general problems of the 2016 Ford Fiesta

I was in michigan and my car, which had been in great shape, unexpectedly failed to start after sitting for two days. After jump-starting the battery, the maintenance light turned on and my display showed a transmission malfunction. So while I traveled in my car to columbus, unaware of the potential danger that my car could catch fire and explode because it couldn't shift beyond third gear, I stopped at autozone for an inspection where the man informed me about a specific error code called p0606. The car dealership, holmes motors, was well aware of the issues with my car because we had informed them about another defective Ford Fiesta they had in stock. However, they made a deliberate decision not to reveal any of this important information to me or my family. I’ve been had problems when my car failed to start after refueling last year. One of the two main issues I've encountered with them. Firstly, they advised me that they had repaired my vehicle; that was not the case. Secondly, they never upheld the warranty and argued that my recurring issue was not eligible for coverage, after they just worked on it. The other Ford Fiesta that we saw coincidentally ended up being my ex-roommate's car, and it still had the same problems. At aacmo in columbus, they confirmed that my dual clutch assembly transmission had malfunctioned and overwhelmed my tcm. This exact same incident was also mentioned in the lawsuit filed against Ford, and from numerous people who faced the same issue. I’m stuck in ohio with insufficient funds for repairs or a replacement, which means I have no way home and zero source of income to sustain myself. It sucks that the entire burden of repairs falls on us while these companies neglect to accept any accountability for their faults. Has not been brought to the manufacture yet. If there is any other actions to help assist in my situation, please feel welcome to contact me. Thank you.

When I refuel it takes several tries to get vehicle restarted and need to pump accelerator to keep it from dying. The smell of gas is bad. Come to a red light stalls and hard to restart. Air bag light on dash and never goes out. Rpm surge and car will lunge, very scary. Just started a loud clicking/thumping noise, found out could be actuator. Ac will stop blowing cool and begin again. Repair shop can't figure out why. For a new car has many issues for being out for such a short time.

When fuel is added to the vehicle, it will not start for 5-20 minutes after fuel is added and requires 3-5 attempts to start. Additionally, there have been times where once it starts and begins operating, it will lose power and shut off. This power loss has occurred multiple times after leaving the gas station parking loss, leading to being stalled while in motion on a roadway. This is a incredibly scary experience.

Recently at 48,000 miles my check engine light came on for a code p1450 and p0456 which is for the evap system. My vehicle now stalls when gas is filled up and even loses performance at high speeds.

After filling up, the car idles roughly. Rpms drop unexpectedly, and sometimes kill the engine. This has resulted in the car sporadically dying at intersections while idling and while shifting into first gear. The car has been doing it consistently after filling up with gas. Does not matter the gas station or fuel type (87, 91, 93 octane). No codes are thrown and dealership has been unable to duplicate problem.

The car will not start properly after refueling. You have to press on the gas several times and then the brake to start it. When it does start, you need to rev the engine a couple times to make sure it won't die again. The transmission is now slipping and drops to neutral while driving at any given time. It happened to me twice this morning while driving on the interstate. When it finally gets back into gear, it lurches forward. This morning I was nearly in an accident because of this new development in a 2 year old car. I will never buy a Ford again, this is too dangerous for anyone valuing their lives.

While idling at stop lights or city driving the car will drop rpm's or stall out on it's own. Has happened while making a u-turn, turning, and idling. It happens randomly and Ford will not take the issue seriously.

When fueling car want start without delay. Codes p2196,p1450.

Takata recall. Every time I put fuel in my car it hesitates. Sometimes it cuts off and sometimes it just shakes and almost cuts off. It hesitates when I don't put fuel in it but it does it worse everytime I put fuel in it. The transmission doesn't change gears sometimes. I have to let it coast to get it to change gears or I have to stop then go. If I yield then go with out completely stopping the transmission won't change gears unless I let it coast until it changes or stop and let it change before I proceed.
