2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

This is our 2nd time reporting this back 4 years ago our vehicle downshifted suddenly. Causing our vehicle to drop speed tremendously. We called the dealership to let them know what happened and they said they have had several complaints at the time of these trucks doing this. It caused the rear tires to lock and slide. We ended up loosing control and running of the road and wrecking the truck and messing up the front. FORD HAS STILL NOT FIXED THIS VEHICLE

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from under the floorboards. The contact stated that there was a pop and then a whining sound before the transmission unexpectedly downshifted to either first or second gear. The contact stated there were no warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over and stopped the vehicle, and had the vehicle towed to the local dealer. The dealer refused to service the vehicle and the contact had the vehicle towed to a second dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was made aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V444000 (Power Train). The contact was informed that the recall repair was performed; however, the transmission had been damaged and needed to be replaced and was not covered under the recall. The contact had notified the manufacturer and was also informed that replacing the transmission was not covered under the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 168,000.

This truck only has 35,000 miles on it , so it's a baby! All of a sudden I get a warning light that says there is a problem with my anti lock breaking system. In the 10 years I have had this truck I have never even had the anti lock breaking system engage! The Ford dealership where I bought the truck said I had a DTC C1288. The DTC C1288 on a Ford F150 indicates a brake pressure transducer circuit failure. Specifically, it means the ABS module has detected a problem with the transducer, possibly due to a short or open circuit, where the pressure reading is too high when other inputs suggest a non-pressurized system. This often results in the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) light remaining illuminated. They said if I didn't pay them $3400 parts and labor, my breaks would stop working. This is crazy. The ABS system has never engaged yet they say it's broken. This is very dangerous. Most people don't have $3400 to flush down the toilet like I did. I should not have to pay for this repair. Ford should. The part was defective from day 1. Please help me.

We replaced the back up camera on 3/26/20. It was showing blank images and sometimes distorted images. Now the vehicle has 144,236 miles and the same issue is occurring. There are numerous year model recalls for this exact issue, yet the 2014 was not included. This will be the third back up camera. This is dangerous and should be recalled.

We are the original vehicle owners. The backup camera was replaced at a Ford Dealership on 3/26/20 because the screens were showing blank images and sometimes distorted images. at that time the mileage was 82564. Now the backup camera is doing the exact same thing, and the mileage is 144236. This is a safety issue backing up and can cause an accident. There have been recalls on most models but 2014 was not included. Ford has stated that the recalls are tied to the VIN., thus even though we paid Ford and replaced the camera in 2020, the camera is not covered although it is the same parts of model year VINS that were recalled. The 2014 should have been included in the recalls, as well as specific part recalls.

There is a serious issue with what Ford is doing to fix a known problem with their transmissions shifting into 1st gear while at highway speed. This happened to me after they put in their software "Patch" that was their idea of how to fix the problem. I have up loaded a detailed explanation of what happened to me with Ford and their safety recall. I also have any bills and cost to me to fix Ford's safety recall.

I was driving to work and when coming to the parking structure making a right hand turn my steering wheel locked up on me and on the dash Hill Descent Control Fault and Service AdvancedTrac came on the dash. I towed it home and the steering wheel is completely locked.
