2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS LETTING MY TRUCK WARM UP BEFORE A HUNTING TRIP THAT MORNING, ICE ON WINDOWS SO TURNED ON REAR DEFROST, GOT IN TRUCK DROVE ROUGHLY 5MILES UP THE ROAD AND REAR DRIVER SECTION OF GLASS "EXPLODED" AND SPIDER WEBBED, REAR DEFROST WAS ON AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT.

GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT, JUST AS I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSECTION TRUCK LOST POWER AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD HARDLY MOVE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF AN APPROACHING SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER BEFORE HE WENT FLYING BY. I WAS TOLD LATER BY THE FORD DEALER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, THE SAME THROTTLE BODY THAT FORD REPLACED 1 YR AND 4 MONTHS EARLIER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT HE WAS AMAZED THAT FORD HAD NOT DONE A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE BODY, BECAUSE THEY CHANGE ROUGHLY A FEW EVERYDAY THAT HAVE FAILED, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES AFTER THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED, A LOUD BOOMING NOISE OCCURRED. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (WILLIAM MIZELL FORD, 330 US HIGHWAY 25, WAYNESBORO, GA) WERE NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. FROM DOING SOME RESEARCH, I UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS; AND OTHER MODEL YEAR, FORD F-150'S.

STEERING RETURN ABILITY, STEERING RACK. STEERING DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF AFTER TURNING MUST BE MANUALLY DONE.

REAR DEFROSTER ON POWER SLIDING REAR WINDOW BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING, WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. SUDDENLY THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE GLASS OF THE POWER SLIDING REAR WINDOW SPIDER WEB CRACKED AND SHATTERED. DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED AT THE TIME.

THE TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY SHIFTS DOWN TO 1ST WHILE DRIVING OR WILL SHIFT TO 5TH WHILE AT STOP LIGHT AND WILL BE HARD TO TAKE OFF FROM THE LIGHT. THE VERY FIRST TIME I HAD A WRENCH COME UP ON THE CLUSTER DISPLAY. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 DIFFERENT TIME SINCE NOVEMBER. WHEN IT SHIFTS TO FIRST ON ITS OWN IT IS WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN SHIFTING TO 5TH IT ALWAYS AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AROUND 6:30 AM 1/15/2019. I HAD TURNED ON REAR DEFROST WHILE I WAS WARMING UP MY TRUCK. I HEARD A LOUD SOUND AND A BURNING SMELL. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY DAMAGE WHEN I GOT TO WORK, HOWEVER IT WAS STILL PRIOR TO SUNRISE WHEN I GOT TO WORK. I LEFT WORK AROUND 510 PM AND NOTICE MY REAR SLIDING WINDOW WAS CRACKED ENTIRELY, BUT THE GLASS WAS STILL BEING HELD IN BY THE WINDOW TINT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS THAT THIS WOULD WARRANT A RECALL CAMPAIGN. I AM MAKING AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND CURRENTLY DONT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO SUBMIT.

DURING A STOP ON CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED ON DRY PAVEMENT FOR NO REASON BUT THEN LOST ALL BRAKING AND RAN INTO REAR OF A STOPPED VEHICLE.

2014 FORD F-150 STX 4 DOOR. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE AROUND 26,000 MILES. I REPORTED THE ISSUE WITH FORD, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHICH WENT FOR A 30 MILE JOY RIDE I GUESS TO TELL ME THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED. ABSOLUTELY ENRAGES ME HOW THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT CAN BE SOLD TO HARDWORKING INDIVIDUALS KNOWING THAT THERE'S AN ISSUE THAT PUTS LIVES AT RISK AND STILL DENY THE CLAIMS. THIS VEHICLE HAS ABSOLUTELY RUINED ME FROM DRIVING AND MAKES ME SICK EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHICH WAY THE TRUCK WILL GO WHILE DRIVING. DRIVING DOWN A ROAD IT TRAVELS FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER. IF YOU GET ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE WIND IS BLOWING YOU MAY AS WELL GET OFF AND GO ALL BACKROADS OR GET READY TO STROKE OUT BEFORE YOU GET TO WHERE YOUR GOING. I DON'T THINK ANYONE UNDERSTANDS THE STRESS ON A BODY OF TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY FIGHTING TO KEEP YOUR VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU MOVES IT PUSHES THE TRUCK THE OPPOSITE WAY, A CAR BESIDE YOU IT EITHER PULLS YOU TOWARD THEM OR BIG TRUCKS NEARLY BLOW YOU OFF THE ROAD LIKE YOUR IN A SMALL CAR.YOU CAN NEVER JUDGE HOW MUCH PRESSURE TO PUT ON THE WHEEL WHEN MAKING GRADUAL OR SUDDEN TURNS ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT'S NEVER THE SAME. ONE MINUTE YOU TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE AROUND TO MAKE A SMALL TURN AND THE NEXT TURN YOU BARELY TOUCH THE WHEEL AND IT MAY SEND YOU INTO THE NEXT LANE. I WAS TOLD BY FORD TO DRIVE WITH ONE FINGER ON THE WHEEL THAT THE EPAS NOTICES THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENTS AND THAT I'M COUNTERING WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. ABSOLUTE BS! I'M GLAD TO SEE I BOUGHT A 40,000$ POS AND THE ONLY THING FORD CAN DO IS GIVE A SMIRK WHEN I TAKE IT IN KNOWING GOOD AND WELL THEY HAVE AN ISSUE. HOW YOU DON'T HAVE A RECALL GOING PUZZLES ME AND SCARY TO THINK HOW MANY OTHERS ARE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS. JUNK
