What owners say
Lost all power to vehicle at freeway speed. Ford dealer indicated fuel pump failure. My vehicle missed existing recall (14S30) for this exact issue by 11 days.
The contact's son owns a 2014 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced an engine cooling system failure and was repaired. The contact later became aware that the VIN was included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 17V209000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) that he related to the failure. The contact stated while his son was was at a complete stop at the traffic light, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart with a 15 seconds delay. Upon making a right turn, the failure reoccurred. The contact's son was able to restart the vehicle; however, the failure persisted upon making a left turn. The vehicle restarted with a 30 seconds delay. The contact's son was able to continue driving. However, the failure reoccurred the next day while coming to a complete stop. The check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that fuel rail and fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was able to restart and was towed to the contact's residence. The contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number:Â 15V005000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and the federal safety agency Campaign Number:Â 14V402000Â (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 36,999.
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. I had to pay to repair an issue that should have been covered by the recall.
I was driving on interstate 95 at 70 miles per hour when my vehicle just turned off. I was driving during normal conditions, on 12/09/2019 in florida. All of the dash lights remained on and the vehicle gave no indications that the engine was going to cut off. I had just had my battery tested a few days prior and it was in good working order. I was able to safely pull my vehicle to the side of the interstate this time and the vehicle started again when I tried. It stalled a second time before I was able to merge back into traffic. It restarted again and I was able to make it to my destination. I have looked at the recall lists for ford and the 2014-2015 ford fiesta is on the list with the issue my vehicle experienced but my VIN is not included in that recall. Will there be a recall on my VIN? The current recall deals with the fuel pump stalling the vehicle. The recall number relating to the fuel pump plating is 14s30. The federal safety agency campaign number is 15v005000
Terrible shuttering from the transmission, I had to bring it to the local ford after I changed the battery, it wouldn't shift thought the gears. So they changed the transmission control module and the solenoid's, 4 months later my fiance was driving down the high way and the car looses all power (steering, braking, e.c.t) I take it to the local ford dealer it takes them 32 days to get back to me to tell me its going to need a new transmisson witch cost $4,800 to fix a $7,500 car and there's nothing they can do about that. Knowing that this is a major problem for these vehicles. Car just rejects fuel and fuel pumps randomly.
My fuel pump is failing causing my car to stall at strange times.
I received a recall notice about a year ago warning my vehicle may randomly stall due to a defect with this vehicle. About 6 months later I started experiencing random stalls mainly while stopped at red lights. I have lost my recall notice and when I contacted my local ford dealer they said the VIN associated with my vehicle was not on the recall list. However, ford has a public recall relating to a fuel pump warning the exact problem my vehicle is experiencing and it is a huge safety concern. Ford refuses to repair the vehicle.
My vehicle suddenly cut power to the engine while driving down my straight street. No warning lights came on. It refused to start after several attempts to jump it with different vehicles and cables. Had it towed to the dealer who diagnosed a failed fuel pump.
Car stalls intermittently and now fuel pump seized.
