2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

MY 2014 F-150 PLATINUM EDITION REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GLASS CRACKED THIS MORNING. AUTO STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE DEFROST AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON AS IT'S WARMING UP THE TRUCK. 5 MIN LATER AFTER GETTING IN THE TRUCK DROVE THE TRUCK FOR 10 SEC OR SO AND I HEARD A LOUD POP! MY GLASS HAD SHATTERED INTO THE PIECES. DID RESEARCH AND SEEN I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. THE DEFROST SENSOR HAS BEEN CAUSING THIS TO THE 09-14 F150 AND FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.. I CALLED A COUPLE DEALERSHIPS AND ASKED THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE CALL THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WHAT IS FORD GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? I DON'T REALLY WANT TO PAY 1K OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING THAT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE, PLEASE PUT IN A COMPLAINT SO THIS CAN GET RESOLVED SOONER THAN LATER! I'M JUST GLAD NO ONE WAS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THIS SHATTERED AT IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND COULD'VE SHATTERED ON THEM! THANK YOU !

THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO WHILE TRAVELING 50 MPH AND THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE TIRES TO SQUEAL, FISHTAIL, AND THE RPM'S REDLINED.I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL ONCE IN A WHILE IT SEEMS HARD TO TURN LIKE YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE . I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2014 FORD F150,S BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER .I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL . ON THE COMPUTER I SEE THERE IS A RECALL BULLETIN UNDER NHTSA . CAMPAIGN # 14V316000.

THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THIS HAPPENED ON A BACK ROAD BUT IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON A TWO LANE ROAD WHILE PASSING IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. A TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN THE TROUBLE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE TRUCK WOULD DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CODE WAS NOT HELD IN THE MEMORY SO THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT CHANGE IT UNDER WARRANTY. I KNOW OF ONE OTHER PERSON WITH THE SAME YEAR AND POWER TRAIN THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED, SHUT OFF, AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED AND WAS TOWED TO AUFFENBERG FORD (115 REGENCY PARK, O'FALLON, IL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULATOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, A FUSE NEEDED TO BE RELOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

REAR WINDOW (POWER/SLIDING/DEFOGGING) SHATTERED WITHOUT IMPACT. THIS IS A KNOWN AND HEAVILY DOCUMENTED ISSUE IN THE F150 COMMUNITY, WHERE THE REAR POWER SLIDING WINDOW WILL SHATTER WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL FACTORS OR FORCES IN PLAY. IN THIS CASE, IT HAPPENED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY, REMOTE START ON, AND TEMP OUTSIDE APPROX 30 DEGREES F. NO ICE, SNOW, OR RAIN ON VEHICLE.

11/30/19 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED. THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND SKIDDED. THE VEHICLE THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. 2 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT NOT AS VIOLENTLY. THE TRUCK HAS AROUND 59K ON IT. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS REASON ON 2013 F150 WITH 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2014.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, HEARD A LOUD NOISE, AND LOOKED BACK AND MY REAR WINDOW ON MY F150 WAS SHATTERED. I GOT OUT, LOOKED AND IT APPEARS NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW. NO DENTS ON THE TRUCK OR ANYTHING. JUST SHATTERED GLASS

MY VEHICLE WAS REMOTE STARTED WARMING UP FOR ABOUT 10 MINS, I GOT IN THE CAR AND HEARD A LOUD POP, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. THERE WAS NO ONE OR NOTHING AROUND MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED BACK AND MY REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED FOR NO REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED AND SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT OCCURRING.
