Ford Fiesta
Model Overview
The Fiesta is Ford's made-in-Europe answer to consumer demand for subcompact cars in North America. Handsome styling is backed up by a solid chassis that belies the car's inexpensive price. Sharing a platform with the Mazda2, the Fiesta is the more refined of the pair. It's one of the least-expensive cars to offer a dual-clutch transmission, and later models could be had with a turbo three-cylinder engine.

Has excellent fuel economy
November 23, 2017
Overall Score
The car has proven to be reliable. There have been minor issues with the transmission but Ford covered it under warranty and it has worked fine ever since.
It now has over 100,000 km and I am satisfied with it.
It would nice if they made the seats more comfortable.
I like the idea that back seat folds down to give a greater carry capacity. The truck is large for this size of vehicle. If you want a good economical car I recommend the Fiesta.
The next time I would buy one with air conditioning and cruze control.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
19S28
Units Affected:
13,564
Notification Type:
Safety TC
Issue:
On certain cars, water and road debris can enter the battery junction box. This could result in corrosion of some electrical components. If this happens, the low beam headlights and daytime running lights could turn off while driving. This recall applies to cars originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador).
Safety Risk:
A loss of low beam headlights and/or daytime running lights would reduce visibility. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to service the battery junction box. The dealer will clean the battery junction box, install foam sealing to the cover, and replace any corroded fuses, terminals or relays.

Notification Type:
Safety TC
In certain vehicles registered and operated in areas where road salt is used on the roadways during winter months for extended time periods (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland-Labrador), moisture containing road salt could enter the battery junction box and cause corrosion of the fuse and wiring terminals. This could result in a loss of electrical connectivity in some circuits related to the powertrain, potentially causing the vehicle to stall without the ability to restart. This could also affect the exterior lighting, which would decrease vehicle conspicuity. These conditions could increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect, clean any corrosion off the terminals and replace any defective fuses. Seals will also be installed in the battery junction box to prevent future moisture entry.

On certain vehicles equipped with 1.6L GTDI engines, low coolant level could lead to localized overheating of the cylinder head, which could cause a fire. This could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a coolant level sensor and supporting hardware and software. Note: Until repair parts are available, owners should regularly check engine coolant level and top up as necessary. Also note for Fiesta, only the ST model vehicles are affected.

On certain vehicles, the door latches may have a broken pawl spring tab. This could result in the door not latching correctly. As a result, doors which appear to be latched could unlatch while driving. This could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace all four door latches with a more robust part. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2015-175.

On certain vehicles, improper nickel plating of certain fuel pump internal components could contaminate the pump, potentially resulting in an inoperative fuel pump. This could result in a no-start condition, or an engine stall without warning and without the ability to restart the vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the Fuel Delivery Module (FDM).

On certain vehicles, the Restraint Control Module will turn OFF the right side air curtain, as well as the front passenger seat-mounted side airbag, when the Occupant Classification System (OCS) senses the right front seat is not occupied. Although the vehicle meets prescribed Standards for side impact protection, failure of the right side air curtain to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the right rear seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Restraint Control Module.
