2014 Ford F-150 complaints

WASN'T SURE WHICH CATAGORY TO PUT THIS IN SO I PUT IT IN OTHER. WHILE DRIVING I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MINS I HEARD A LARGE BANG, THOUGHT SOMETHING HIT THE TRUCK BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. AFTER STOPPING TO PICK UP MY GRANDSON WHEN I WENT TO BACK-UP I NOTICED THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED, HAVE NO IDEA WHY OTHER THAN MAYBE THE ELECTRIC DEFROST DID SOMETHING. LOOKED FOR SIGNS OF SOMETHING HITTING IT BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OR ANY SIGN THAT AN OBJECT HIT THE WINDOW. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT IT COST TO REPLACE I NOTICED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON FORD TRUCKS SO I FIGURED I NEED TO PUT MINE ON FILE ALSO.

THE REAR POWER SLIDING DEFROSTING WINDOW WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO WHEN THE REAR DEFROSTER AND HEATED MIRRORS STOPPED WORKING AND IT NOW STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AND IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME CONDITION AND EVEN SOME WHERE THE WINDOW SHATTERS FROM OVERHEATING. IT FIRST HAPPENED AROUND 23,000 MILES AND NOW AGAIN AT 54,000 MILES.

VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 10/16/19 WITH 44K MILES. DEALER SCANNED WITH NO CODES RETURNED SO THEY JUST REPROGRAMMED STEERING MODULE AND VEHICLE SEEMED FINE. IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN ON 06/25/20 WITH 47.5K MILES WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO MAIN ROAD ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT AND SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. TOOK TO DEALER AND SCAN RETURNED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ERROR, SCAN CODE P2112. THROUGH ADVICE WE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD KNOWLEDGE AND ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. FORD APPLIED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM TO SEVERAL MODELS UP TO 2013 VEHICLES, OUR IS A 2014. WE DECLINED REPAIRS AT THIS TIME SINCE WE DON'T DRIVE VEHICLE VERY OFTEN. FORD REP SAID TO SAVE OUR INVOICE FOR POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT IN THE FUTURE IF A RECALL WAS ISSUED. IF WE ELECTED TO HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED AT A FORD DEALER, FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFERED TO APPLY SOME SORT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR US IN CASE OF FUTURE PROBLEMS. AFTER DRIVING THIS WEEKEND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT ONLY PERSISTED, BUT OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN USUAL, MAINLY AT HIGH SPEEDS MAKING THIS SAFETY ISSUE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO RETURN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. WE STILL FEEL THAT THIS IN NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. IT IS IN FACT A SAFETY ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

MY TRUCK WOULD RANDOMLY HESITATE DURING THE ACCELERATION PHASE. EVENTUALLY IT LED TO ME BEING STRANDED DUE TO THE INABILITY OF THE VEHICLE TO START. TRUCKED WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A REOCCURRING DESIGN PROBLEM IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR QUITE SOMETIME. I URGE YOUR AGENCY TO STRONGLY CONSIDER A RECALL FOR NUMEROUS REASONS. 1. IT'S A DESIGN FLAW 2. WHILE I WASN'T AN ISSUE FOR ME NORMAL ACCELERATION CAN BE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS NORMAL BRAKING IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS DUE TO SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.(MERGING, TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC, ETC.) 3. IT WASN'T AN ISSUE FOR ME BUT MY SERVICE INVOICE INDICATED A SLIGHT BURN ON THE FUSE TERMINAL. OBVIOUSLY A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD DUE TO POOR DESIGN. THANK YOU FOR UPON CONSIDERATION.

WARNING LIGHT APPEARS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC", THEN LOST POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY. DROVE TO FORD DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS WAS DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR. FORD HAD RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE BY RECALL #14S09, BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. OBVIOUSLY THE EPAS STEERING GEAR IS DEFECTIVE AND VEHICLES WITH IT NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

PROBLEM: CRANK NO START. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TURNS OUT TO BE THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP. HEATS UP ON ONE SIDE AND LOOKS TO BE MELTING. NEVER POPS THE FUSE. ALLOWS THE TRUCK TO START SOMETIMES AND WHEN YOU LEAST TO EXPECT IT JUST KEEPS CRANKING WITH NO START. AFRAID IT MAY CAUSE A FIRE!

