2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS ON THE DOORS STOPPED WORKING ON THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRICAL AND COULD EVENTUALLY IMPACT ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS IN THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THERE WAS A SHORT ON ONE OF THE DOORS - THEY REPLACED THE BCM AND DRIVER REAR DOOR LATCH WHICH COST $900. AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD, WE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. RECENTLY, WE READ OF A RECALL ON 2015-2017 FORD F-150 TRUCKS RELATED TO POTENTIAL DOOR PROBLEMS ('FROZEN DOOR LATCH OR BENT OR KINKED ACTUATION CABLE') AND WERE WONDERING IF THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM WE EXPERIENCED WITH OUR 2014 MODEL.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT SUDDENLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS , LUCKILY I WAS GOING STRAIGHT. MILAGE 67,953

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH TRUCK NOT STARTING. TOOK TRUCK TO FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WILL NEED TO INSTALLL A FUEL PUMP FUSE RELOCATION KIT. I ASKED THE REASON WHY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS FUSE WILL CONTINUE TO SHORT OUT UNTIL THE KIT WAS INSTALLED. TRUCK IS THREE YEARS OLD AND FUSE LOCATION OR SOME PROBLEM EXISTS THAT WILL SHUT DOWN FUEL PUMP. NO RECALL AND NO WARRANTY? TRUCK WOULD NOT START FOR ME ABOUT 10 TO 15 DIFFERENT TIMES. I'M GLAD THE FUSE DID NOT SHORT OUT WHILE DRIVING. NO DAMAGE OTHER THEN MY TIME AND $330.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR "KIT" FROM FORD.

THE REAR DOOR LOCKS, LOCK SOMETIME AND DON'T OTHERS. IT NOW IS STARTING NOT TO UNLOCK AS WELL. IT IS BOTH OF THE REAR DOORS. WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO GET OUT THEY HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN FROM OUTSIDE. LET'S PRAY THAT THERE IS NOT AN EMERGECY AND MY KIDS HAVE TO GET AND THE WINDOW WANT COME DOWN.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER TURNING ON REAR DEFROST. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME.

DRIVING AT 55 MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL. TOUCHED BRAKE TO DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL AND PRESSED ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO PASS A SLOW VEHICLE WHEN PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ENGINE RACED. I HAD TO PRESS BRAKES WITH ALL MY MIGHT TO SLOW VEHICLE TO 45 MPH AND IT KEPT CLIMBING AND PEDAL WOULD NOT COME UP AND ENGINE SPEED WOULD NOT SLOW. PRESSED OFF BUTTON FOR CRUISE CONTROL AND NOTHING CHANGED. FINALLY AFTER 5 MILES HEARD A POP AND THE PEDAL CAME UP AND ENGINE SPEED DROPPED TO IDLE. COULD NOT STOP EARLIER AS 2 LANE HWY. WITH NO SHOULDER. GUARD RAIL AND RIVER ON RIGHT AND MOUNTAIN CLIFFS ON LEFT SIDE. BROUGHT TO DEALER WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG THEY STATED.

TRUCK IS A 2014 F150 5.0V8 WITH ~50K MILES. WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ~65MPH, BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I TEST THE BRAKES BY GENTLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT PEDAL CONTINUES WITH NO RESISTANCE NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. BRAKES ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AND WOULD HAVE ZERO ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I THROW ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND CUT TO THE SHOULDER AND HAVE TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS AS I WAS IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I POPPED THE HOOD AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR IS COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER INSPECTING ALL BRAKE LINES FRONT AND REAR AND CHECKING ALL BLEEDER SCREWS ARE CLOSED, NO VISUAL LEAKS ARE PRESENT. AS I WAS 100 MILES FROM HOME DRIVING MY WIFE AND CHILD HOME AT NIGHT, I HAD SOMEONE BRING ME SOME BRAKE FLUID TO TOP OFF THE RESERVOIR. AFTER FILLING THE RESERVOIR AND BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKES, BRAKES SEEM TO STAY TIGHT. I DRIVE ~10 MILES AND THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT FLASHES AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PULL OVER AGAIN AND NOTICE ZERO FLUID AGAIN. VISUALLY INSPECT ALL LINES, MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER, ETC., NO EVIDENCE OF LEAKS. TOP OFF THE RESERVOIR TO LIMP THE VEHICLE TO A SAFER LOCATION. NOTICE THE ENGINE STARTING TO SPUTTER AND FLUID COMPLETELY GONE IN ANOTHER ~10 MILES. OBVIOUSLY THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED AND IS LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER WHICH IS AFFECTING THE VACUUM IN THE BOOSTER. THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTONS LISTED IN SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S24/ NHTSA RECALL 16V-345, HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT COVER 5.0 V8 MOTORS ONLY 3.5L ECOBOOST DESPITE THE SAME BRAKE COMPONENTS BEING USED. SO FAR OVER A QUARTER MILLION TRUCKS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. APPARENTLY NEWER 2015/16 F150S ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILIAR ISSUES AS WELL EVIDENCE OF A LARGE DEFECT IN NEWER MODEL F150 BRAKING COMPONENTS.

MAIN WIRE HARNESS IS ROUTED OUTSIDE.OF THE FRAME RAILS. MUD IS PULLING THE WIRE HARNESS OFF OF THE VEHICLE.

TRUCKS PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR ERRORS ON DASH AND STATES TO REMOVE OBJECT FROM AROUND THE SEAT, THERE ARE NO OBJECTS. ALL RESEARCH INDICATES THE SEAT GAP IS NOT CORRECT AND CAUSES ERROR FROM IMPROPER ASSEMBLY. ERROR IS INTERMITTENT BUT PERSISTENT DISABLING THE PASS AIRBAG.
