Hey Fam, so I originally bought a used 2017 Fiesta St with 23,000 on it back in November 2018. Gave her a pretty good test run, made sure everything was working properly and went for it. She's been a great car so far EXCEPT the overheating. It didn't start until the weather started getting hotter here in Texas. At first it started in no more than 85°f with the A/C on in stop and go traffic. I noticed from having no boost whatsoever and was 1 square from overheating completely, and without any warning. No lights came on giving me the heads up, and the fan was doing it's job too. So I gave it a rest and was completely fine after that. It's been happening to me here and there but I don't want to be paying for a car that isn't gonna everything I need it to. I love my ST, but I hate the problems!!!
What's worse is that I've taken it to 2 different dealerships a total of 3 times to see if either of them could find the issue. The first dealership was a waste if my time. The second dealership actually saw the overheating got themselves the next day after dropping it off, and assured me that they would get to the bottom of it, but apparently Ford knows about the issue and that there's really nothing that they can do about it???? I've done what anyone would've done and got a coolant flush done to it, and thermostat is working properly. Fans as well.
I've read a ton of other forums about the same issue. I've even looked into the recall for the overheating on the Fiesta, my particular Vin/car wasn't selected for any recall so even they were puzzled. If anyone can pass my some advise to hello get rid of this overheating issues, that would be great.
I'm looking into doing the lemon law process but if I don't have to then even better for me!!
Thanks a bunch!!
