2013 FORD FIESTA Unknown Or Other Problems

Transmission control module failure

Request Reversal of Recall Cancellation by the Ford Dealer. RE: Safety Recall Notice 20S30/NHTSA Recall 20V-331 VIN [XXX] ***IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL *** I have been working with the Service Manager, Forest at James Hodge Ford in Muskogee, Oklahoma, (1-918-682-1345) and Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332. In March of 2025, an inspection was completed on my 2013 Ford Fiesta in regards to this safety recall. IAW service manager performed an inspection of the door latches and closed out the recall. The issue for this recall states that my vehicle was previously repaired under Safety Recall 15S15 or 16S30. Evidently this was completed by the previous owner but it states that it is possible that one or more of the door latches was not replaced or may not have been replaced correctly. This proved to be true because in April while on vacation I was driving when my door swung open....

Transmission keeps having problems. I was told to replace transmission module

Car loses power and shudders when driving. I have pulled out into the road multiple times and had the car slow when acceleration pedal was pushed because the transmission wasn't engaging properly. We have also had a message appear on long road trips that says pull over and wait 5 minutes for transmission to cool as car begins to downshift at HIGHWAY speed!!! This has been an ongoing problem. We have been told repeatedly , well that's just how the Ford Transmission was designed by mechanics. I have been waiting for a transmission appointment with my local Ford Dealer since the end of May. The appointment was Sept. 11th. The service agent just called me to inform me the problem is the clutch and pressure plate which needs to be replaced. The car has 104, 000 miles on it. Ford is not willing to do anything to make this safety...

COMPLAINT - Request Ford Dealer to honor recall -to add me on waiting list Airport Ford service personal not helpful and abrupt TCM transmission RECALL 14M02 2013 fiesta it has 57000 miles

This happened back in NOV. 2016. I seen the the recall from Ford on 2.9 million cars. Although my make and model is not specifically named in the recall, it is exactly what happened to me. I went to eat at a diner and pulled in to the parking space. I put the car in park, and took my foot off the brake. When I did so, my car jumped forward on to the sidewalk and crashed into the building. This caused both myself and my mother who was 82 at the time to be thrown forward toward the dash and front windshield. It was necessary to call the EMS, Fire, and Ambulance to inspect the structure and tend to me and my mom.There was not any lights or warning when this happened. It was my first time experiencing this from the car. We had the car taken to the...

As I was driving on the highway, my car lost power as if it wasn't in gear anymore. Fortunately, I was in a side lane and was able to coast to the side of the road safely; I doubt I would be as lucky if I was in a middle lane. That being said, the side of the road is still dangerous. Shifting the gear selector did nothing to give me power. I put the vehicle in park and turned it off. I waited a few seconds and tried to turn it back on. It wouldn't start. I tried several more times. I then waited a few minutes and tried to start it again, this time with the car starting. I was able to get to work and drive without any issues. After work, however, my car failed to start and had to be towed. There were zero warning lights...

PURCHASED USED ON MARCH 2021 DEALERSHIP SOMEHOW MADE IT DRIVE PERFECT UNTIL I DROVE IT FOR 2 DAYS.

VEHICLE STALLING, LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING, RPMS AT 4 WHILE ON HIGHWAY @ 65-70 MPH AS IF IT NEVER CHANGED OUT OF 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. CALLED FORD AND HAD THE TCM UPDATED APRIL 2021 AT GABRIEL FORD DEALERSHIP,LIVINGSTON TEXAS.THE UPDATE DID NOT HELP AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO “DRIVE IT LIKE I STOLE IT” BUT THAT MAKES THE POWER-TRAIN ISSUES WORSE. FORD DEALERSHIP POINTED ME TO NHTSA TO WRITE A COMPLAINT. AS OF MAY 15, 2021 IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS ON HIGHWAY, LOCAL IN TOWN, LOW MPH OR 65 MPH THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO JERK, LOSE POWER, SPUTTER, AFTER UPDATING THE...

