That happened to me just about 6 weeks ago. $720 bucks out of warrenty

I’m so glad that I just barely made it before mine went out of warranty. I also took the opportunity to get my blend door actuator fixed which went bad at almost 1000 miles on the dot.

This repair took place quite some time ago, but is worth relaying: Think I mentioned this in another thread a long time ago. The hatchback door stopped working out of the blue inside the first 6 months I drove it off the lot. Whether I press the button on the remote to open the hatchback, or I use the button/lever on the hatchback itself, it would blow the fuse immediately. Went through about 5 fuses trying to troubleshoot it. I had just had an amp put in the rear of the car, next to the spare wheel, that was running a 10 inch sub, so I was hoping that wasn't causing the problem.

The rep. at Citrus Ford in Ontario told me REPEATEDLY (as if I didn't hear him the first time) that if the installation of the amp/sub was in any way involved in the failure, that I would be on the hook for all the repair costs and troubleshooting. I mildly questioned the relation of the hatchback wiring with stereo wiring and what kind of correlation they could have, but he was adamant. They took the car in, and had it for a couple hours. I was called back to come get the car. I was told there was no charge, the tech still had it in the bay, but I could go back there to talk to him (he was just finishing up). He told me it was a pinched wire that was done on the factory floor somehow. (If you have the hatchback all the way open, look at the canal at the top. There will be a plastic casing of wires that leads a couple things including the upper brake light. That casing had been pinched in the factory from misalignment and then ended up pinching the wire that pops the hatchback.) From all he told me he had to do to find the problem, he struck me as incredibly OCD about wiring. That is exactly what I want from a technician or a mechanic. People skills, not so much, but being that OCD about how things are laid out so they work right, YES. The Rep. didn't seem too thrilled that it was a Ford issue and not something that I, or 3rd party did, but that was OK with me.

Problem - Clutch pedal sticking
Fixed? Yes
Details - car spent 75 days at the dealer because they couldnt figure it out, wound up getting a new clutch new slave cylinder new master cylinder and axle before i called ford corporate. Wound up the master tech that did the slave cylinder job didnt hook up the fluid lines back correctly so they put a new line in which fixed everything. got the car back with brake fluid all over my front bumper and they forgot to put the rear motor mount bolt back in. currently still fighting with them to repaint my bumper. STAY AWAY FROM Park ford mahopac NY

I went in for the door latch recall about....dunno....two months ago...ish. They had to have the car for 3 days as they also did the center dash actuator for the second time in the life of the car's 37k miles (only). regardless of that, when they had the doors apart, they found that the cables going to the latches were shot to hell. They went ahead and replaced those cables for free. I was very pleased as I was already dropping over $800 on the actuator replacement. So here it is, two months later. The day after I get back from Vegas, the door lock (back half of the driver side door handle) just falls off to the ground as I closed my car door.


I have a service appointment on Monday morning. I'll update after I get the car back. I am very curious as to what they have to say.

So, they have to order the part. When it come in, it has to go to paint as they get in shipped in a matte black finish. Then they will call me to come in for fitting. They didn't say anything about how much it will cost, they just gave me the car back and said they'd let me know when it was ready for install. I am assuming since there was no price/cost or paper work filled out, that it is covered under the recall.

Ok i guees since im new here ill post something. So i bought my new used fiesta st last month. And the break pedal made an audiable pop when you pressed it all the way in and then released it. My friend assured me it was just neediing some lube. Well a week later i went for a ride and the poping stoped but now there was a hiss coming from the break pedal inside the cabin. Took it to a ford dealer and it was the break booster. It was puncured since they didnt turn on the car when bleeding the breaks last time they were changed. So i decided to do a full inspection and changed brake booster, break fluid, transmission oil, did a full service and also checked if i had a model with the oil belt(i dont luckily) and they also changed the front engine mount all for 1200eur. Then they f something up and the day i picked it up the hill assist wasnt working so i took it back and the break switch was busted. Ok now they replaced that also and gave me a discount. But the dealer said that there are some weird codes on the engine from before i got the car and he couldnt fuigure out why would they be there. And they told me that i should bring it back in a month for a free code inspection. Any thoughts? It is an imported car from germany to slovenia so maybe that had to do with something. Honestly thought that a newer car would have less problems than my previous 2010ish cars but nope its almost worse xD. Love the forum tho theres so much usefull stuff here.
Edit: 118000 km

Sounds like all the problems you have had to fix were the result of bad repairs/mechanical work. The weird codes may be the result of someone having tuned the car in the past.
