2014 Ford F-150 complaints

I REMOTELY STARTED MY TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I ENTERED THE TRUCK TO DRIVE AND GOT A WARNING LIGHT THAT SAID 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I CANNOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I CANNOT STEER THE TRUCK IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENED ONE DAY AFTER MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE BUT IT CORRECTED ITSELF AND SHE COULD DRIVE THE TRUCK. THE STEERING WHEEL IS FROZEN AND THE TRUCK IS NOT MANEUVERABLE AT ALL. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT DRIVING FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A CAR WASH WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE CONTACT PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, APPLIED THE SEAT BELT, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AS THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER FOR THE BODY DAMAGE AND WAS THEN TAKEN TO TOM DENCHEL FORD COUNTRY PROSSER (630 WINE COUNTRY RD, PROSSER, WA 99350, (877) 221-5696) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,783.

PREMATURE STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN AND FAULTY PHASERS @ 43,000 MILES. DIAGNOSED 1 MONTH AFTER POWER TRAN WARRANTY WAS UP.

I HAVE A 2014 F150 ECOBOOST AND THERE IS A RECALL FROM FORD FOR A TEMPORARY LOSS OF SIGNAL WITH THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR HOWEVER NOT FOR MY YEAR. I TRIED TO GO TO FORD TO HAVE THEM REFLASH THE PCM LIKE THE OTHER YEARS THEY COULD NOT DO IT I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK GO INTO 1ST GEAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT 60+ MPH. I HAVE HAD IT STUTTER IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN SHIFT TO 5TH WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNING ON WHILE TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC

WHILE MY TRUCK'S BRAKES WERE BEING REPAIRED, THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE LUG NUTS ON ALL OF THE WHEELS HAD SWOLLEN TO A POINT THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE THEM IF I HAD TO CHANGE A TIRE. THE SERVICE CONSULTANT TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF FORD F150 BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN IS FLAWED, AND THE NUTS HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE NEW SET OF LUG NUTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAVE A DRIVER STRANDED WITH A FLAT TIRE OR USE SOME DANGEROUS ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO REMOVE SWOLLEN LUG NUTS CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO THINK THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE VOLUNTARILY REPLACED THE LUG NUTS. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER THIS CONCERN.

VEHICLE FIRE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE UP IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A SMALL POP/EXPLOSION AND SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE TRUCK, POPPED THE HOOD AND COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE. I STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND NOTICED WHERE THE FIE/SMOKE WAS, SHUT OFF THE TRUCK, AND PROCEEDED TO RUSH INTO THE HOUSE TO GRAB THE KITCHEN FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT DRIVING AND MY HOUSE DIDN'T CATCH FIRE. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HAD THE TOW TRUCK DELIVER THE VEHICLE TO HIM AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE OEM ALTERNATOR THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WANTING TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP IN THEIR WORDS SAID "NOT SURE WHAT YOU WANT US TO DO?" NOT ARE YOU OK, THIS IS SERIOUS LET US HELP, ETC. JUST A SIMPLE PASSING THE BUCK TO A 1800 NUMBER TO FORD. I FILED A CASE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY, BUT THAT TOO WAS A JOKE. THEY DIDN'T CARE EITHER. I WAS TOLD THEY'LL FILE IT AS NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AND SINCE I WAS SO UPSET, I WAS DIRECTED TO CREATE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. I FOUND THIS VERY DISTURBING AS FORD APPEARS TO NOT HAVE CARED ONE BIT ABOUT THEIR MANUFACTURED VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE OR THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR KILLED. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT FINDS THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND PREVENTS A REAL ACCIDENT OR TRAGEDY FROM HAPPENING. AT THIS TIME I DON'T HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICES AS THE FIRE DID A DECENT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE EVEN THOUGH I DID PUT IT OUT WITHIN 60 SECONDS OF IT STARTING. THE MECHAN

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, BRAKE FLUID LOW LIGHT APPEARED FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF BRAKES. HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. MECHANICS STATED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTERNALLY BETWEEN THE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER.

MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING BRAKE FAILURES. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT ACCORDING TO THE FORD WEBSITE MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS BURNED ON ONE SIDE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,400.

MY VEHICLE FAILED TO START. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS A BLOWN FUSE. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE AND WAS TOLD THE ACTUAL FIX IS TO RELOCATE THE FUSE LOCATION BASED ON A SAFETY BULLETIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS BELIEVE SOMEONE SHOULD TAKE A CLOSER LOOK. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS KNOWN FUSE ISSUE HAPPENED I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL AND WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY LOST POWER UNEXPECTEDLY POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS BUT HAS CONTINUED TO CHARGE OWNERS TO RELOCATE THE FUSE WHEN THE WHOLE ISSUE IS A FACTORY DEFECT. IF IT WAS NOT A FACTORY DEFECT THEN THE ISSUE WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO AFFECT SO MANY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKY MY FUSE BLEW IN MY DRIVEWAY BUT OTHERS ARE AT RISK SHOULD THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING.

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THE STEERING SEEMS TO LOCK UP MAKING A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WILL THROW YOU EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT IF MAKING A TURN IT WILL NOT TURN IN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL RELEASE ITSELF AND SUDDENLY THROW YOU INTO A TURNS HARDER THAN WHAT YOU WISH AND IF YOU'RE NOT REAL QUICK TO REACT YOU WILL ALMOST CRASH THIS THAT THIS IS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TO US AND ALSO TO THE TECHNICIAN WHO JUST DROVE THE VEHICLE HE ALMOST WRECKED MY TRUCK BECAUSE OF STEERING LOCKED UP ON HIM ON A 90-DEGREE TURN THIS IS A VERY MUCH A SAFETY HAZARD AND A SAFETY FEATURE OTHER TRUCKS ARE THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS AND I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED THIS IS A ISSUE THAT WAS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 F150 TRUCK, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOT STIFF WHENEVER I TURNED INTO A RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE STREET OR ENCOUNTERED A TIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD. STEERING IN THESE INSTANCES NECESSITATED VARYING DEGREES OF ADDITIONAL STRENGTH TO MAKE THE TURN AND THEN THE WHEEL RARELY EASILY RETURNED TO A POSITION TO GO STRAIGHT THUS RESULTING IN OVER STEERING. I WAS TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER THROUGH MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT ON SEPT. 23,2019, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED UPON DETACHING THE TRAILER AND UNDER MORE NORMAL TERRAIN CONDITIONS. THE TRUCK HAS 80,600 MILES OF MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I AM FEELING THAT IT IS THE EPAS SYSTEM CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN EARLY 2015. IT WAS A LEFTOVER FROM 2014. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT THERE IS A RECALL (14509/NHTSA RECALL 14V316) FOR THIS YEAR AND MAKE, BUT SINCE THE TRUCK SAT AT THE DEALER DURING THE RECALL, I AM WONDERING IF THE EPAS RECALL WORK WAS ACTUALLY DONE. I HAVE SET A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER ON 9/26/2019 (NEMER FORD QUEENSBURY, NY) BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MY WIFE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO APPLY THE STRENGTH NECESSARY TO TURN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. I FEAR HOW MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD WAITING FOR REALLY BAD FATAL ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN. WHEN THE RECALL OCCURRED, MANY OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE IN THE HANDS OF DEALERSHIPS AND I AM CONCERNED THAT MANY WERE NOT REPAIRED BY THOSE DEALERSHIPS AND THE OWNERS WERE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 28 MPH THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS T-BONED BY A 2012 KIA SOUL. THE CONTACT'S HEAD STRUCK THE SIDE FRAME, WHICH CAUSED HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED KEN GARFF AMERICAN FORK FORD (597 E 1000 S, AMERICAN FORK, UT 84003, (801) 692-6561). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DECLINED TO SEND A FIELD ENGINEER TO INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,860.

