/ OFF OR VOLUME CONTROL. JOHN BLEAKLEY REPLACED SO CALLED MODULE IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. THEY SAID THAT THE PART THEY PUT ON WAS A BAD PART AND WOULD REORDER ANOTHER ONE. STILL WAITING 3 WEEKS LATER GOING ON 4 FOR PART TO COME IN TO REPLACE. AND OF COURSE I HAVE ALREADY PAID MY 500.00 PLUS DOLLARS FOR REPAIR. CAN YOU HELP ME OR ADVISE ME WHY...

FORD FIESTA 2012 TRANSMITION SHAKES EVERYTIME I GO FROM STOP TO FIRST AND SECOND GEAR, IT VIBRATES AND HESITATES HORRIBLE, AND THE DEALERS KEEP SAYING IT IS "NORMAL" EVEN THOUGH I TEST DROVE A NEW FORD FIESTA AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SELL IT LIKE THIS, AND IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS "NORMAL"!

I BOUGHT MY FIESTA LAST YEAR IN MARCH. SINCE THE DAY I GOT THE CAR IT HAS VIOLENTLY SHAKEN AND SHUDDERED WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND MOVING THE CAR FORWARD. IT MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM THAT IT'S NOT THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT "IT'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE THAT." I DON'T THINK SO AND AFTER READING ALL OF THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS, I'M STARTING TO GET FRUSTRATED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CORRECTED. MY CAR HAD SOMEWHAT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND FEAR FOR MYSELF FINANCIALLY IF THIS VEHICLE DIES BEFORE IT EVEN TURNS 5 YEARS OLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

RECALL--IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR THE PAWL SPRING TAB INSIDE ONE OR MORE OF THE SIDE DOOR LATCHES TO BREAK. THIS CONDITION WILL TYPICALLY PREVENT THE DOOR FROM LATCHING. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, WHERE THE DOOR IS ABLE TO BE CLOSED, THE DOOR MAY UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. WE HAD THE RECALL REPAIRS DONE OUR VEHICLE AND WAS CHARGED $22 TOWARD THE RENTAL OF CAR BECAUSE REPAIRS COULD NOT BE DONE IN HALF A DAY. THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE TO BE DONE WITH NO CHARGE TO US BUT BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP (DICK SMITH FORD, RAYTOWN, MO) DID NOT COVER ALL RENTAL CHARGES WE HAD TO PAY $22 BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET REPAIRS DONE WITHIN ONE DAY.
