The resivour cap, siezed up first time I was trying to add coolant. It took along time get it off! litterly had to break cap into pieces. And with oem part cap. From the Ford dealership replaced it? in now it's, overheats and no visible coolant leak. And this has been going on for several months. . The motor makes a clacking sounds. The 1. 0 turbocharge 3-cyl turbo is not working properly. Plus it's engine bay fuse box says engine fan is 60 amps in recently I noticed it has had a 40 gage amp. Thank that the under the hood engine fan. Wasn't perform at the recommended fuse. . It also at start up and sitting still at motor bog's down like it's about to cut off. Know the overheat proublem's. If I'm sitting still in neutral and I turn the ac on full-blast it stays at 4 bars which is normal for as long as I want and it doesn't over heat ? but, soon as I put it in 1st gear and try to drive it will overheat, not even going 10ft and I have to turn off the ac and put it on the heat. Full blast! within a few minutes it slowly goes down. But know that it's July if it's anything over 90 degrees outside I have to turn heat on full blast before making it 1-block or it overheats. In I have kept a close watch on the coolant level, and I have watched youtube videos and etc? trying to figure out what's wrong. In all my parts store location don't have any thing for my year make model nothing. I got this car from a dealership a year ago of the month July. In it gets regular oil changes, but I'm lost trying to figure out what is wrong, and what to do about it and others I know of have had same proublem with there's . . And I have to have heat on full hot on 1-2 level in 70 degree weather, and if I get onto the interstate and go to 55-70 mph I turn heat level to 4 full blast and it will still go up to 1 bar away from it telling me that engine is overheated. & at 2500 rpms it overheats! smh.

While parked with the vehicle running (about 30 minutes in 87 degree weather with the ac on), the transmission felt like it tried to go into drive and rocked forward slightly. I looked at the dash and the check engine light came on. I tested the vehicle and it seemed road worthy enough to try and get home. When driving home and stopped at a stop light, the car's display for park, neutral, reverse, drive, started quickly flashing between drive and park. I could not accelerate the vehicle while this was going on. I placed the vehicle in park, and then met fairly heavy resistance putting it back into drive. After a few seconds of flashing between drive and park, it stopped and I was able to drive again. The same thing happened a few minutes later while I was about to turn into the Ford dealership. This time I tried turning off the vehicle to see if that would remedy the issue. I was unable to start the vehicle for a minute or two after because it was acting as if I was in drive (or the fast park / drive flutter) and trying to start it. It's been two days, yet I haven't heard back from the dealership on what this problem is. I did receive a recall notice that spells out the exact symptoms that I had, yet the mechanic has twice said it is very unlikely that the recall part, the tcm or transmission control module (which is back ordered six weeks), is the actual problem.

This vehicle has had consistent transmission shudder and engine rattle upon acceleration which affects the the initial acceleration of the car. The sporadic delay in initial acceleration has been an ongoing safety concern. Most recently the vehicle almost stalled completely after beginning to accelerate into a merge. There was a few second delay in any movement or power to the car. Luckily there was no one coming at the time or this vehicle malfunction would have caused a serious accident. My car has been in to a Ford service center 5 times for this complaint and it is still not resolved. I am also concerned that Ford knowingly replaced the clutch and seals in my car with malfunctioning parts. Apparently newly engineered parts were produced as a patch for this issue. Either the old parts were used to fix my car, which would be quite an egregious safety issue, or the newly engineered parts are still malfunctioning. Either way I do not feel that my Ford Fiesta is safe to be on the road and Ford has not adequately address this issue to resolve the matter.

Fsa # 14e08; fsa # 14m01; fsa # 14m02 approx. Mileage at time of first complaint was 1500 miles. Current mileage is 119,xxx January 2018 approximate beginning of complaints is January 2013. Complaints are: -excessive hesitation / shudder / "whiplash-like" feeling when slow and normal acceleration is applied during take off, in all driving conditions. -excessive grinding and occasional clunking noise during slow and normal acceleration after a complete stop. -as of July 2017, occasional grinding with "clanking" noise occurs when slowing down to a complete stop; typically after approximately 30 minutes of highway driving and than at the first stop. -may 2014 to current, red fluid (transmission fluid) found on ground after being parked for more than 12 hours. Fluid seems to be coming from a shaft seal; at time of observation, cv shaft was found to have excessive play ((the service company at the time had the vehicle in the air and I observed the cv shaft rotating more than 1 to 1 1/2 inches (approximately) when no play should have been present; I could also hear the bearings grinding or rubbing. )) -vehicle seems to randomly lose power during first ignition startup. I would start the car, a few seconds later it would have a complete loss of power, I would than restart it, and it would operate as normal. Approximate number of this occurring is no more than 5 times since January 2015. -most recent complaint, October 2017, while accelerating for highway on ramp, vehicle lost complete power for approximately 2 seconds (speed at time of power loss was approx. 57mph). I lost control of steering and vehicle "shifted" or "jumped" to the left. The vehicle made a fast recovery on its own and continued as normal. Weather conditions were not harsh; there was slight rain / mist and above 55 degrees fahrenheit.