THE BRAKES ON MY FORD F150 WENT OUT COMPLETELY, WHILE DRIVING. THE TIME FROM BRAKE LIGHT TO NO BRAKES WAS ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO MANEUVER. FORTUNATELY I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION. ALTHOUGH A RECALL HAS BEEN CREATED FOR 2013-2014 FORD F150 FOR THE EXACT ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK, MY TRUCK IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL (BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD NO BRAKES. I ASKED THE FORD SERVICE PROVIDER IF THEY REPORT THE ISSUE, AND THE RESPONSE WAS THEY DO NOT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE OTHER DRIVERS OUT THERE WHO WILL HAVE THEIR BRAKES GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE REVIEW THIS IMMEDIATELY SO THAT OTHERS WILL KNOW THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THEIR BRAKES COULD GO OUT. I AM ATTACHING THE SERVICE DETAIL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER JUST HAS A FAULTY PART THAT WENT BAD. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN TO A BRAKE SYSTEM? NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MY WIFE OR SON HAD BEEN DRIVING.

2014 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SWOLLEN LUG NUTS ON ALL 4 WHEELS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH ME AND 1 OCCASION WITH A FORD SERVICE TECH. (ALL OF WHICH OCCURRED BETWEEN THE DATES OF SEPT 13 AND 18, 2019) MY F150 ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING. MY FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO INTERSTATE 24 IN CHATTANOOGA,TN. SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY AFTERNOON TRAFFIC ON US HWY 27 IN ROSSVILLE, GA. BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD OR PARKING LOT TO RE START VEHICLE. AFTER EACH OCCURENCE I TOOK VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO CHECK VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WAS A LOCAL SHOP DUE TO KNOW DEALERSHIPS CLOSE BY, SECOND TIME I WAS CLOSE TO MTN VIEW FORD IN CHATTANOOGA, TN. AFTER TROUBLE SHOOTING AND VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF ON THE TECHNICIAN, THEY WERE ABLE TO TRACE THE USE DOWN THAT IS PICTURED. THE TRUCK DID NOT LEAVE ANY ERROR CODES OR INDICATIONS TO ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT CAUSING THE IMMEDIATE ISSUE IT WAS RUNNING FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS INDICATED. THE TECHNICIAN DID INDICATE TO ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE WAS AWARE OF. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED INTO A RECALL DUE TO THE DANGER THAT I ENCOUNTERED WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE ON INTERSTATE AND MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH NO INDICATIONS OF ISSUES. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THEIR AUTOMATED SYSTEM DOES NOT OFFER A PATH TO REPORT ISSUES.I WAS TOLD THAT THIS FUSE IS THE ONE FOR THE FUEL PUMP. MDF

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW ALERT RECEIVED WHILE DRIVING. ARRIVED AT DESTINATION WITHIN ONE MILE. UPON RETURN TO VEHICLE ONE HOUR LATER AND STARTING VEHICLE AND REVERSING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WHEN PRESSED AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. MOVED GEAR SHIFT TO PARK AND VEHICLE STOPPED. TOWED TO FORD DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED. NO EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALT SWEENEY FORD (5400 GLENWAY AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45238) FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TWO FRONTAL COIL SPRINGS WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ROKSTAD FORD (476600 US-95, PONDERAY, ID 83852, 208-263-3127) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

THE REAR WINDOW IN MY 2014 F150 RANDOMLY EXPLODED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A YEAR AND A HALF. THE FIRST TIME IS WAS COLD AND I ACTIVATED MY REAR DEFROSTERS. SHORTLY AFTER, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND LOOKED BACK TO SEE MY WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE SECOND TIME, IT WAS 83 OUT AND I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS. BOTH OVATIONS THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING UNDER 40 MILES PER HOUR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30-35 MPH AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ON ITS OWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SMITH FORD (908 E OAK ST, CONWAY, AR 72032, (501) 329-9881) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

MY TRUCK DOESN'T WANT TO STEER RIGHT. IT'S VERY HARD TO STEER AND SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS. HEARD THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING IN THESE TRUCKS. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND IT'S WHEN YOU ARE GOING AROUND A BEND. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE.

MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND ALL THE FLUID DRAINED OUT AND INTO THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN THE WARNING LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CAME ON, LUCKILY I MADE IT HOME BEFORE I LOST ALL BRAKING FUNCTIONS. WHILE DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM I COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK SO I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING TO TRUCKS JUST LIKE MINE AND EVEN SOME WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL BUT WHEN SEARCHING MY VIN UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON MAIN SCREEN. TRUCK IMMEDIATELY WENT TO LIMP MODE. NO ACCELERATION AVAILABLE. DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO GET TO SAFETY. TURNED OFF TRUCK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART AND TRUCK SEEMED FINE. ALSO, WHEN CRESTING A HILL IN SIXTH GEAR AND SLIGHTLY LIFTING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE HAS A BIG THUNK THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. SEEMS TO BE IN THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, 'NO CODES' ARE GENERATED FOR THIS OR THE YELLOW WRENCH. FORD SAY POSSIBLE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, LEAD FRAME FOR THE TRANSMISSION, OR SPARK PLUGS. OUR SPARKS PLUGS ARE FORD BRAND AND NEW. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2011-2013 F150, BUT THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE OUR TRUCK AS IT'S A 2014. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DESERVES ANOTHER RECALL AND FORD AGAIN TO COVER THE REPAIRS. THIS IS HAPPENING TO TOO MANY FORD OWNERS AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. THERE IS A LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD FOR SEVERAL MODELS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE DO THE ONLINE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. OUR TRUCK ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME. NO RESOLUTION THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE NO CODES ARE BEING SAVED BY THE COMPUTER. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH FORD KNEW OF THESE ISSUES FOR YEARS AND THEY FAILED TO TAKE CARE OF THE COMPUTER CODE ISSUE AND FIXED THE FAULTY VEHICLES THEY SOLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEST FORD LINCOLN (579 AMHERST ST, NASHUA, NH 03063, (603) 889-0161), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND STATED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000.

RECALL 16V345000 WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE AFTER 30,000 MILES EXACT ISSUE HAS RETURNED FORD/DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX THE FAILED RECALL FIX. VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER THAN BEFORE FRONT BRAKES DO NOT WORK AT ALL BRAKE PEDAL FALLS TO THE FLOOR.

WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT LIT ON DASH AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. VERY CAREFULLY TOOL BACK ROADS HOME AS TO NOT HAVE TO USE BRAKES ANY MORE THAN NEEDED. NEXT MORNING FOUND MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. THE F150 HAS 116,000 MILES. IF I WASN'T DRIVING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR WRECK OR SERIOUS INJURIES.

THE POWER STEERING JUST STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE THRUWAY. THE REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND IT WORK FINE FOR 4 DAYS. ON THE 4TH DAY I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WAS GONE AGAIN. TAKING IT TO FORD TODAY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE 1ST TIME ON 8/18/20, 2ND TIME ON8/23/20.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH LITHIA FORD IDAHO FALLS (980 W BROADWAY ST, IDAHO FALLS, ID 83402, (208) 525-8500) AND WAS INFORMED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED MOST IMPORTANT FACT WAS OMITTED. "VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR SPONTANEOUSLY."*JB

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED (35-45 MPH) 4X4 WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER ON COUNTY ROAD WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. STOPPED VEHICLE AND TURNED IGNITION OFF/ON. BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN AND FAILURE RE-OCCURRED WITH ADDITION OF "CHECK ENIGNE" LIGHT (ERROR CODE P2112). FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED ON 25AUG16 ~26000 MILES ON VEHICLE WHILE STILL UNDER INITIAL WARRANTY WHILE ENTERING 70 MPH HIGHWAY. SECOND FAILURE HAPPENED ON 8AUG19 ~67000 MILES ON VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY WHILE ON 45 MPH COUNTY ROAD. EACH TIME THROTTLE BODY (BL3Z-9E926-B) WAS REPLACED BY A FORD MECHANIC AT A DEALERSHIP.

TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING 55+ MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NOTICED IT DOWNSHIFTING FROM 6TH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 3RD CAUSING EXCESSIVE RPMS. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WAS "BAD GAS" THAT HAD FOULED THE PLUGS. CHARGED ME OVER $300 AND IT'S NOT A BIT BETTER. SEEMINGLY IT OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN I LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR (I.E. GOING AROUND A CURVE OR TOPPING A HILL) BUT IT IS VERY RANDOM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATIONG. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ZECK FORD (4501 S 4TH ST, LEAVENWORTH, KS 66048, (800) 394-1650) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER COULD POSSIBLY BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-22333089. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

2014 F150 W/~55,000 MILES- (1) 7/30/19- CARRYING LIGHT LOAD IN BED (200 LBS+/-) & 2 PEOPLE INCLUDING DRIVER, ON MAJOR HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR ACCELERATING UP HILL, HAD DRIVEN 15 MINUTES WITHOUT ISSUES. VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND TACHOMETER RED LINED. DID NOT NOTICE IF ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON AS WAS TRYING DESPERATELY NOT TO BE DEAD DUE TO 18 WHEELER RIGHT BEHIND ME. JUST AS SUDDENLY RESOLVED AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS. (2) 7/6/19- TRUCK IN PARK WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, FACING UPHILL ON BOAT RAMP WITH LIGHTWEIGHT BOAT TRAILER IN TOW & IN "TOW/HAUL MODE". (NO BOAT, ONLY DRIVER & 200-300 LBS LOAD IN BED) DISENGAGED EMERGENCY BRAKE & VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD WHILE STILL IN PARK. BRAKED. PUT IN DRIVE & VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD BEFORE FINALLY ENGAGING & ABLE TO ACCELLERATE UP RAMP. (3) FREQUENTLY, SINCE TRUCK BRAND NEW, HEAR A "THUNK" WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE (ON FLAT SURFACE) & ESPECIALLY LOUD, EVERY TIME I SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE (ALSO ON FLAT SURFACE) & ALWAYS DOING EITHER IF ON A HILL. TOOK TO DEALER WHEN STILL UNDER WARRANTEE WHO SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. I LIVE IN A VERY FLAT AREA SO ONLY DISCOVERED THAT TRANSMISSION HESITATES &/OR SLIPS ON THESE OCCASIONS, AFTER WARRANTEE EXPIRED. TAKING IT TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC WHO EMPLOYS A CERTIFIED FORD TRUCK MASTER MECHANIC & HAS NO FINANCIAL REASON TO DOWNPLAY ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING, AN UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AND THE REAR TIRES MAY SLIDE OR LOCK, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON FOR THE 2011-2012 F150'S. THERE ARE MANY ISSUES I HAVE READ ABOUT RECENTLY WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND THIS ISSUE WILL LIKELY KILL SOMEONE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. IMAGINE DRIVING 75 ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF DEATH TO ONE OR MORE PEOPLE IF YOU CANNOT CONTROL THIS VEHICLE.

BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING LIGHT COME ON AND NO BRAKES NO LEAKS SHOWING ADDED FLUID GUESS GOING INTO BOOSTER NOT SHOWING A LEAK ANYWHERE ELSE

2013-2014 BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER....MY 2014 F150 HAS THIS SAME FAILURE WITH 58K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN SLOWING TO MERGE ONTO A US HIGHWAY HERE IN DAGSBORO, DELAWARE 19939. WINDSHIELD WIPER/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH RECALL....THIS 2014 FORD F150 HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THOSE THAT FALL UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE WHEREAS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN COME ON AND YOU CANNOT GET IT TO TURN OFF. NO MATTER IF YOU ARE MOVING OR NOT THIS CAN OCCUR SPORADICALLY WITHOUT WARNING.

