2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

Received a recall statement for the brake system master cylinder. Called Bowen Scarff Ford Dealership and made an appointment to have it repaired, and then they called and cancelled the appointment stating the part was on backorder with an indefinite timeline for availability. I asked them to open a repair order today 4/3/26 so it’s documented I tried and they told me “you are on the list”. The dealership also stated if the vehicle stated having brake issues, that we could bring it in for service but that we would be charged. No service number for the created and unresolved ticket was provided to me from the dealership. I then called Ford Customer Servive about the recall timeline, which again had an indefinite date and no other information to provide. I was told the vehicle was safe to drive, and to just wait. I expressed concern that my [XXX] son drives this vehicle, and the Ford representative told me to stop driving the vehicle if we experience: -An audible chime -A message center alert -The red brake warning indicator lights up I was provided a case number from Ford on 4/3/24 #CXH07558665 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

An intermittent failure of the output shaft speed (OSS) sensor in the transmission. It downshifted while traveling over 45 MPH> The dashboard lights went away, and the transmission will only stay in first gear. Restarting the vehicle (sometimes multiple times), addresses the issue temporarily. safety recall 24S37 addresses the issue but my vehicle is not part of this recall.

Consistent with NHTSA Recall bulletin 24V444000, my truck suddenly downshifts on its own from 5th or 6th gear to 1st or 2nd gear, even at highway speeds. When that happens, the RPMs increase dramatically and the truck slows down. I have almost wrecked while driving in snow when this happens, because the rear wheels slide out of control when the transmission drops to 1st or 2nd gear. So, why isn't my truck covered by this recall bulletin? This has been occurring with increasing frequency for over three months. Today (3-18-26) it occurred at least eight (8) times - and it's snowing.

I am aware this year f150 had issues with steering recall. My model did not come up as recall. However, I twice have had steering issues. On 04/26/24 I had the steering assembly repaired, car went into limp mode while driving. It cost $1,505.45 for the parts and it had to be reprogrammed at dealership $225.00. Total was $2,359.14. Now this week 03/10/2026 the steering is hanging up again and it is in shop. It seems odd my truck was not part of the recall. As longtime Ford buyer and relative of many Ford employees around Detroit, this is disturbing. Especially with STEERING !!!!! I will try to attach prior receipt.

There have been sudden downshifts occurring at any speed while driving. For example, downshifting from 6th gear to 1st gear while on the interstate driving around 70 mph. Or driving 40 mph on a public, decently popular road and having the downshift occur suddenly. Occurred 4 times in one day and almost was in a crash each time it happened. Upon researching this issue, there is a Ford recall “24S37” for this exact issue and it covers 2014 F-150’s from the Kansas City Plant during the dates of July 26, 2013 through December 23, 2014. But yet my specific vehicle isn’t recalled even though it’s from the Kansas City Plant and departed from that plant on November 18, 2014. Ford was called and notified of this incident but it’s been a week now with no update or response from them about getting my vehicle the necessary repairs needed so I can safely drive again. There is no sense of urgency any time I have called their Customer Service department even though I remind them every time I am currently without a car since mine is dangerous and unsafe to drive. This vehicle has been inspected by a Ford dealership many times for other repairs and this issue was never addressed or notated. There were no warning lamps or messages displayed prior to these incidents, the downshifts just occurred randomly with no prompting.

When driving the transmission acts like it goes into neutral the it down shifts into 4th gear from 6th gear at highway speeds. They did do a reprogramming recall but the problem is still there after replacing the parts they said were bad

Two separate times, driving at highway speed, the truck shifted into first gear and I had to pull over. A wrench symbol also popped up where the speed is usually displayed.
