2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TRANSMISSION WILL DOWN SHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST GEAR IT DID IT ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES AN HOUR. DID IT WHEN IT WAS RAINING. WAS THE SECOND TIME IT DID IT. TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS IT WAS SHOWING A CODE. DID SOME RESEARCH THERE IS A RECALL ON FORD F150.FOR 09-13 BUT MINE HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS THE 2013. MORE YEAR'S SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. THANK YOU

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER MASTER CYLINDER IN MAY OF 2016. WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED IN DEC 2017. THE MILEAGE WAS 35774 WHEN THE RECALL WAS DONE. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AND NOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS OUT AGAIN. WE REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT THE BOOSTER STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND HAD TO BE PUMPED TO HAVE BRAKES. I THINK THEY REPLACED IT WITH YET ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEABLE.

IT WAS ABOUT 76 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND RAINING. I JUST FINISHED LOADING SOME GROCERIES IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY TRUCK. I GOT IN MY TRUCK STARTED IT AND TURNED IN THE REAR DEFROSTER BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WERE FOGGED. I SMELLED A STRONG BURNED PLASTIC ODOR BUT THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND IT SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD COME FROM THE BACK SEAT. I LOOKED BACK AND SAW MY BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I LOOKED AROUND AND I WAS THE ONLY PERSON OR VEHICLE AROUND. I HAD MY NEIGHBORS CHECK THEIR CAMERAS AND IT SHATTERED FOR NO REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER ACTIVATED, THE REAR GLASS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUDDENLY SHATTERED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. EMPIRE FORD (106 JONESBORO RD, ABBINGTON, VA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

DRIVING WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER ON HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THEN NOTICED MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SPIDER WEBBED. I'VE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO BONDY'S FORD LINCOLN (3615 ROSS CLARK CIR, DOTHAN, AL 36303, (334) 230-5941) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $1,600. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V316000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

STARTING A MONTH OR TWO AGO WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING ON MY FORD F150 STOPPED WORKING LEADING TO AN INABILITY TO TURN WITHOUT USING A LOT OF STRENGTH. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RELATIVELY INTERMITTENT BUT FREQUENT. THIS MEANS SOMETIMES I HAVE THE ABILITY TO STEER NORMALLY, BUT MORE FREQUENTLY THAN NOT I AM MUSCLING THE VEHICLE THROUGH TURNS. THE ONLY PRECEDENCE I CAN FIND FOR THIS ISSUE IS A RECALL ON MY SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, BUT UPON TALKING WITH FORD, MY TRUCK WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS MATCH. I CANNOT FIND ANY OTHER PRECEDENCE FOR THE ISSUE, AND CANNOT FIND ANY GUIDANCE. ALL I KNOW IS THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AS THERE IS NO TELLING WHETHER OR NOT I WILL BE ABLE TO STEER. ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, IT APPEARS THAT ABOUT 70 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS VERY PROMINENT, AS I'M SURE ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THIS SITE.

HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2014 F150 TRUCK AND WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT; BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO FLOOR. WHEN HE GOT HOME, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT COMPARTMENT. CONFIRMED WITH FORD THAT OUR TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL 16S24, BUT WAS BUILT IN THE DEARBORN PLANT DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME AS THE TRUCKS THAT WERE RECALLED AND THERE IS STILL A WIDE SCOPE OF VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. TRUCK VIN IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WE SAW LOOKED OUT THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW WHITE/GRAY SMOKE COMING UP FROM BETWEEN THE TRUCK BED AND THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. WE EXITED THE FREEWAY. WHILE EXITING THE WHITE/GRAY SMOKE TURNED TO BLACK THEN FLAMES SHOT UP. WE PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AS THE FLAMES CONTINUED TO GROW. WE ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT IT GREW VERY FAST. THE BACK GLASS EXPLODED AND THE ENTIRE CAB AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED. 911 WAS CALLED. FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE AND CONTENTS WERE A TOTAL LOSS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORTS STATES THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR UNDER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CAUSING FLAMES TO SHOW FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

I REMOTELY STARTED MY TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I ENTERED THE TRUCK TO DRIVE AND GOT A WARNING LIGHT THAT SAID 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I CANNOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I CANNOT STEER THE TRUCK IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENED ONE DAY AFTER MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE BUT IT CORRECTED ITSELF AND SHE COULD DRIVE THE TRUCK. THE STEERING WHEEL IS FROZEN AND THE TRUCK IS NOT MANEUVERABLE AT ALL. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT DRIVING FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
