Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 Fiesta
The 2011 Ford Fiesta SE is a moderately easy car to repair, but it may be better suited for those more experienced in vehicular maintenance. The oil dipstick is easy to access in the front of the engine bay. The spare tire and jack kit can be found together in the trunk, and the jack is easy to set up and operate. The battery has hassle-free access, with the bracket sitting right on top and proving simple to remove.
However, the 2011 Ford Fiesta SE does have its downsides. The cabin air filter is located in an unusual location in the footwell, and access to it can prove to be cramped and convoluted. Removing the headlights require the removal of multiple fasteners, the grille, and the bulb housing itself. The center brake light also requires the removal of many parts, which in this case are small and tedious to handle.
