2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

PULLED THE TRUCK OUT OF THE GARAGE TO WARM UP. IT WAS ABOUT 35 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. AND WHEN I GOT OUT INTO THE COLD AIR, THE REAR CAB WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO IMPACT FROM ANYTHING, JUST SIMPLY THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE WAS ENOUGH TO SHATTER THE GLASS.

4 YEAR OLD TRUCK PASSENGER DOOR AND REAR DRIVER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. YOU CAN PULL THE DRIVER SIDE KNOB UP AFTER YOU ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN WHICH IS LUDACRIS IN MY BOOK I HAVE TO SMALL CHILDREN AND IF WE WERE HAPPEN TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO BUST THE WINDOW OUT IF IT WAS SERIOUS. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF THIS VEHICLE WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND THEY STOPPED WORKIN BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE 4 YEARS OLD FORD SHOULD REPLACE WHAT EVER IS WRONG...... I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL YEAR AND OTHER FORD F150 DOOR ISSUES SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.... THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

AT 61,000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY MASTER CYLINDER SUFFERED A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE (TOTAL BRAKE FLUID LEAK). THIS RESULTED IN REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM AT DEALERSHIP.

WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55-70MPH) AND CITY SPEED (20-35MPH)THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND/OR HESITATED UPON ACCELERATION SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 3 DAYS THE MIDDLE OF MAY 2018. AFTER DIAGNOSIS BY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT TIMING CHAIN ON THE ECOBOOST ENGINE WITH ONLY ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. ABOUT 5 DAYS AFTER TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT THE HESITATION RETURNED AND UPON DIAGNOSIS BY FORD DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE PHASERS WERE BAD. DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING IN 2011-2015 FORD F 150 ECOBOOST MODELS IN AMERICA AND CANADA FORD REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A DEFECT. WHILE MAYBE NOT DIRECTLY A SAFETY ISSUE I BELIEVE IT IS AS ONE OF THE FAILURES OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTAE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE PASSING A SEMI TRUCK AND POWER WAS LOST AND EVASIVE ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN TO AVOID A COLLISION DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN POWER FAILURE. CAN'T ARGUE WITH WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, IF THAT ISNT A SAFETY CONCERN FOR FORD OR THE NHTSA I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. DEFECTIVE SYSTEM FOR 2011-2015 FORD F150 ECOBOOSTS

POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ONLINE SEARCH POINTS TO POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY.
