2011 Ford Fiesta Exterior lighting Problems

“My headlights keep going out and I keep changes the fuses. It lasts for about a month, then happens again. It's the fuse box. If canada can have a recall on this, because you need headlights to drive, it's a safety issue. Why can't the united states recall these cars and fix them. What's the difference. Canada cares more about there people's safety then the united states. Is that right. I was driving the car. It happened yesterday february 9, 2021.”

“Recently my dash lights went out as well as my tail lights. Upon checking the fuse box located under the hood, I found it filled with sand and other foreign materials. Furthermore, all of the fuses were corroded and when I tried to remove them, they broke, thus I was unable to replace them. It is apparent that this is a design flaw with this equipment as the box does not properly seal even though it is exposed to the elements underneath the hood. After researching further, I discovered this is a very common problem among 2011 Ford Fiesta owners and that the repair for this is very costly. …”

“Car shudders excessively on acceleration. Will also lurch forward during acceleration. Grinding noises when car is on low speed (1-20 MPH). Rear taillights stopped working without warning.”

“Interior lighting stopped working. Rear lights stopped working and then front lights stopped working. There is a known recall on this, but Ford states it doesn’t include my VIN. However, when you go to the recall it shows the exact same issue with corrosion in the fuse junction box. Bill Estes Ford diagnosed it as corrosion of fuses in that box. Ford won’t work with me even though this is a known issue with 2011,2012,2013 Fiesta’s.I was almost rear ended not knowing my rear lights were not working in the dark.”

“The low beam headlights do not turn on, all the other lights work as normal including the high beams. The fuses have not blown and there are no warning lamps or messages. This is a known problem with this make and model, there is a recall in Canada for this issue. The safety of others is put at extreme risk in any kind of low light condition (fog, rain, etc.) As well as my own safety by not being able to see in front of me. It is illegal to drive with high beams on in residential areas so I am just unable to drive at night. The vehicle has not been inspected yet. …”