I HAD USE THE TRUCK ALL WEEKEND, IT WAS RUNNING FINE, PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. STARTED VEHICLE MONDAY MORNING AND GOT A WARNING LIGHT SAYING "BRAKE FLUID LOW". I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS LIGHT IN MY LIFE, LET ALONE SINCE OWNING THIS TRUCK. PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR, THERE WERE NO BRAKES. CHECKED THE RESERVOIR, THERE WAS NO FLUID. CALLED EL CAJON FORD, IN CA. TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING IT TOWED IN. IN THE MEANTIME, GOT ON LINE TO RESEARCH POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR ACKNOWLEDGED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL, BUT SAID HE WOULD NEED TO INSPECT THE TRUCK. CALLED ME BACK AND CONFIRMED THIS WAS THE ISSUE, BUT SAID MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. SAME PARTS, SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAITED TWO DAYS FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT, NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY HAZARD, THAT IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD, AND THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND IT. WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY CERTAIN VIN MADE IN CERTAIN PLANTS. IT'S THE MASTER CYLINDER, THAT MOST LIKELY MADE BY ONE MANUFACTURER AND SHIPS TO ALL FORD PLANTS,

ON TUESDAY, 7/23/2019 WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 80'S IN THE AFTERNOON AND HIGH 50'S IN THE MORNING BY 3:30 P.M IN MY 2014 FORD F-150, PURCHASED FROM TEXAS, CURRENTLY IN KANSAS, MY REAR, LEFT, TRI-WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE PARKED AT MY JOB LOCATION. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN A STATIONARY POSITION FOR 8 HOURS. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING IMPACTING MY WINDOW AND ACCORDING TO THE GOVERNMENT MECHANICS THAT LOOKED AT MY WINDOW, "HEAT GOT TO IT", MY WINDOW WAS BROKEN BY THE ELEMENTS.

I AM EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS LIKE THOSE OUTLINED IN THE RECALL AFFECTING 2011-2013 F-150 TRUCKS (AMONG OTHER VEHICLES) WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION. IT SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND ABRUPTLY, AND TODAY, I HAD IT DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH TO 1ST ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS CHANGING LANES. THANKFULLY THE TIRES DIDN'T LOCK UP. THE ENGINE REVVED FREELY ALL THE WAY TO REDLINE WHEN THIS OCCURED, GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THESE DOCUMENTED AND REPORTED ISSUES, I'M UNSURE IF THE SECOND WAVE OF RECALLS FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR MANAGED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION WAS CYCLED OFF AND ON AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES OF DRIVING BEFORE THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT USED AN ODB CODE READER TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH INDICATED A P0722-OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NICK MAYER FORD (LOCATED AT 6200 MAYFIELD RD, MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, OH 44124, (440) 449-1000) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000. PIIR= Y.

STEERING IS ERRATIC STEERING IS HARD TO TURN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT . AFTER TURNS TRUCK FAILS TO RETURN TO CENTER. HAD VEHICLE AT AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR SERVICE AND STATED ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS ARE GOOD A RE FLASH OF THE STEERING RACK AND PCM WAS DONE WITH NO CHANGE TO THE STEERING.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I GOT A WARNING ENGINE IN MY TRUCK THAT INDICATED I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND HAD BEEN BURNT OFF IN THE ENGINE. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH FORD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAD EXPERIENCED THE EXACT FAILURE DESCRIBED IN RECALL#16V345000, AND EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS THE EXACT MAKE & MODEL INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. MY TRUCK IS 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 42K MILES ON IT. FORD IS OFFERING TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER & BRAKE BOOSTER FOR A COST OF $1032 +TAX. WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSIS AND FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAME DIAGNOSIS THAT THE FAILURE AND THE MAKE & MODEL ARE IDENTICAL, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND REQUEST A FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS TO WHY FORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED COMPONENTS.

