  Low pressure oil light came on and I stopped driving it 18 miles later drove about 25-30 mph hoping it wouldn’t seize on me before I got home. because I figure the oil pump is clogged with timing belt fragments and I can’t afford to replace the timing belt right now. Afraid to drive it because I have read it could seize up the engine. 1.0 eco boost manual transmission. Car ran great and I had no issues with it until the low pressure oil light came on. Been sitting since March. I have started it 4 times since then and it has been moved around the yard but never ran longer than a few minutes. Still starts just afraid with the low pressure oil light on that it could seize up if I drive it again.

  On June1, 2022 Mel Hambelton Ford replaced all 4 door latches do to recall. A few weeks ago I noticed that my 2 back doors were NOT Locking. They would click, but would not lock. Front doors work fine. The New latches they put in are as follows. LF-280720, LR-110820, RR-270914 and, RF-290914. I have attached the dated Invoice. In order to keep the doors from opening, I have taken my backseat belts and looped them through the door handles and fastened them. I am concerned that my car can be broken into do to the malfunction of the back door latches not locking. This is a major safety issue. Please advice as to how I should proceed?

  TAKATA RECALL ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2018, MY HUSBAND AND I HAD OUR CAR TOWED TO FRIENDLY FORD. IT BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING 35 MILES AN HOUR. IT HAD LESS THAN 21,000 MILES ON IT. OUR SERVICE ADVISER SAID WOULD BE ABOUT FRIDAY OR SATURDAY OF THAT WEEK BEFORE WE COULD GET A DIAGNOSIS. HE INITIALLY TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NO MORE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY LEFT ON THE CAR (IT HAD EXPIRED ON JUNE OF 2018), BUT THAT IT PROBABLY WOULD BE COVERED WITH THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY SO WE LEFT THE CAR AT FRIENDLY FORD. HE DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE BELT JUMPED 45 DEGREES WHICH CAUSED IT TO GET CAUGHT IN THE PULLEY OF THE TIMING BELT AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I CALLED THE FORD CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD THAT IF IT WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FURNISH A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WARRANTY ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH A LOW MILEAGE ON THE CAR, BUT WHEN I CALLED BACK TO ASKED THEM ABOUT IT, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING AVAILABLE. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR IT ONLY HAD 10,093 MILES ON IT AND WE DIDN'T EVEN PUT 11,000 MILES ON IT BEFORE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED. AFTER WE HAD IT TOWED TO AUTO AIR AND MORE, THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND FOUND THAT SAME PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD FORD FIESTA THAT HAD HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT OURS WAS BY FAR THE WORST CASE. FRIENDLY FORD TOLD US THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY THE TIMING JUMPED 45 DEGREES BUT THERE HAS TO BE AN REASON WHY IT JUMPED. A CAR WITH LESS THAN 21,000 MILES DOES NOT JUMP ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT SOME REASON FOR IT. IT HAPPENED REAL FAST TOO.

  Since early Friday morning on 11/5/21, my Ford Fiesta has been having an intermittent involuntary braking issue associated with all of the lights flickering on/off and the gauges swiping back/forth on the cluster/dashboard while driving. I also noticed the “Hill Assist Control” alert pops up on the radio monitor with the involuntary braking. As well as the sound of the door being open with the key in the ignition will come on while the involuntary braking occurs. Additionally, the windows were resisting being rolled up while driving but will roll up when in park. I also noticed this braking problem tends to reoccur with accelerating quickly or making a turn. On friday afternoon on 11/5/21, I had cautiously drove with my hazards on, while the intermittent involuntary braking problem continued to persist, to my local Autonation Ford to ask about a safety recall associated with this involuntary braking problem and they told me there was no safety recall associated with this problem at this time. They told me that I would need to pay $1100 to replace and reprogram my cluster/dashboard computer. This is unacceptable given the inherent safety risks associated with this intermittent and involuntary braking problem. I believe I should be able to replace and reprogram my cluster/dashboard computer for free due to the safety risks. Thank you for reviewing and considering my proposal of my safety issue.

  Ford Fiestas such as my vehicle as well as Ford Focus have been shown to have transmission issues and Ford has failed to perform a widespread recall. I bought my vehicle a year and a half ago from a Ford dealership and it has less than 75,000 miles and now has a transmission issue(transmission clutch shudder diagnosed by Ford dealership) that could cause the vehicle to suddenly stop moving or slip gears. No warning lights have come on. While researching this issue I found that a previous lawsuit regarding the failed part on my car did not include my vehicle and many others that have the same issue.

  The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would hesitate as the transmission warning light would intermittently appear on the instrument panel. The vehicle was initially taken to the dealer where the battery was replaced but the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle would fail to start up after multiple attempts as both oil and transmission fluid had begun to leak from the vehicle. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed back to the dealer where they diagnosed the vehicle with a heating system failure. The contact inquired about the fluid leakage and was informed that no fluid leaks were found. The contact was forced to take the vehicle back to the dealer for a third time as the failure persisted and the dealer confirmed the transmission fluid leak and other transmission failures. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.
