2011 Ford Fiesta Complaint Log

GOT THE CAR STATE INSPECTED ON APRIL 3 2017.THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT ALL 4 TIRES WERE SEPARATING AND CRACKING. ADVISED TO REPLACE TIRES.

CAR MAKES A LOUD "GRINDING" SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA. ALSO, THE CAR STARTED TO "JERK" AND/OR "LUNGE" AROUND AS YOU EITHER COME TO A STOP OR ACCELERATE FROM A STOP.

LOCK ON TRUNK WAS DEFECTIVE OR BROKE AND I HAD DIFFICULTY SOMETIMES LOCKING THE DOORS FROM INSIDE THE CAR WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT. I REPLACED TRUNK LOCK AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE THE SAFETY RECALL 15S16/NHTSA RECALL 15V-246 ONLY REPLACED THE DOOR LATCHES. CAR MILEAGE 33636.

TRANSMISSION EMITS GRINDING NOISE AT SPEEDS AROUND 30MPH-40MPH. LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LEAKING INTO THE BELL HOUSING.

I PURCHASED A NEW, UNUSED 2011 FORD FIESTA IN FEBRUARY OF 2011. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC WITH FEWER THAN 70,000 MILES AND, SINCE OWNERSHIP, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RECURRING STUTTERING ISSUES DURING ACCELERATION (ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, MOVING STRAIGHT AND WHILE TURNING) THAT ARE CLEARLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE VEHICLE WITH TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANICS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHICH HAS RESULTED IN CLUTCH AND CLUTCH SEAL REPLACEMENTS. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER HAS BEEN "REPROGRAMMED" WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT ALTERS THE TRANSMISSION TO PREVENT THE ISSUE FROM OCCURRING. STILL, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS ONGOING ISSUE HAS ME COMPLETELY FED UP WITH FORD AND THE PRODUCT I HAVE PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE IS FAULTY BEYOND BELIEF AND IS ONE THAT HAS CAUSED MY FAMILY GREAT CONCERN IN ENSURING WE HAVE SAFE AND RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE REAR DOORS OPENED AND COULD NOT BE CLOSED. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

THE CAR WILL SHAKE WHEN GAS IS PRESSED AND DOES NOT HAVE MUCH POWER DRIVING FEELS LIKE IT WILL DIE WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ON. *TR

