I have this car since 2019 with 8000 miles and this is the 3rd time the code came up for the evap system to be repaired. P0456. The first time it was replaced was at mileage 47084 at winner Ford dealership. On June 11th 2021. The second time it was replaced was at winter Ford dealership on March 17th 2022 with mileage 59,678.

7 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 01/22/2024

For as long as I've had my car - 2017 till now - it's had what I term a "hiccup" after receiving gas. The engine would slightly shudder for the first 5-10 minutes after I filled the car with gas. This was not from overfilling the tank as I never max out the tank. I didn't think much about this until a few months ago. A few minutes after filling my car with gas, the engine shuddered severely and the rpm dropped to zero. This caused the engine to die and left me unable to exit from the turn lane. No warning lights appeared on my dash. I turned on the hazard lights and rolled down the window, but eventually all the lights inside the car died. I was stuck in a left turn lane, unable to move. I had to stick my hand out the window to direct other cars to drive around me. I requested a tow via my car insurance company and the drive arrived within ~15 minutes. The tow truck driver was able to restart my car and we towed it to the local Ford service center. I explained the issue to the service department, but they were unable to replicate the issue and thus did not resolve it. Since then, the same issues has occurred every time I refill the gas tank. Regardless of how much gas is added or how full the tank was after receiving gas. After adding gas, I have begun immediately parking at the gas station to wait out the engine shudders. They do stop after ~10 minutes, but during that time they have caused the engine to die again. In the past weeks, I've also begun to observe a minor engine shudder even when stopped at a red light. I have never observed a warning light. Online research has shown a number of other people experiencing this issue. It seems the likely cause is a faulty fuel vapor purge valve. This valve may be allowing liquid fuel to flow to the engine, causing the engine to shudder and die. I will be taking my car to a different service center in hopes of the issues being resolved and not getting stranded again. . Read more...

8 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 06/24/2023

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.

10 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 01/05/2023

1 year ago I spent over $1,000 fixing everything on this car, no one offered any info. About recalls. At 21,000-23,000 miles only. I noticed some odd shuddering at low speeds. Like shaking, but only going slower. Then it did other things, seemed like maybe it was when parking or backing up. Car would switch to neutral. On its own. Another: the car kept starting. I have a remote starter, I removed rs, still doing it. I'll find car running by itself. With no key in the ignition. I have 2 year old battery from costco, under warranty. Last week, coming home, car lost all power, nearby, able to glide into garage. Spent days checking, terminals, fuses, everything. Battery should be 12. 5 amps, it was 3. 5 amps. So could not be jump-started. Had towed to costco, then midas. $1,100 later got ride to pick up, start car, dashboard now has orange wrench, said: "transmission malfunction! service now!" Sunday, midas closed, no choice but drive home, 10 miles. Dad drove me, stopped to eat, when came out after 2 hours, the car was running! in the parking lot, all by itself! the key wasn't in the ignition! key was in my purse way inside restaurant. It was scary. Then shifting was messed up, on small hill, kick back, forth, not enough power. Don't drive stick shifts/manuals, but each gear was struggling. Also shaking, thought would stall. When home, car wouldn't turn off! removed key, car kept running - no key! online, see recalls, transmission lawsuits, everything. Own two Ford Fiesta se's, never sent anything about. In press, Ford lies, say owners told. Called 5 local Ford dealerships, all playing game of "what recall?" "what transmission issues?" I have to pay $300+ have error codes run, if recall, maybe they'll pay, "probably extended warranty. " what extended warranty? 2015 Ford Fiesta se w/ 50,000 miles. I'll say this: I'm 100% disable I use car for ssa ticket to work program, delivering amazon. I'm losing $150 every day. I can't go to store, get my mail, dr. Appts. , I'm trapped.

Was told it's under recall or an extended powertrain warranty. Also has 2 other official recalls on it would like fixed while it's there.

15 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 02/03/2022

Goes with incidents: 11501018, 11500972 & 11500985 I am 100% disabled, but work occassionally via ssa ticket to work program, for amazon, using Ford Fiesta to deliver packages. 2. 1. 22 I bought 4 new tires from costco. 2. 3. 22 I was delivering in a rural area, about 3:30pm. It had snowed. I had delivered to a farm, drove back to main road, but on the way, stopped to look at and take photo from car of some cute horses wearing coats. No one around, road pretty flat. As I went to move forward, this is really bad, the road went up and it was angled, the car again, took off, as in my other report. Luckily I had my seatbelt on. I believe I had just shifted to drive, foot still on brake, and this car was like I had stomped down on the accelerator. Also luckily, I was not facing those horses! I couldn't believe it, car went flying up this road, brakes not working, I could steer, it was taking me right towards a busy road. My heart was pounding, going up this angled road, should have stopped the momentum, it did not. I turned the steering wheel, hard, to the right. Somehow as the tracks in the snow showed, the car did go to the right, but it kept going, across the road I was on, to the left side, into a ditch and a bale of hay! this was about 1 house from that main, busy road. With new tires. 1st a fedex driver saw what happened, asked about the tracks going to one side then the other. He tried to pull me out, but couldn't. Then a nice farmer and his gf stopped, he had a large 4-wheel drive, after an hour, even with shovels, we couldn't get out, he went back home, brought a 2nd truck, some ropes, they slowly dragged me out, away from hay stacks. They also noticed my basic s-curve, I couldn't stop, so I drove into the hay! this Ford did what it did before, took off with no pressure on the accelerator. It was stopped. I certainly didn't stomp down, I was braking and steering. I was stuck in freezing cold for 2+ hours. Then spent $325 on new brakes, rotors.