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FEBRUARY 2020 FROM SNYDER MOTORS-BOZEMAN, AND DROVE IT FROM APPROXIMATELY 107K TO 110K MILES WITH NO ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE FIRST PERFORMED THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ON APPROXIMATELY MAY 10TH, 2020. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE ON THE TWO-LANE MONTANA HIGHWAY FROM NORRIS, MT TO FOUR CORNERS, MT. I QUICKLY ACCELERATED FROM 65MPH TO 80MPH AND PASSED THEM IN THE LEFT LANE DURING A PASSABLE STRETCH. JUST AS I HAD ALMOST FINISHED PASSING, I NOTICED THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES MY MODE OF DRIVE (PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, ETC.) FLICKER VERY QUICKLY AND ERRATICALLY BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT DRIVE MODES. WHEN THE LIGHT FIRST HIT THE REVERSE POSITION, IT VIOLENTLY SHOOK THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND MY TWO GOOD FRIENDS WITHIN. I THEN LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE'S POWER AS IF IT HAD SHIFTED ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS THEN FORCED TO VERY QUICKLY BRAKE AND GET BACK INTO MY LANE AS I HAD NO POWER AND ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME AROUND A TURN IN THE PASSING LANE AND APPROACHED TOWARDS US. I HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF BRIEFLY TO REGAIN CONTROL, AND THEN HAD TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK THEN PERFORMED THE ISSUE AGAIN WHILE GOING UP A STEEP HILL DESPITE SLOWING TO 60MPH. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE VEHICLE PERFORM THE ISSUE A MYRIAD OF TIMES, USUALLY DUE TO HILLS GOING 30-40 MPH SINCE I'VE HAD TO AVOID HIGHWAYS. EACH TIME, I AM SINCERELY SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND WELL BEING. I TOOK IT INTO BOZEMAN FORD FROM 6/22/20 TO 6/29/20 AFTER FIRST TAKING THE VEHICLE TO FOSTER'S MASTERTECH AND HAVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VISIBILITY OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW WAS IMPAIRED. MIKE REICHENBACH FORD LINCOLN (600 N COIT ST, FLORENCE, SC 29501; 866-957-8563) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,500.

MY USED 2014 F-150, (WITH 51K MILES) I OWNED FOR A MONTH, HAS A 6R80 TRANS, SLIPPED FROM 6TH GEAR, INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE I WAS DOING 65 MPH, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE N.J. PKWY. IT WAS COVERED BY DEALER, TURNED OUT TO BE THE "LEAD BODY" THAT NEEDED REPLACING WITHIN THE TRANS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS TRANS, WITH THIS YEAR AND OTHER MODELS. PRESENTLY THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2015 AND HIGHER YEAR MODELS, JUST NOT FOR THE "14" MODEL AS OF YET, THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO IT'S, ABRUPT ONSET, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, OR CHANGE IN DRIVING TO INVOKE SUCH AN ACTION. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR USE ANY TYPE OF THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. HAD TO CONTINUALLY DRIFT TO A SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY TO TURN OFF VEHICLE BECAUSE THE THROTTLE BODY WENT BAD. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE AND UNSAFE TO BE ON ANY ROADWAY. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, I'VE NOTICED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BECOME SOFT, ALMOST GOING COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AT TIMES. ALSO, WHILE STOPPED AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY SINKS TOWARDS THE FLOOR. I HAVE CHECK THE TRUCK FOR POSSIBLE LEAKS AND HAVE FOUND NONE APPARENT. THE RESERVOIR IS DOWN A BIT BUT AGAIN, NO VISIBLE LEAKS. I CHECKED FORD'S SITE FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL AND IT SAYS THERE IS NONE. HOWEVER, I KNOW THERE IS SOME 2013 AND 2014 MODELS WITH A MASTER CYLINDER RECALL. I'M THINKING MAYBE THE RECALL DIDN'T INCLUDE ENOUGH VEHICLES BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE MY TRUCK IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 65 TO 75 THE TRUCK JUST SHUTS DOWN ,STOPS RUNNING THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IN 5 YEARS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ALMOST HAD A MAJOR REAR END MISHAP AS A SEMI WAS ON US GOING UP A BRIDGE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC,A WRENCH SHOWED UP ON DASH DISPLAY TRUCK STARTED BUT DIED 3 MORE TIMES AT ROAD SPEED IN 20 MILES. *TR