FORD TRANSMISSION, I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 FORD FIESTA AFTER WHICH FINDING OUT ABOUT THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION REPAIRS FOR THE TRANSMISSION SEALS,AND CLUTCH AS WELL AS THE DOOR LATCHES AND OTHER ISSUES. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS FOR THE REPAIRS, THE ONE DEALING WITH THE REPAIR OF THE CLUTCH AND SEALS I HAVE HAD TO BRING IT INTO TWICE FOR THE ISSUES REGARDING IT. BEFORE THE DEALER REPAIRED THE CLUTCH AND SEALS MY CAR HAD A SHUDDER WHERE IT WOULD JERK WHEN DOWN SHIFTING COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR EXAMPLE OR UP SHIFTING WHEN MAKING TURNS ACROSS A LANE. AFTER I GOT IT BACK IT SEEMED OKAY BUT NOW LESS THEN 3 MONTHS LATER IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND IN ADDITION THERE IS A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TODAY AFTER SEVERAL LONG CONVERSATIONS WITH FORD CORPORATE AND WAS CALLED AND TOLD IT IS BEING CAUSED BY THE "MAIN SHAFT BEARING" WHICH THEY WILL NOT COVER AND IS ASKING FOR $1500.00 TO REPAIR. THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY FORD PRODUCING FAULTY PARTS USED IN THE 2011 FORD FIESTAS, AS REPORTS FROM MANY ONLINE SOURCES HAVE STATED, THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY FORD IS NOT BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AS THE ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION CAUSE A JERKING PAUSE AND HAS EVEN SHUT DOWN ON MY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I LIVE IN OHIO WHERE SNOW AND ICE OCCUR WITH THIS ISSUE THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY AND I IS AS STAKE AS ON COMING TRAFFIC CAN NOT STOP IN TIME WHEN THIS SHUDDERING OCCURS AND WHEN I AM ABLE TO MOVE THE JERKING CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. WE HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO FORD REPAIR SHOPS A NUMBER OF TIMES FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS, REPAIRS, RECALLS, ETC. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START (AMONG OTHER CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH SHAKING WHILE BRAKING, JERKING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS--BOTH OF WHICH WE'VE ALREADY HAD WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES) SO WE HAD IT TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER NEAR WHERE WE LIVE. WE FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. IT TURNS OUT THAT FORD HAS A CSP FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT AND BY THE TIME WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS, WE WERE PAST THE MILEAGE FOR THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. I AM EXTREMELY DISPLEASED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WE HAVE RECEIVED. I BELIEVE IT IS BIAS AND DISCRIMINATORY TO REPAIR PROBLEMS YOU KNOW ABOUT ONLY IF THEY ARE ON VEHICLES WITH MILEAGE UNDER 150,000. IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD FIX IT AND FIX IT FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST PEOPLE WHO DO NOT DRIVE THEIR VEHICLE FREQUENTLY. THIS CAR HAS HAD KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND NUMEROUS RECALLS ALREADY. THE PROBLEM IS, EVERY TIME WE HAVE IT WORKED ON, IT NEVER FIXES IT COMPLETELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN 3RD AND 5TH GEARS THERE WAS A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE NOISE WILL INCREASE OR DECREASE WITH THE THROTTLE AND GOES AWAY WHEN IN NEUTRAL. WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR POPPED OUT OF 5TH GEAR WITHOUT WARNING AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT BACK INTO 5TH GEAR. ALL OTHER GEARS INCLUDING REVERSE WORK FINE HOWEVER WHEN THE SHIFTER IS PLACED INTO THE 5TH GEAR POSITION THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT.SURE AS TO THE OUTCOME. *TR

THE CAR STAYS ON AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE CAR EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN.

TRANSMISSION IS JERKING, SPECIALLY COMING TO THE STOP, GEARS ARE SLIPPING, CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, BUT IT NEVER BEEN CORRECTED. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS COME ON CONSTANTLY, NOW THE ENGINE IS OVERHEATING AND THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIX. THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW FROM AUTONATION AND HAD IT SERVICED/MAINTAINED BY THEIR CERTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE BEGINNING AND WAS COMPLAINING SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT NEVER WAS ADDRESSED AND/OR FIXED

IVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AROUND 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FOURTH BEING THE WORST. THE CAR WILL SHUDDER, SHAKE, OVER REV, LOW POWER WHEN TAKING OFF AND LACK OF POWERSTEERING AND BRAKES. ITS HAD ITS TCM REPROGRAMMED TO NO AVAIL! CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. THIRD TIME IT STARED AGAIN AND HAD TO GET THE CAR REPROGRAMMED AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 30 MPH WITHOUT SHAKING SHUDDERING AND TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT GEAR. COUPLE OF TIMES THE CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING!! DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TCM .ON ABOUT THE FOURTH TIME IN. MY WIFE DRIVES OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL IN THIS CAR AND I HAVE NOT CONFIDENCE IN ITS ABILITY TO SUSTAIN AND DELIVER MY FAMILY SAFELY TO THEIR DESTINATATION. IM CURRENTLY MAKING PAYMENTS AND HAVE ALSO TRIED TO TALK TO FORD ABOUT A BUY BACK OR REPLACEMENT AND THEY SAID I DON'T MEET OR QUALIFY FOR THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW. THEY HAD PULLED MY RECORDS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO VERIFY THE CAR STATUS. ALL ACTIONS THAT THE CAR DISPLAYED AND OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED HAVE HAPPENED WHEN PULLING AWAY TO ACCELERATE. A COUPLE OF MY COMPLAINTS ON THE SERVICE RECORD WAS NOT RECORDED. I THINK THE FIRST AND THE LAST ONES WERE HOWEVER.

