Fuse box is filled with dirt. Apparently it's an issue on 2011 fiesta. I was not informed by ford about the issue. They had some type of recall on that: tsb 17b16. I am the original owner. The car shuts down occasionally on idle, while driving in the city. Very sudden, "clean" shutdowns. No rough idle. Quite often I would not realize that the engine is down until I press accelerator and there is no action. It is out of the blue. Dangerous in traffic!

There was an active recall on my 2011 ford fiesta hatchback ses that I aquired from an auto dealer but not from ford. Took it to ford when I later found out about the recall on door latches and went to have the latches fixed and later that day the front passenger window pops off track and my window on the drivers side has issues with going up and down. The ford place said that in order to fix the windows it would cost 100.00 dollars to fix and they swear up and down thst they didn't work in the doors but the had to replace the latches. The windos wasworking fine until I took it to shaffer ford.they said in the shop that there was a recall on the transmission clutch and the control module but it seemed to shift fine and I now have a wrench light and not the oil light beside the wrench one but another one and the transmission malfunction alert comes on in the display. My girlfriend is pregnant and when it jerks when I come to a complete stop it pulls the car seat tight on her belly and everytime it hurts her. I believe it's a safety issue and my only means of transportation. If I knew about this car before I stated the finance, I would of purchased something else. Just wanted to say thank from all us folks who got the ford fiesta. They are junk. I hope

To whom it may concern, my name is [xxx] and I am writing this complaint about a 2011 ford fiesta se I purchased at a private dealer on july 1, 2016. The car started running very strange after a week I experience very ruff rides. So I called ford company in mcdonough ga. The person I talked to said that it was on recall and for me to bring it in, I did. They kept it over night to update the transmission and other problems causing me to pay for a rental which I felt should have been paid by the dealer or ford motor company. I did ask the dealer if they knew the car was on recall and they said no! I ask question after question, the owner even drove the car himself and said that<s the way the car runs. I also have problems with the door locks, speed,speeding up on it<s own, transmission, hesitation, using more gas, and sounds ruff when trans get very hot. I now have to take it back on 9-19, 2016 I guess for more testing. I have notified the dealership about this. I am very stressed about this because I have a loan for $7000+ financed. Is there any help out there to get this rectified this problem. I need my car for transportation. Which me luck.

My car had the transmission control module reprogrammed on 06/06/16 and is having the same issue as we speak 8/24/16. The car jerks, doesn't accelerate properly and is doing what it wants, very unsafe as it doesn't want to shift and jolts when it does. It's almost like its stuck in gear. This car has been nothing but problems and I'm irritated that this was repaired 2 months ago and the problem clearly isn't fixed. I'm pregnant and am very dissapointed that ford can allow a problem like this to continue without proper resolution and safety for its customers.

My 2011 ford fiesta se will not start. Electrical issues , PCM possibly. When you try to start the car all lights flicker, battery is fine and continues to attempt to start even after the key is turned back in non-starting position. The radio and USB/charging ports don't work either. This potential repair is going to cost me more than this thing is worth. Ford shouldn't sell crap. I bought this car because I needed reliable safe transportation not to have a money pit with no transportation and a loan. I literally just spent $1000 at a garage for maintenance and it wouldn't start when I went to pick it up yesterday. Now the ford dealership is guessing pm! I shouldn't have to pay for this, ford should recall the PCM and fix the electrical or stop ripping people off with garbage.

Took my car in twice for the TCM and it's even worse. Shuddering, electrical failures,loss of engagement while driving, and worst of all ford is denying me service until I put another 1,500 miles on the car! Not sure if this is even legal. Trying to press for a lemon law now.