I HAVE 86000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE UPON STARTING TURNS OUT I HAVE A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WONT COVER IT THIS IS NOW THE SECOND FORD I HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS. *TR

2014 F150 WITH 61,000 MILES INTERMITTENTLY LOSES POWER STEERING. HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE UNTIL THE CONDITION HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING SHAFT IS FAILING AND MUST BE REPLACED (APPROX. COST $1900). DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2014 F150 (NHTSA ID 14V316000) IN WHICH THE STEERING ASSIST WAS INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED AND MUST BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE RECALL ONLY INCLUDES TRUCKS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN MAY 26 AND JUNE 19, I'M TOLD MY TRUCK WAS NOT MANUFACTURED DURING THAT TIME AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

WE HAD SOLD THE HOUSE AND WERE MOVING. TRUCK WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF HOUSE WITH TRAVEL TRAILER ATTACHED TO HITCH. PREPARING TO DRIVE AWAY, AND HAD NO BRAKES. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID AND HAD NONE. TOOK OTHER CAR TO PURCHASE, CAME BACK AND FILLED, AND BRAKE FLUID ALL DRAINED OUT. HAD TO UNHOOK TRAILER AND HAVE VEHICLE TOWED. LOCAL DEALER REPLACED MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BOOSTER THE NEXT DAY. SPENT $719 PLUS FINDING ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE NIGHT, DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THAT TIME. DROVE NEARLY 600 MILES, AND THAT NIGHT WE LOST POWER. ANDHAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. HAD TO STAY 1 NIGHT IN A HOTEL, THEN 3 MORE NIGHTS IN AN RV PARK WAITING FOR PARTS, AND SPENT $445 IN REPAIRS. OUR MOVE WAS DELAYED SEVERAL DAYS WITH ALL OF THIS, DUE TO A TRUCK THAT HAD LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT, AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I SINCE INADVERTENTLY FOUND OUT THAT MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER HAVE NOW BEEN RECALLED, BUT I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GO TO A FORD DEALER TO REQUEST A REFUND, AND WAS TOLD IT COULD TAKE 6-8 WEEKS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT COVER THE THROTTLE BODY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OUR TRUCK THAT HAS NOT GIVEN US ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE COULD HAVE THESE TWO MAJOR ISSUES BACK TO BACK WITHOUT THEM BEING RELATED. ALL OF THIS HAS SET US BACK NEARLY $2000. *TR

FRIDAY, JUNE 12TH, 2020, I WAS PARKED AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AROUND 12:10 AM, TURNS OUT MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. IT WAS 79 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, HIGH HUMIDITY, AND REAR DEFROSTER WAS POWERED ON AT 12:00 AM, DIDN'T NOTICE THE DAMAGE UNTIL THE MORNING. NO IMPACT MARKS OR DIRECT AREA THAT STARTED THE SHATTER, IT SHATTERED EQUALLY AT ALL SPOTS. *TR

DUE TO THE FUSE BOX BEING IS LOCATED ABOVE THE RADIATOR, IT IS EXPOSED TO DIRECT HEAT, AND CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE TO COMPLETELY MELT. THIS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO COMPLETELY DIE TWICE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AND FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS ISSUE SINCE IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT DRIVERS ARE HAVING. A SIMPLE FUSE BOX RELOCATION WOULD BE AN EASY SOLUTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE STEERING CEASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND DROVE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD OF MONTEBELLO (2747 VIA CAMPO, MONTEBELLO, CA 90640, (323) 838-6920, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND NEEDED OT BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V316000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000.