THE CAR HAS HEATED SEATS. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT GETS SO HOT THAT IT BURNS AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF TURNING IT ON. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKS FINE.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ABOUT A 2011 FORD FIESTA SE I PURCHASED AT A PRIVATE DEALER ON JULY 1, 2016. THE CAR STARTED RUNNING VERY STRANGE AFTER A WEEK I EXPERIENCE VERY RUFF RIDES. SO I CALLED FORD COMPANY IN MCDONOUGH GA. THE PERSON I TALKED TO SAID THAT IT WAS ON RECALL AND FOR ME TO BRING IT IN, I DID. THEY KEPT IT OVER NIGHT TO UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER PROBLEMS CAUSING ME TO PAY FOR A RENTAL WHICH I FELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID BY THE DEALER OR FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I DID ASK THE DEALER IF THEY KNEW THE CAR WAS ON RECALL AND THEY SAID NO! I ASK QUESTION AFTER QUESTION, THE OWNER EVEN DROVE THE CAR HIMSELF AND SAID THAT<S THE WAY THE CAR RUNS. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS, SPEED,SPEEDING UP ON IT<S OWN, TRANSMISSION, HESITATION, USING MORE GAS, AND SOUNDS RUFF WHEN TRANS GET VERY HOT. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK ON 9-19, 2016 I GUESS FOR MORE TESTING. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS. I AM VERY STRESSED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I HAVE A LOAN FOR $7000+ FINANCED. IS THERE ANY HELP OUT THERE TO GET THIS RECTIFIED THIS PROBLEM. I NEED MY CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION. WHICH ME LUCK.

2011 FORD FIESTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEALERSHIPS FAILURE TO REPAIR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. UPDATED 04/07/16*JS

VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONE OF MANY THOUSANDS TO EXPERIENCE SEVERE TRANSMISSION ISSUES, WHICH HAVE NOW BECOME SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO FORD'S INABILITY TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THIS 2011 FIESTA WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAD THE SLUGGISH FEELING EARLY ON. DEALER SAID IT WAS A "SMART ENGINE" AND WOULD HAVE TO LEARN DRIVER'S DRIVING HABITS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND GOT CONSIDERABLY WORSE AROUND 9K MILES....TOOK IT IN, FAILED TRANSMISSIONS TEST...NEW CLUTCH PUT IT. THOUGHT IT WAS FINE UNTIL IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING...FAILED TEST...NO PARTS AVAILABLE- HAD TO WAIT ON PARTS. THIS IS ABOUT THE 5TH OR 6TH TIME GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, EXCEPT THAT NOW THE PROBLEM IS THE MOST SEVERE IT'S EVER BEEN (EVEN WITH THE A NEW CLUTCH PUT IN LAST WEEK AND BEING TOLD IT WAS "FIXED'). CAR WON'T START AT TIMES, THEN WHEN IT DOES, IT DRIVES VERY SLUGGISH - OR WON'T COME OUT OF LOW GEAR (REVS VERY HIGH)....OF IF YOU GET IT INTO HIGHER GEAR, IT WILL SUDDENLY SLIP OUT OF IT BACK DOWN TO LOW - VERY HIGH RPMS AND VERY LOUD. IT IS HARD TO ACCELARATE AND KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO GO - THIS IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLING AT AN INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT TURN, ON THE HIGHWAY WITH HIGHER SPEED TRAFFIC ETC. MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM VERY SEVERELY. CLASS ACTION SUIT IN CA NOW-- AND ONE JUST STARTED IN AUSTRALIA. SAME PROBLEMS. FORD HAS CONTINUED TO SELL THESE CARS FOR YEARS, KNOWING THAT THIS PROBLEM IS THERE- THEIR ONLY SOLUTION BEING TO WAIT FOR PARTS AND THEN GET IT "REPAIRED" - EXCEPT IT IS BEING REPAIRED WITH PARTS THAT ARE NO BETTER AND SEEM TO BE FAR WORSE THAN EARLY ON. IT IS SCARY TO DRIVE AND FEEL SAFE - YET ONE HAS TO GET TO WORK, ETC. FORD IS DIGGING THEIR HEELS IN AND STILL OFFERING NO REMEDY, KNOWING ABOUT THESE VERY UNSAFE SITUATIONS THAT DRIVERS ARE BEING PUT IN. PLEASE SCAN THE INTERNET REGARDING THE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DOING 50 MPH AND IT SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR. THIS WAS QUITE DISTURBING. I TOOK IT IN TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED THE PROGRAM UPDATED. THEN DURING THE WINTER IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR AT ALL, NOT FORWARD, REVERSE OR ANYTHING. ONCE AGAIN I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PROGRAMMING. THEY PROGRAMED IT AGAIN. SO BACK IN FEB IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I DID THEN RECEIVE A LETTER STATING THERE WAS SOME ISSUES, SO I WAS GIVEN A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY ON FIXING THE ISSUE. WELL I TOLD THEM TO REPLACE THE TCM, BUT ONCE AGAIN THEY LOVE TO REPROGRAM. SO MY OLDEST SON IS IN NEED OF A VEHICLE AND HE WAS DRIVING IT UP IN MADISON WISCONSIN ON THE MOST CRAZY FREEWAY AND IT DECIDED TO LOSE THE POWER DOING MORE THAN 50 MPH. MY SON WAS SO STRESSED AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THE REPROGRAMMING. I HAVE EMAILS AND CALLS PUT INTO FORD AND I AM NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING BUT A FIX OR TO TRADE IN AND START OVER. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING FOR US AT ALL. I GUESS THEY WANT SOMEONE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY FIX ANYTHING.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD DIAGNOSTICS DONE.EMISSIONS CODE UO29F CAME BACK.

