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.
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
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 car was ready and a different price was quoted it was different, when asked why i was told that it was only the latch that was broken. i tried to speak to the service manager and he never called me back out of the for times that called, and on ...

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.
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 fixed. i mentioned this multiple times but when the technician would look at the car, it was working properly. the car started to get worse and being a children's case manager meant that i had to drive children around frequently for my job. i started to fear that i ...
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......
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.
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 trips to the shop and the loss of value, meaning i will never get out from under this car, but i am legitimately concerned for my safety and my life, and ford doesn't care. i do not want to continue to drive this death trap but as it's worth far ...