IT WAS A COLD WINTER MORNING. I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK AND HAD THE REAR DEFROSTER ON TO CLEAR ICE AND SNOW FROM MY REAR WINDOW AND MIRRORS. I WAS STATIONARY, I PUT MY TRUCK INTO DRIVE TO PULL OUT AND WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF IMPACT, THE DRIVER SIDE GLASS PANE IN MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. *TR

WHILE DRIVE AT APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR, THE ENGINE RPM SHOT UP AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. THE GEAR NUMBERS ON THE DASH WENT FROM DISPLAYING ALL SIX GEAR NUMBERS TO DISPLAYING ONLY 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET. *TR

TRUCK JUST HIT 100K MILES AND RECENTLY STARTED TO DOWN SHIFT AT TIMES. THE PAST COUPLE DAYS WE TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH HAS HILLS AND GOING UP HILL THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN WE PRESS THE GAS. WE TRIED PULLING OVER AND PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK BUT THAT DID NOT HELP. WE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET THE CAR TO START ACCELERATING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED FOR TWO DAYS SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING IT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE POWER TRAIN. THE SENSOR HAS TO BE REPLACED BUT ALSO THE ENTIRE BOX HAS TO BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT PART OF THE TRUCK TO PREVENT THE BOX FROM OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THIS SENSOR ISSUE. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW. ONE THAT IS COSTING OVER $500 TO FIX. *TR

MY TRUCKS BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. NO BRAKES, I BARLEY MISSED BEING T-BONED. I HAD NEW BREAKS ABOUT A 2 MONTHS AGO. NO BRAKE FLUID BUT NO LEAKAGE ON THE GROUND. MY SON TOLD ME IF COULD BE THE MASTER CYLINDER SO I LOOKED IT UP TO SEE HOW MUCH ONE COST AND SEEN RECALLS ON 2014 F150 FOR FAILURE OF MASTER CYLINDER BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. HELP PLEASE *TR

ISSUE OCCURS WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK, PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE TO LEAVE FROM WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED. THE TRUCK WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE. AS YOU MOVE FORWARD IT WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN INTO FIRST, IT WILL STAY IN 5TH GEAR. IF YOU STOP THE TRUCK, SHIFT INTO PARK, SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, THEN RESTART THE TRUCK AND PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE IT WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT WILL START OUT IN 1ST AND THEN SHIFT AS NEEDED DEPENDING ON THE SPEED YOU ARE GOING. WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK ABOVE 40 AND THEN COMING TO AN INTERSECTION AND SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN THE TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR SUDDENLY (SHOULD BE RUNNING IN 3RD GEAR AT THIS POINT) AND THE ENGINE WILL REV UP SUBSTANTIALLY, ONCE THE TRUCK HAS TURNED THE CORNER AND YOU STEP ON THE GAS THE TRUCK WILL THEN SHIFT BACK UP INTO THE PROPER GEAR (3RD GEAR OR SO). ON OCCASION WHEN YOU START THE TRUCK AND TRY TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FROM A PARKED POSITION IT WILL ACT ERRATIC BY SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 5TH (GOING LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR AT THIS POINT), THEN DOWN TO 3RD EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK IS ONLY GOING 5-10 MILES AN HOUR. GENERALLY STOPPING THE TRUCK, SHUTTING THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING THE TRUCK WILL CAUSE IT OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

I HAVE A 2014 F150 FORD TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS. I WAS OUTSIDE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THUNK. I STARTED TO LOOK AROUND TO FIND WHAT IT WAS AND SAW SOMETHING UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. LOOKING AT IT I FOUND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A BROKEN PIECE OF CURVED ROD ABOUT 5/8 INCH IN DIAMETER. LOOKING FURTHER I FOUND IT WAS OFF THE COIL OVER SPRING WHICH HAD BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A CLEAN BREAK WITH NO CRACKS IN THE METAL AND DID NOT LOOK LIKE THERE HAD BEEN ANY REASON FOR IT TO BREAK. THE TRUCK HAS 44000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THAT IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THAT IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I THINK THAT THE METAL WAS DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A COIL SPRING BREAKING LIKE THIS WITH SO FEW MILES ON A VEHICLE

I JUST CAME OFF THE FREEWAY ON TO A CITY STREET AND THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHT CAME ON THEN I LOST POWER TOO MY STEERING. I'M GLAD I WAS NOT STILL ON THE FREEWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT.

