2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the transmission malfunctioned and downshifted to 2nd gear. The contact stated that the engine control warning light was illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle home and called the dealer. The vehicle was driven to the dealer but was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.

The rear defrost functionality has stopped on my 2014 F150 with sliding rear window. This causes visibility issues in certain weather conditions.

I was driving on highway at 65 miles per hour when my truck suddenly downshifted to first gear and stopped it took a secknds to get the truck going again. I was almost rear ended it was very heart stopping. I dont know why there was a recall on just the 2011-2013 Trucks. My vehicle was built at the Deerfield MI plant same as the others just November of 2013 instead of October 2013 when they closed out the recall. I tried to get it analyzed by a Ford dealership but they gave no appointments for over month out in May! I need my vehicle for work. I'm an essential employee with USPS. Luckily I am close to my office and can take back roads, I can not drive this on the highway! They need to recall all vehicles built at the 2 plants straight through 2013 thus is very dangerous and now I will have to go to my mechanic and if recall does come through. I certainly hoe Ford will honor repair costs done at a non dealership ad I cant get an appointment for over a month!!

Whe the truck was started to allow the interior to warm up, the back glass shattered. Happened at 50 degrees outside temp with defrost on.

March 13th. I was driving on County Road 6, south of Park Rapids, Minnesota, and noticed smoke coming from my coat laying on the passenger seat, I removed the coat and found smoke/flames coming out of the passenger seat. I stopped the truck, ran around to the door of the passenger seat, turned off the seat warmer, and put the fire out. The seat warmer failed and is available for inspection. I have disconnected the seat warmer. March 15th. I brought the vehicle to North Country Ford service Manager and they did not know how to report it, didn't seem to think it was serious, and wanted me to pay $144 for them to look at it. March 16th called Ford Corporate. They started a case #CAS35878378 with Chelse David.

I turned on my defroster this morning, to defrost my rear window and mirrors. I heard a loud bang got out to look around to see if someone hit me, noticed that my driver side rear window had completely shattered

My rear driver side window shattered while I was driving. It was around Jan 8th 2022 give or take the temperature was freezing but no ice had to be scraped. I warmed my truck up for a 3-4 mins before leaving work. As I was on the freeway no more than 10 min after starting my truck I was driving about 60mph at 5:30 in the morning I herd a super loud pop sounded almost like a rock hit my windshield but didn’t see anything. I didn’t find out what had happened until I got home. It did make me swerve just a little bit not know was happening but no cars were out that early. So only one of the three sections shattered but not into pieces it’s still intact as of now but is in a ton of little gravel size pieces. So I’m not able to use the electric middle window to open as I’m sure it will completely break the other section. Also I was not even using the rear defrost at the time just the front window part. I’m sure the temperature is to blame but either way it could have been a lot worse if there was traffic at the wrong time. I’ll be turning into insurance to have it fix in the next few days.

Submitting another complaint about this issue. 2014 F-150 SuperCrew 3.5L TT with 6 speed transmission. Was driving with my whole family in the car yesterday, 03/06/22. Truck started hesitating again, RPMs went crazy, MPH gauge freaked out. I shifted into neutral before the truck would go into a skid like it did the other day. Put the truck back into drive and it was fine. Turned around and took our other vehicle. This thing is a death trap. Recall the 2014 model year now. I've found several others online with 2014 model year with the same issue.

I was driving today, around 60 MPH, with my parents in the truck. All of a sudden my truck slammed into a lower gear, skidded the tires, and everyone was thrown forward in the vehicle. I almost lost control. I know there is a recall for the 2011-2013 Ford F-150 for this, but NOT the 2014 model year (mine). This is the second time it's happened where it's skidded the tires, and it's happened at least half a dozen other times where it hasn't skidded. This WILL cause an accident in time and this IS an issue with other 2014s that I've read about online. Today I was lucky there was nobody behind me or it would have caused a rear-end collision. This needs resolved NOW. I have a wife and three kids that also ride in this vehicle, it's our main family vehicle.
