On Sunday December 4th 2022 my car battery died. I called aaa and they sent out a tow company to jump the battery. I noticed for about a month the car made a "ticking" noise. The noise would sound like a "sighing" when parking the vehicle. The passenger side door latch is broken and will no longer lock my door. My minor daughter used to sit up there but now because the door flys open she can no longer sit there. This is a serious safety hazard and needs to be recalled on Ford Fiesta 2016 as well.

I bought my 2016 Ford Fiesta in 2019 at 49k miles. Since I have had my car, my car battery would die randomly and my car would fail to detect my key. Recently, when my car hit about 98k miles, my car died again and I needed to buy another new battery. Once the battery was replaced, the -€œservice transmission now-€ sign began to show on the dash. My car will refuse to accelerate past 35 mph and will slow down to 0 mph. Found this out the hard way, on the freeway. My mechanic said I need a Transmission Control Module but the dealerships say the part I need is on back order. Another mechanic said the part itself is faulty and to NOT BUY another TCM. These are the following codes that returned on my car: P0606-00, P0702-00, UO401-00, UO131-00, UO420-86, UO101-00, UO140-00, U3003-16, UO193-00, U3006-16, V0427-68, B1007-94, UO121-87, VO127-87, UO140-87, B1C45-24, P0606 As of right now, there is no recall, so my car isn-€™t covered under the warranty. My 2016 Ford Fiesta was manufactured in November 2015.

Car shutoff while driving on the highway

- Hampton, VA, USA

When fuel is added to the vehicle, it will not start for 5-20 minutes after fuel is added and requires 3-5 attempts to start. Additionally, there have been times where once it starts and begins operating, it will lose power and shut off. This power loss has occurred multiple times after leaving the gas station parking loss, leading to being stalled while in motion on a roadway. This is a incredibly scary experience.

The driver side door latch failed. No longer holds the door closed. When closed, the door can be pushed open from the inside without touching the door handle. The car recognizes the door as always open. The vehicle was stationary.

The clutch pedal gets stuck about an inch off the floor after being depressed at seemingly random times usually in the warmer weather months. This has caused me to lose the ability to change gears and loss of ability to accelerate. It does not come out of this position until I physically pull the pedal off the floor. I have had incidents where I have been stuck in the middle of an intersection unable to move where I have almost been hit by oncoming traffic. This is not an uncommon issue and is noted in many Fiesta St forums.

My vehicle is a 2016 Ford Fiesta St with a sunroof. I live in an area where there is not much flat land to park vehicles. My driveway is greater than a 20% grade. This complaint is related to sunroof seal leaks in any mode of operation. The sunroof seal is a single strip of rubber with a disconnected seam that is oriented at the top of the sunroof. As the rubber ages, the rubber shrinks and the seam can develop into a gap that lets water inside the sunroof drainage tray. If the sunroof seal leaks or fails, the car is designed to collect the water and drain it to a location near the front wheel wells. This works perfectly as long as the car is level. If the car is parked at a 15% grade or steeper with the front of the vehicle pointing upwards, the sunroof seal will leak, but the water collected will not drain toward the intended drains. The water will instead flow down the sides of the roofline inside plastic troughs. These troughs are not well drained to the exterior. The water will flow through the troughs and exit into the interior of the vehicle near the head liner and the rear plastic trim of the interior next to the rear window. This will eventually fill up the sealed spare tire well, and will cause corrosion over time. This corrosion may affect the car's structural integrity and may affect the car's crash worthiness if allowed to continue. The water is only noticeable if the trunk shelf is removed, which in many vehicles will never happen. The water also has a tendency to collect on the rear seatbelt spool and the spool support fasteners. If the water is left on the seatbelt spools for long enough time, the seatbelts for the rear seats can be weakened over time by corrosion. The seatbelt issue may not become a safety concern until sometime in the car's future in the secondhand market. Black mold growth may become an issue as well.

We tried turning the car on. The lights started blinking rapidly the. It said the traction control was off. Even though we did not turn it off. We jump started the car and it went on but only for the dashboard to say 'transmission malfunction service now'. when driving on the street and freeway to the next exit. It felt and sound like the engine is revving the entire time no matter what speed. The RPM is running high going straight past 3

Over the summer 2019, passenger left side door did not latch. Child lock was on. Upon discovery of defect, it was taken to Ford to repair. On November 12, 2019, driver's side door did not want to latch. Went to check on the car next day, and the door latches without problems more than once. Filing a complaint because it has happened twice in the same year with different car doors. Will take to Ford again on November 15th to have it looked at to make sure there are no additional problems with the car. Both times the vehicle was stationary when this occurred.

Car stalls, doesn't pick up speed, hesitates to start, engine light is on because the gas valve needs to be replaced. Gas warning comes on when half full. Gas smell throughout car. Has a load humming sound when driving or idled. Jumps when accelerate. I have taken my car to a dealership in saint louis (relocated recently) and they won't touch it.

When I step on the gas, the car sporadically will not go. So I will step on the gas little bit more and the car will still not go. So I will step on the gas a little more and then something will engage and I will shoot forward. This happens in places where it could be catastrophic. For example, once I was at a stop sign and this was happening and because my car wasn't moving, another car started to go and my car finally engaged and shot forward and I narrowly missed hitting that other vehicle

Transmission issues. The car jerks and stutters and ramps up really high. Don't feel very safe in every day traffic. I just purchased the 2016 brand new in May 2017 and have had it back for service three times. I am not satisfied with the explanation of the dual transmission. Had I know it had the same transmission as my 2011 Fiesta, I would not have purchased this vehicle!

I had the hood on my Ford open today to clear out leaves that had gotten stuck around the vents under the hood. While I had the hood up I noticed "tin foil" around the windshield where it meets the frame of front windows.. I'm struck by that tin foil & on both sides the passenger side & the driver side of the windshield how safe is that.. (took three pics & hope you can see it) uploaded all 3 pictures.. auto was stationary at the time..

Maybe this is an oversite on my part, but I was taking someone home they were seated in backseat, the door was locked, thinking they could unlock door from the back, they were unable to, I had to unlock backdoor from the front (with button near fron console of car). I sat in the back and could not find a button to lock or unlock the back door except to ask driver or his passenger to unlock door from the front.. I think this is dangerous, especially in an accident, if something would to happen to the driver and back passenger is trapped. I still do not know where a button for. Had I gotten out of car and left passenger in car, he would have no idea how to unlock doors
