My car is having electrical issues, the transmission will over rev but my speed remains the same or decreases. the car will lose power over time and the pedal will become spongy. this has become a very large inconvenience and an extreme safety hazard to myself and my passenger. i was almost in a collision with another vehicle which would be deemed my fault even though it would me the vehicle malfunctioning. when contacting ford dearborn and perry ford they tell me there's nothing they can do or i can pay a fee.
Transmission slips out of gear during normal city driving. i have had the car completely lock up, become unable to drive, and needed to be towed to the dealership. this is the 3rd time i have encountered this issue. i've had the transmission computer restarted, one of the clutches replaced, then a few months after that had the car towed to the dealership again due to "immobilizer malfunction" design for the car is great but the mechanics are terrible.
Takata recall my vehicle has been stalling out soon after fueling and requiring 3-5 minutes before being able to star the vehicle. often times after fueling the vehicle does not start back up right away. in the last 4 months, i've been seeing this issue progress even after speaking with and getting a diagnosis from the ford dealership where the vehicle was purchased. in the last 3 weeks. my 2015 ford fiesta has stalled out on me while driving 4 times! i can literally be driving on the freeway when the battery and engine lights turn on and my vehicle automatically shuts off. this was a previous recall an i have not been able to get any solid responses as to whether or not my vehicle still qualifies for this recall. this issue is a serious safety concern and the fact that ford is not giving solid answers as to whether or not they will fix it is beyond me. i still have 2 years left on my warranty and they are still giving me a hard time.
Clacking sound in dash due to a faulty a/c actuator. (car was in neutral and stopped) this happens everytime the car is started, it last a few seconds and quits. the dealer replaced under warranty and it's bad again after 20k more miles. (part #av1z 19e616 k) from what i can tell reading the forums all fiesta's are having the same problem. thank you
2015 ford fiesta. consumer writes in issues with voice command and keeping phone connected to vehicle. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle would lock up and the windows take 45 minutes to defrost. *js
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fiesta. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced numerous failures with the transmission, electrical system, engine, and brake pads. also, the vehicle failed to accelerate over 50 mph, the rpms increased independently, and the vehicle jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the electrical system failure caused the interior lighting, door lights, horn, and the alarm system to fail. the contact was also unable to lock or unlock the doors with the key. furthermore, the low beam headlights failed and the contact had to drive with the high beams at night. lastly, the motor fan activated independently. the contact spoke with an unknown dealer who stated that the vehicle had too many failures and could not be diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures. the failure mileage was 50.
This all came about at 11:30 pm when leaving the work place the car would not provide heating to the defrosters or other areas after the engine was at operating temp. the outside temp was at minus six and wind chill below that number.the car was driven home a distance of five plus miles with the windshield frosted making it difficult to see through. upon arrival at home there was two small cleared spots the size of half dollars at the bottom of the windshield. after having the car towed to the dealer this morning they determined the problem was an iced cabin air filter and [frozen] as in iced fan blower they had to dry out. per ssm 44942 in which engineers at ford [ i presume ] were investigating or as stated on the paper work i received from the dealer, concerned engineers. this falls under safety do to vision being impaired because of this problem which appears to be known by the manufacture. this car was only driven at this late time of night as traffic was almost nil and the extreme weather dictated. *tr
My airbag warning indicator has illuminated and has stayed on for two days now. there are also strange noises coming from the area behind my steering wheel.
