The contact owns a 2017 Ford Fiesta. The contact had initially taken her vehicle to an independent mechanic for a tune-up. The check engine light appeared on the instrument panel soon after service and the vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic six more times. Despite multiple visits, the engine light remained illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer who diagnosed the vehicle with a defective pedal sensor. The contract also replaced the battery which removed away the check engine warning light. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic for an oil change; after the oil change, the oil warning light appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer where they informed her that the engine had overheated and led to engine failure. The contact was given an estimate for a new engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred her to the federal safety agency Hotline for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

Car wants to stall after getting fuel
I was in an accident in 2019 a few months after purchasing car since then my engine light was on. Had it serviced and the engine light was still on. Was told it could be a transmission problem. Every now and then it would shuttle once started. Today it didn't want to excellerate while driving
After and while gassing up car stalls and does not start up right way.. Sounds like evap sensor and canister issues and ford does not want to know about it..and car only has 60000 miles
The car want start and the oil light and engine light is on. I had a oil change done on the car today after getting it home it will not start up the battery is good but the car is just not start. Its turning over but staying on
My car been acting like it don't wanna start back in march its been saying engine malfunction service now and I been in contact with ford about it for the longest. I wanted them to fix it because I got the car from them and I knew I was still in my warranty. Then my car was only a year and a half old. They been telling me the part been on back order and some people said they don't a order for my car but 3 weeks ago from today I was driving my car and it started slowing down on was on martin luther king drive . I got an oil change a week before my warranty expired no one said anything to me about my car needed more work and they didn't say anything about the part I ordered. It's like as soon as my warranty expired my car started skipping and not wanting to start. I got my car towed and ford worked on it saying that the throttle body to my car went out and it needed to be replaced. I have pictures and videos from when my car started acting up to when it stop driving.
Vehicle engine stalls when in traffic. When I decelerate and engage the clutch (manual transmission), sometimes the engine speed will go so low, the engine stalls. It usually happens in very heavy traffic and I have to engage the clutch. This always happens when the vehicle is in motion. This happens pretty much anywhere, street, highway, freeway, drive way. It only happens when the clutch is engaged. If the car is in gear and the clutch is not engaged, it wont stall. I did take it to hemborg ford in norco, ca and they reflashed the computer, but it still is happening. Yesterday 12 aug, I was entering a roadway and a vehicle jumped in front of me. I applied both the brakes and clutch and when I tried to accelerate, the engine was stalled creating a very dangerous situation as I was already committed to entering the roadway and vehicles were approaching me from behind at a very high rate of speed.
Turning a curvature on a mountain road steering locked and brakes failed car went over the mountain as a result passangers three were injured and one fatality.
I recently purchased the 2017 ford fiesta, (just hit the 30 day mark), and about a week in I noticed the car do this jolt thing while accelerating. I thought I may have been just laying my foot too hard on the gas by accident but now, on a few different occasions, while slowing the car down it has violently jumped forward. It started as seeming to have a hard time switching gears on acceleration but these few times I was slowing with my put on the brake and it thrusted forward, violently.
