While driving down the highway, the transmission line rapidly failed and caused the vehicle to stop the motor. This was a sudden and rapid loss of transmission fluid and we were very lucky to be able to control the vehicle over to the side of the road. There were ZERO indicator lights to indicate a transmission fluid leak or issue prior to this sudden issue. When researching online, a Ford Certified Technician confirms that there is one VERY specific place on the transmission lines that ALWAYS breaks on the 6R80 transmissions. It is where the line bends upward to an aluminium quick connect that has failed and does fail on a LOT of these vehicles. Photographic evidence sent to me by my mechanic proved that my lines failed in the exact same place. The video of this issue that was posted by a Ford technician can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=xk8tBqh0Q7Y This is a huge safety issue as there is no warning before this fitting fails entirely. We were extremely lucky we were able to get to the side of the road safely.
2014 Ford F-150 complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2014 record →
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the powertrain control module warning light appeared on the instrument panel as the vehicle stalled. The vehicle entered LIMP Mode as the contact managed to coast the vehicle off the highway. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove the vehicle to the dealer; however, the warning light disappeared, and the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. After resuming driving, the failure recurred a second time. The vehicle was then taken to Woody Smith Ford (535 S Yellowstone Hwy, Rexburg, ID 83440) to be diagnosed. The mechanic replaced the throttle body and motor. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.
While traveling at varying rates of speed, the transmission will shift on its own from 6th gear down to 2nd gear. This issue locks up the back tires while traveling at a high rate of speed and therefore is a huge safety issue. Especially since this happened with my children and wife in the vehicle. This issue has also started to cause multiple other features to not work including the speedometer from time to time. The check engine light does not resister this as a problem and it took Ford lots of convincing of what the actual problem was. There are no warning as to when the issue happens. It is intermittent and seems to have a hard time figuring out what gear the transmission should be in based on the speed of travel. This is a HUGE safety issue as I can be driving a high rate of speed and it downshifts without warning or I can be at a stop light and lose all power to the transmission and the vehicle will not move. Only the rpm’s will increase but the vehicle does not seem to have power from the power train system. It has been taken to Ford several months ago. They diagnosed the issue. There was a recall for this exact issue for models 2010-2013. My vehicle was 1 month out of recall. This is an issue seeing as it is the same exact problem the previous models are having but the recall only extended to models up to 2013. The dealership has given me the run around and not returned my calls for service for several months.
This make and model is having the exact same 6 speed transmission issues as earlier recalls. The final straw was when the truck failed to register the speed and slowly crept into oncoming traffic at night, while I turned left. It bucks and shifts hard at neighborhood and highway speeds. More often than not, it is a down speed shift and aggressive, whiplash buck. I lose control of the vehicle and the speedometer goes to 0 even at highway speeds. I called into the hotline and made a case- Case ID 11514803 but I haven't heard anything. That replacement part is on back order for a year + so my truck is unsafe and inoperable.
The rear doors on the truck would not open. Ford reports that it is a "wear and tear" issue b/c the piece at the end of the cable that pulls the latch to open the door is plastic. My concern is not being able to open the doors if there were people (perhaps a baby in a car seat), in the back seat and there was an accident. It seems to me that it is a simple engineering fix. My complaint to Ford went nowhere. There are several videos on YouTube about this problem so I suspect it is a fairly common problem.
1. ford recall program 19N01does not extend to 2014-f150 vehicles equipped with R680 transmission with DTC code 0720 as the trouble. 2. safety is greatly put at risk as the vehicles suddenly and without warning downshifts to 2nd gear at high speeds. this is a tragedy just waiting to happen. 3. yes 3 times 4. yes twice 5. yes wrench light and code P0720 truck is 100% unsafe to drive. p[problem is a year old and part has been on order for 11 months

I was going to get some lunch and I noticed a low brake fluid message was on. So I popped the hood to check fluid level and sure enough it was. I went to auto zone purchased some fluid and filled the reservoir and all seemed fine, but before I could get back to the office the message low brake fluid appeared again. Again I filled the reservoir with fluid at the end of my shift,the message went away and I headed home. As preceded home the message appeared again and I had to purchase more fluid and repeatedly filled the reservoir to make it home . After I got home I looked around the vehicle for leaks and there was none. I explained what happened to my mechanic and he told me my master cylinder was bad and that all the extra fluid I had put into the reservoir had leaked into my booster. About the same time I got a letter stating that a class action lawsuit was being filed in regard to brake failure and here I am.
While driving my truck several times now it shuts off in the middle of driving it without any warning. Many lights come on oil, wrench, check 4x4, limp mode, says remove item on passenger seat. Nothing on seat. Sometimes the truck starts back up other times it does not for approximately 15 minutes. Was almost rear ended by another vehicle one time. I have complained to Ford Motor company and unfortunately got no where with my complaint. I have read many complaints on the internet about the same problem and seems like it is only a ford truck problem. Widespread in the years I have seen complaints from 2006-2020 with the same problem. Something needs to be done before someone is hurt or even killed.