FORD FRONT AXLE AND DEFECTIVE FAULTY TRANSMISSION -2013 FORD FIESTA TWO MAJOR THINGS WENT WRONG. *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM - DEFECTIVE AND FAULTY TRANSMISSION FIRESTONE 06-08-20. *TR

FORD FAULTY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM - FORD FIESTA. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS STRAINING TO PICK BACK UP SPEED ONCE IT COMES TO A STOP OR SLOWS DOWN. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT SEEMS TO HAVE TROUBLE SWITCHING OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE IT'S A DUAL TRANSMISSION I'M SUSPECTING SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THE CLUTCH THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHUTTER.

CAR REMAINS STUTTERING IDILING HIGH THEN LOW ATEMPS TO SHUT OFF FROM TIME TO TIME, I HAVE TAKING VEHICLE TO GET CHECKED AT LOCAL FORD DEALER ONLY WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS TCM FAILURE OR MAL FUNCTION, THEY REPAIR THE PART IF IT'S AVAILABLE BUT NOW CAR STILL DOES THE SAME THING ONLY DIFFERENCE NO ONCHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON NOW ALL REPAIR HAS TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET BECAUSE THEY SAY NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED SONRHWY HAVE TO GUESS WHATBITNIS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FROM THIS MODEL VEHICLE EVEN HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WHICH I DIDN'T PARTAKE IN AND FORD JUST WON'T RECALL THIS STUPID VEHICLE. I TRUSTED FORD AND FINANCED THIS CAR FOR WHAT IT EVENTUALLY WILL GET US HURT OR EVEN KILLED.

DOOR LOCK CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MANY. ONLY 1 LOCK TO 4 DOORS THAT LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON IS IN DASHBOARD JUST BEFORE THE RADIO. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. KEY WAS NOT ON IGNITION I GOT IN VEHICLE SHUT THE DOOR AND LOCKED IT. I MISPLACED MY KEYS INSIDE CAR I TRIED GETTING OUT BY PRESSING UNLOCK.WHILE THE IGNITION WAS OFF AND VEHICLE DID NOT UNLOCK NO SOUND NOTHIN. I PANICKED NONE OF THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN UNTIL I FOUND KEY AND TURNED IGNITION TO OPEN DOORS. SOMETIMES IT DOES OPEN BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE IF MY CHILD WOULD GET STUCK IN THE CAR FOR NOT HAVING DOOR LOCKS

THIS CAR HAS BEEN TRASH EVERY SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS CAR SERVICED SO MANY TIMES FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT REASONS. MY COMPLAINT TODAY IS THE COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT PLUS IT IS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATER. ANY SUGGESTIONS? HAS ANY ONE ELSE COMPLAINED? IF YOU CHECK THE HISTORY ON THIS CAR YOU WILL FIND ALL THE TROUBLE I HAVE HAD TO ADDRESS?

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR SHUTTERS THEN IT LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING

WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY PASSENGER DOOR OPENED AS IT HAD NOT LATCHED. MECHANISM APPARENTLY BROKE FOR NO REASON AND DOOR WILL NOT LATCH.

THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH ON MY 2013 FORD FIESTA SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE FORD GARAGE SAID IT WOULD BE $306.83 + TAX TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED. THE CURRENTLY BROKEN PART REPLACED A RECALLED DOOR LATCH IN 2016, BUT APPARENTLY ONLY HAD A 2 YEAR WARRANTY. THE DOOR LATCH BROKE FOR THE SAME REASON AS THE 2015-2016 RECALL, BUT THERE IS NO CURRENTLY SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART. I SHUT THE DOOR AND THOUGHT IT WAS CLOSED. AFTER DRIVING 4 MILES, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE/LATCH PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS BACKING UP WHEN THE ALERT DINGED ON THE DASH SAYING THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN. THE ALERT DID NOT SOUND WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED, WHICH CONCERNS ME THAT THE WIND CAUGHT THE OPENING OF THE DOOR WHILE GOING IN REVERSE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS JUST AS FAULTY AS THE RECALLED DOOR...

