Ac will stop blowing cool and begin again. Repair shop can't figure out why. For a new car has many issues for being out for such a short time.

Failure Date: 07/21/2019

When fuel is added to the vehicle, it will not start for 5-20 minutes after fuel is added and requires 3-5 attempts to start. Additionally, there have been times where once it starts and begins operating, it will lose power and shut off. This power loss has occurred multiple times after leaving the gas station parking loss, leading to being stalled while in motion on a roadway. This is a incredibly scary experience.

42 Other Fuel System problem of the 2011 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 06/01/2019

The engine malfunction service light came on and the sorry bottle position sensor keeps on saying it's spelt faulty, but when I replaced the throttle body and replaced the gas pedal it was still having issues, and now I'm barely getting to and from work anymore or anywhere else, even down the street because it continues to put itself in safe mode. So I am out for a thought of body and a gas pedal, and it's still not fixed the issue.

44 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 03/21/2019

The car will stutter every time after fueling up and sometimes stall while pulling out into oncoming traffic. This has been an ongoing defect since purchasing the car. I brought this to the dealers attention years ago and they did nothing about it. I have followed there refueling instructions per there manual since purchasing the car and this makes no difference. This should be a safety recall, this defect creates a very unsafe driving condition.

45 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 03/09/2019

In the past one year every time I refuel my car works weird for a couple of miles. While I'm driving and stops at intersections or whatever reasons, it feels like the engine wants to stop (rpm drops to/below 500). After a few miles the problem is gone until the next refueling. All system is normal as per the computer / dealership diagnostics, and I couldn't figure out what is the reason.

46 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Ford Fiesta

After filling up, the car idles roughly. Rpms drop unexpectedly, and sometimes kill the engine. This has resulted in the car sporadically dying at intersections while idling and while shifting into first gear. The car has been doing it consistently after filling up with gas. Does not matter the gas station or fuel type (87, 91, 93 octane). No codes are thrown and dealership has been unable to duplicate problem.

47 Other Fuel System problem of the 2014 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 02/01/2019

Open recall for fuel system for this years car to those made up to June 2014. My car should fall under this as it will not pass emissions and therefore registration due to the fuel system which stalls out every time I fill up for gas. My car was manufactured in July. Additionally, the suspension needs to be completely replaced due to failure. Even my mechanic is completely baffled why a newer car would have so many safety issues.

53 Other Fuel System problem of the 2016 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 11/09/2018

The car will not start properly after refueling. You have to press on the gas several times and then the brake to start it. When it does start, you need to rev the engine a couple times to make sure it won't die again. The transmission is now slipping and drops to neutral while driving at any given time. It happened to me twice this morning while driving on the interstate. When it finally gets back into gear, it lurches forward. This morning I was nearly in an accident because of this new development in a 2 year old car. I will never buy a Ford again, this is too dangerous for anyone valuing their lives.

55 Other Fuel System problem of the 2011 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 10/26/2018

For the past few months I've been trying to figure out what's been happening with my vehicle. I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta. It is a manual. I'm not stalling it, but when I'm driving- whether I'm stopped or actually moving (even at 45 + mph) it will completely shut off. The rpms sometimes fall 2-300 below randomly but will come back and keep going. However, when they fall and for whatever reason the vehicle can't figure out that the rpms should be higher, it shuts off completely. When it actually shuts off I have no warning. . Read more...

If I yield then go with out completely stopping the transmission won't change gears unless I let it coast until it changes or stop and let it change before I proceed.

60 Other Fuel System problem of the 2013 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 01/12/2018

The natural vacuum leak detection pump on my vehicle needs to be replaced . A review on line shows that this device which is part of the emissions system is continuously backordered for months. Indicatiing a high failure rate. This pump is essential in that it permits the car to be filled at a gas pump. In failure you can only fill a gallon at a time before the valve in it closed and you have to remove the nozzle and start again.

62 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 12/12/2017

I was leaving las vegas, going 70 mph down hill and my car started to loose power while it produced a lot of white smoke. I was in a very dangerous situation and was stranded for 4 hrs in the middle of nowhere. The car never gave symptoms just died. No check engine or overheating, oil, coolant. I was traveling on a trip so I did have luggage but I never maxed car weight. The car is 2 years old with less than 48,000 miles. I've done all my maintenance on my car early than stickers and don't drive hard. Since I've had the car I've added about 10,000 miles. Back to what happened, I was able to get towed to barstow for free but mechanic I was referred to was closed. Frustrating and emotionally scaring. I had to cut a deal with the tow company to drive me as close as possible to my home in 94536 zip area. But I could only afford to san jose. The next day I ordered another roadside assistance to fremont Ford dealer and have to wait until it's convenient for them to diagnose it for 179. I haven't slept in 48 hrs and Ford needs to compensate me for distress. My confidence in the car and experience is on a string.

66 Other Fuel System problem of the 2015 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 09/19/2017

For about a year in a half now when I put gas in my car and go to start the car, it will sputter and shut off. It will do this for about 5 mins after getting gas. Then I will drive away. When waiting to pull out of the gas station it will shut off. Recently when the car is in park it will sputter a little rpms will go from 1 to almost 0. Today 9/12/2019 I was slowing down to a red light and the car just shut off. I coasted up to the light put it in park and started it again. It sputtered and as I came up to the next red light it did it again. This does this no matter how much gas is in the car when I fill up. The dealer won't do anything about it cause it's not under recall. This is very unsafe. I have kids in my car. Not what I want going on with them in the car and in traffic daily.

67 Other Fuel System problem of the 2013 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 07/01/2017

I have been experiencing transmission problems including the car stalling when accelerating while trying to complete turns in traffic during turn signals. I have at one point a situation at a stop light where brakes were applied and car went forward unexpectedly. Additionally since almost the beginning of the vehicle it has run rough, sometimes having difficulty changing gears, multiple incidents where it stalled when accelerating on interstate. Had 2 different repairs to review problem, including Ford computer fix that was supposed to help, but did not. This happened multiple times for these instances. Instance I demoted on calendar involved vehicle stalling at turns which has happened multiple times as well.

70 Other Fuel System problem of the 2012 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 03/01/2017

Ford Fiesta, 2012 are not worth anyone's money. The moment I got it, the a/c would not blow anything out, my car would stop at stop signs and in the middle of the road when not in motion and trying to pass traffic, which is completely life threatening. It has a bunch of electrical issues and will start flashing (the warning signs) and then stop randomly. It is jerking at almost all times and shuts off a ton, I have gotten it checked multiple times and spent more than I can afford. This vehicle is ridiculous and I intend to tell everyone I know!!! I am always scared when driving my own car that I spent thousands on, Ford needs to figure this out.
