277,000 miles here and still going strong. It’s a street legal go kart pretty much, I can throw it in the corners with no brakes and it stops on a dime cuz it weighs like 50lbs😭😭
My 2011 I bought new never had one issue with it. Still driving strong only replaced the oil and air filter. Front brakes once and shocks. That’s it. Been a great car.
if you're buying a used fiesta and you drive fast and you bought from somewhere like a rental place or previous owner a old lady I almost guarantee you'll be replacing the throttle within the first year. I bought my car 63k miles previous owner was old lady it was very well taken care of but was never driven past 80 most likely 😂 had to replace my throttle in the first 6/mo other then that no problems. I went thru Ford and paid 600$ and now that I know how easy it is to replace I'm crying 😂😂😂😂 thank you!
Also don't forget about the PowerShift transmission if you go for the automatic version of any ford car from this gen. My mum's stopped working at like 50'000 km. There's also a class action against ford in the US and Australia regarding this.
I have the 5 speed--super fun to drive and I get ~35MPG in town. The water pump did go out.... but the good news is the one they replaced it with exploded so I got a free warranty-paid-for rebuild on my engine for the price of a water pump replacement. Thanks for helping me catch my lower control arm issue before it got any worse.
As a fiesta 2013 owner, the only issues I had were: -Once the engine fan blew and had to replace it, it was kinda expensive -after 9 years of having the car, both left door window switches failed and had to replace them. However its not that expensive
If anybody considering buying one used get the manual. 2011 here 117k miles 100% reliable. The original front rotors passed inspection every year until I change them recently. Even the headlights are original.
My fiesta had the biggest problem with water leaking into boot compartment trough some unvisible holes. I put silicone every where and changed gaskets under stoplights. Another problem coolant leakage from heatwater housing
Happy you liked it! Planning on picking up a 2019 and doing the exact same to it. Trading in my current ride for a commuter that will be paid off instantly and driving it until it completely blows up. Happy to hear it was pretty much trouble free for you.
The low beams quit working on my 2013 fiesta. Found out the relay had corroded so bad that the leads broke off inside the fuse box. All the 2011-2013 fiestas I find in the junk yard have the same issue.
literally just got this fixed on my 2012 fiesta. happens to every single one of them. best way to safely get home is keep your brights on since they are not affected.
Ford escape owner. Big fan of ford now. Hardly any problems. Between this fiesta and the Toyota matrix. This gets more mpg but obviously you get more storage with vibe
Coolant Pipes crack and burst, oil leaks from Gear box, Oil cooler failure leading to oil and coolant mixing. and rocker cover gasket fails. starter motor is another weakness and fuel pump. door handles become lose
I recently bought one used 2015 model 2.0l 4cylender automatic transmission. There seems to be delay when shifting gears, is it beause its a old car so gear shifts take long or is there a transmission problem?
on a right hand drive is everything on the other side or does It stay the same, for example would the water pump still under the passenger side or would it be under the drivers side.
Hey what about if the temperature control knob in the middle dooesnt work? No matter what I switch it to, it stays on top air feed and bottom air feed.
I have 2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6, manual, hatch, . I ve replaced HVAC resistor 3 times! I think its a factory deffect! (Voltage spikes killing the resistor!) It will happen much less after 2012 and up
So far you are the man straight to the point just got this car for a backup , car is all good but is a Basic stock car runs and drive just fine But I always like to know in advance if I have to deal with anything and your videos are perfect
Track rods .I had a noise noone could identify but me and son him moving steering wheel me underneath hand on ball joints bottom ball joints then I put hand on gatter of track rod and knock found replacement both sides noise gone good days
Got a 215 1.25 fiesta been serviced got a light service now goes in to limp mode service light has been re set but still happens stores no codes can you help kind regards to you all the best ron
Even though P0700 code is triggered, Ford dealership claimed that the TCM warranty doesn't cover P287B. In other words, no correlation. Agree or disagree?
133000 on my 2011 fiesta sedan and a spark plug shot out of the cylinder head. Stripped. Apparently this is a rare thing on these?? Helicoil was not an option. I’m sure some garage monkey stripped it during a tune up. Also replaced the manifold/cadi. Still got a p0420. Going to do the two O2 sensors again. I got so much $$ it makes me sick but most all is service shop hours. Not parts. But it’s a great driver! 5 speed manual and I love it so much.
My car would idle at high rpm’s took it to get diagnosed and sure enough the throttle body needed replacement. $150 bucks for it. Did it myself a few bolts. No problems with that now.
Can some one share a hose diagram please mainly heater core to head and water reserve to ??? I got an 2017 ford fiesta se hatch std and the previous owner re rout the houses and plugged some hoses. I just want to put it back how it goes but I’m having issues finding where it goes
I have a 2016 Ford fiesta. The pvc breather hose is attached under the battery and it's not attached too anything on the other end... Should it be attached to something?
Can anyone tell me if the 2011 Ford Fiesta (manual transmission) has an air intake control valve or not? I can't find it anywhere on my car, but they are available for sale online. However, some forum posts are saying they don't have one.
Looking to buy a black edition 2014 fiesta with a 1.0 ecoboost engine, turbo and 140ish hp, is it a good first car to buy and is it reliable? The one Im looking to buy has 120tkm.
my 2014 fiesta doesn't have any issues. but probably because it barely has any miles on. only 47200 ish miles driven. I'm the car's second hand. first hand was my mother so I know for a fact that the car never had issues. its a good car
Suddenly my FIesta not moving when accelerate. Only RPM meter rise but the not moving. After a few minute the car can start and move about a few kilometer and it happen again. Whats the problem? Tq
I got a blower motor issue as it only works on the 4th setting, its super common and i replaced the resistor and that fixed it but only temporarily, next night after fixing numerous other issues it went back to only working on 4 again, any insight would be much appreciated!
The resistor failed for the 3rd time in my 2018 Fiesta. The last one lasted less than a year. I'm starting to think there might be an issue somewhere else.
have a fiest st didnt have single one these issues what did have charcoal filter ... the slave cylider ... blown turbo.... two seized calipers over many other little things 90k mils in 5 i bought it brand new ive spent more on reapirs for the fist then did on my m3 or cayman s
I have a 2013 Ford Fiesta and it has been giving me problems for the last month. I already changed the MAF sensor and the throttle body and it still gives me problems. It loses power and won't accelerate more than 40 mph.

