2015 Ford Fiesta SE 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
2 of 5 people found this review helpful
I owned the Ford Fiesta 2015 SE for 5 years and its just terrible. Sure the gas mileage is not bad. I hate the plus and minus buttons on the shifter it causes the car to level off the ground about an inch or 2 and as well it is used for shifting in sport mode. The car is not good for long drives very bad lumbar support. When you accidentally press the + button going in reverse the car levels off the ground and it can sometimes ruin the view when your trying to parallel park it create a blind spot which isn't recommended for someone that is short its very annoying. Sync and Bluetooth decided to stop working at the end of warranty. I don't know if this happened to other owners but I thought that was fishy. Maybe I got my car from a shady ford dealership. I had other experiences with this car that the car had a lot of defects in it that affected the car such as abs light or leaky struts. I could go on and on I really did not enjoy owning this car after the first year.

I really liked the Fiesta! Deliberated for months on whether to pirchase or not, but couldn't commit to it due to the extremely limited size of the rear seats, automatic transmission quality (whether real or perceived), and the general lack of space compared to the Honda Fit and Chevrolet Sonic. I ended up purchasing the Chevy, with the Turbo engine option, and have been very happy with it.

2015 Ford Fiesta Titanium 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

Peppy, fun to drive and reliable. Bought mine used from original owner who put 71,700 miles with nothing but regular servicing done throughout ownership. No problems at all. Plus, the car is comfortable and has more room than one would think. Maybe not so much in the back seat but the hatch area is roomy and the front seats are roomy. I love driving this car. I look for reasons to drive it ; ) But I don't want to put too many miles on it because car makers are doing away with the reliable and enjoyable manual transmissions in favor of the much less reliable and extremely expensive to replace CVT tranmissions (Continually Variable Transmission) under the guise of "better fuel efficiency" by about 2 or 3 miles per gallon. And after 50-100k miles (if you are lucky) the CVT will break and you will have to fork out $4000 to replace it. So much for the govt endorsed "fuel efficiency". Planned obsolescence at it's finest !! I want to drive this Fiesta 5 speed lightly and keep it for a VERY LONG time.
Please, please do not buy this car

I own a 2014 & a 2015 Ford Fiesta. I've so far made 5 complaints to the NHTSA. I would like to share my most recent experience with the 2015, pretty unbelievable: I am 100% Disabled, but work occassionally via SSA Ticket to Work program, making deliveries using my 2015 Ford Fiesta SE. 9.11.22 at 4:30AM delivering package in Waterford, MI, on North side of road. As I backed out of driveway, now facing East, and busy road, Hiller Rd. I had only just gotten in the car, with NO seatbelt on and was going to back up, buckle belt. Switched from Reverse to Drive, foot still on brake, car took off, as if I'd stomped on accelerator, but my foot was on brake still. Hitting brakes, I flew almost to Hiller Rd., brakes not working, car speeding, steering worked. Tried to slow down, was on South side of road, on people's lawns. Going so fast, I went into a ditch, then came up out of the ditch! Narrowly avoided mailboxes. Last house before Hiller Rd. on my right, at least 1/5 mile it was tearing down the road, tried to slow down in large lot next door to that house, didn't work. They have huge boulders along edge of grass, I not only slammed into a boulder, but they had chopped down trees too, laid them down along edge of grass with the boulders. Car went UP, against gravity, ONTO one of these trees, before hitting the boulder. If you can imagine, from hood to bumper, and further out each end, I was UP, on top of a tree, the bumpers dug into it, so the 4 tires were loose on each side, front hit boulder. Hadn't put on seatbelt yet, my head slammed into steering wheel, airbags didn't deploy again, $400 cell phone screen split, cracked. I hit my head so hard, it knocked me out, I'm not sure how long, seconds to minutes. Came to, was on a tree, tried to somehow dig car out, with flashlight and crowbar. Tow driver had to chop up tree I was on, pull back from boulder. Was stuck there for hours. Phone screen shattered, had to be replaced, pay $125 for a tow, hit head, bumpers, scratched, all b/c this Ford Fiesta. and here was my 4th complaint to NHTSA: 2.1.22 I bought 4 new tires from Costco. 2.3.22 I was delivering in a rural area, about 3:30PM. It had snowed. I had delivered to a farm, driving back to main road, but on the way, stopped to look at and take photo from car of some cute horses wearing coats. No one around, road pretty flat. As I then went to move forward, this is really bad, the road went UP and it was angled, the car again, took off, as in my other report. Luckily I had my seatbelt on. I believe I had just shifted to Drive, foot still on brake, and this car was like I had stomped down on the accelerator. Also luckily, I was not facing those horses! I couldn't believe it, car went flying UP this road, brakes not working, I could steer, it was taking me right towards a BUSY ROAD. My heart was pounding, going UP this angled road, should have stopped the momentum, it did not. I turned the steering wheel, hard, to the right. Somehow as the tracks in the snow showed, the car did go to the right, but it kept going, across the road I was on, to the left side, into a ditch and a bale of hay! This was about 1 house from that main, busy road. With new tires. 1st a FedEx driver saw what happened, asked about the tracks going to one side then the other. He tried to pull me out, but couldn't. Then a nice farmer and his gf stopped, he had a large 4-wheel drive, after an hour, even with shovels, we couldn't get out, he went back home, brought a 2nd truck, some ropes, they slowly dragged me out, away from hay stacks. They also noticed my basic S-curve, I couldn't stop, so I drove into the hay! This Ford did what it did before, took off with no pressure on the accelerator. It was stopped. I certainly didn't stomp down, I was braking and steering. I was stuck in freezing cold for 2+ hours. Then spent $325 on new brakes, rotors. and here is another NHTSA complaint, in case this happens to you: 1 year ago I spent over $1,000 fixing everything on this car, no one offered any info. about Recalls. At 21,000-23,000 miles only. I noticed some odd shuddering at low speeds. Like shaking, but only going slower. Then it did other things, seemed like maybe it was when parking or backing up. Car would switch to Neutral. On its own. Another: the car kept STARTING. I have a Remote Starter, I removed RS, still doing it. I'll find car running by itself. WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. I have 2 year old battery from Costco, under warranty. Last week, coming home, car LOST all power, nearby, able to glide into garage. Spent days checking, terminals, fuses, everything. Battery SHOULD be 12.5 amps, it was 3.5 amps. So could NOT be jump-started. Had towed to Costco, then Midas. $1,100 later got ride to pick up, start car, dashboard now has orange wrench, said: "Transmission Malfunction! Service Now!" Sunday, Midas closed, no choice but drive home, 10 miles. Dad drove me, stopped to eat, when came out after 2 hours, THE CAR WAS RUNNING! In the parking lot, ALL BY ITSELF! THE KEY WASN'T IN THE IGNITION! Key was in my purse way inside restaurant. It was SCARY. Then Shifting was messed up, on small hill, kick back, forth, not enough power. Don't drive stick shifts/manuals, but each gear was struggling. Also shaking, thought would stall. When home, car WOULDN'T TURN OFF! Removed key, CAR KEPT RUNNING - NO KEY! Online, see Recalls, transmission lawsuits, everything. Own TWO FORD FIESTA SE's, NEVER sent anything about. In press, Ford lies, say owners told. Called 5 local Ford dealerships, ALL playing game of "What recall?" "What transmission issues?" I have to pay $300+ have error codes run, IF recall, maybe they'll pay, "Probably Extended Warranty." What Extended Warranty? 2015 Ford Fiesta SE w/ 50,000 miles.