MASTER CYLINDER DUMPING BRAKE FLUID INTO BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING VEHICLE TO HAVE NO FLUID IN RESIVOR AND NO BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2014 MODELS. DEALER WHO REPAIRED MIND SAID THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL. I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS REPAIRED BEFORE. THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY 408 IN FLORIDA. ORLANDO AREA.

PURCHASED 9/5/16 FROM WEST COVINA FORD DEALERSHIP. TRIED TO TRADE IN TO CARAMAX FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. CARMAX TOLD ME TRUCK HAD FRAME DAMAGE. THEY GAVE ME A CARFAX REPORT AND FRAME DAMAGE HAPPENED BEFORE I PURCHASED VEHICLE. ON 5/26/19, AN AUTO AUCTION ANNOUNCED STRUCTURAL ALTERATION TO VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTACHED THE PAPERWORK SHOWING THIS INFORMATION. I CONTACTED WEST COVINA FORD AND THEY TOLD ME TO HIRE A LAWYER. I WAS SOLD A DAMAGED VEHICLE AND NOW I CAN'T DRIVE IT. PLEASE HELP. I ATTACHED THE CARFAX, CARMAX OFFER, AND VEHICLE TRANSFER FORM SHOWING MY PURCHASE DATE.

NO RADIO AND TIME FLASHES ON DISPLAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER ACTIVATED, THE REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIG STAR FORD (LOCATED AT 17717 SOUTH FWY, MANVEL, TX 77578, (281) 607-9341). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM STOPPED. WHEN THE DRIVER WENT TO APPLY HIS BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND HE HAD NO CONTROL OF THE BRAKES. HE WAS ABLE TO AVOID COLLISION BY PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. IT WAS DETERMINED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER 2014 F-150S THAT WERE INCLUDED IN RECALL 16S24, THIS ONE, WE WERE TOLD, WAS NOT. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

AFTER TAKING A 100 MILE TRIP TRUCK WAS PARKED FOR 24 HOURS. AS I STARTED VEHICLE INFORMATION SCREEN SHOWED A LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND A BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON. AFTER EXPLORING THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EXTREMELY. AFTER EXAMINING ALL BRAKE LINES AND THE GROUND FOR LEAKING FLUID THER WAS NONE/WET SPOTS ANY WHERE.I WENT TO A CARE STORE WITH A DIFFERENT VEHICLE I ADDED 12 FLUID OUNCES OF DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID. AFTER TESTING THE BRAKES DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL 4 OR 5 TIMES THE PEDAL STAYED VERY SOFT AND DEPESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ONCE AGAIN THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EMPTY OF FLUID WIT ABSOLUTELY NO OIL VISIBLE ON THE TRUCK OR ON GROUND .HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT MASTER CYLINDER FAIL AND ALL FLUID ACCUMULATED IN THE BOOSTER PUMP. I AM AWARE THE FORD HAS RECALLED 2013/2014 FF-150 WITH THE 3.5 ENGINE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM..

THE RECIRCULATION/FRESH AIR FLAP DOOR CONNECTION TO THE ACTUATOR BROKE OFF AND FELL INTO THE AC HEATER BLOWER MOTOR FAN. CURRENT RESULTS ARE; 1) NO CONTROL OVER AIR FLOW WHETHER WITHIN THE CABIN (RECIRCULATION VERSUS "FRESH" AIR) AND 2) THAT IT MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE AND VIBRATION AS THE BROKEN PART IS WITHIN THE CIRCULAR FAN. EVENTUAL RESULT COULD BE 1) BURN-OUT OF THE FAN MOTOR WITH POSSIBLE OVERHEATING OF THE FAN MOTOR (ELECTRICAL FIRE?), 2) HEAT PROBLEMS FOR PASSENGERS 3) FAILURE TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD UNDER COLD CONDITIONS. IN READING INTERNET POSTINGS (FORUMS), THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A HIGH COST TO HAVE REPAIRED, FOR A SIMPLE BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC.

MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER FAILURE. BRAKES FAILED AND HAD TO RUN THROUGH A STOP LIGHT. SAME FAILURE AS FORD RECALL 16S24
