2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 109,000 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 276,000. The contact later confirmed the discrepancy with a Carfax report that listed the mileage at 276,000.

Coil packs need constant changing in this vehicle. I’ve owned it almost 8 years and sometimes I would have to change the coil packs more than 1 time a year. Obviously I would change the spark plugs also. But there is always a misfire. A lot with 3 and 5.

Transmission would downshift unexpectedly causing me to brake and panic, the tool icon will come on dash, speedometer stops working and backup camaras failed, transmission locked up on highway and caused driveshaft to lock back tires. All around dangerous situation

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light, the wrench warning light, and the air bag warning light illuminated. In addition, the speedometer failed to function as intended. The speedometer indicated 0 MPH while driving. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. After the vehicle was restarted, the wrench warning light was no longer illuminated. The contact continued to drive, and while driving at 45 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The wrench warning light intermittently illuminated, and the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to respond as needed while driving. The vehicle was taken to a collision center. The contact was provided the following codes: P1500-00, P0722-00, P0721-00, P0304-00, and P0151-00. The contact stated that the codes were cleared while at the collision center. The vehicle failed the emission test. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering wheel sensor had failed, and the sensor was replaced. The contact stated that on the drive back to the residence after leaving the independent mechanic, the check engine warning light, the wrench warning light, and the air bag warning light were illuminated. In addition, the speedometer failed to function as intended. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the transmission output shaft speed sensor and the powertrain control module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Most recently, the contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, once the contact removed the foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to move. The accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle drove sluggishly; and the contact had to use additional force to depress the accelerator pedal. The check engine and air bag warning lights illuminate

I had the OSS software recall completed a few months ago. Software fix is suppose to prevent automatic downshifting to 1st gear when traveling in higher gears. I am now having slipping/engine shudder when accelerating in higher gears. More than likely the lead frame will need to be replaced and my independent mechanic has said this should have been the fix initially, not just a software update. (Same models from 2011-2013 have had this recall implemented, but the 2014 has not been included for some reason.)

Per the attached letter to 1 A Auto I installed the subject steering shaft and torqued it per their video instructions. It slipped off causing a complete loss of steering because it wasn't properly fabricated. . Thankfully, I was travelling at low speed and was able to safeky stop, make an emergency repair and got the truck home. It caused a break in the airabag clock spring cable and also broke a cable on the steering wheel that connects the guage control on the steering wheel. I bought another shaft from 1 A Auto but it had the same defect described in the attached letter. I did not intsall the second part from from 1A Auto. I bought another shaft from O'Reilly Auto parts which was properly fabricated by Dorman. These parts from 1 A Auto should be recalled before some is injured. Indeed someone may have already been injured but this issue may not be detected as the cause

I was driving the vehicle this morning; the temperature was about 16 degrees Freiheit outside and the truck had been sitting out all night. I had the heater on and the rear defroster on. I drove the truck for about 2 minutes on a 25 mph residential street and heard a loud bang. I continued to drive the truck and noticed the driver side pane of the rear sliding glass window had shattered. I did some research online and found several reports from individuals with F-Series trucks that have reported similar incidents.

I am reporting an odometer rollback that occurred before I purchased my vehicle. CARFAX shows the vehicle had 206,627 miles when it was sold at an auto auction on February 27, 2023. Four months later, in June 2023, the vehicle was retitled in Illinois at 69,000 miles. The odometer reading at my first service visit on June 26, 2023 also showed 68,380 miles. This is a discrepancy of approximately 138,000 miles, which indicates the odometer was rolled back sometime between the auction sale and the Illinois title issuance. I purchased the vehicle in June 2023 without knowing the mileage had been altered. The issue affects the accuracy of the vehicle’s history and could impact safety and maintenance expectations. I am reporting this so the rollback can be documented and investigated by the appropriate authorities.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal after being stopped or while idling, the “Low Oil” warning light would illuminate, and the gauges would fall to zero. The failure was intermittent. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

When driving the vehicle will drop down into a lower gear such as first gear causing the tires to lock up while going into the lower gear, throwing your body in the truck forward causing whiplash and sending my vehicle into other lanes or oncoming traffic. There's a loyd bang when it happens and the engine vibrates so bad when you accelerate it feels like the engine is gonna fall out. They said there's no recall for my vehicle by Vin number but if you put the model in the search registry then 7 recalls come up. Why is my model excluded from this? This is highly dangerous and can kill me or other people on these roads. Ithappens daily. I had just bought it 2 months ago and it happend the same day I bought it and every day since.
