Ford Fiesta Issues

[vivafoxpro]

Kaya pala wala nang may post dito... i dont know if ive been driving slow ever since pero parang nahihinaan ako sa preno ng sport. may ilang beses na tingin ko babangga na ako sa kotse sa harap kasi mga biglang preno scenario pag nasa 60kph. Compared to a 96 civic and a gen 1 2001 CRV, i feel less certain about the braking capability.

After the first 2 "free" PMS when did you have to return the car to the casa? Yung last PMS ko was mga September sabi sa akin balik ko daw sa 1st year anniversary for next PMS nung service advisor at the time, tapos nung tinawagan ko nung Feb sabi sa akin ng service department April pa daw kasi wala pang 6 months since the last PMS. I would have thought the month would be based on purchase date not last time serviced.

It is 10,000 KM or 6 months "whichever comes first" and then the counter is reset to zero again for the months and KM.

Nung magpreno sarado ka Sir, umandar ba yung ABS? Makikita sa kalsada na broken line yung tire marks.

I never tested mine sayang pudpod ng tires and I have no training in high speed braking baka madisgrasya lang ako.

I trust my life and my family's life on the safety of the Fiesta. Balak nga bumili ni misis ng super economy / low cost car pero ako I kinda feel medyo tipid din sa safety gaya ng air bags at ABS.

Dahil naka Fiesta ka na rin, why not register sa Fordclubph?

Nasa 25K na sya.

I already replaced stabilizer link last month. Better have yours checked habang bago pa kasi hindi under warranty yun.

I suggest mag register ka sa Fordclubph. Free naman and registration dun. Halos nandun na tumatambay Fiesta owners.

How much stablink? Casa ba?

Nakapagregister na ako sa fcph bago pa ako mag ka fofi, basa mode din ako dun..

So far wala pa naman problem sa suspension overloaded nga ako kahapon going to calamba.. Bumaba yung likod pero sakto lng unlike sa vios pagpunuan nakita para sobrang bagsak bagsak talaga likod..

Taiwan branded replacement part. 4K+ including labor.

Hindi na ako nag-attempt sa casa. Surely mahal sya.

[vivafoxpro]

For those thinking of buying or already have a Fiesta but not yet aware, I just found out last night na wala palang included air filter or "pollen filter" yung Phil version.

In case interesado kayo, eto yung thread sa Fordclubph :

You decide kung para sa inyo deal breaker ba o hindi.

katok sound sa ilalim... recently lang..

and yung spare mags! na bangasan kasi ni gf yung mags nung na gutter sya pati tires may natuklap na part pero di naman na flat pero ampangit ng spare wheel!

wipers na may streaking kahit bago pa

nabaho yung sasakyan pag nabibilad sa araw

Nalilito si fofi. Di nya alam kung sport mode or economy mode :D. Yon mga high-end cars na automatic may buttons para ron. Baka may maisip si vivafoxpro na mod para ron.

WOW!!! very complicated pala ang FOFI. sobrang talino ang kotse na ito.

pero IMHO i do not have a FOFI pero dapat di dependent ang kotse sa driving habit/s kasi AFAIK wala namang storage or ganoon kalaking memory mga ECU ng kotse to store driving habit. beside wala din sya sa manual so the feature is not really existing.

Peace. TIA.

Sa lola ko very complicated yung cellphone kaya hindi sya marunong magtext. It doesn't follow that all cellphones are too complicated for everyone.

If done properly, a "user profile" or a record of a driver's driving habit is a great advantage. The car can "react" properly. Kung ang profile mo ay agressive, bigyan ka nya ng power, kung conservative naman, bigyan ka nya ng fuel economy.

Ako, I got the manual to get greater control. Fiesta offers both intelligent A/T at conventional M/T. Kung and buyer eh hindi kumbinsido sa kahit anu pang features, wala naman pumipilit na bumili sya di ba?

Kung ilalagay sa manual lahat ng aspects ng kahit anong kotse baka hindi na magkasya sa bahay natin yung manual.

Yung manual nung kotse mo ba sir nakalagay kung anong fuel/air mixture during 3000RPM at 30 degrees centigrade ambient temperature? Wala? Therefore wala palang fuel/air mixture and kotse mo. Hehehe...

Fish!

Wow haba.

di ko naman kailangan makumbinsi sa features idol. masyado na malayo yung A:F mixture pre.

Hindi lang ako agree na ang fiesta eh dapat idrive lang ng isang driver otherwise malilito yung kotse. hahahah. IMHO and AFAIK yung ecu is just reading the driving scenario in realtime to adjust the timing and etc based on the need of the driver when he push the accelerator (similar concept with vvti and vtec, etc and etc) pero hindi sya nakaistore na paghinataw ko ngayon yung auto eh ang profile pa din nya mamaya eh hataw mode.

Hehehe... talino mo sir, tapos ka siguro ng mechanical engineering at ang husay mo sa thermodynamics. hahahah pakigyan naman ako ng equation baka macompute ko manually.

- AFAIK pede mo hingin sa Toyota yan. Di ko lang sure ung tamang term pero natetest yan sa dymo or dyanamo.

peace. wag kang sarcastic para di ako sarcastic. nyahahah

boss ... pashare naman po ng reason for replacing your stabilizer link ... ung fiesta ko kc may lumalagutok din paminsanminsan

I apologize at di ko sinasadya na ma offend kayo kumpare

Napaisip mo tuloy ako at nagresearch ako sa internet kung meron nga memory ang Ford Fiesta MK7 na release dito sa Republic of the Philippines. It turns out na tama ka at walang article na available.

