2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

REAR DEFROSTER WORKED SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES NOT NOW IT STOPPED COMPLETELY AFRAID IT WILL START ON ITS OWN AND SHATTER MY WINDOW I HAVE MY TWO GRANDKIDS IN THE BACK EVERY DAY AFRAID THEY WILL BE HARMED IF IT SHATTERS OR CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE SHORT WHY NO RECALLS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK FAIL TO START SEVERAL TIMES I DISCOVERED IT WAS A "FUSE 27" ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK. THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT THAT THE FORD DEALER KNEW THE ISSUE BY NAME AS SOON AS I DESCRIBED IT. THE FUSE, LOCATED IN SLOT 27 OF THE MAIN FUSE PANEL WAS SEVERELY BURNED AND CHARRED FROM AN OVERLOAD ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE FUSE TO BURN IN ITS SOCKET INSTEAD OF TRIPPING LIKE A FUSE IS DESIGNED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD (TSB 15-0137) AND HUNDREDS, POSSIBLY THOUSANDS OF FORD F-150 VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD TO THE VEHICLE, OR COULD CAUSE LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FORD IS CHOOSING TO RELEASE A TSB AND A REPAIR KIT, AND CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO FIX THEIR FAULTY WIRING IN THEIR NEW VEHICLES INSTEAD OF A RECALL OR WARRANTY COVERAGE OF A KNOWN ISSUE THEY ARE NOT FIXING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE ON FORD'S PART. *TR

THE OPERATOR CALLED AND INFORMED US THAT THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. WHEN HE STOMPED DOWN ON THE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WENT FULL ACCELERATION AND STAYED THERE. HITTING THE BRAKES DIDN'T HELP. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON BUT NOT SET. HE TRIED PULLING UP ON THE PEDAL, TURNING OFF CRUISE AND KILLED TRUCK AND RESTARTED TO MAX ACCELERATION, KILLED THE ENGINE, RESTARTED AND IT RESET AND WENT TO WORKING. WE HAVE NO CODES, INSPECTED THROTTLE BODY AND CLEANED, INSPECTED WIRING AND APP OPERATION, OTHER THAN GRAPH SIGNALS WERE CHOPPY AND NOT FAIRLY SMOOTH (NO DIAGNOSIS).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD A STRONG VIBRATION WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TIME FRAME THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SUPPLY THE PARTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR CAME OFF HITTING THE CLOSED PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW... THERE WAS NO KNOWN OR VISIBLE SIGN OF DAMAGE TO THE MIRROR... IN FACT THE MIRROR LINKAGE WAS FOUND ON THE GROUND ALONG WITH THE MIRROR.. THE MIRROR JUST DISCONNECTED AND FLEW OFF.. A PERSON WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE.. THE LOUD UNEXPECTED BANG WHEN THE MIRROR HIT THE WINDOW SHOCKED THE PASSENGER AND CAUSED A NECK SPRAIN TO THE DRIVER. IF THE WINDOW HAD BEEN OPEN THE PASSENGER WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE FACE.. ALSO OTHERS IN THE VINCINITY OF THE TRUCK COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE FLYING MIRROR.. THIS TOOK PLACE ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET...

HAD A BRAKE FAILURE IN 08/2016. TOOK TO DEALER, BRAKE BOOSTER & MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS COVERED UNDER RECALL. WAS TOLD VEHICLE NEEDS TO RETURN TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER AGAIN WHEN REMANUFACTURED PART IS DEVELOPED. TALKED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 10/25/2016 AND THY ADVISED NEW PARTS ARE IN. ATTEMPTED TO MAKE APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD I WASN'T UNDER RECALL (ALTHOUGH I HAVE PAPERWORK). THEY THEN ADVISED ME THAT THEY INSTALLED REMANUFACTURED CYLINDER IN AUGUST (???). I CALLED MAIN FORD HEADQUARTERS TO EXPLAIN AND I ASKED HOW THEY WOULD HAVE HAD THE PART IN AUGUST IF IT WASN'T EVEN AVAILABLE UNTIL THE 4TH QUARTER OF '16 (BY THEIR ADMISSION ON THEIR WEBSITE). REP COULDN'T ANSWER AND SAID SHE WOULD CALL DEALERSHIP. WHEN SHE RETURNED, SHE ONLY STATED, "YES, YOU HAVE THE REMANUFACTURED MASTER CYLINDER". WHEN ASKED HOW SHE COULD ASSURE ME THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE CASE, SHE COULDN'T. I'M SCARED! MY WIFE HAD ONE FAILURE & SURE DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON ANOTHER. IS THERE ANYWAY THAT Y'ALL COULD GET INVOLVED TO ASSURE HER THIS WAS CORRECTLY REPAIRED? I'M THINKING THAT SINCE THEY DID PUT ANOTHER MC IN THE VEHICLE, I WAS REMOVED FROM THE RECALL. I DON'T THINK I'M ASKING MUCH. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU! *TR

WAS DRIVING ON C-470 WHEN I HEARD A LOUD GUNSHOT NOISE. DID A QUICK ASSESSMENT OF WINDSHIELD AND VEHICLE IN MIRRORS. HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND COME FROM THE SUNROOF. PULLED BACK VISOR AND THE SUNROOF WAS COMPLETELY SPIDER CRACKED. GOT HOME LOOKED AT THE SUNROOF FROM THE ROOF AT EYE LINE AND NOTICED A BULGE COMING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, LIKE TOO MUCH PRESSURE BUILT UP INSIDE THE TRUCK AND EXPLODED THROUGH THE SUNROOF. *TR