18 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 04/11/2021

On April 11, 2021, the 2015 Ford Fiesta I was driving unintentionally accelerated into a commercial building at a shopping mall. The car had two incidents of accelerating while applying the brake prior to the final incident where the car ran into a wall and was totaled. The car had never exhibited any braking or acceleration issues before this day. The first incident, I was slowing down to go over a speed bump. As I was applying the brake, the car jerked forward then stopped. It drove as normal through traffic for the next 8 miles. I was close to my destination, as I was applying the brake at a stop light, the car sped up and stopped when I pulled the emergency brake. Again, the car drove fine for the next � mile. I was very aware while I was pulling into a parking space. Neither the brake or accelerator was applied as I was coasting into a space. As I applied the brake, the car sped up, jumped the curb and accelerated into the side of a building. According to a witness and supported by pattern of skid marks, at one point the car was airborne. With the distance of about 15 feet between the curb and wall, there was little time to react. In my attempt to pull the emergency brake, I injured my thumb. My passenger sustained various bruises from the seat belt and the front dashboard. Neither the driver nor passenger airbags deployed. According to the black box report, the car accelerated from 0-100% in the final 5 seconds and the brake was applied at 10%-55%, yet the car continued to accelerate. I did not remove my foot from the brake until after the car impact, which is supported by skid marks shown in photos. In August 2019, Ford motor was aware of a transmission clutch shutter issue, but still proceeded with selling the car to an auction. One month later, I purchased from a dealership.

Not sure if it's the fuel system or the power train but I am having the same problem as lots of other people with this car! the check engine light is on and has read a code for a valve. My car is a 2017 and will not start right away after I add gas! I've been told its the engine valve and have had no luck finding anyone to cover it under warranty! Ford needs to recall this vehicle!.

25 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 04/29/2020

Engine light continues to come on. After adding gas to vechicle, ℂ𝕒𝕣 will stall. Sometimes takes several minutes to start. Was told by several mechanics it's the fuel system bc there is no cap, only the flap that doesn't close properly. Car has stalled while driving several times. Only 58,300 miles on vechicle. I've seen many complaints on this particular issue with this model. It is a safety issue when car stalls on highway or while driving. This has happened several times! car always has issues starting after adding gasoline.

26 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 04/22/2020

My 2017 Ford Fiesta has a malfunctioning canister purge valve. I am having the same exact problem for which the 2018 Ford focus cars were recalled. My car is only 2 & 1/2 years old and it is stalling after I fill it up with gas. After filling up at the gas station, it will not start on the first try. It starts on the second, third, or fourth try. The check engine light is on now as well. The dealership says it is not covered by my warranty. I have 56,000 miles on it. This car needs to be recalled. They will not pay for the costly repairs due to their faulty purge control valve. The 2017 Ford Fiestas need to receive the same recall that the 2018 Ford focus cars did. This is the same problem! (I do not know if the evap system is considered to be under powertrain or fuel/propulsion system. ).

27 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 02/06/2020

The car evap purge valve stays open. The car idles and dies everytime I put gas in. The purge valve was replaced less than a year of purchasing the car and it's gone bad again. The check engine light and engine malfunction warning came on then two days later the car died after I added gas and took 2 hours to start. I bought a new battery and drove it another week. It still idles after adding fuel even with the new battery. It finally died and I had it towed to the Ford dealer and they did a diagnostic and said the catalytic converter, throttle body and evao purge valve, O2 sensor is bad and all 3 needs replacing.

28 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 01/31/2020

29 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 01/30/2020

Every time gas is fill (and vehicle is off), once done pumping gas, the vehicle will not want to start right away, it will turn off while driving. This only occurs literately after pumping gas. 1/30/20 was the last time it was filled with gasoline. But every week gas is pumped it always happens. This started when mileage was about 20,000. 00 I believe, I immediately called and was informed to call a toll. I also spoke to the salesperson and informed him. I was informed then to change gas type. Also been taking the vehicle for same place (Ford) for oil changes, all the sudden there is an oil leak as well. Unsure how, when exactly it happened. It'f very minor, but interesting being that the vehicle is not that old. On another note just to inform, the suspension or something like that needed to be completely replace due to being factory defected. At the time, vehicle was still under warranty. For both issues.

30 Other Fuel System problem of the 2017 Ford Fiesta

31 Other Fuel System problem of the 2013 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 12/30/2019

The vehicle is straining to pick back up speed once it comes to a stop or slows down. There also seems to be a clicking sound coming from the transmission on the driver side. It seems to have trouble switching over the years because it's a dual transmission I'm suspecting something's wrong with the clutch there seems to be a shutter.

32 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

35 Other Fuel System problem of the 2012 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 11/01/2019

I have experienced repeated and frequent problems with my vehicle: shuts off for no reason daily, often at a traffic light or just after I begin accelerating; the transmission is faulty (has already been replaced once at 97,000 miles at great expense) and simply stops working at unexpected times (e. G. While driving down the road it slips into neutral and won't move, shudders, etc. I have to turn my Fiesta off and restart to get it to move). . This is a very dangerous vehicle and I cannot afford to replace it. I read that Ford has been aware of these issues from date of manufacture, and has not publicly acknowledged. It is my understanding that engineers of the Fiesta are now going public. When is something going to be done? why do I have to wait until I have been seriously injured, or worse, to get redress for what Ford motor company was aware of, and covered up, even while these vehicles were being manufactured? this is a continuing issue, not a single or even a 20 time occurance.
