![]() My car too got into a minor accident on Delhi - Gurgaon E-way. A Swift being driven by a drunk kid hit my car on left rear leaving the door dented and scratched. My car, in turn hit an Indigo which damaged my right rear. I got the car to Gurgaon Ford service and got an estimate of close to 30K. I have Zero depreciation thankfully which is going to take care of expenses. The emotional hurt is much more than physical. I will have to leave the car for a week in the workshop. Hope to get it back as good as new. | |

![]() You are lucky if you get your car in a week! I had to wait for 3 weeks, and thank God I had a Zero dep too. I just paid about 5K. At least this time, it was no fault of mine. I was waiting in a signal, when an Amaze lost control and rear ended me, making my hit the Maruti in front (despite hand brake!) Hope you get back your car soon, and continue to have fun with it! Ford seems to have some good personnel. You'll get back your car as good as new! | |

| ![]() I updated my sync today... followed the procedure pluged in the usb with only the downloded file. Selected install. After 20 min i got the msg on display that installation is complete. During installation i was told not to use any sync functions and the system will be rebooted to complete the installation. However when i turned on the system the radio was playing and the installation continued. I dont notice any specific changes to the sync system other than version 5.8 i am not getting any prompts for using voice commands. Please guide me if i have to change any settings or the right way to do it. Thankyou |

![]() If you notice in the above update release document, They haven't mentioned about drastic changes in the update. I hear the SYNC saying please use voice control and not manually adjust if you change the USB on the move. Other than that its only minor adjustments is what i believe Thanks | |

My car was delivered in July and is driven around 2500 km. 1st service already done. Within first month, I was driving from Mysore to Bangalore at around 80kmph during night in low visibility. I couldn't see a big speedbreaker that hit the car really bad. Immidiately after this, I notice sounds: plastic squeaks coming from dashboard - the center console gloss black area and the plastic panel just above the meter console, doors feel loose now and there is a sound from right extreme behind as if something is broken or loose. At good speeds, on an unfulation in road, something vibrates back there. I spotted two push buttons on either sides of the seat back. I could push the one on the left. When I push it in, it pops back up but the right one is stuck, I could push it forcibly but it didn't come back up on its own. Are these buttons supposed to release the seatback? If so, why do you think one of them is not working properly? I want to see what is there behind the seats, to figure out where is that sound coming from. Please help. I can't bear these sounds in my Fiesta. I had reported these in first service but they didn't fix any. | ||

Yeah those buttons release the seat back. Did you double check whether the rear seat belt is getting in the way of the seat? This usually prevents seat from fully locking and prevents the button to come up. You can push down both buttons and pull the seat foward and then push it back in. Usually you need to apply a little force to get the rear seat to lock. Thanks | |

| ![]() Hi all, From the time I updated the SYNC to version 5.8 my Shuffle option in the USB mode is not working. I remember it being functional before the update. Anybody noticed it this way? Quote:
+1 to chuckster's reply. press both the buttons and fold the seat forward, make sure all the seat belts and locks are out of the way. Check the buttons when the seat is not locked. Take help of another person and slam the seat back to position at the same time from both sides(with the other person's help), the button should pop back correctly Last edited by Self Driven : 10th October 2015 at 10:37. | |

This seems to be a common problem with the new Fiesta. I had gone for the pre delivery inspection of my friends fiesta and came across this problem in the brand new car. However, the AfSS corrected it promptly by following the method mentioned in the previous post and blamed the plastic cover for jamming in between the push button. Hope Ford looks into the matter. | |

| ![]() Do you guys feel that the Fiesta brakes are a bit spongy and inconsistent?. Just came back from 750+ Km trip and I have a bad feeling about brakes. There was one moment when the vehicle in front me stopped abruptly, I applied brakes, shed enough speed when I was just about to stop, the car is still moving forward, I stomped again in panic this time car stops. This is not the first time I am facing this issue. Earlier I ignored thinking that the pads and rotor need some time to bed in. Searched online and found this, http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/35863-fiesta-brake-problem-spongy-and-low-pedal/ . my case is exactly similar.

If you still feel the pedal is too soft, get the brakes bled before getting into part replacements. I own both Ecosport/Fiesta and brake modulation on both cars is different. Ecosport has a very grabby bite with sharp inputs but i love the modulation Fiesta's brake pedal provides, just perfect when entering a corner. | |

Before Fiesta, my 2008 Swift VXi was running on Brembo and bite will be instantaneous. Now, in the Fiesta, like I said, I do push little more. But then the best part is car handles the situation perfectly when braking and does not throw drama and panic like I used to face in the Swift By the way, what speed were you at before you started braking? | |

When we started braking, I was doing approx around 130+ kmph, the car infront of me was slow but had a very good distance between both of us and should have been an easy stop under normal circumstances. Last edited by linuxmanju : 12th October 2015 at 13:28. | |||||