REAR DEFROSTER FAILURE; ALSO IMPACTS HEATED OUTSIDE MIRRORS, RENDERING THEM INOPERABLE. ACCORDING TO DEALER, THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON FAILURE AND ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE REAR WINDOW (~$1200.00).

DRIVING DOWN COUNTRY ROAD WHEN "POWER ASSIST STEERING FAILURE" LIGHT CAME ON AND INSTANTLY LOST ALL POWER STEERING. HAD TO LIMP HOME AND VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2017. IN 2018, OCCASSIONALLY NOTED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR WOULD SWITCH TO OFF WHILE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT, WITH SEATBELT FASTENED. APPROACHED MY DEALER WITH THE PROBLEM, THEY READ CODES AND FOUND NO FAULTS. DURING A LONG ROAD TRIP IN 2019/2020, A PATTERN EMERGED: WHEN VEHICLE FIRST STARTED AND PASSENGER PRESENT, PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM INDICATES ON. AFTER 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, INDICATOR GOES TO OFF. ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME, UNBUCKLING AND RETRACTING PASSENGER SEATBELT, THEN REBUCKLING, AND INDICATOR WILL COME BACK ON. IF THIS FAILS, TRUCK MUST HAVE IGNITION TURNED OFF BEFORE IT WILL RESET AND SWITCH AIRBAG ON. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE 2014/15 RECALL FOR ISSUES THAT MATCH THESE SYMPTOMS. ALSO TOLD THAT MY EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY MAY NOT COVER A FIX (TO THE MAIN SAFETY SYSTEM??)... IT IS DEPENDENT ON SHOP INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS.

MOTOR HAS BEGUN TO MAKE A LOAD CLANKING SOUND WHEN STARTING. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN

ABRUPT DECELERATION, CHIRPED TIRES AND VEHICLE WAS BOGGING DOWN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING ROUGHLY 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF SOMETIMES IN TRAFFIC WHEN TANK NOT EMPTY . GAUGE RESISTERS THAT FUEL IS IN THE TANK . THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED , NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY !

'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT ' COMES ON SCREEN AND POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOES OUT HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION OR DURING STARTUP. EVENTUALLY COMES BACK ON AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PRESSING THE AUTO START BUTTON TO START THE VEHICLE MOMENTS LATER A LOUD POPPING SOUND WAS HEARD. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR CABIN SLIDING WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. DURING THE INCIDENT THE WEATHER TEMPERATURE WAS 25 DEGREES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER CURRIE MOTORS (2052 W. MORTHLAND DR. VALPARAISO, INDIAN) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED.

SECTION OF REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAS A SLIDING MIDDLE SECTION AND HEATED DEFROST IN THE GLASS. THE DEFROST FOR THIS WINDSHIELD IS ON THE SAME SWITCH AND CIRCUIT AS THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR DEFROST. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE MORNING OF JANUARY 7TH 2020 AT APPROX. 0630. THE TEMPERATURE WAS COOL OUT AND MY DRIVER'S MIRROR WAS FOGGED UP. I TURNED ON MY MIRROR DEFROST AND APPROX. 5 MINUTES LATER HEARD A LOUD BANG. I STOPPED THE TRUCK TO SE IF SOMETHING HAD HIT MY TRUCK AND FOUND THE DRIVER'S SIDE PORTION OF MY REAR WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ISOLATED ROAD WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND AT THE TIME AND NO HOMES IN THE AREA. THE WINDOW TINE KEPT THE GLASS IN PLACE AND THERE WERE NO HOLES IN THE TINT WHERE SOMETHING PIERCED THE GLASS. WHEN THE SUN CAME I UP CHECKED MORE CLOSELY AND IT APPEARS AS IF THE GLASS SHATTERED FROM INSIDE THE FRAME WHERE THE DEFROST WIRE WAS. I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED NO RECALLS. WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER ON FORD F150 PICK-UPS. I PAID MY $500 DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE THE GLASS REPLACED.
