2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BATTERY DISCHARGING . THE FORD DEALER AS CHANGED OUT THE BATTERY 3 TIMES & STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE . SOMETHING IN THE SYSTEM IS DRAINING THE BATTERY .THE DEALER HAS CHECKED IT AND STILL HAS NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM. IF THE TRUCK SITS FOR 2 TO 3 DAY WHEN I GO TO START IT THE DASH LIGHTS UP SAYING TURN POWER OFF TO SAVE BATTERY - SYSTEM OFF TO SAVE BATTERY. WE HAVE NO AFTER MARKET EQUIPMENT ON MY 2014 FORD F-150 5.0 MOTOR .

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO OIL CHANGE NEXT DAY I NOTICED SOME SMOKE FROM THE HOOD, I THINK, IS JUST SOME OIL SPILL SOMEWHERE AND IT IS ALL. BUT THE SMOKE KEEP APPEARING EVERY MORNING, I START USING THE HEAT AND THE SMELL OF OIL BURNING WAS INSIDE, SO I STOPPED AND CHECK WHAT IS GOING ON I DON'T SEE ANYTHING, SO I DECIDED TO TAKE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN CHECK WHAT IS GOING ON, BEFORE I MAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTS BLINKING AND THE TRUCK SHAKING WHEN I GET THERE I SPLAIN EVERYTHING TO THE GUYS, THEY CHECK EVERYTHING AND TELL ME THE TURBO HAS A LIKE. THEY SUPPORTED GETTING THE TRUCK FIXED ON NEXT WEEK, LET'S SEE HOW EVERYTHING TURNS.

I HAVE A 2014 FORD F-150 MOTOR 5.0 I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH ALL MY FAMILY ABOARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND 18 WHEELS SPEED CLOSE BY MY SIDE . THE TRUCK JUST SHUT DOWN ON ME WITHOUT NOTICE , ON THE DASH IT SHOWED I STILL HAD 45 MILES BEFORE EMPTY AND THE LIGHT FOR THE GAS NEVER WENT ON . I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY HAVE TO SEND A TOW TRUCK TO PICK US AND LEFT US AT A DEALER NEAREST TO WHERE THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN . WE DID NOT HAVE ANY IDEA IF IT NEED OIL OR GAS MY DAUGHTER DROVE ABOUT 4 1/2 HRS TO GET TO US AS WE WAITED FOR AT A 24 RESTAURANT TILL SHE GOT TO US WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO TRY TO ADD GAS TO THE TRUCK AND TO OUR SURPRISE THE TRUCK STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY . I HEARD THERE IS A RECALL AT THIS TIME ON A FORD FOCUS THAT SO HAPPENED TO HAVE THE SAME PART & PROBLEM WE ENCOUNTERED . RELATED WITH THE GAS TANK

WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A LOUD POP. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED . DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING HIT IT.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AND IT WAS APPROX 40 DEGREES OUTSIDED. STARTED TRUCK USING REMOTE START, WHEN I INSERTED KEY INTO IGNITION AND TURNED VEHICLE ON TO DRIVE THERE WAS A LOUD BANG OR POP FROM THE REAR OF CAB. I GOT OUT OF VEHICLE TO LOOK AROUND AND FOUND REAR SLIDING WINDOW WAS SHATTERED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WITH NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING HITTING THE GLASS, OBVIOUSLY SINCE IT WAS IN A GARAGE. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS WEBSITES WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE HAPPENING ON 2010-2014 F150 TRUCKS. I THEN DROVE IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR REAPAIRS/REPLACEMENT. THEY CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW OR WHY IT HAPPENED, AGREED THAT IT WAS OBVIOUS NOTHING STRUCK THE WINDOW CAUSING IT TO SHATTER. THEY'VE ALSO INFORMED ME FORD IS NOT WILLING TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY? I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY VEHICLES HAVE TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS IDENTICAL ISSUE BEFORE A RECALL OR TSB IS ISSUED? THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH FORD'S REAR WINDOWS AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM IF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, INJURING CHILDREN IN BACK SEAT, ETC.. IT'S BEEN A WEEK NOW AND I'M STILL GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM FORD.

I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND THE LUG WRENCH PROVIDED FROM THE FACTORY WILL NOT GO ONTO THE LUG NUTS. I WAS ON THE ROAD SIDE WITH NO WAY TO CHANGE THE TIRE.I HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME TO GET MY OWN TOOLS AND HAMMER A SOCKET ONTO THE LUGNUTS TO REMOVE THEM.LOOKING ONLINE FORD IS BEING SUED OVER SWOLLEN LUG NUTS THE DEFECT BEING THEY ARE TWO PIECES AND THEY CORRODE AND SWELL. THE LUG WRENCH SUPPLIED ONLY STRIPS THE OUTER PIECE MAKING THE LUGS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE.I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT AS TOU CAN BE STRANDED IN AN UNSAFE AREA FOR HOURS IF YOU HAVE A FLAT.

THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS IN ALL FOUR DOORS HAVE FAILED WITHIN A PERIOD OF TWO MONTHS. WHEN THE ACTUATORS FAILS, THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER LOCK/UNLOCK WITH KEYLESS REMOTE OR BY USING THE INSIDE BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. ONLY THE DRIVER DOOR HAS A KEY HOLE, SO WHEN THE OTHER RDOOR ARE NOT WORKING, THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR IS FROM THE INSIDE. OCCASIONALLY WHILE THE DOOR ACTUATORS IS NOT WORKING, THE DOOR IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE AS IF THE LOCK IS DIFFICULT TO UNLOCK. THE ONLY REPAIR TO FIX THE ACTUATORS IS BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM. I WORRY THE DOOR WOULD BECOME INOPERABLE AND UNABLE TO OPEN SOMEONE COULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE. ANOTHER CONCERN IS VEHICLE THEFT DUE TO THE DOOR NOT LOOKING AS ASSUMED WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON.

TAKITA RECALL: PASSENGER SEAT WHEN OCCUPIED SHOWS OFF; SOMETIMES IT SHOWS ON.. THIS IS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IN CITY OR ON HIGHWAY.

REAR SLIDER WINDOW IS THE ISSUE. AFTER STARTING MY TRUCK, WHILE SITTING INSIDE I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST. WITHIN MINUTES WHILE SITTING STATIONARY THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW PANE SHATTERED. VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT FORD WILL NOT COVER. THIS IMPEDES MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD CAUSE A DRIVER TO STARTLE AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT.
