2019 FORD FIESTA — Complaint #2172521
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION filed February 2, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2172521 (ODI reference 11715078) concerns a 2019 FORD FIESTA and was filed on February 2, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 17, 2025. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention, 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 back over prevention 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 2019 FORD FIESTA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
See attached document for complaint. am writing to file a complaint regarding Recall 25SA9 (NHTSA Recall 25V695) affecting my vehicle, a Ford (please confirm make/model ~~based on VIN if needed~~) The recall states the rearview camera may display a blank or distorted image when in reverse, posing a crash risk. I received the recall notice over a month ago, but the dealership has no parts available for the repair, and despite multiple contacts with the dealership and Ford's recall department, I've been unable to get a resolution. This is causing significant safety concerns and inconvenience. Specifically, I: Have not been offered a loaner vehicle. Have been told no parts are available with no clear timeline. Feel unsafe driving in reverse and am taking extra precautions. I request NHTSA's assistance in escalating this matter to ensure a timely fix and consider compensation for the inconvenience. I've documented all interactions with the dealership and Ford. Thank you for your at
