2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN GETTING OFF INTERSTATE I-85 AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AFTERWARDS. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED BY DOWNSHIFTING IT TO LOW, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. FORD DETERMINED IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER AND THEY NEED REPLACED BUT THOSE PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED FOR BETWEEN 2 & 12 WEEKS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT FORD IS REPLACING THESE PARTS ON NEW F150S AND THAT IS WHY THE LONG BACK ORDER.

WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM VACATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DROPPED DOWN ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK LOST CONTROL AND WENT INTO A GUARD RAIL, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK CAME AROUND AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO FLIP. ONCE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP THEY HAD TO CUT THE ROOF OFF AND WINDSHIELD TO GET US OUT. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL AND MY SON FOLLOWED WITH THE SHERIFF AND OUR DOG. THERE IS NO EXPLAINATION TO WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE CAME OFF WITH ONLY A FEW MARKS AND FULLY INTACT. THE MYSTERY TO EVERYONE IS WHY IS THERE ONLY HALF A RIM??? THE RIM WAS OFF THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH THE TIRE BEING OFF THE RIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE SHERIFF LOOKED ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE TO NOT FIND THE OTHER HALF THE RIM. THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY LOOKED TO SEE IF THE HALF RIM WAS THERE BUT CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. THE TRUCK AT THE MOMENT IS AT BULL DOG TOWING IN SOUTH CAROLINA (803)865-3800. THE CLAIM IS BEING HANDLED BY HANOVER INSUARANCE - [XXX] - 1-800-628-0250 EXT. [XXX] - CLAIM # - [XXX]. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS CONSIDERING I HAVE FOUND THAT FORD HAS AN ISSUE WITH THERE 2014 FORD EDGE WHEELS BUSTING IN HALF AND THE VEHICLES WRECKING. ACCORDING TO THE ARTICAL YOUR OFFICE IS HANDLING THIS INVESTIGATION OF THE EDGE. I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT VEHICLES BUT STILL THE SAME MANUFACTURER & IF THERE IS A DEFFECT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT. I HAVE TONS OF PICTURES IF NEEDED PLEASE REQUEST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

WHEN GOING THROUGH PARK, PROCEEDING 20 MPH GOING INTO A DOWNWARD CURVING TO LEFT, C FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, THEN CAME TO INCLINE, WHEEL WAS NOT WANTING TO STRAIGHTEN UP, CONTINUED TO PROCEED UP HILL; BUT STEERING WOULD NOT STOP STEERING TOTHE LEFT. THE ONLY WAY WAS TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP IN THE CENTER OF ROAD, BEARING MORE IN THE ONCOMING LANE; WAS HIT OR CAUSED TO BE HIT, BY A FORD FOCUS, LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE TO LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE. FLORTUNATELY FOR FOCUS, MY VEHICLE WAS A A COMPLETE STOP, AS UNABLE STRAIGHTEN WHEEL. VEHICLE NOT DRIVEABLE, HAD TO TOW BOTH VEHICLES, AND NOW BEING OUT TRANSPORTATION. THE 2014 WAS PURCHASED IN SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI, THE END OF MARCH; BUT NOT EVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS, AND ONLY HAVE HAD VEHICLE 1 1/2 MONTHS OR SO. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN FATAL FOR THE OTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED WITH FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. UPON A PERSONAL REFERRAL, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO CHECK IF THERE WAS FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL WITHIN IN THE CRANK CASE. THE PRESENCE OF FUEL WAS CONFIRMED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,200.

I WAS DRIVING HWY 290 IN HOUSTON, TX THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN AN ADDITIONAL 4 TO 6 MILES I LOST ALL MY BRAKES. LUCKY I DIDN'T PANIC AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULL INTO A STRIP CENTER AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT EVEN STOP WHEN TRUCK WAS IDLING. I HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKES FAIL ESPECIALLY WITH A NEW TRUCK. I AM STILL LEARY ABOUT DRIVING A TRUCK WHOSE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET THAT FEELING OUT OF MY HEAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND PUSHED ALL THE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SPOKE WITH A LADY NAMED [XXX]. SHE SAID SHE WAS SORRY BUT PARTS FAIL AND THEY COULD NOT EVEN ISSUE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TRUCK. SHE DID OFFER A SERVICE PLAN FOR THE TRUCK. BUT I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR FREE I JUST WANT MY TRUCK COVERED AND FEEL SAFE IT IN WITH MY FAMILY. I AM VERY LUCKY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND DIDN'T WRECK OR HAVE MY SON IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD IN A MORE CONCERNING MANNER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AS I ACCELERATE, THE TRUCK SEEMS TO GOING INTO NEUTRAL FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS. THEN IT REENGAGES AND JERKS VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, THEY REPROGRAMMED IT BUT DIDN'T REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS LAST TIME, THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO PICK UP M TRUCK BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING. ANOTHER TECHNICIAN STATED IT WAS THE ECO-BOOST BUT THAT FORD WAS SIDE STEPPING THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS CHANGING LANES ON INTERSTATE 10 AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DURING STARTS FROM A STOP TRUCK WILL NOT HAVE ANY THROTTLE RESPONSE. PUSH THE ACCELERATOR MORE TRUCK CATCHES UP AFTER ACCELERATOR IS MID WAY HALF THROTTLE. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T DUPLICATE, RESET THROTTLE MEMORY WITHOUT ANY CHANGE AS OF 04/22/2015. *TR

WINDSHIELD GLARE REFLECTION FROM DASH COMPROMISES VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT. SUNLIGHT REFLECTS OFF DASH CAUSING GLARE IN WINDSHIELD. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED (FORUMS ONLINE) THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND OCCURS IN MANY VEHICLES. AUTO MANUFACTURES NEED TO PUT EXTREMELY NON-REFLECTIVE MATERIAL ON DASHES TO COUNTER THIS. A DULL DASH MAT REALLY HELPS, PROVING THAT IT CAN BE MITIGATED. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG WIRE HARNESS TOO SHORT. WHEN BACK OF SEAT WAS MOVED FORWARD WIRES BROKE. FORD DEALER TRIED TO SAY IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR, BUT INFACT THERE WAS NO SLACK ON WIRES TO MOVE WITH SEAT. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE. MY REAR PASSAGE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF OTHER DAMAGE TO INDICATE ANYTHING OTHER THAN DEFECTIVE GLASS. *TR
