When do purshase the car the speaker on r side had alot of static and when i would drive the wheels seem to wobble,and felt ver in safe to drive. When i was to take car in the covid came and closed everything down. When service department open i took car in and explained what was wrong so they replaced the speaker and said the r side under wheels were really bad and it needed to be fixed. I didn't remember to let service know about the inside parts that was broke and missing. Then they had to close again. Once i was able to get oil change and wheels rotate it i managed to talk to the sales agent and explain to him what was going on and he told me to bring my car in to see how much it would be and he would give me his discount price. This stuff was damaged before i even purchased the car so i don't think i should have to pay for anything. Now something up under my car is making sounds when i break and i don't think it's the brake pads or the shoes because i know that sound and it has to be something else. I have had problems with this car since i purchased it and even before taking it off the lot and because of the covid-19 it's been very hard to get back and forth to get things taken care of i'm afraid to drive my car now because when i let off the gas and get ready to go into the break it sounds very strange. I personally think that this car had a lot of damages could have been in a crash prior to me purchasing the car and it's just not safe. I haven't had the car a year and when i purchased a car it was 38,437 and now my car is 40,000 i will try to get this fixed before i drive it and put myself and my grandkids in danger.

The electrical system shut down completely on the 2018 ford fiesta. No power, no engine, no lights, no electrical component functioned. No hazard flashers in rush hour traffic at the intersection of an interstate highway and a state highway. The car coasted and i steered it between lanes to as safe a spot as i could reach. The situation was dangerous with a high potential for harm. Fortunately no one was hurt and no accidents resulted. After a two week repair on a new car i had owned for only two weeks the cause was found to be a broken cable connector under the battery.
