2014 FORD FIESTA — Complaint #1942867

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION filed November 13, 2023

NHTSA complaint #1942867 (ODI reference 11554975) concerns a 2014 FORD FIESTA and was filed on November 13, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 8, 2023. The report was geocoded to Kansas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:manual transmission, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD FIESTA cohort independently describe similar power train:manual transmission failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 FORD FIESTA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

This car has a standard transmission and a hydraulic clutch. The synchronizer for low gear lets it pop back out of gear. This is extremely dangerous if you are pulling out into a busy lane of traffic. It throws the shift lever back out of gear with a lot of force. I have had the hydraulics bled but plan to take it to a dealer soon. There are others listed on YouTube as having the same problem.
