Have had constant issues with the radio unit, now on my 2nd unit. Radio starts making a popping, crackling, thumping loud sound from the speakers, until stops working with no sound. Then these thumping sounds are generated even with the radio off (not playing anything)! which I presume a short or wiring issue. I'm shocked we haven't gotten in an accident from jumping/jerking the steering wheel when it happens. Many complaints online to Ford about Fiestas and focus vehicles but they have not done anything, and the dealer just wants to charge for labor just for inspecting. Please look into this issue. Thanks.

Car overheated, blew hose, and cracked cylinder with new fan and fluid. Car does not shift correctly and will speed forward.
The car would make a crackaling sound through the speakers for months starting in March of 2018 and on July 5, 2018 the radio , & blue tooth options have now ceased to work.
While driving on the highway a sudden screeching, popping and cracking sounds startled me to the point I almost hit another car, after parking the car on a side street and turning it completely off the sounds continued on. The car has bluetooth and sync which will not work to turn off the sounds. Both systems are down. I had someone look at the car but was told nothing looked wrong they did however check all the fuses and speakers with confused me. I checked for recall on the car but found none related to this problem, I did find lots of online blogs and websites talking about the issue. I hope you can investigate this issue, it really is dangerous driving with this condition.

While driving on the expressway my car began smoking and began to overheat which caused a cracked cylinder head that sprayed oil all over the inside of my hood sparking a small fire under the hood. The computer began to shut the car down and displayed a warning message that stated sudden loss of oil pressure, please prepare to pull over safely. Just as I read that message the brakes started to lock and the steering became harder to turn as I tried to get off the next exit from the expressway. I reinjured my broken ankle in trying to keep stop and control the car. Once pulled over the car continued to smoke and no longer started. I filed a claim with my insurance and it was denied as they found the cause was due to recall mechanical or electrical breakdown still under powertrain warranty. I went online and found on the Ford motor company mediacenter website this recall notice date 3/29/17. My VIN # was not on this list but to the letter is what I experienced: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2013-15 Ford escape, Ford Fiesta st, Ford fusion and Ford transit connect 1. 6-liter gtdi vehicles for under-hood fire risk Ford is issuing a safety recall in north America for approximately 230,000 2014 Ford escape, 2014-15 Ford Fiesta st, 2013-14 Ford fusion and 2013-15 Ford transit connect vehicles equipped with 1. 6-liter gtdi engines. Ford's investigation of these vehicles has identified a risk of under-hood fires. In the affected vehicles, a lack of coolant circulation could cause an engine to overheat, resulting in a crack in the cylinder head. A cracked cylinder head can result in a pressurized oil leak. Oil that comes into contact with a hot engine surface increases the risk of a fire in the engine compartment. Ford is aware of 29 reports of fire associated with this issue in the united states and canada. No injuries have been reported.
While driving, speakers start to crackle loudly. Its actually startling. Then the radio doesn't work until the vehicle is turned off and then on again.
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.

Radio speakers started cutting out and making popping/crackling noises for weeks, even if the car was turned off or if the volume was turned down, then the radio died completely. I have seen many other complaints from other people with the same problem. Dealership said I would have to replace the entire radio for $400, but apparently this is a common occurrence in these cars.

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).
Key was not in the ignition, opened car door after work in parking lot and heard loud static coming from radio/audio system (this has happened several times before but the most recent incident was the worst). Please note the incident has happened while the car was moving up the 55 miles per hour and also while the car has been parked - key not in ignition. I hear 'cracking and popping' regularly and sometimes the volume is terrifying and startling. It could actually cause an auto crash - think about driving down the road and the audio system starts blaring static at 10+ unexpectedly. . . My radio/cd player does not work properly and if it does work for a few minutes, I will hear loud cracking and loud popping and then the radio/cd cuts off. The car feels 'electrified' (the hair on my arms has raised). I believe it is a safety issue and after searching online, I have noticed hundreds of other individuals are writing about experiencing the same problem. Recall help much appreciated because something isn't right with the Ford cars experiencing these electrical problems. Please note while these electrical/audio static problems are going on, the sync system hasn't been fully operational either. My state does not allow driving with cellphones so an unavailable sync system is not only a pain but prevents compliance with the law.
Snow is entering through the cowl top are and melting, the water enters the blower motor and then freezes the blower motor. This makes it so my car has no heat or functional defroster. When I brought the car back to the dealership I purchased it from they stated it was a "design flaw" and "common problem. " the suggestion they gave me was to keep snow and ice away from the cowl top which is unrealistic for where I live. I have driven to and from work three times this winter without heat in my car, and since there is no defroster my windows also have to be cracked open to make sure that windows do not fog.
The hinge on back driver side cracked first ,,,got fixed ,,now back passenger side cracked and they wont fix . . Warranty expired. Also my front passenger door don't latch closed must tie shut.
