2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

2014 F150 WITH 61,000 MILES INTERMITTENTLY LOSES POWER STEERING. HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE UNTIL THE CONDITION HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING SHAFT IS FAILING AND MUST BE REPLACED (APPROX. COST $1900). DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2014 F150 (NHTSA ID 14V316000) IN WHICH THE STEERING ASSIST WAS INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED AND MUST BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE RECALL ONLY INCLUDES TRUCKS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN MAY 26 AND JUNE 19, I'M TOLD MY TRUCK WAS NOT MANUFACTURED DURING THAT TIME AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

WE HAD SOLD THE HOUSE AND WERE MOVING. TRUCK WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF HOUSE WITH TRAVEL TRAILER ATTACHED TO HITCH. PREPARING TO DRIVE AWAY, AND HAD NO BRAKES. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID AND HAD NONE. TOOK OTHER CAR TO PURCHASE, CAME BACK AND FILLED, AND BRAKE FLUID ALL DRAINED OUT. HAD TO UNHOOK TRAILER AND HAVE VEHICLE TOWED. LOCAL DEALER REPLACED MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BOOSTER THE NEXT DAY. SPENT $719 PLUS FINDING ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE NIGHT, DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THAT TIME. DROVE NEARLY 600 MILES, AND THAT NIGHT WE LOST POWER. ANDHAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. HAD TO STAY 1 NIGHT IN A HOTEL, THEN 3 MORE NIGHTS IN AN RV PARK WAITING FOR PARTS, AND SPENT $445 IN REPAIRS. OUR MOVE WAS DELAYED SEVERAL DAYS WITH ALL OF THIS, DUE TO A TRUCK THAT HAD LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT, AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I SINCE INADVERTENTLY FOUND OUT THAT MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER HAVE NOW BEEN RECALLED, BUT I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GO TO A FORD DEALER TO REQUEST A REFUND, AND WAS TOLD IT COULD TAKE 6-8 WEEKS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT COVER THE THROTTLE BODY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OUR TRUCK THAT HAS NOT GIVEN US ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE COULD HAVE THESE TWO MAJOR ISSUES BACK TO BACK WITHOUT THEM BEING RELATED. ALL OF THIS HAS SET US BACK NEARLY $2000. *TR

FRIDAY, JUNE 12TH, 2020, I WAS PARKED AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AROUND 12:10 AM, TURNS OUT MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. IT WAS 79 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, HIGH HUMIDITY, AND REAR DEFROSTER WAS POWERED ON AT 12:00 AM, DIDN'T NOTICE THE DAMAGE UNTIL THE MORNING. NO IMPACT MARKS OR DIRECT AREA THAT STARTED THE SHATTER, IT SHATTERED EQUALLY AT ALL SPOTS. *TR

DUE TO THE FUSE BOX BEING IS LOCATED ABOVE THE RADIATOR, IT IS EXPOSED TO DIRECT HEAT, AND CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE TO COMPLETELY MELT. THIS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO COMPLETELY DIE TWICE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AND FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS ISSUE SINCE IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT DRIVERS ARE HAVING. A SIMPLE FUSE BOX RELOCATION WOULD BE AN EASY SOLUTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE STEERING CEASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND DROVE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD OF MONTEBELLO (2747 VIA CAMPO, MONTEBELLO, CA 90640, (323) 838-6920, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND NEEDED OT BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V316000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000.

WHILE DRIVE AT APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR, THE ENGINE RPM SHOT UP AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. THE GEAR NUMBERS ON THE DASH WENT FROM DISPLAYING ALL SIX GEAR NUMBERS TO DISPLAYING ONLY 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET. *TR

IT WAS A COLD WINTER MORNING. I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK AND HAD THE REAR DEFROSTER ON TO CLEAR ICE AND SNOW FROM MY REAR WINDOW AND MIRRORS. I WAS STATIONARY, I PUT MY TRUCK INTO DRIVE TO PULL OUT AND WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF IMPACT, THE DRIVER SIDE GLASS PANE IN MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. *TR

TRUCK JUST HIT 100K MILES AND RECENTLY STARTED TO DOWN SHIFT AT TIMES. THE PAST COUPLE DAYS WE TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH HAS HILLS AND GOING UP HILL THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN WE PRESS THE GAS. WE TRIED PULLING OVER AND PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK BUT THAT DID NOT HELP. WE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET THE CAR TO START ACCELERATING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED FOR TWO DAYS SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING IT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE POWER TRAIN. THE SENSOR HAS TO BE REPLACED BUT ALSO THE ENTIRE BOX HAS TO BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT PART OF THE TRUCK TO PREVENT THE BOX FROM OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THIS SENSOR ISSUE. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW. ONE THAT IS COSTING OVER $500 TO FIX. *TR

MY TRUCKS BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. NO BRAKES, I BARLEY MISSED BEING T-BONED. I HAD NEW BREAKS ABOUT A 2 MONTHS AGO. NO BRAKE FLUID BUT NO LEAKAGE ON THE GROUND. MY SON TOLD ME IF COULD BE THE MASTER CYLINDER SO I LOOKED IT UP TO SEE HOW MUCH ONE COST AND SEEN RECALLS ON 2014 F150 FOR FAILURE OF MASTER CYLINDER BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. HELP PLEASE *TR

ISSUE OCCURS WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK, PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE TO LEAVE FROM WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED. THE TRUCK WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE. AS YOU MOVE FORWARD IT WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN INTO FIRST, IT WILL STAY IN 5TH GEAR. IF YOU STOP THE TRUCK, SHIFT INTO PARK, SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, THEN RESTART THE TRUCK AND PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE IT WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT WILL START OUT IN 1ST AND THEN SHIFT AS NEEDED DEPENDING ON THE SPEED YOU ARE GOING. WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK ABOVE 40 AND THEN COMING TO AN INTERSECTION AND SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN THE TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR SUDDENLY (SHOULD BE RUNNING IN 3RD GEAR AT THIS POINT) AND THE ENGINE WILL REV UP SUBSTANTIALLY, ONCE THE TRUCK HAS TURNED THE CORNER AND YOU STEP ON THE GAS THE TRUCK WILL THEN SHIFT BACK UP INTO THE PROPER GEAR (3RD GEAR OR SO). ON OCCASION WHEN YOU START THE TRUCK AND TRY TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FROM A PARKED POSITION IT WILL ACT ERRATIC BY SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 5TH (GOING LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR AT THIS POINT), THEN DOWN TO 3RD EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK IS ONLY GOING 5-10 MILES AN HOUR. GENERALLY STOPPING THE TRUCK, SHUTTING THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING THE TRUCK WILL CAUSE IT OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. *TR
