2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

MY BACK WINDOW SHATTERED DO TO THE DEFROST OVER HEATING THE BACK WINDOW. WHILE PARKED AT MY OFFICE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IN MOTION WHEN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STUTTER AND LOSE POWER. THE ENGINE ICON STARTED FLASHING. THE ICON WENT AWAY SHORTLY AFTER THIS BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES IN REGARDS TO THE 3.5 ECOBOOST ENGINE DOING THIS.

I HAVE AN F150 SUPER CREW CAB WITH A POWER SLIDING WINDOW IN THE BACK THAT IS 3 SEPARATE PIECES OF GLASS. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WITH THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST ON, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW SUDDENLY SHATTERED (STAYED MOSTLY IN TACT BUT SPIDERWEBED THROUGHOUT). IT MADE A LOUD BANG LIKE THE SOUND OF SOMETHING FALLING ON THE ROOF OR A GUNSHOT. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS VERY APARENT THAT THIS WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE OF EITHER THE WINDOW OR THE REAR DEFROST OVERHEATING. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM IF MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN IN THE CARSEAT WHICH IS DIRECTLY UNDER IT SINCE SMALL PIECES OF GLASS DID COME OUT. THIS IS A 2014 MODEL WITH APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES. THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE IF YOU DO A WEB SEARCH FOR F150S RANGING FROM 2010 TO 2014.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN REAR DEFROSTER IS ON. THROWING SMALL SHARDS OF GLASS INTO VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WAS REMOTE STARTED (IN PARK AND UNOCCUPIED) AND WHILE WALKING TO THE VEHICLE HEARD A LOUD POP. WHEN GOT TO THE VEHICLE SAW REAR WINDSHIELD SECTION ON DRIVER'S SIDE HAS EXPLODED/SHATTERED. FROM THE ATTACHED PHOTOS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS NO IMPACT TO THE REAR WINDSHIELD. VEHICLE HAS 31K MILES AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS 35*.

WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN ANY ROAD THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY WILL STOP WORKING PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO A "LIMP HOME MODE." FORD HAS DONE A "CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03" FOR PREVIOUS VEHICLES TO THE TONE OF 1.6 MILLION VEHICLES. THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AT THIS POINT AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY 2014 FORD F-150 LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. MY ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT MY GAS PEDDLE WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS PASSING A SEMI TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY DASH BOARD HAD THE LITTLE WRENCH TURNED YELLOW. I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED AND VEHICLE RAN AGAIN LIKE NOTHING EVERY HAPPED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH SAID VEHICLE. MY TRUCK HAD 35,863 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS TOLD A VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY IT WOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE BUT PARTS ARE ALL ON BACK ORDER. I WAS ADVISED I COULD STILL OPERATE MY TRUCK UNTIL PARTS ARRIVED. TODAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND AGAIN MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER WITH ENGINE STILL RUNNING AGAIN. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO SHUT VEHICLE DOWN AND RESTART BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON. THIS TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TRYING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. *NOTE: I DID PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN CANADA WHILE WORKING IN CANADA FOR THE U.S. DEPT OF STATE SO THIS WILL BE A CANADIAN VIN

2014 F150 HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A LEAD FRAME MALFUNCTION BY A FORD DEALER. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR BY ITSELF AND INSTANTLY AND DANGEROUSLY SLOWED THE TRUCK TO 20 OR 30 MPH. HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN TRUCK OFF THEN RESTART TO REGAIN NORMAL CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. FOUND OUT THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS A LEAD FRAME RECALL FOR 2012 F 150S. WHY NOT 2014S? WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHY HAS THIS MODEL YEAR NOT BEEN RECALLED?

THE TRUCKS OVERHEATS AND IGNITION COILS FAIL. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS.THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO LOSE POWER AND LEAVES ME STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY BROKE DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW. FORD HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF OVER TEN IGNITION COILS FAILING AND MULTIPLE ENGINE OVER HEATINGS.