Same as 2013 recall, my transmission "locked" & had to replace the "lead frame assembly" at my expense. I've been told that the 2014 models are having the exact same problem as the earlier (recalled) model years. Please investigate Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Transmission (Lead Frame - AL329G276D) malfunctions causes vehicle to downshift to 2nd or 1st gear at highway speed (60 mph+) with no warning. The truck's wheels lock up, causing the vehicle to skid uncontrollably until the transmission upshifts to a higher gear. This incident could cause a major highway accident endangering passengers and others driving on the highway. This enduring problem was a recall issue on 2011-2013 models and the vehicle was taken directly to the dealer to address at the problem that occurred twice under the same conditions. The problem was diagnosed (lead frame part number referenced previously) and the dealer acknowledged Ford F-150s have this problem all the time. The was no indication light on the dash before or after, however, the Ford dealer said the vehicle had an error code (P0722) when connected to their analyzer which indicates the transmission lead frame failure. I will not put my family and others at risk, the vehicle is not safe to drive, and now sits at my home as a $35,000-dollar paperweight. The reason it is not being repaired is because the Ford dealer cannot get the part to repair their own product, which they know is an on-going problem for thousands of Ford owners (their words - not mine.) Safety is more important than disappointment, but I waited 12 years to purchase a F-150.
Without warning (no lamps or prior problems), the vehicle abruptly downshifted at high speed. Attempting to temporarily alleviate the problem, the vehicle was placed in manual mode. While traveling at 60+MPH in manual on a busy freeway, the speedometer began fluctuating wildly and the vehicle downshifted again. Upon decelerating, the vehicle violently shifted into first gear with loss of control. Although an accident was avoided, the safety of passengers and other nearby vehicles were at risk. The vehicle was inspected at a Ford dealership and the issue was reproduced once but failed to properly show codes. After researching prior model years with similar concerns, replacement of the molded lead frame as would have been completed under a recall, alleviated the problem.

This began in November of 2022 as an Intermittent concern. At first, it appeared that I could temporally correct by pulling over completely shutting off the truck and re-starting (re-booting) but is rapidly becoming worse and today (02/09/2023) became untenable, no matter what I did; the speedometer would not work or behaved erratically for brief periods; the information center display disappeared and then became dashes; the transmission randomly down-shits gears causing the wheels to lock up briefly or does not shift at all, causing engine RPMs to spike. While thankfully this has only occurred at speeds below 40 MPH, I feel that this is a safety concern for myself and others as operation of my vehicle becomes haphazard and unpredictable and I am very concerned that it may happen at higher speeds causing a crash. While I have not had the "wrench" displayed, I have read the following codes: U0401 INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM ECM/PCM; P0316 MISFIRE AT START; P0722 OUTPUT SPEED SHAFT SENSOR The local dealer sates that he believes it to be a Molded Lead Frame issue that was recalled in previous F-150 models but as mine was a 2014, it was not covered. Obviously, the problem has not been resolved for subsequent models.Additionally, the needed replacement part is unavailable and on indefinite back-order, or as the dealer put it, on "inter-galactic back-order" So now, I have an expensive paper weight in my driveway, waiting for a part that may be months or even up to a year to arrive.