QUOTED PARTS AT $206.79,NOT COUNTING LABOR WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING,JUST STARTED IN A PARKING LOT.

DRIVING VEHICLE ON EXPRESSWAY AND VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF. BEEN COMPLAINING TO FORD SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS SEVERAL TIME. WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED BUT IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING. IT WILL ROLL BACK WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THIS TIME I WAS LUCKY NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE.

MY CAR SAYS ITS NOT IN PARK WHEN ITS IS IN PARK. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 15 MONTHS HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES...I WALKED OUT TO MY CAR TO GET IN TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE CAR STATES ITS NOT IN PARK WHEN ITS IN PARK...

DOOR HANDLE STUCK IN PULL OUT POSITION WHICH I DIDN'T NOTICE. WHEN MAKING LEFT TURN CAR DOOR FLUNG OPEN. NO WARNING SENSOR ON DASHBOARD INDICATING DOOR MALFUNCTION. PASSENGER WAS RIDING WITH SEAT BELT ON, VERY SCARY POTENTIALLY FATAL. I WAS PULLING OUT OF HOME DEVELOPMENT ONTO MAIN ROAD.

CAR IS PARKED, DUE TO SHUDDERING, STALLING AND LACK OF POWER. NO FAITH IN THE VEHICLE, WON'T SELL BECAUSE I DON'T WANT IT TO BECOME SOMEBODY ELSE PROBLEM.

HESITATION, JERKING AND CLUTCH GRINDING NOISES. WENT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND MY CAR HESITATED ON ACCELERATION CAUSING A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT FROM AN ON COMING CAR. LUCKILY THE ONCOMING CAR WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING MY PASSENGER SIDE WHERE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING HESITATION, SEVERE JERKING AND GRINDING OF THE CLUTCH THE ENTIRE WEEKEND.

TCM HAS BEEN FIXED THREE TIME IN THE LAST YEAR UNDER WARRANTY. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES WILL BE HERE BEFORE I KNOW IT. THE TRANSMISSION STILL SHUTTERS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. ALSO MY SPEAKERS STARTED CRACKLING EVEN WITH THE RADIO TURNED OFF. WHILE DRIVING OR HAVING THE CAR TURNED ON MY RADIO RANDOMLY POPS AND THERE IS NO SOUND FROM THE RADIO, CD PLAYER, SYNC ETC. IT'S SCARY THINKING MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND THE SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE FAILING. I MAINTAIN MY CAR REGULARLY AND TO HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES NON STOP AND NOW THE RADIO.(WHICH I HAD A 2000 FORD FOCUS FOR 12 YEARS AND IT NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES)
