1 Water Pump problem of the 2014 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 07/10/2019

2014 Ford Fiesta 47,000 miles now not only has a transmission problem but suddenly a leaking water pump. According to several car sites, there was a class action lawsuit against Ford for the water pump leak. I just got off the phone from their corporate office and they are claiming that too bad, I'm out of luck and will have to pay $724 out of pocket to get it fixed. This car has had too many recalls and it was barely driven to have this problem. Ford needs to pay up and make better cars. This is unacceptable. They have lost a customer for life.

3 Water Pump problem of the 2011 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 07/14/2014

My car was sitting in a parked position on a hill side and drifted backward over the hill, hit a guideline and rolled over two times. The car had been in the dealership over 20 times. Ford and erie ins. Met in may of 2014 and both decided the problems were related to manufacturing issues. The Ford dealership replaced my 2011 Ford Fiesta's computer, water pump,reprogrammed the transmission replaced the flywheel between the motor and the transmission,entire engine (short block and heads were replaced, coils, and many other items were replaced trying to correct the problem. The transmission allowed the car to roll down the hill backwards instead of holding the car in a stopped position. I asked my car insurance company and Ford motor to meet and have the car assessed for mechanic failures after the crash several times. I was told by the representative at my local Ford dealership that Ford did not want to look into the problem because they did not want to open themselves up to liability. . Erie insurance did not want to spend the money investigating the crash, it should be Ford motor company's responsibility to look into the crash. I ask erie insurance to hold the car at the savage yard until either party could investigate the problems the car had over the past year and subsequent failure resulting in the total loss of my vehicle. Ford motor and c harper Ford both knew my 2011 Ford Fiesta had issues over the past year while my car was attempting to get fix(it was at the dealership approximately 26 times) and continued to fail. The Ford service consultant tom/ mechanic at the dealership informed me the Ford Fiesta models we having multiple mechanical issue and the car was junk. However, upon the 26 times they attempted to fix the car they allowed me to drive it with both myself and my family in the car. Thus knowing they were putting us a risk.

4 Water Pump problem of the 2011 Ford Fiesta

Failure Date: 04/05/2012

22 days plus additional 6 days: told by Ford dealership mechanic that oil pan is leaking oil, and water pump leaking. Dye pen fluorescent light inspection shows front crank seal leak, inspection of engine block damaged threads. Replaced engine per Ford, removed transmission from engine, disassemble engine from engine mount, mount new short block and install, reseal components, re-time engine, install engine to transmission assembly, rechecked for leaks coolant and oil. Ford Fiesta broke down next day after I picked up car from Ford shop for 22 days, automatic transmission would not go into drive, reverse or neutral, called tow truck for help to get vehicle back to Ford mechanic, who still working on car. I am very disappointed with the quality of the 2011 Ford Fiesta, doesn't get 40mpg, gets 35mpg, does not accelerate when you need to kind of lags, then makes gurgling noise in the water pump. 2011 Ford Fiesta is not made in the USA and it shows, it's a lemon.
