2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

I have had the 24S37 recall applied to my truck it was a software update, after the update it was ok for about a month then the problem became worse than it was before the software update. My truck is now downshifting and locking up the rear wheels and dose not shift sometimes and skips gears. This problem is getting worse everyday. I talked to the Ford dealership by my house and they told me I needed to buy a new transmission from them and there was no remedy for my problem other than the new transmission. I noticed the are recalling the 2015 trucks with the same transmission problem. Will my truck be added to the recall ? I have the same transmission

My 2014 Ford F150 truck went into “limp mode” last week. A wrench showed up on my dashboard, my speedometer didn’t function, and it sounded like the transmission was “winding up” if I tried to accelerate. After hitting “ok” to remove the wrench and restarting the truck a couple of times, my check engine light illuminated. I was driving at about 40 MPH when this occurred and it was a scary moment. Luckily I was able to keep my truck under control and drove very slowly back home considering I was less than 4 miles from my home. The truck went into a Ford dealership in 2024 for the “transmission recall” in which the only thing I noticed different was that I couldn’t see the digital shifting of the transmission on the screen anymore and they “killed” my battery. I still had issues every so often with power loss or the transmission shifting down abruptly, but it wouldn’t throw a code. Last week it threw a code. P0720 to be exact, the reason for the transmission recall in the first place. There was no fix done with the recall and it made it so that I had to watch my RPM’s to track my transmission shifting. This is extremely concerning especially since I was having the issues prior to a computer reprogram and it wasn’t addressed. I have also seen that there’s yet another Ford transmission recall that could affect my truck considering it was assembled in June 2014 and fits the transmission 6R80 that needs fixed. Could someone please help? Thank you.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly downshifted. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure persisted, and the transmission felt sluggish. The vehicle was driven back to the residence. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V444000 (POWER TRAIN); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.

I was driving and my brakes gave out a bit and my brake pedal was hard to press down and when I pressed down there was a grinding sound. Also a red warning message said check braking system. Has been confirmed for 3.5L EcoBoost engines, which is what I have.

Complaint Description: Unintended Transmission Downshift Vehicle: 2014 Ford F-150 Issue: Intermittent Transmission Malfunction / Severe Unintended Downshifting Detailed Symptoms: Sudden Downshifting: While traveling at cruising speeds (typically in 4th or 5th gear), the vehicle occasionally performs an uncommanded downshift directly into 1st gear without driver input. Start-up Stalling: The vehicle intermittently becomes "stuck" in 1st gear upon acceleration from a stop, refusing to upshift into higher gears. Lack of Warning: These events occur with zero warning signs. No "Check Engine" light, "Wrench" icon, or transmission temperature warnings appear on the dashboard before, during, or after the incident. Recall History: The vehicle previously received the official Ford recall repair for the Lead Frame/Output Speed Sensor issue, yet the life-threatening symptoms have persisted or returned. Diagnostic History: The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Ford dealership on two separate occasions. The technicians reported that they were "unable to duplicate the failure" and found no stored error codes, leaving the safety defect unresolved. Safety Concern: I am filing this complaint because the sudden shift to 1st gear at high speeds causes a violent deceleration (similar to slamming on the brakes), which risks a loss of vehicle control or a high-speed rear-end collision. I have raised this issue to Ford customer relation department as well. Case# CXH07719550, Date: 04/20/2026

It was Tuesday 04/14 I had just left a store. Drove to the corner stop sign and applied the breaks which have always been just fine, easy to stop and slow. Until thst day I eased on the breaks and all of a sudden the peddle went to the floor. I came home and called my mechanic shop. They told me to bring it in. When I did they told me the master cylinder had gone out and was leaking all into the booster. They felt it was unsafe for me to drive it. They gave me a loaner vehicle. Upon returning to my home that's when I saw all the break fluid running down my driveway where I had parked when I got home from the store the day prior. Which I hadn't noticed before. So, now I'm without my vehicle because I simply can't afford a $900 repair bill. I've looked it up and on your website it shows in 2025 there was a recall on the 2014 Ford F-150 that named the master cylinder as a problem. It also stated that on Google. Please help.

After they replaced my transmission lines, my transmission slams into 4th gear and sometimes 5th gear. They said it was a manufacturer defect. I'm waiting for it to give out. I can't afford a new one.

Back up camera intermittently does not work. When it does work it intermittently flips the photo. Objects that are on the right side appear on the left side.
