2011 Ford Fiesta structure problems

“I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta. The vehicle has a really serious issue relating to the fuse box that is mounted under the hood. This issue has a recall and I scheduled it for service at the Ford dealer in bryan, ohio. (Bryan Ford) I have issues with this vehicle that make it extremely unsafe for me and my family to drive. The headlights randomly go out while driving, both passenger and drivers side are affected by this. The doors will not lock and I have no horn now either, making us a target for car jacking. About a month before I found out there was a recall for this I hit a racoon and it knocked off the plastic wheel cover.

A 65 year old disabled operator was transporting her 6 year old granddaughter home from school when the malfunction took place. Two lives inside the vehicle were placed at risk as well as the lives of other drivers and passengers in the vicinity. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. Ford issued a 14MO2 warranty extension on this part. We brought the vehicle to Covert Ford of Hutto, TX who confirmed the warranty extension. However, they would not cover the repair, because the extension expired 3 months prior. Due to the COVID pandemic, the high risk elderly category of the driver, she did not seek repair earlier. Also, she is not the first owner of the pre-owned vehicle and did not receive any information regarding this warranty extension to seek repair. The vehicle and component has been inspected by Covert Ford of Hutto. The check engine light came on at…”

“THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT. THERE IS A DOOR LATCH RECALL ON MANY 2011 FIESTA'S BUT THIS CAR IS NOT LISTED AS AN AFFECTED VIN. THE TWO REAR DOORS WERE REPAIRED AROUND THE END OF 2018 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD JUST SAYS THAT IT IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR.”