Vehicle got stuck in the snow. Tried getting vehicle out and almost had it free when I noticed the temperature gauge rising. I then shut the vehicle down and was calling for help for 10 minutes then noticed a flame come out of the engine bay. Yelled for my family to get out. Me and my wife rushed to get our kids out of the vehicle and down the road. The cab and engine bay are gone. I don’t know what caused the fire but it needs to be figured out my family was endangered.
I was travelling down the highway at near 60 mph and without warning the truck shuttered and shifted to first gear. This nearly started and chain reaction crash with myself and 3 other vehicles as I was nearly rear ended, I also could've easily lost control. Had I been towing my travel trailer at the time this would have caused a major accident without question. 2 codes were thrown at this time P0720 and P0722, this comes back to a Lead Frame issue with the transmission. I took the truck to my local dealer and they stated they couldn't get the issue to happen again and that there was nothing wrong as they could tell because the codes do not store. The only symptom prior to was all the went blank just before the truck shuttered and went to first gear.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the speedometer went to 0 MPH and the transmission inadvertently shifted to 1st gear, the engine revved up, and the rear tires almost locked up.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 290,000.
Ford defrauded the U.S. Government by knowingly installing defectively-engineered parts in my truck as part of a recall and then claiming the issue was repaired. Ford obviously had so many catastrophic brake system failures it necessitated a federal recall. However, Ford admitted they never redesigned the faulty parts to mitigate the problem from happening again. This it tantamount to providing a liver transplant patient with a liver from a chronic alcoholic. Ford absolutely knew the affected parts were defectively-designed and/or defectively manufactured, yet chose to put those exact same parts back in the truck and then lie to the federal government that said parts fixed the problem. All Ford achieved was kicking the can down the road. Not surprisingly, my brake system catastrophically failed AGAIN after Ford "fixed it" during the recall. I guarantee there are other owners out there who have experienced the same problem. Ford MUST be investigated for fraud and held accountable. When I contacted Ford about the problem, their customer service supervisor said they refuse to cover the cost of the repair because it had been more than a year since parts THEY KNEW were defective were installed. Even Ford's executive team refuses to acknowledge the immorality in this situation, and has also expressly refused to reimburse me. They said it doesn't matter if I plowed into a bunch of kids, they are not in any way responsible for putting known defective parts back in my truck. Surely th
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently downshifted from 6th to 1st gear, causing the rear tires to lock up.

The automatic transmission shifts when it should not. As I drive it shifts down into lower gears and once actually shifted down into 1st gear as I was traveling at 40 miles per hour. When this occurs the speedometer needle jumps up and down erratically. Occasionally when I try to leave from a standing stop, stop light or stop sign, the tachometer revs up as it normally would but the truck moves very slowly. I should be accellerated to 20 or so mph but the truck is moving at slower than walking speed. I stop, put the truck in park and repeat the procedure and it usually accelerates normally. Dealer took pan off, complete failure. Large metal chunks on pan. No warnings or indicators lite up on dash. Ongoing, re-occuring. Vehicle currently has 130k miles
2 complaints 1st was my back window spiderwebbed without being hit when it was super cold in wisconsin on Dec 22 2022. It was a loud bang really startled me and I had no clue what happened until the next day. 2nd my wipers will turn on by them self sometimes and there is no intermittent wipers just the medium speed where there is no hesitation or delay.
There is a recall for this same vehicle, but only 2011-2013 year models for the transmission lead frame in the 6R80 transmission. I am experiencing the same part failure, and according to online forums and the fact the part is on extreme back order through all Ford dealerships, the recall should be extended to 2014 year makes as well. My truck is beginning to experience Output Speed Sensor failure symptoms. I was on the freeway a couple times now, driving at normal speeds (65 Mph), when the speedometer started jumping vigorously, then down to zero a few times, causing the transmission to suddenly lock my tires for a second. This is extremely concerning and is putting a my life as well as others at a HUGE risk. Thankfully the tires didn't lock for long and the roads were dry. This could have ended very badly. I plan to do the repair ASAP but it seems like 2014 year models are also affected by this recall (19N01)

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.
Approx. speed of 50 mph vehicle suddenly dropped into 1st gear resulting in rapid deceleration. Both speedometer and tach were fluctuating and had no direct correlation with actual vehicle motion. Defect was momentary and truck resumed to normal shifting pattern and normal speedometer/tach function.
When starting my truck I am now getting a hill descent control fault and service advancetrac.also shows a weak battery but the battery is new and has been checked okay.when you get these warnings the power steering becomes inoperable.also no turn signals work.I’ve not been able to get it into my local ford service as of this time.if I keep switching it off and recranking the warnings go away and all is well.what I don’t understand is why anyone would build a vehicle that would shut down your steering because of a warning that goes away. I have since read about other people having this happen while actually driving and losing steering and some power.this could be life threatening if your going about 70 miles an hour in the middle of traffic. I don’t understand how it’s legal to build a vehicle with this system.
I was driving my F150 on the road another day and it shut off all of sudden in the middle of the road. I tried to restart it but was not successful. It was rush hour and it was so dangerous sitting in a truck in the middle of the road. Luckily I was not hit by other vehicles.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while his father was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made knocking sounds and then lost motive power.

Reading these
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
