While driving at approximately 65 MPH, the car stalled. The car would not start again retiring towing to repair shop. The repair shop said the fuel pump was bad. Other vins for this year/make/model were recalled for this exact issue. I was told my VIN was not included in the recall. I believe it should have been included.

My 2014 ford fiesta suddenly stopped running on the interstate 4 during rush hour (approximately 5pm on may 12 2017). The car was running and it stalled randomly. I restarted and it would not run. After towing it to the dealership, they determined it was due to a fuel pump malfunction. It was mentioned how unusual it is for this to occur on a car with relatively low mileage. There was no warning before the car broke down. No check engine lights. No strange noises. It just stopped. This could be extremely dangerous. After being informed what the issue was, I researched the problem. There was a recall for ford fiestas manufactured between april 30 2014 to may 21 2014 (recall # 14s30) for this exact issue: fuel pump failure. The recall notice states that if the fuel pump fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. When contacting ford regarding this issue on 5/24/2017, we were told there is nothing that could be done since our car was manufactured just prior to the recall date. I believe this problem was caused by the same issue that was in the recall. It should be noted by the ford motor company to prevent this from happening to others, not dismissed. Again, this could be extremely dangerous as my car was running at the time this happened. I was lucky that the traffic was slow. I also believe I should be compensated for my repair that was done at the autonation ford in sanford, fl as this is a known issue. I have kept up all maintenance on my car and the fuel pump failed due to a defective part.

I purchased a ford fiesta vehicle in 2014.while driving on the highway the car automatically stalled and shut down completely like a kill switch has been turned off driving in traffic. This all happened within 1 year from purchase of vehicle. Then a similar situation occurred in 2015. And now again, in 2017 the same exact issue with the fuel pump/system automatically stalls and shut down completely like a kill switch has been turned off while driving in motion on the highway in traffic. I am totally dissatisfied with the purchase of this vehicle because of the danger my life was put in while driving on the road. This was a very pricey investment that I did not expect to or should be experiencing regarding several life threatening issues and defects with the ford fiesta. Especially in such short period of ownership. This car should be recalled and not sold to people until the fuel pump system is completely fixed.
