I got vehicle at a well known car dealership - used. It was given �120 point inspection� so the car was in �good to go� condition. I walked out with luckily some max protection insurance from them, where they would cover any non- ware & tear repairs. Great decision at first, maybe not even a year in at roughly 80k miles the car ac does not get cool, when at a stop or slow speed the car would start to overheat & in stall - this is a manual vehicle so you would have to drop gear in order to gain speed back and cool the engine. The cooling fan wasn't turning over st any point, I replaced the fuse maybe 3-4 times and it kept blowing out. Finally I took it in to get checked out, apparently the fan relay fuse was blown out causing the smaller fuse to blow, all this resulting in damage to the ac compressor having to be replaced, 2,700 in repairs with a deductible of 200 bucks. Can't beat that right? wrong, here I am roughly 9-10 months later with the same issues happening again, car overheating when the ac is on, or at a hault with the fan not kicking over. Ford: you are a multi billion dollar company, you need to make a car / system that can withtand arizona's 110+ degree weather during the summer. This seems to clearly be a electrical issue, as this isn't the first, second or even third issue I've had with the vehicle. Including maker recalls.
I am the original owner of my 2014 Ford Fiesta s hatchback. The vehicle has a 5-speed manual transmission and 33350 miles +/- on it. I have two issues with the car: 1) the second and reverse gears (only) have "popped" out numerous times under torque. This occurs only when decelerating, accelerating, and occasionally while reversing slowly out of the garage etc. The latest event was December 29, 2016 travelling down a short road. The second gear popped out and the vehicle immediately began to accelerate toward the embankment. Each event surprises and frightens me until I realize what has occurred and respond accordingly. 2) the second issue is something is producing a clunking in the lr pillar (between the lr passenger door and the hatchback). Or so I imagine. It sounds like a hatch strut is hanging loose from the top connection and swinging around inside the hollow of the pillar. However, both hatch struts are fully accounted for and appear to be attached as designed. The noise is ongoing and coincides with vehicle motion, especially on curves and rough ground.
The vehicle hesitates, grinds and jumps whenever you press on the gas to accelerate. Sometimes the car will jump and just slow down even if my foot is all the way to the ground with the pedal. The transmission is the issue since I have taken it to Ford numerous times and every time the tell me the "grinding, jumping, hesitation is normal for an automatic/manual transmission". Apparently this is new for Ford as they have what they call an automatic/manual transmission. Meaning the car drives like it would be a stick shift but automatically does it. It is unsafe! sometimes the jerking is so bad my head will jerk!! I feel like I was ripped off with this car and am so mad that I made this purchase!.
