The contact owns a 2017 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle and the vehicle started to lose motive power. The contact was uncertain if any warning lights were illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the engine oil pump belt needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the mechanic linked the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 23v905000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was then towed to a dealer and the cause of the failure was confirmed; but the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact was then provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided the contact with the same information. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

I believe oil pump has malfunctioned. I had a significant loss of power while driving, that could cause sudden accident, had I not been proactive. After the loss of power, I heard a knocking from the engine, then the oil light came on and alerted me. I believe it can be inspected, but have not been able to have it towed to the dealership.

I was driving down a very busy highway about 60 mph when my oil light started flashing on my dash and my check engine light came on and when I tried to push my brake pedal to stop my car I couldn't push it in. My brakes were very hard, I had to pull my emergency brake to stop my car and coast into a gas station so I didn't hit anyone. I have done a lot of research online and this same issue is already under recall on 2 other Ford models as well as a class action lawsuit against Ford because of this issue. My model however is not listed under the recall because it has a manual transmission and they said that those models are not affected but that's clearly not true.

I was driving down hwy 378 headed to columbia and as I was approaching a stop light and getting ready to press my break my oil light on my dash started flashing, and when I attempted to push my brake pedal I couldnt. My brake pedal was hard as a rock and wouldn't press in at all. The highway I was traveling on is a very busy 4 lane highway, I was traveling about 60mph and had to pull my emergency brake and practically stand on my brake pedal to get my car to slow down and coast into a gas station parking lot. I barely missed hitting the car in front of me by a few inches.

My name is christina stavrev (phone 571-278-8408, email: christina. Stavrev@gmail. Com) I bought a Ford Fiesta 2017 VIN # 3fadp4aj3hm155796 in Feb 2021. The car with 25k. Currently, at 59k cylinder 1 and cylinder 3 misfire because coolant gets in both cylinders, diagnosed by a local car mechanic! when driven, the car is a fire hazard!!! I’ve submitted a claim to Ford motor company cas-46017542, and they replied they don’t have a program that can help me! next, I took the car to Ford's authorized service, ted britt chantilly, va. The car stayed there 11/7-11/21. According to them, the problem was only a cracked spark plug near cylinder 3. After I paid the diagnostic fee plus the repair cost. The car started exhibiting the misfire problems within the first 10 miles driven. The car was returned to the Ford service department the next morning 11/22. The obd reader at ted britt chantilly, va showed a misfire, this time in cylinder 1 and cylinder 4. My car is at ted britt chantilly, va for a second time since 11/22/. Still, they can’t figure out why the car engine misfires!!!.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine overheated due to a loss of coolant. The vehicle went into limp mode. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to be driven to the residence. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine oil pump was faulty, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

I was involved in a minor motor vehicle accident. 9/21/2022 during the accident my 2017 Ford Fiesta suffered considerable damage(which I was ticketed for, they said wreckless driving. . I wasn't speeding and I have police reports to back this up). The car did its job and no one was substantially hurt. When I got a chance to look at the car further I noticed the passenger side motor mount(plate not the entire mount) exploded during the crash and allowed the engine to be pushed back. On that side. After retrieving the pieces that remained, there was a clear issue with the part previously mentioned. There is obvious gas porosity in the cast aluminum part. The car has since been brought back to running and driving condition. My over all concern is people potentially being charged criminally over what could be a manufacturing flaw. If the mount plate had held the damage my car received would have been considerably less. I'd like to also note I stopped at my local Ford service center to inquire about this aswell. And he recommended I get in contact with Ford(manufacturing) I tried by phone and that's almost impossible. I've attached photos for reference.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Fiesta. The contact had initially taken her vehicle to an independent mechanic for a tune up. The check engine light appeared on instrument panel soon after service and the vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic six more times. Despite multiple visits, the engine light remained illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where they diagnosed the vehicle with a defective pedal sensor. The contact also replaced the battery which removed away the check engine warning light. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic for an oil change; after the oil change, the oil warning light appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer where they informed her that the engine had overheated and led to engine failure. The contact was given an estimate for a new engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred her to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

I was in an accident in 2019 a few months after purchasing car since then my engine light was on. Had it serviced and the engine light was still on. Was told it could be a transmission problem. Every now and then it would shuttle once started. Today it didn't want to excellerate while driving.

The car want start and the oil light and engine light is on. I had a oil change done on the car today after getting it home it will not start up the battery is good but the car is just not start. Its turning over but staying on.

My car been acting like it don't wanna start back in March its been saying engine malfunction service now and I been in contact with Ford about it for the longest. I wanted them to fix it because I got the car from them and I knew I was still in my warranty. Then my car was only a year and a half old. They been telling me the part been on back order and some people said they don't a order for my car but 3 weeks ago from today I was driving my car and it started slowing down on was on martin luther king drive . I got an oil change a week before my warranty expired no one said anything to me about my car needed more work and they didn't say anything about the part I ordered. It's like as soon as my warranty expired my car started skipping and not wanting to start. I got my car towed and Ford worked on it saying that the throttle body to my car went out and it needed to be replaced. I have pictures and videos from when my car started acting up to when it stop driving.

I recently purchased the 2017 Ford Fiesta, (just hit the 30 day mark), and about a week in I noticed the car do this jolt thing while accelerating. I thought I may have been just laying my foot too hard on the gas by accident but now, on a few different occasions, while slowing the car down it has violently jumped forward. It started as seeming to have a hard time switching gears on acceleration but these few times I was slowing with my put on the brake and it thrusted forward, violently.

Turning a curvature on a mountain road steering locked and brakes failed car went over the mountain as a result passangers three were injured and one fatality.
