2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

MY REAR WINDOW HAS SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED TWICE IN THE LAST FOURTY DAYS. I'VE TIED THE ISSUE BACK TO THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER BEING ACTIVATED WHEN THE REMOTE START IS USED WHICH CREATES AN EXTREME TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN THE AIR INSIDE THE VEHICLE VERSUS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON ISSUE I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH. THIS OCCURRED ON 1/21/2019 AND AGAIN ON 2/27/2019

I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKES SYSTEM. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND ONLY CAME ON LATER. THE OIL RESERVOIR WAS TOTALLY EMPTY AND A EVEN WITH A QUART OF OIL ADDED THE RESERVOIR IS STILL EMPTY WITH NO VISIBLE LEAK. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK IN A SNOW BANK AND NO DAMAGE OCCUR. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL (2013-2014 F-150 3.5LITERS) I ASK WHY BUT GOT NO ANSWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BREAMAN MERRILL FORD (1301 N. CENTER AVE, MERRILL, WI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD CRANK, BUT NOT START. THE CONTACT REFERENCED AN UNKNOWN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) REGARDING A FUSE BURNING OUT THAT NEEDED TO BE RELOCATED. THE TSB ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FUSE SHOULD BE COVERED BY A FORD WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SONORA FORD (13254 MONO WAY, SONORA, CA 95370, (209) 532-5593) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUSE WAS NOT COVERED EVEN AFTER THE CONTACT SHOWED THEM THE TSB.

THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BRACKETS TO THE FRONT SPINDLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK WILL COME OUT ON YOU, AND IT CAUSES THE CALIPER, AND THE CALIPER MOUNTING BRACKET TO COME OFF ON YOU.IN MY CASE, IT CAME COMPLETELY OFF ONCE WHILE BACKING UP, AND THE OTHER SIDE CAME COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I STILL HAD SOMEWHAT BACK BRAKES LEFT TO GET STOPPED. HOWEVER, IT SOUNDED LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS COMING OUT OF IT. I HONESTLY THOUGHT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION WAS FALLING OUT OF IT, DUE TO THE NOISE IT MADE, AND THE JERKING, JUMPING AND WOBBLING IT DONE WHEN IT CAME LOOSE. HAD I OF BEEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK IF I WOULD HAVE HAD TO STOP QUICKLY. I WAS LUCKY ONE COME OFF WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND THE OTHER CAME OFF DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 20 MPH. THIS WAS A SCARY SITUATION DUE TO IT BEING A SUDDEN EVENT, WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER EACH TIME IT DONE IT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A NEW TRUCK WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS, BECAUSE IT IS BASICALLY THE BRAKES FALLING OFF OF IT.

TRUCK DOWN SHIFTS WHILE DRIVING. MY PREGNANT WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY, WHEN TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR AND NEARLY CAUSED US TO SLIDE OFF ROAD IN THE RAIN. FORD JUST RECALLED 2011-2013 FOR SAME PROBLEM! THEY NEED TO RECALL 2014 AS WELL! MY TRUCK WAS FIXED AT FORD DEALERSHIP.

AS I WAS ENTERING AN ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 2ND AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED FROM AROUND 45 TO LESS THAN 20 AND BACK UP AGAIN. AFTER GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO HAVE PAUSED, THE SPEEDOMETER AGAIN JUMPED FROM 65 DOWN AND UP AGAIN.

STARTED 2014 F150 VEHICLE WITH REMOTE START TO WARM UP IN 7 DEGREE WEATHER. GOT IN TRUCK, INSERTED AND TURNED KEY TO ON. I BACKED UP MAYBE 10 FEET ON MY DRIVEWAY AND ONE SECTION (STATIONARY PANEL ON DRIVERS SIDE) OF BACK WINDOW SHATTERED WITH AN EXTREMELY LOUD POP. TRUCK HAS ELECTRIC POWERED SLIDING WINDOW EQUIPPED WITH DEFROST. VEHICLE HAS A NICELY FITTED CAP SO THERE WAS NO IMPACT AGAINST WINDOW. WINDOW DID NOT FALL OUT YET. VEHICLE HAS 62,000 MILES. I CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT FORD DEALERSHIP TODAY TO FIND OUT ON RECALLS OR IF EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD COVER REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK AND GET BACK TO ME BUT NO CALL YET.
