The issue in question involves the door latch mechanism. there was previously a recall issued for ford fiesta vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2014. my vehicle is a 2014 model and the vehicle was stationary at the time of the incident. this recall was put into effect either in 2014 or 2015 when the issue became prominent and pronounced. this is the first incident and/or issue that i have experienced with this vehicle. the driver side rear door just decided not to latch two days ago when i arrived at work after retrieving items from the back seat. i took the vehicle to my local dealership this morning to see if it could be rectified as well as find out if any active recalls were presently unrepaired. it was determined that there are no active recalls for the door latch system, however it is feasible and recommended that another recall be issued in light of my recent door latch issue.
Vehicle caught on fire underneath engine area, unsure why as of now but do have fire report. bought vehicle saturday and by monday it was on fire.oil was spilling out of bottom.
The passenger rear door's latch stopped working. no damages or accidents were done to my car. i rarely use the rear of my car. however, my vin number doesn't show a recall associated with my specific car even though there is an acknowledged recall for this issue for my specific year, make and model of my car. also, less than a week later, the rear drivers side door's latch broke in the exact same way as the passenger rear door's latch. this is a safety issue and can lead to accidents and personal harm. i want to get all my latch's fixed, reimbursement for the one i had to pay for, and an apology from ford. i checked my vin number and the result showed "0 unrepaired recalls associated with this vin". however, this specific response does not mean there was never a recall associated with this car. it means that the recalls that were associated with the car have been fixed. however, what if the door latch they used to "fix" the recall for it was faulty as well? how would i ...
My radio started acting strangely about 3 months ago. when the radio was on there was irregular squealing coming from it. when it first started, the squealing was only when the radio was on and i was driving the car. later, the squealing also started to include loud popping noises, very much like an old stereo speaker losing its wire connection. the loud popping was very inconsistent . it then started happening every time i was in the car. it didn't matter if the radio was on or not. i even tried turning down the volume, while the radio was off. the popping noise was extremely loud and distracting while trying to drive the vehicle . many time because the pop was so loud i would jerk the steering wheel in one direction or another. passengers that rode in my car during some of the incidences had commented on it hurting their ears and making them jump or jerk in their seat. then, one day the popping was happening almost continuously and then just stopped. now leaving me without a radio and phone connection. i searched the internet to try to figure out the problem and have found that ...
I have ford fiesta 2014. . the radio not working. when i search on internet, youtube i noticed that a lot of people ( ford fiesta owners) had the same problem. ford company may fix it.
Door latch on back drivers side opened during movement of car on a city street. my daughter was able to pull over but was unable to close door. the car was taken to ford and the vin was not covered under the 3 million cars serviced for this very same issue.
Right rear door latch stopped working suddenly. backing out of my driveway i noticed my passenger rear door swing open. i stopped to close it but it bounced off the frame with each attempt. would not latch no matter how hard i pushed. had to put car in garage because there is no way to secure the contents.
On july 23 2019, i noticed my car door would not close. this is the second incident in one year. ford is putting my life and my family's life in danger. last year, it was the left rear door, more recently it was the driver's door.
While parked to fuel my car, i opened the rear driver side door. upon closing the door it would close but it would not latch. i had to secure the door closed with the rear seatbelt to make it home without the door opening while i was driving.
Rear passenger door latch suddenly stopped working. my 3 year old sits on that side. god knows what would've happened had we been on the highway
Door latch had failed and was noticed after getting out of car the car in a parking lot. went to close the rear passenger door and was almost hit by it bouncing back due to the latch being inoperable.
Have had constant issues with the radio unit, now on my 2nd unit. radio starts making a popping, crackling, thumping loud sound from the speakers, until stops working with no sound. then these thumping sounds are generated even with the radio off (not playing anything)! which i presume a short or wiring issue. i'm shocked we haven't gotten in an accident from jumping/jerking the steering wheel when it happens. many complaints online to ford about fiestas and focus vehicles but they have not done anything, and the dealer just wants to charge for labor just for inspecting. please look into this issue. thanks
Drivers side door would not close "latch" this also has previously happened on the drivers side rear door. a recall is in effect for some 2014 ford fiesta's but this one is not on the list. was stationary but once the door was open could not be closed due to the door latch not working properly. have taken this to the local ford dealership and they say it is not under recall for this vin
While driving rear driver's door opened and will not latch closed. had to tie door down with tape to keep it closed. took it to ford dealer in casa grande, arizona and was told that it is not part of recall. could not afford to get it fixed.
Driver's side rear passenger door unlaches while car is in motion.
