2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

On September 7, 2024 at around 8 AM I was driving my 2014 Ford F150 3.5 L eco-boost and suddenly my brakes failed on me. I was driving and noticed that the low brake fluid light turned on and when I was coming to a stop, it was very difficult to stop the vehicle because I had to press my foot all the way down to the floor since I didn't feel any pressure when I pressed down on the brake. I made it to a parking lot where I put in a bottle of brake fluid, but then noticed that the fluid level went down after a few minutes. My vehicle would not retain the brake fluid and remained extremely difficult to come to a stop without putting myself and others at risk on the public roads. I entered my vehicles symptoms online and found vehicle recall "20S31", but on the Ford website, it says that my Vin is not covered by this recall. I believe that my vehicle should be covered by this recall because it has the exact same symptoms as others within the same years of production and also has the same engine type as the others that are covered by this recall.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted to first gear. The contact also stated that the transmission shifted to the incorrect gear while driving, causing the vehicle to fail to respond as needed. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was sluggish while driving with the power train warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V444000 (Power Train); however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the PCM had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

The brake booster failed. It is not available. The mechanic replaced it. Because the booster failed the engine was sucking the brake fluid into the intact. This caused the the brakes not to have fluid and the engine to lock up and the engine threw a rod threw the engine. The problem was diagnosed by a mechanic and parts replaced. A brand new brake master cylinder was installed and a new engine is being put in. No it has not. Yes a light came on that the engine was low on brake fluid when it happened.

there was a recall issued for the transmission downshifting to 1st gear while driving. Recall# 24S37. I have this issue and immediately scheduled the software update. they came to my home address and that did not resolve the issue. then i took the vehicle to Sunbury Motors in Sunbury, Pa and they ran a diagnostic and nothing showed. the truck is actively downshifting to 1st while driving. it has happened numerous times. they had me drive it 16 miles away to the nearest dealership. The dealership stated there is nothing more they can do. I called ford and they said "what do you want from us?!!!" ii would like my transmission fixed so that I can safely drive this vehicle.

I bought this truck 2 and a half years ago and from day one it has been nothing but trouble. I was sold a lemon I have spend God knows how much on this truck and now it sits in the yard with a cracked turbo, electrical issues and transmission problems that I've been told has been a problem along time and I'd have to agree. Within the first 3 months of owning the truck it was in the shop 3 or 4 times. I had all kinds of warranty's added to my loan that I wasn't aware of and I've tried having the issue handled but Ford dealership will not tdo anything about it. I still over over 20,000 dollars on this truck I don't know if you can help but if you can I'd greatly appreciate it. I've had numerous sensors replaced, cv joints replaced, a arms replaced, wheel bearings, catalytic converters, ball joints, brake calipers, brake lines, struts, purge valve, engine mount, fuel pump twice, and I'm sure there's more alot of this was in the first not even year.

Safety Recall Notice 2437 / NHTSA Recall 24V444 The transmission fails to stay in gear and downshifts into first gear while going 50-60mph. This safety recall is very unsafe unfixed. It’s hard to control while driving the vehicle and can cause the vehicle to crash/lose control. Was not completed by Simmons and Rockwell Ford Hornell NY 14843. They closed the recall claiming it was fixed. The truck is downshifting exactly how it states in the recall causing the back tires to lock up. This is a huge safety issue. The dealership is saying the recall was “fixed” but this truck has not been fixed. It is still downshifting exactly how it states in the recall. We spoke with ford and they refused to help us with advocating for our safety with our local dealership or even getting a second evaluation with another ford dealership. The ford representative even hung up on us instead of assisting us. My children ride in this truck with this safety recall. We need help advocating for us. This recall is very very serious but no one is taking it seriously. We cannot even get a technician to drive the truck to see how it downshifts. If their own technicians won’t get in this truck but they expect us to have our children in it? We need help. If a company such as ford is required to notify customers of these safety recalls but refuse to fix them or assist their customers with a resolution. There is a maintance light on but it does not read anything.

My Ford F 150 is a 2014 Eco Boost with 65,302 miles on it. I took it in for the recall and an oil change and the engine light was coming on intermittently. They said it had a timing chain issue. I have been buying Ford F 150's since 1980 and never had this issue. My extended warranty company denied the claim to repair the issue. The dealership said it would cost around $5,000 to repair. I checked the internet and saw some of the same vehicles with the same issue. I was wondering if this could be a manufacturer malfunction.

Sanderson Ford in Glendale has no ETA for the defect leadframe in my car. Right now I cant drive my car anymore because the check engine light came on with P0720 - speed sensor error code. When I entered the highway, my truck suddenly shifted from 3rd to 5th so I could not accelerate in a very busy intersection. This because the speed sensor failed. Sanderson Ford does not offer service soon because they dont have an eta for the leadframe. or a loaner vehicle until it can be fixed. What do I do now?