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE CAR STALLING WHEN ACCELERATING WHILE TRYING TO COMPLETE TURNS IN TRAFFIC DURING TURN SIGNALS. I HAVE AT ONE POINT A SITUATION AT A STOP LIGHT WHERE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND CAR WENT FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. ADDITIONALLY SINCE ALMOST THE BEGINNING OF THE VEHICLE IT HAS RUN ROUGH, SOMETIMES HAVING DIFFICULTY CHANGING GEARS, MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WHERE IT STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING ON INTERSTATE. HAD 2 DIFFERENT REPAIRS TO REVIEW PROBLEM, INCLUDING FORD COMPUTER FIX THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP, BUT DID NOT. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THESE INSTANCES. INSTANCE I DEMOTED ON CALENDAR INVOLVED VEHICLE STALLING AT TURNS WHICH HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL

I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER OWNING THE CAR A FEW MONTHS. AT ONLY 30K MILES. THANK GOD IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT INTO A DEALER SINCE BECAUSE OF THE OTHER COMMENTS AND COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN REGARDING THIS CAR. THE CAR CONTINUES TO JERK FORWARD WHEN MOVING FROM A STOP. THE CAR CONSTANTLY SHUDDERS WHEN DRIVING. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. I EVEN HAD TO PULL THE FUSE OUT FOR THE RADIO BECAUSE THE SPEAKERS WOULD CONSTANTLY POP, EVEN WITH THE RADIO OFF. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE EVEN WITH NEW TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS CAR. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REPLACED, THE SAME PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT CONTINUE. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME NOR THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT FIXABLE. I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT...

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION STUTTERS VIOLENTLY BEFORE 'KICKING INTO GEAR' AND ACCELERATING LIKE EXPECTED. IT'S EVERYDAY.

BACK IN MAY, I GOT A CAR FROM ABILENE USED CAR SALES THAT I AM CURRENTLY LEASING FROM. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION, IT WOULD TAKE MULTIPLE SLAMS TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED. AFTER A COUPLE MORE WEEKS, THE BACK RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING. ANOTHER WEEK LATER, THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS ALSO BEING DIFFICULT TO CLOSE. SO, WITHIN A MONTH, 3 OF THE 4 DOORS WOULD REQUIRE HARD SLAMMING TO CLOSE. SOMETIMES THEY WOULDN'T CLOSE AT ALL & BECAUSE OF THIS, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN MY OWN VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS & HELP ME GET THIS FIXED

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WON'T LATCH. WHEN CAR IS IN LOCKED MODE, YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE. WHEN IN MOTION DOOR WILL SWING OPEN.*DT CONSUMER STATED BOTH LATCHES WERE REPLACED, REAR PASSENGER AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH. VIN IS INVALID.*JB

I AM GETTING A LOUD STATIC POPPING SOUND FROM THE RADIO.. RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON .LIGHTS INSIDE THE DASHBOARD FLASH ON AND OFF. HEADLIGHTS DIM..THE NOISE IS VERY LOUD AND SCARY. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTING NO SPECIAL TIME .. AT TIMES MAKES THE NOISE AND THE CAR ISN'T EVEN ON. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM DRIVING AND AT TIMES WHEN I OPEN THE CAR DOOR. I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2013 FORD FIESTA SE. I TAKE MY CAR FOR REGULAR MAINTENENCE. I REPLACED MY FRONT AND REAR BRAKES IN DECEMBER. A MONTH OR TWO AGO I FELT AN ANOMALY IN MY SUSPENSION AND BRAKES. THE CAR KEPT FEELING LIKE HAD A SHIMMY WHILE DRIVING. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE. I HAD MY VEHICLE VISUALLY INSPECTED AND NOTHING WAS NOTED. I FINALLY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO KENDRICKS BODY SHOP IN AIKEN, SC AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKES HAD FAILED CAUSING THEM TO GO THROUGH THE REAR BACKING PLATE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED AND IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. ERROR CODE P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD (BANK 1); REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS SUGGESTED. FORD IS CLAIMING THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER THE EPA.GOV WEBSITE STATES THE CLEAN AIR ACT CARS ARE TO HAVE AN 8 YR/80K MILES WARRANTY. FORD DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF THIS LAW.

