TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30-35 MPH AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ON ITS OWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SMITH FORD (908 E OAK ST, CONWAY, AR 72032, (501) 329-9881) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *AS *TR

MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND ALL THE FLUID DRAINED OUT AND INTO THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN THE WARNING LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CAME ON, LUCKILY I MADE IT HOME BEFORE I LOST ALL BRAKING FUNCTIONS. WHILE DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM I COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK SO I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING TO TRUCKS JUST LIKE MINE AND EVEN SOME WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL BUT WHEN SEARCHING MY VIN UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEST FORD LINCOLN (579 AMHERST ST, NASHUA, NH 03063, (603) 889-0161), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND STATED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON MAIN SCREEN. TRUCK IMMEDIATELY WENT TO LIMP MODE. NO ACCELERATION AVAILABLE. DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO GET TO SAFETY. TURNED OFF TRUCK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART AND TRUCK SEEMED FINE. ALSO, WHEN CRESTING A HILL IN SIXTH GEAR AND SLIGHTLY LIFTING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE HAS A BIG THUNK THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. SEEMS TO BE IN THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, 'NO CODES' ARE GENERATED FOR THIS OR THE YELLOW WRENCH. FORD SAY POSSIBLE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, LEAD FRAME FOR THE TRANSMISSION, OR SPARK PLUGS. OUR SPARKS PLUGS ARE FORD BRAND AND NEW. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2011-2013 F150, BUT THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE OUR TRUCK AS IT'S A 2014. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DESERVES ANOTHER RECALL AND FORD AGAIN TO COVER THE REPAIRS. THIS IS HAPPENING TO TOO MANY FORD OWNERS AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. THERE IS A LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD FOR SEVERAL MODELS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE DO THE ONLINE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. OUR TRUCK ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME. NO RESOLUTION THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE NO CODES ARE BEING SAVED BY THE COMPUTER. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH FORD KNEW OF THESE ISSUES FOR YEARS AND THEY FAILED TO TAKE CARE OF THE COMPUTER CODE ISSUE AND FIXED THE FAULTY VEHICLES THEY SOLD.

RECALL 16V345000 WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE AFTER 30,000 MILES EXACT ISSUE HAS RETURNED FORD/DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX THE FAILED RECALL FIX. VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER THAN BEFORE FRONT BRAKES DO NOT WORK AT ALL BRAKE PEDAL FALLS TO THE FLOOR.

WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT LIT ON DASH AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. VERY CAREFULLY TOOL BACK ROADS HOME AS TO NOT HAVE TO USE BRAKES ANY MORE THAN NEEDED. NEXT MORNING FOUND MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. THE F150 HAS 116,000 MILES. IF I WASN'T DRIVING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR WRECK OR SERIOUS INJURIES.

THE POWER STEERING JUST STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE THRUWAY. THE REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND IT WORK FINE FOR 4 DAYS. ON THE 4TH DAY I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WAS GONE AGAIN. TAKING IT TO FORD TODAY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE 1ST TIME ON 8/18/20, 2ND TIME ON8/23/20.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH LITHIA FORD IDAHO FALLS (980 W BROADWAY ST, IDAHO FALLS, ID 83402, (208) 525-8500) AND WAS INFORMED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED MOST IMPORTANT FACT WAS OMITTED. "VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR SPONTANEOUSLY."*JB

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED (35-45 MPH) 4X4 WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER ON COUNTY ROAD WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. STOPPED VEHICLE AND TURNED IGNITION OFF/ON. BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN AND FAILURE RE-OCCURRED WITH ADDITION OF "CHECK ENIGNE" LIGHT (ERROR CODE P2112). FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED ON 25AUG16 ~26000 MILES ON VEHICLE WHILE STILL UNDER INITIAL WARRANTY WHILE ENTERING 70 MPH HIGHWAY. SECOND FAILURE HAPPENED ON 8AUG19 ~67000 MILES ON VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY WHILE ON 45 MPH COUNTY ROAD. EACH TIME THROTTLE BODY (BL3Z-9E926-B) WAS REPLACED BY A FORD MECHANIC AT A DEALERSHIP.

TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING 55+ MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NOTICED IT DOWNSHIFTING FROM 6TH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 3RD CAUSING EXCESSIVE RPMS. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WAS "BAD GAS" THAT HAD FOULED THE PLUGS. CHARGED ME OVER $300 AND IT'S NOT A BIT BETTER. SEEMINGLY IT OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN I LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR (I.E. GOING AROUND A CURVE OR TOPPING A HILL) BUT IT IS VERY RANDOM.
