Engine Stall Problems of Ford Fiesta

After filling up my tank, I left the gas station and immediately approached a red light. When I came to a stop, my engine rpm dipped and my vehicle stalled out. I have noticed rpm dipping that occurs when I stop at a red light, usually after I add fuel. Other than this stall event reported, I have not experienced another, but the rpm dips do occur often, again, after adding gas or filling my tank. The dipping persists usually for at least 30 minutes after adding fuel. Luckily I was able to restart my car right away with no trouble. Rpm dipping was observed at each stop on my way home. Intensity of the dip varied.

When trying to accelerate engine stalls when trying to move car doesn't respond and dies. Car was in a city street.

Vehicle engine stalls when in traffic. When I decelerate and engage the clutch (manual transmission), sometimes the engine speed will go so low, the engine stalls. It usually happens in very heavy traffic and I have to engage the clutch. This always happens when the vehicle is in motion. This happens pretty much anywhere, street, highway, freeway, drive way. It only happens when the clutch is engaged. If the car is in gear and the clutch is not engaged, it wont stall. I did take it to hemborg Ford in norco, CA and they reflashed the computer, but it still is happening. Yesterday 12 Aug, I was entering a roadway and a vehicle jumped in front of me. I applied both the brakes and clutch and when I tried to accelerate, the engine was stalled creating a very dangerous situation as I was already committed to entering the roadway and vehicles were approaching me from behind at a very high rate of speed.

Vehicle stalls at start up after gas is put in car, engine light is on and stalls when stopped while foot on break and stalls at times while driving on both side roads and highways. Has happened a handful of times. Engine light turns off for a couple days then turns back on and stays for months at a time.

Engine stalls when pushing in clutch. I have had it stall at lights, stop signs and while down shifting. Has happened a couple of times while car is in motion but always when pushing the clutch in otherwise most stalls are occurring when car is stationary with the clutch pushed down while waiting at light or stop sign, etc. Car just stalls out. Generally it can and has happened anytime you push down on the clutch. I have had the car 2 months so far and have had the car stall at least 30 times already and at least 5 of those stalls happened while making a left turn going across oncoming traffic and once when halfway entering a round about. I have not had it stall once car gets passed second gear but I will not put anyone in my car as I've already encountered almost being hit a couple of times because of engine stalling out once the car starting moving. Please check into this as I have googled this issue and it seems to be a common issue with this car with no clear idea as to what is causing it.

After filling the fuel tank, the engine has a tendency to stumble and stall when idling (such as when the clutch pedal is depressed). On one occasion, several minutes after filling the tank, I entered the roadway in stop-and-go traffic. The engine stalled while I was in the roadway moving at low speed.

While in motion, my vehicle had an intermittent electrical issue. The service wrench appears, and displays "engine malfunction, seivce now" the engine then derates and runs very rough. With a manual transmission, it is difficult to shift gerars without stalling. Upon turning off and restarting, the engine resets and runs normally. Occurences are random without any warning. This is a safety issue. In one instance my engine nearly stalled in a busy intersection as a result of this issue. Ford has a TSB for the issue (13-11-15) that involves changing the wiring of the car. I believe this should be elevated to recall status so that repairs are covered. Given that it is a design issue that was built in to the vehicle and requires a change to the wiring to fix, Ford should be responsible for the service. I was billed $442. 85 by my dealer to correct this issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle shook violently without warning and the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the clutch failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.

On 02/27/2015 my Ford Fiesta with 20,904 miles was taken in for a trasmission issue that became potentially life threatening. When my wife approached an intersection to make a left hand turn and came to a stop the engine began to shutter and bog down. The idle picked up but the engine almost stalled. When traffic cleared my wife attempted the apply pressure to the throttle pedal but the vehicle only moved forward at about 2mph. With more traffic headed toward us (35mph zone) about 50yards away. My wife lifted to her foot off the throttle to apply again, the car suddenly lurched forward with my wife's foot off the pedal. The same issue happened while driving on windy mountain roads. The vehicle will become hesitant the lurch or bog down. We had this vehicle in for the same fix on 09/09/2013. The dealership took the vehicle on a road test and diagnosed the trasmission needed a software upgrade. The cars trasmission still had minor problems that the dealership stated as "normal". The diagnosis of my vehicle now is that the clutch needs to be replaced but a road test wasn't even done to the vehicle. A Ford "specialist" diagnosed the problem with a computer stating he could only get the engine to shutter. I don't understand how a proper diagnostic can be done if the car is not driven on the road. The dealership service department cannot tell me when the vehicle will be fixed and told I can pick the car up and drive it until the clutch comes in. Obviously not caring about the customers safety and the fact we told the service department about the potentially deadly situation that occured a rental vehicle was not offered cause they feel the car is safe to drive.