PURGE VALVE CAUSED FUEL TANK TO BE SUCKED IN 3/4 OF AN INCH. WHILE DRIVING I HAVE SURGING AND WHEN STOPPED THE IDLE IS ERRATIC AND BOUNCES BETWEEN 1000 TO 2000 RPM. CAUSES CODE P0300 TO COME AND GO AND ALSO P0497 TO COME AND GO. EXTREMELY HARD FOR DEALERSHIPS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURE PROOF OF ISSUE.

DRIVER DOOR LATCH WON'T CLOSE AND LATCH. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. CALLED FORD DEALER WHO STATED MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. RESEARCH INDICATES THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL DOOR LATCHES. PLEASE HELP!

THE CAR RANDOMLY DOES NOT START THIS ALL BEGAN AFTER MY TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING BEING UPDATED AND NOW MY PCM IS FAILING AND SOMETIMES THEY CAR EXCELLERATES AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGHER THAN NORMAL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED. RANDOM CODES APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR. ONE TIME MY CAR TURNED OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING.

ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2018, MY FORD FIESTA (2013 SE 4 DR) RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR SUDDENLY, AND INEXPLICABLY, FAILED TO LATCH, POSING A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. HOWEVER, I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WITH A STRAP WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEIR RESPONSE WAS "THESE THINGS GIVE OUT FROM TIME TO TIME". I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT AND CONDUCTED ONLINE RESEARCH INTO THE PERSISTENT PROBLEM OF FIESTA DOOR LATCH FAILURES. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR'S MAIN NUMBER AND WAS TOLD MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR RECALL # 15S16 (DOOR LATCH FAILURES). HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS PRODUCED AT THE SAME FACTORY, AND DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD, AS THE EFFECTED RECALLED FIESTA VEHICLES. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON AUGUST 14, 2012, IN CUAUTITLAN, MEXICO. IN 2015, FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUED RECALL 15S16 FOR FIESTAS PRODUCED AT THE CUAUTITLAN PRODUCTION SITE FOR CARS...

FRONT DRIVER SIDE WONT CLOSE. HATCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DEALER SAID IT WILL COST AROUND $500 TO REPLACE. I SAW AN ARTICLE OF HATCHES ON RECALL FROM 2012 TO 2014.

IN 2016 DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING, FORD FIXED DOOR LATCHES,ALL DOORS, UNDER A RECALL. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE REAR DOORS FAILED AGAIN. I WAS CHARGED TO REPAIR THE LATCH. ON SEPT 1, 2018 THE PASSENGERS BACK DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND WILL NOT LATCH AGAIN. CALLED DEALER AND THEY STATED I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET, PART IS OUT OF STOCK.

I OPENED MY BACK PASSENGER SEAT AND CLOSED IT. WHEN I CLOSED IT, IT DIDNT CLOSE. I CANT CLOSE MY DOOR NOW.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LATCH SHUT, PROMPTING THE DASHBOARD TO READ THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY FIESTA EVER SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I GOT IT BACK IN 2015. WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR STARTS TO JERK LIKE ITS NOT TRANSITIONING INTO THE NEXT GEAR CORRECTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND EVEN THE FORD IN MY AREA AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ONE OF MY CO WORKERS HAS THE SAME CAR AND SAYS THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO HER ALL THE TIME AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY MORE SO WHEN YOU ARE A STOP AND BEGIN TO SPEED UP. ITS A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING AND IT MAKES FOR A BAD RIDE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR AND YOU ALL START JERKING BECAUSE OF THE CAR. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE...

