2014 Ford F-150 complaints

WITH 56000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, LOST ALL BRAKE FLUID. ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE AND FOUND ALMOST NO EFFECTIVE BRAKING WAS POSSIBLE. LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CAME ON JUST PRIOR TO PARKING THE TRUCK, BRAKES SEEMED NORMAL. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE PARKING SPOT A FEW HOURS LATER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE CARPORT, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT. THE CONTACT CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE HOUSE AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND FOUR OF THEM HAD TO BE BROKEN IN ORDER TO HAVE THE SPARE TIRE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO VICKSBURG FORD LINCOLN (2431 N FRONTAGE RD, VICKSBURG, MS 39180), BUT THE REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE LUG NUTS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO DRIVEN BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS AND THE ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, AND BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST AND CORROSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROWN FORD (LOCATED AT 256 SWAIN ST, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303, (910) 920-9614) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE BRAKE CALIPERS, REAR BRAKE DRUMS, FRONT BRAKE PADS, AND FRONT BRAKE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES WERE STILL EVIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,000.

FOUND THE BRAKE FLUID TO HAVE SUDDENLY LEAKED AND LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR'S BRAKES SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST HAD THE TRUCK ROLL INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION WHILE DRIVING ON A DOWNHILL STREET. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO THE TRUCK'S BRAKE SYSTEM AND TRUCK HAS BEEN WITH LOW MILEAGE (36000~). TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO FIX AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED THAT SAME WEEK.

AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE PLACE WE STAYED AND DRIVING 1/2 MILE ON A 2 LANE ROAD, I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER AT A GAS STATION FOR GAS BEFORE GETTING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SPONGY AND BRAKING WAS BARELY RESPONSIVE. THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THEN THE CHECK BRAKES INDICATOR MESSAGE DINGED ON THE TRUCK'S INFO DISPLAY AS I WAS SLOWLY ABLE TO PULL INTO THE GAS STATION. AFTER USING THE E-BRAKE TO ASSIST IN BRINGING THE TRUCK TO A STOP, I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RAISED THE HOOD. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR LEVEL AND IT WAS WELL BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE AND WAS CLOSE TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO VISUALLY INSPECT FOR LEAKS OF ANY KIND FROM THE BRAKE LINES FOLLOWING THEM UP TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WITH NO PRESENCE OF ANY LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. I ADDED A TOTAL OF 2 QUARTS OF DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID TO THE RESERVOIR IN THE HOPES THAT MAYBE THE SYSTEM WAS JUST LOW SOMEHOW. I DROVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE PARK WE HAD JUST LEFT ONLY A LITTLE OVER A HALF MILE AWAY AND PARKED THE VEHICLE AS THE BRAKING WAS STILL GREATLY DIMINISHED. AS IT IS THE WEEKEND, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SERVICED. I HAVE CALLED THE FORD RECALL HELP LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2013-2014 F150 VEHICLE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE 3.5 ECOBOOST MODEL AND WAS BUILT USING THE IDENTICAL BRAKE COMPONENTS THAT WERE RECALLED BY FORD. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLIND

REAR SEAL ON BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND ALL FLUID WENT INTO BRAKE BOOSTER RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. THIS WAS A HUGE RECALL BUT DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE USED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS ON CITY STREET AND NARROWLY AVOIDED A CRASH AT AN INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MEL HAMBLETON FORD IN WICHITA KS. DIAGNOSED THERE AND CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED FOR APPROXIMATELY $800. RECALL DOES NOT COVER MY VIN NUMBER AND THERE IS NO WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KEN GRODY FORD CARLSBAD (LOCATED AT 5555 PASEO DEL NORTE, CARLSBAD, CA 92008, (760) 438-9171) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *TP

PERIODICALLY SPEEDOMETER STARTS MOVING ERRATICALLY AT CONSTANT SPEED. AS A RESULT OF THIS THE ENGINE STARTS SHIFTING GEARS RAPIDLY. THIS WEEK WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE SHIFTED ABRUPTLY FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING AND LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MCFARLAND FORD SALES (LOCATED AT 151 PORTSMOUTH AVE, EXETER, NH 03833, (603) 772-5953). THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED AND THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,500.

TRUCK GAVE "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" WARNING. ONLY 1 DAY LATER, A LOUD SQUEALING CAME FROM FRONT OF TRUCK, THEN LESS THAT 1 MINUTE LATER, ALL STEERING WAS OUT. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT WHILE TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THE NOISE CAME WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT. AS OF 6/18/2019, WHILE CHECKING MILEAGE FOR THIS REPORT, A WARNING OF "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE" CAME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED NICK NICHOLAS FORD INC (2901 FL-44, INVERNESS, FL 34453, (352) 726-1231) AND WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,030.

WHILE DRIVING, I HAD A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT COME ON. WHEN I APPROACHED THE NEXT INTERSECTION THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY HAVING USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I OPENED THE HOOD AND INSPECTED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I REMOVED THE CAP ON THE MASTER CYLINDER THE THERE WAS SUCTION IN THE RESERVOIR. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED AND THE BRAKE FLUID IS BEING SUCKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.

THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG TURNS ON AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE ERROR CODES RAN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS A MALFUNCTIONING WEIGHT SENSOR IN THE SEAT RAIL, WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THIS LIGHT COMING ON WILL NOT USUALLY SHUT OFF UNTIL THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF AND THEN IT WILL RESET. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APRIL OF 2019 AND HAS SLOWLY BECOME MORE CONSISTENT. I HAVE TAKEN A PHOTO OF EACH OCCURRENCE WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED TO BECOME MORE PERSISTENT. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS JUNE 7TH 2019. I HAVE IMAGES FROM MAY 9, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23 2019 AND JUNE 7 2019 WHERE IT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIVE STAR FORD LEWISVILLE (1144 N STEMMONS FWY, LEWISVILLE, TX 75067, 469- 470-4900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000.

THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. THERE IS A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND IMPAIRED STEERING. THE TRUCK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR MECHANIC AFTER HE DIAGNOSED IT THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS PART OF A RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 14S09/NHTSA RECALL 14V316. WE WERE THEN TOLD BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT OUR TRUCKS VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THAT MAKES NO SENSE THAT WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE EXACT PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING IS THE EXACT SAME THING THIS RECALL IS FIR BUT OUR TRUCK DOESN'T FALL UNDER IT. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY ON THE OFF RAMP. PRESSED BRAKES AND HAD NO BRAKES. I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO AVOID SMASHING INTO VEHICLES AT THE STOP LIGHT. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE STOPPED INTO A PARKING LOT. I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE FOR RECALLS. HAD A RECALL FOR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BLOWING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND DUE TO THE MILES, THEY GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE NHTSA RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE VEHICLE, OTHERWISE I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. (NEVER KNEW RECALLS WERE SUBJECT TO MILEAGE)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAMEROW FORD (LOCATED AT 12325 SW CANYON RD, BEAVERTON, OR 97005, (800) 732-8633) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FUSE NUMBER 27 NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

AFTER HITTING BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 30MPH AND THEN THE WOBBLE WILL STOP. WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, STABILIZER, BRAKES AND ROSTERS, NEW TIRES, AND BALANCES.

DRIVING ON I-10 IN ARIZONA PULLING A CAMPER ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. PULLED OVER, RESTARTED ENGINE, TRIED AGAIN, SHUT OFF AGAIN COUPLE MILES LATER. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL WE REACHED FORD DEALER. THEY FOUND FUEL SYSTEM MINI FUSE HAD MELTED IN FUSE PANEL. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE SINCE 2009-2014 TRUCKS. FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE A TSB FOR IT. THEY MOVE FUSE TO OPEN SLOT IN FUSE PANEL & PUT A HEAVIER FUSE THAT CAN HANDLE LOAD. NOT ONLY DID THIS COST ME $500. BUT ALSO PUT ME & MY FAMILY IN EXTREME DANGER (SHUT DOWN ON FREEWAY WITH 18WHEELERS NEXT TO US) SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE FORD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE CHECK F-150 FORUMS, MANY OTHERS. THANKS

DRIVING IN THE NEW ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER, AUDIBLE WARNING TONE AND VISUAL INDICATOR SAID "BRAKE FLUID LOW". ADDED ONE CONTAINER OF BRAKE FLUID, PROCEEDED 1/2 MILE. AGAIN, AUDIBLE WARNING AND VISUAL INDICATOR SHOWED LOW BRAKE FLUID. ADDED FLUID TO LINE IN CONTAINER. 1 MILE, SAME INDICATORS. UPON INSPECTION, ALL BRAKE FLUID HAS LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NO VISIBLE LEAK OR FLUID ON THE GROUND. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS FOR THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE BUT IT SUPPOSEDLY DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS VIN #. APPARENTLY IT SHOULD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MISFIRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE ECO BOOST.

ENGINE FAILURE - LIMP MODE - THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F-150 ECOBOOST THAT FORD AND NHTSA HAVE YET TO ADDRESS/ ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN A MONTH AND IT HAS TWICE NOW GONE INTO 'LIMP MODE'. MERGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE FAILED, A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER F150 OWNERS I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT THE DEALERSHIPS AND FORD KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT HAVE YET TO ADDRESS IT. I CHECKED THE SPARK PLUGS AND THEY WERE FROM THE FACTORY, YET GAPPED INCORRECTLY AS OTHERS HAVE STATED. THE THROTTLE BODY ALSO WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS HORRIBLE PRACTICE BY FORD AND NHTSA SHOULD ADDRESS THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE EVENTUALLY. I WILL BE GETTING RID OF THIS TRUCK IMMEDIATELY AND GETTING A RELIABLE TRUCK LIKE I HAD PREVIOUSLY.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. WRENCH APPEARING, TRUCK IN LIMP MODE, NO POWER WHEN ACCELERATING, EVEN WHILE IN PARK. TRUCK HAS 31,000 MILES.

