Trunk latch releases randomly. Like so many other people with this generation of Ford Fiesta. They have taken them in for the same issue and told they don't by the shop that they don't know what the problem is. The problem is random so getting to to happen while at the shop is next to impossible. If the problem can't be reproduced by a garage mechanic, how would Insurance, or police have any luck? There needs to be a recall, because some people are having them pop open while driving at night, and all of a sudden the interior lights come on, safety hazard!!! Some will pop open and kill the battery because the dome light comes on when the trunk opens. Then you're standing in subzero temperatures trying to jump start the car. That in and of itself is a safety issue. No warning lights are associated with this.

Alarm is constantly going off which means I don't know if it's a real intruder or just the door ajar switch, recall affected up until 2015 but the issue keeps going into 2016 ford fiestas, this is a safety issue as we cannot tell if someone is breaking into the car

MY TRUNK POPS OPEN ON ITS OWN. AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY AT RANDOM. GIVING ACCESS INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING AND WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I HAVE WOKEN UP AT 4 AM AND MY TRUNK BE OPEN. I'VE BEEN DRIVING AT 60MPH AND THE TRUNK OPEN. BEEN IN A DRIVE THROUGH AND THE TRUNK OPEN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. MY SON SEEN THE TRUNK WAS OPEN AND SHUT IT REPEATEDLY JUST FOR IT TO OPEN EVERY FEW MINUTES. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE AND SIMILAR FORD VEHICLES.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2016 FORD FIESTA ST WITH A SUNROOF. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS NOT MUCH FLAT LAND TO PARK VEHICLES. MY DRIVEWAY IS GREATER THAN A 20% GRADE. THIS COMPLAINT IS RELATED TO SUNROOF SEAL LEAKS IN ANY MODE OF OPERATION. THE SUNROOF SEAL IS A SINGLE STRIP OF RUBBER WITH A DISCONNECTED SEAM THAT IS ORIENTED AT THE TOP OF THE SUNROOF. AS THE RUBBER AGES, THE RUBBER SHRINKS AND THE SEAM CAN DEVELOP INTO A GAP THAT LETS WATER INSIDE THE SUNROOF DRAINAGE TRAY. IF THE SUNROOF SEAL LEAKS OR FAILS, THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO COLLECT THE WATER AND DRAIN IT TO A LOCATION NEAR THE FRONT WHEEL WELLS. THIS WORKS PERFECTLY AS LONG AS THE CAR IS LEVEL. IF THE CAR IS PARKED AT A 15% GRADE OR STEEPER WITH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE POINTING UPWARDS, THE SUNROOF SEAL...