Unlike you, I believe it does keep a certain "record" of how the driver behaves. One evidence is the early experience of my co Fiesta owners with the A/T variant of "gear hunting". It was resolved by doing an "ECU reset" thru disengaging the battery for a while.

Sa mapurol kong utak, ang intindi ko dito meron syang memory na nabubura pag inalis ang baterya. Logical?

Although no article specifically pertains to Ford Fiesta MK7-PH regarding ECU reset, several do in other brands and models. Companies do copy what competitors have and again I may have falsely assumed that it would not be too difficult, nay, might be wise for Ford to copy this feature. It may even be possible Ford invented it.

Again, apologies... your earlier comments caught me at a bad time.

Peace brother. No ill intent we are just deliberating our opinions so that we can be factual and share a bit of our knowledge to fellow tsikoteers.

IMHO tama ka sir may memory chip yung focus sa ECU nya pero maliit lang ito masyado to store certain codes of the engine bases on different reacrion on its accelerator.

Say tinapakan mo ng todo, again im not sure pero sa VIOS at CiVic kasi ganoon eh, mag aadjust yung timings ng makina. Or magretard sya kung cruising speed or engine break. And of course certain functions of other features.

Pre appreciate your apology, im also in a bad mood sensya na boss.

Anyway para di OT, baka kaya nirereset ECU is to fresh en up the program di ba minsan kahit cp naghahang or etc kaya need I restart.

Likewsie bro. Marami akong natutunan dito sa tsikot kaya naman I try to payback in terms of helping others.

Researching further, me nabasa sin ako article na "myth" lang daw yung driver profile in the ECU. Kaso nga lang both nagsasabi ng meron learning process at dun sa nagsasabi ng wala eh hindi nagbigay ng reference man lang sa scientific study or article from a reputable magazine for example Topgear.

I always try to look at the bright side. The mere fact na meron ECU ang mga kotse natin, anong brand man sila, is a small miracle. What is important is we appreciate our rides and have confidence in them.

What I have heard is that coming technology will indeed have a "user profile". The way it is implemented is the computer chip that comes with our keys (present immobilizer feature) . Parents will give a different key to their teenage children. Because of this unique identifier, the car will not go over 50MPH despite any amount of pressure is put on the gas pedal. The sound system will also not go over a pre determined level.

Sa sobrang bilis ng technology malapit na nga siguro ang ganito.

[brainmafia_310]

Mismo bro, nauna na nga ung park assists ni ford di ba na sa pagtingin ko sa preview the driver just need to . button and the car will automatically park.

Pansin ko din all of the car nowadays are using electronic power steering which can be controlles by ecu now or in the future

Is this thread still alive?
I just bought my 2013 Fiesta last May. hatchback S. Everythings ok except that last 3 weeks ago I lost my master key and just last week my spare key's handle nasira din! I concluded manufacturing defect. The master key's notch is not solid all throughout (may awang sa gitna) kaya yung metallic ring which handles the key holder slipped through the small space in between! I just notice that all the rest of my keys were intact except my car key. We did an extrenous work kasi that day. Then I used the spare key. the last time I used it was when Im starting the engine. Pag pihit ko sa susi dumulas yung blade ng key and nagcrack yung handle! I just talked to the manager in Global City and said the keys are not included in the warranty. I asked them to replace it for free because of how they made their keys. Pero discount lang daw ang kaya nila on both keys. What are your thoughts? This seems to be an isolated issue.

If the price of the replacement "emergency key" is too much, it should not be too difficult to mold your own key "handle" using non-sag epoxy or steel epoxy (yung mukhang clay). You need to transfer the electronic chip inside the original handle since this chip interacts with the engine immobilizer.

Do a preliminary experiment first if the epoxy will not interfere with the chip, specially the steel one.

I termed it as "emergency key" because our regular key (the one with the keyless entry) is built for everyday use. The danger of it falling off a key ring was evident early on so I drilled a hole crosswise to avoid it falling off.



Of course, that is water under the bridge for you so I hope the epoxy suggestion will tide you over until a replacement regular key is available.

You might want to join Fordclubph, it is free.

Ford dealer found an oil leak in the transmission of my Fiesta. They said the leaked oil affected the clutch so they replaced it also. It's a serious safety issue baka magslide o masunog.

I read reports that Engine Oil leak happens in Ford Fiesta every 20kms or earlier. I noticed that problem because of the jerking and dragging, especially when uphill.

Do you have the same issues also? I already went to DTI to file a complaint. I need at least 2-3 consumers with the same issue. If you filed complaints already, please send me PM. Let's help each other. Thank you!

Same prob but mine is a focus mk3. The focus and the fiesta share the same transmission.

Hi, I'm currently using a 2014 Fiesta. Should I also expect this to happen to mine when it gets to 20k KM?

Heads up mga bro baka mangyari din sa inyo ito:



After car wash kahapon, basta na lang nalaglag yung rear Ford emblem. Upon further investigation, I found out that the glue used to attach the emblem to the black plastic oval (shown in the picture) is of poor quality. Parang natuyong tootpaste lang

Gaya din ng nasabi ko matagal na that our plate number represents the Republic of the Philippines and should not be drilled, dapat lang sana Ford gives greater importance to its logo/emblem. Swerte na lang at di nalaglag yung emblem in transit at nakaiwas na naman sa gastos.

Yung front emblem, I tried to pry it off using a knife and it seems matibay naman ang kapit. Baka iba yung supplier nung rear emblem.
