This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
On many occasions when my vehicle in in motion the cruise control comes on without any prompt and accelerates while traveling on streets and highways. This defective cruise control has caused myself and my wife to nearly have an accident. This is an extremely dangerous vehicle because of this faulty cruise control. The only way to stop this faulty error is to immediately engage the foot brake pedal but this may happen again in a short period of time.
I was driving my car one night and in the mist of driving, it was jerking really bad and the acceleration was going in and out. The car came to a complete stop and even though it was on and running it wouldn't move as if it was stuck, luckily before someone hit me behind it jumped back into to gear and started to move a little until it started to jerk again. I didn't go anywhere but 2 mins down the street and back home. Once I got home and was ready to leave again it wouldn't start anymore and now I no longer have a car and I haven't even had it long. I took the car to Ford and it was stated that it's a recall on something to do due with my transmission and on the paper the same exact things that I was experiencing was on the recall possible symptoms.
After filling the vehicle with fuel, the car will not start for at least 5 minutes. Once driving the rpms will fluctuate rapidly while I have my foot on the gas. The car will have trouble accelerating and then speed up and I have to be careful to stop it. If I have to stop and start too many times in traffic this will also cause the rpms to fluctuate and then the car will stall. I have to throw it in park and then try to restart real fast and when I restart it it accelerates quickly.
My car is having electrical issues, the transmission will over rev but my speed remains the same or decreases. The car will lose power over time and the pedal will become spongy. This has become a very large inconvenience and an extreme safety hazard to myself and my passenger. I was almost in a collision with another vehicle which would be deemed my fault even though it would me the vehicle malfunctioning. When contacting Ford dearborn and perry Ford they tell me there's nothing they can do or I can pay a fee.
My 2015 fordfiesta loses speed stalls and has been brought in to dealership in ruston, was told it was clutch recall they fixed it and it still drives horrible.I lost speed nearly got hit.on way to dealership now check engine light on says service now I'm upset the at has under 22K miles stalls loses power
Upon easy acceleration, the throttle response goes dead at 20 to 30 mph, the car slows down to a crawl yet the engine seems to idle well...my car has automatic transmission..fearing rear end collision
Lost all throttle/power trying to accelerate onto highway from dead stop. Coasted to the shoulder while the car idled. Restart the car and problem goes away temporarily. Check engine light/code says throttle body actuator control system stuck closed (P2112).
The contact rented a 2015 Ford Fiesta. While attempting to park and releasing the accelerator pedal, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle independently accelerated. As a result, the contact drove over the parking divider. The contact depressed the brake pedal again and the vehicle came to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the contact's residence where it was towed to the rental company. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,300.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fiesta. Upon depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle was extremely slow to pick up speed and slow to downshift. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for further inspection. The VIN was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 300.