2011 fiesta dual clutch transmission went at 100k kms no transmission all the transmission shops said get rid of it those are the worst transmissions ever.
My car has low power and makes a buzzing noise at low RPMs with 10-40% throttle. And it only is a problem with warm air. After a long driving session it occasionally has a rough idle. Couldn’t find a vacuum leak so maybe it’s the throttle or fuel pump. Edit: Yes I had the DCT replaced. Edit: When I say warm air, I mean warm weather. It does get worse after I drive it a bit, but it can be it can happen immediately after start up and is almost nonexistent in weather under 78F.
I have a fiesta 2011, and got the TCM replaced at the dealership in Texas everything was ok, until 2 weeks ago I changed the engine air filter and now I have the check engine light that wont come off, the reader says its the MAF sensor but cleaned it and still turned off for 2 days and keeps on saying its the sensor, anyone had this problem?
From what ive seen online The blower motor is under the driver side, have to remove gas pedal assembly to get to it. Mine isnt blowing air of Any kind whatsoever, replaced Relay, Fuse and blower motor resistor, also new blend door actuator. Nothing happens. lol
I have got a flat tire on my ford fiesta 2013 hatchback SE. any idea how I take the wheel off? I think I have lost the key to it. The nuts arent coming off. I am fine with buying a new one but manual mentions no specifics or existence of wheel key. Please help!
Anyone have their AC start clicking/knocking where the diverter is under the dash? Mine still works fine, but it’ll click 20-30 times whenever I change the position. I’d like to know if there’s a fix for this.
my 2017 Mk7.5 1.0 ecoboost ran perfectly fine until it didn't™ and suddenly cracked a cyilinder... luckily engine got changed under warranty PS: always serviced at the dealer
Got 2011 ford fiesta ses mk6 no throttle response i've changed the throttle body, gas pump all four of the spark plugs cabin filter air filter, but still having a problem.Does anybody have the same issue that i'm running into
My 2019 could probably survive the Mad Max apocalypse. I drive like a grandpa but the car is fine with that and never has any issues. And I could park this sucker in a shoe box, has just the right size for carting the kid around for errands and its even got Android Auto.
This video is called, "Top 5 Problems Ford Fiesta Hatchback," and it doesn't mention the transmission problem that was so bad there was a recall. If you buy this car used, you will probably have to replace the transmission. You should have called this video, "five problems that cars often have," because it has nothing to do with the Ford Fiesta. It doesn't mention the door handle recall either. Is this Ford fluff?

How about the transmission issues ?

-after 9 years of having the car, both left door window switches failed and had to replace them. However its not that expensive

How ban you not mention the issues with the powershift transmission?!?
My fiesta had the biggest problem with water leaking into boot compartment trough some unvisible holes. I put silicone every where and changed gaskets under stoplights. Another problem coolant leakage from heatwater housing
The purge valve is common I replaced mine 2 years ago and just went out again code P1450. Used to work at Ford dealership and it was very common.
These are only reliable with the manual transmission
Why i got me an st. =)
Steering rack issues too are quite common no?
Getting stolen a lot is also quite a big issue.
I had a Ford FESTIVA. Got 200K miles out of it. Change the oil every 3K. Best car I ever had. Ran it into the ground.
Im in the middle of doing that to mine lol its such a fun car
@@caseyjones5145 Fast and drives like a go-cart!

transmission issues! mine was in and out of the shop. Same with my daughters automatic focus.
I’m surprised no mention of the DCT issues
Go manual or go without.
@@DashCamSerbia absolutely. I wouldn't have bought mine any other way
It drives poorly, but isn't any danger it is more a quality of drive issue
Exactly, my Fiesta's Powershift TCM died at 76k miles and now it has been off the road for two months lol
@@Kaizushiya have you fixed it ?
What is the lurching from a stop and accelerate. I had the tranny recall done. Still hesitates.
We own two manual gearbox fiesta circa 2017/18 1L ecoboost models. Both have needed gearbox bearings around 50-60,000 miles.
Question: at about what mileage or age do this problems come?
I am on my 4th blower motor resistor right now!😮
I never had other issues mentioned in the video!
I have a short to my radio I've replaced fuses and the sterio it still shorts out😖
