Dave28 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had any intermittent faults with the steering wheel controls on the new fiesta? I have the zetec s 10 reg. Every now and again my left and right buttons sometimes dont respond when I want to switch music stations, music tracks etc. Not sure if this could be a software issue or a loose connection. I have been noticing this alot recently but the fault comes and goes so am not sure what it could be. Any advice on this would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodav2011 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 i have a 2009 titanium and my skip back button is really really stiff and needs a good hard push to be used unlike the rest of the buttons are nice and easy no probs on my cruise control side ether.

White_ZS_TDCI Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 i have this exact same problem. The controls on the actual stereo still work when i have this problem. it is just every now and again the skip track buttons dont work. i don't see why it could be a software issue if the skip buttons on the stereo still work. Anyone had this fixed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave28 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah the controls on the stereo work fine with me to. I did book my car in a couple of months ago to get this checked but the technician could not replicate the issue as it is intermittent. They did tell me to book it back in so they could look into it further. I just have not got the time at the moment with work etc.. Would be interesting to know if this is a common problem.

ianmarwell Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Got the same problem on my 2012 Zetec S. Control works when it wants. Multiple button pressing then it eventually fires into life. Should have asked the dealer to look at it last month when it was in for its second service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed12 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hello fiesta side of the world! ;) My focus is doing the same :( Up doesn't always function and sometimes down also does up!!! Pulled up to some lights, went to put my music down and it rocketed in volume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4RC Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Exact same problem, it just comes and goes. Mines is also zetec s 10 plate. I would put it down to a software gailt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Had same problem on my last mondeo. Just put it down to dodgy electrics. My last and current Fiesta's are working fine. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomroscoe Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Had the same problem on my 13 plate Fiesta Zetec and now I've already noticed it on my 14 plate, and only had the car a week. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmarwell Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Dealer just replaced button under warranty.....finally works :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I think they have improved the buttons on the newer Fiestas, at least in by experience. On my 09 Titanium I had to press the cruise control on button quite firmly to make sure it came on. There were so many times when I thought it was on, then I get up to speed and try to set cruise on, and start slowing down lol, just cos the button didn't work. No such problem on the new ST.

MrKnoe Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I get this alot on my 2013 Eco ZS I found that if you press the middle voice activation button then just press the skip track button after the sync woman is talking it un-glitches and works. Hope this helps Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryll Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Had the same problem on my 13 plate Fiesta Zetec and now I've already noticed it on my 14 plate, and only had the car a week. Sigh.

That should be covered by the warranty, so don't let them charge you for it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff4155 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Mine did the same thing, but before I could take it in, the problem stopped just hope this doesn't happen again once the car is out of warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radhadee Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've a 2011 and it worked then didn't.....now there's nothing at all..... Don't want to take fords as may be expensive.

I'm more concerned that my cig lighter is dead for powering my sat nav If you can find a good independent garage they might be a lot cheaper than Ford. As for the cig lighter, that could just be a blown fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deno3 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Just wondering if any of you with the problem have sprayed the steering wheel with any kind of cleaner and it's got in the buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joylonwagg Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Had an Autodab fitted by a Ford dealer. All steering wheel controls work OK on DAB. When on FM/CD skip back button does not work (does on head unit). Thoughts anyone? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winemart2 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 My + & - volume buttons are intermittent also. I can start the car and all works fine, I can start it again and the - vol doesn't work. Next start and the + vol doesn't work etc. This is progress? I'm damn sure this hits a dealership before 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 ^ I think the steering wheel buttons are just cheaply made. One of my volume buttons has started clicking after I press it, so wouldn't be surprised if it stops working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Joylonwagg, Are you turning autodab off and getting voice conformation of that, then try the buttons your having trouble with, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