STRANGE EGG TYPE SMELL COMING FROM VENTS WHEN I TURN ON HEATER, DIFFICULT TO BREATH IN CAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTING SUDDENLY SOUNDING LIKE FIREWORKS WERE GOING OFF. LOUD, AND SCARY NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT. CONTINUED TO BLAIR STARTLING LOUD SOUNDS FOR PROLONGED TIME.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LATCH SHUT. THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVE WAY AND WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR IT WOULD NOT CLOSE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A SUDDEN SCREECHING, POPPING AND CRACKING SOUNDS STARTLED ME TO THE POINT I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR, AFTER PARKING THE CAR ON A SIDE STREET AND TURNING IT COMPLETELY OFF THE SOUNDS CONTINUED ON. THE CAR HAS BLUETOOTH AND SYNC WHICH WILL NOT WORK TO TURN OFF THE SOUNDS. BOTH SYSTEMS ARE DOWN. I HAD SOMEONE LOOK AT THE CAR BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING LOOKED WRONG THEY DID HOWEVER CHECK ALL THE FUSES AND SPEAKERS WITH CONFUSED ME. I CHECKED FOR RECALL ON THE CAR BUT FOUND NONE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, I DID FIND LOTS OF ONLINE BLOGS AND WEBSITES TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HOPE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, IT REALLY IS DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THIS CONDITION

MY DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT. I CAN CLOSE IT BUT THE LATCH DOESN'T LOCK AND I'LL HAVE TO DUCT TAPE THE DOOR CLOSED TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT HOME WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR TO GET STUFF OUT THE BACKSEAT, THEN TRIED TO CLOSE IT AND IT WOULD NOT LOCK. I'VE RARELY USED THIS REAR PASSENGER DOOR SINCE I'M THE ONLY USER OF THIS VEHICLE AND USE THE HATCHBACK TRUNK WITH THE SEATS DOWN, SO I REACH IN OUT THROUGH THE TRUNK MOSTLY.

IT STARTED SMOKING ALL OF A SUDDEN FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT REVEALING THE REAL PROBLEMS IN THE RECALL NOTICE

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY MY CAR BEGAN SMOKING AND BEGAN TO OVERHEAT WHICH CAUSED A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD THAT SPRAYED OIL ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF MY HOOD SPARKING A SMALL FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE COMPUTER BEGAN TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND DISPLAYED A WARNING MESSAGE THAT STATED SUDDEN LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE, PLEASE PREPARE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. JUST AS I READ THAT MESSAGE THE BRAKES STARTED TO LOCK AND THE STEERING BECAME HARDER TO TURN AS I TRIED TO GET OFF THE NEXT EXIT FROM THE EXPRESSWAY. I REINJURED MY BROKEN ANKLE IN TRYING TO KEEP STOP AND CONTROL THE CAR. ONCE PULLED OVER THE CAR CONTINUED TO SMOKE AND NO LONGER STARTED. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AND IT WAS DENIED AS THEY FOUND THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO RECALL MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL BREAKDOWN STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I WENT ONLINE AND...

DOOR IS HAVING TROUBLE LATCHING. SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE THE DOOR IS CLOSES AND COMES UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING. TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES HAS RESULTED IN A DENT IN THE DOOR AND BROKEN INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE.

2013 FORD FIESTA HAD DOOR LATCHES REPLACED IN JANUARY 2016 UNDER RECALL. NO PROBLEMS HAD OCCURRED WITH THE DOORS PREVIOUSLY ON THIS VEHICLE. 18 MONTHS LATER, THE REPLACED DOOR LATCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE FAILED LATCH WAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR WHICH IS RARELY USED.

CAR SHAKES AND SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATES. AT TIMES IT JERKS AND HESITATES WHEN STOPPED. WHEN MOVING FORWARD SOUNDS LIKE GEARS GRINDING , IT IS AUTOMATIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT 4 TIMES TO FORD IN COCOA FLORIDA WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND TO BE REPAIRED AND IT STILL MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS AND JERKING! I AM VERY CAUTIOUS TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC, AFRAID FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO BE RIDING IN IT.
