2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN GETTING LOOSE AND WOBBLES.IT IS SO BAD THAT I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. FEELS LIKE IT CAN COME OFF ANY DAY NOW.

WE WERE LEAVING TO GET LUNCH, CAME UP TO A STOP SIGN AT ABOUT 30MPH WITH A CAR COMING DOWNHILL ON THE ROAD WE WERE GETTING READY TO TAKE. I ATTEMPTED TO USE MY BRAKES TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND HAD LOST MY BRAKES. THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE AND MY FOOT THAT WAS ON THE BRAKE WAS FULLY PRESSED. WE ROLLED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, CUTTING OFF THE CAR. I FOUND THE BRAKE BOOSTER, VACUUM / MASTER CYLINDER TO BE AN ISSUE AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC AND DEALERSHIP. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD THESE PARTS REPLACED WITH ABOUT 9,000 MILES DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO INSTANCES (THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS UNREPORTED TO NHTSA). FORD WAS CONTACTED BUT I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE DUE TO MY STATE'S (OHIO) LEMON LAW.

CYLINDERS 5, 6, 7 AND 8 ALL BLEW HEAD GASKETS ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER STARTING WITH NUMBER 8.

JANUARY 11, 2019 MY ECO BOOST FX4 WAS JUST AT 65K ON THE ODOMETER EXPERIENCED A HARD SHUTTER LIKE MANY ON THE FORUMS SAY AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ON THE INTERSTATE. CODE CAME UP MISFIRE. REPLACED ALL MY SPARK PLUGS, THAT AREN'T SUGGESTED FOR CHANGE FOR CHANGE UNTIL 100K. GAP OPENED FROM .28 TO .45. INTERCOOLER HAD A GOOD BIT OF OILY RESIDUE IN IT. I ALSO SINCE THEN INSTALLED A VAPOR CATCH CAN FOR OVER 400$. IT'S A SHAME YOU HAVE TO DO THAT. ALSO I RECENTLY HAD MY REAR DEFROST ON THE STOP WORKING ON THE MODEL WITH THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW. WHICH AGAIN HAS MANY COMPLAINTS. FORDS FIX IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR WINDOW AT A HEAVY PRICE. BOX BEING ABLE TO DEFROST IS A MAJOR VISIBILITY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER. BOTH ISSUES HAVE MANY COMPLAINT ONLINE AND FORD HASN'T FIXED EITHER. THE PICTURE OF THE COKE BOTTLE IS WHAT DRAINED OUT OF THE CATCH CAN BY NPR. IT WAS 1 MONTH OF COMMUTING AND A 8 HOUR ROAD TRIP.

ADVANCETRAC SERVICE KEEPS COMING ON AND STEERING AND BRAKES BEGIN PULSING AND SHAKING AND CAN'T HARDLY TURN , HAS HAPPENED WHEN GOING STRAIGHT AND WHEN TURNING WHILE GOING FROM 35 TO 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY OR SIDE STREET. ONLY 19000 MILES

WINDOWS SHATTERING WITH OUT IMPACT. MOSTY ON FORDS 2010 TO 2016 I AM SEEN WHILE RESEARCHING. FORS HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT THEY REFUSE TO RECALL. ITS IS A DEFECT IN THE WINDOW EITHER BY THE DFROSTER OR FAULTY GLASS. WILL JUST EXPLODE WITHOUT CAUSE AT ANYTIME. WAS DRIVING APPROX 10MPH STRAIGHT DOWN ROAD NORMAL STREET, BOUGHT TRUCK AT FORD OF SOUDERTON CIOCA THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP WONT BACK PRODUCT.

REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED WITH NOTHING HITTING IT. I HAVE A CAP ON THE TRUCK IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE TRUCKS WINDOW TO BE HIT BY A ROCK WITHOUT THE CAP HAVING BEEN DAMAGED. TRUCK WAS PARKED I CAME OUT AND NOTICED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SAFETY GLASSES WAS BROKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TIGHT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHEEHY FORD LINCOLN OF RICHMOND (10601 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, RICHMOND, VA 23235, (804) 794-0500) WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE DEALER DID NOT LOOK UP THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,805.

WHILE TRAVELING EASTBOUND DOING 65 MPH AND TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER ON I-10 (FL PANHANDLE), THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT LANE. AFTER GETTING TO A REPAIR GARAGE, WE WERE TOLD BY A FORMER FORD MECHANIC THAT THERE HAD BEEN A TSB ISSUED FOR MICRO FUSE #27 WHICH CONTROLS FUEL PUMP RELAY. FORD HAS ISSUED A REPAIR KIT TO REPLACE THE FUSE WITH A CARTRIDGE MAXI FUSE IN THE #70 EMPTY SPOT ON THE FUSE PANEL. THE MECHANIC PERFORMED THIS FUSE REPLACEMENT AND THE TRUCK IS NOW RUNNING FINE FOR 400 MILES. THE MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT HE HAD PERFORMED THIS REPAIR "SEVERAL TIMES" WHILE WORKING FOR A FORD DEALER.

WHILE I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING TO WORK ON A COLD MORNING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, (7AM @ 5MPH) MY REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED ON ONE OF THE THREE PIECES THAT MAKE OP THE REAR WINDOW. IT HAS THE HEATING ELEMENT INTEGRATED WITHIN THE WINDOW AND I SUSPECT THIS DAMAGE WAS DUE TO A RAPID TEMPERATURE CHANGE. NO ONE WAS AROUND THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT EXCEPT FOR MYSELF.