I HAVE 45K MILES AND WAS DRIVING AND THE COMPRESSION FITTING ON THE TRANSMISSION HOSE AT THE RADIATOR SHEARED OFF. IT SPRAYED TRANSMISSION OIL ALL OVER ENGINE AND ROADWAY. THERE WAS A MOTORCYCLE BEHIND ME WHO LUCKILY DIDN'T GO DOWN DUE TO THE OIL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMSSION LINE AND FLUID. I ALSO NEEDED TO RENT A CAR SINCE I WAS OUT OF TOWN.

3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS THE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WITHOUT WARNING. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. WE THEN TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT ASA MASTER CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WITH 38 YEARS EXPERIENCE. HE INFORMED US THAT FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THROTTLE SYSTEM WAS CLEANED AND WE WILL SEE IF THIS CORRECTS ISSUE. MY PROBLEM IS WITH FORD AND DEALERSHIP THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THIS TO THE CUSTOMER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE TRUCK JUST STOPS WITH NO WARNING AT 70 MILES AN HOUR! FORD SHOULD TELL THE CUSTOMERS WHAT IS WRONG SO IT CAN BE FIXED INSTEAD OF HIDING THE PROBLEM. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND READ ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE (A BIG ORANGE WRENCH APPEARS IN DISPLAY WHEN IT HAPPENS). THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE AND MAY HAVE ALREADY DUE TO THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. IT'S AS IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM THEY ARE ADMITTING THERE IS ONE AND THEN BECOME LIABLE TO CORRECT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF IT.

THE SKID PLATE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAS INADEQUATE FASTENERS. THE FASTENERS DO NOT RETAIN THE SKID PLATE AND SKID PLATE WILL COME LOOSE. IN MY CASE THE SKID PLATE CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE AND FELL ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE BY A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. ITEMS FALLING OFF OF VEHICLES ONTO THE HIGHWAY IS A SAFETY CONCERN. ESPECIALLY WHEN SUCH ITEMS ARE LARGE AND DIFFICULT TO AVOID. I HAVE WRITTEN TO FORD WITH NO RESOLUTION OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM. PARTS SHOULD NOT BE FALLING OFF OF VEHICLES BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE OR INADEQUATE FASTENERS.

DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED OUT OF NO WHERE WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT. CAUSIG GLASS TO CUT MY SON.

THE CONNECTOR THAT PLUGS INTO THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS LOOSE AND GETS HOT CAUSING THE CONNECTION TO BE LOST IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS CONNECTOR. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND HEARD THAT THERE HAS BEEN TRUCKS CATCHING ON FIRE AND BURN TO THE GROUND. IF YOU COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME AT (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND DECELERATED AND A WRENCH ICON APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. I PULLED OVER LUCKILY SAFELY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT TURNED MY TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE AGAIN. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. HOPEFULLY MY FAMILY DOES NOT GET HARMED WITH THIS VEHICLE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE DOES WITH THIS ISSUE HAPPENING.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, TRYING TO CHANGE LANE TO EXIT THE ROAD, PRESS ON MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, THEN MY BRAKES LIGHT CAME ON, SAYING IAM LOW ON BRAKE FLUID, AND MY BREAKS DONT WORK, THE PEDAL WENT AL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOD. PUT ON MY HAZARDS LIGHT ON, AND LET THE TRUCK SLOW DOWN TO AN EXIT, VERY SLOW TO STOP WHILE DRIVING. FOUND OUT THERE A RECALL ON MY TRUCK, CALL FORD #, THEY TELL ME THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SERVICE BEFORE IN 2016, AND THERE ONLY ONE RECALL FIX PER VEHICLE. SO IAM OUT LUCK, THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN..AT MY OWN EXPENSE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND FAILED TO ENGAGE PAST THIRD GEAR. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS WHILE MOVING, FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST, ALL GAUGES GO TO ZERO BUT TRUCK DOES NOT POWER OFF. CAN ACCELERATE BUT DOES NOT PICK UP SPEED. SIMILAR SYMPTOMS FOR THE 2011-2013 F150 RECALL OUT NOW.

LEFT FOR WORK THIS MORNING (APRIL 29TH 2019). TEMP WAS 48, LEFT THE HOTEL AND TURNED ON REAR DEFROST, SMELLED A BURNING ELECTRONICS SMELL WITHIN ABOUT 2 MINUTES AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROST AND HEARD A LOUD POP AS I WAS TRAVELING AT 35MPH. I LOOKED BACK TO SEE MY DRIVERSIDE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED. CALLED FORD AND ASKED THEM IF THEY NEW OF ANYTHING, THEY JUST BRUSHED ME OFF. IM CONCERNED GREATLY MORE FOR THE ELECTRICAL SMELL EVEN THOUGH IM HIGHLY UPSET ABOUT THE WINDOW. I DONT WANT A VEHICLE FIRE. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT, NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM OR A CONSUMABLE. I AM THOROUGHLY CONVINCED FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS, BOTH MY WINDOW AND THE ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. I WORKED AT A DEALER AS A TECHNICIAN, IF MY TRUCK CATCHES FIRE, I WILL HIRE A LAWYER.

INITIAL STARTUP, VEHICLE IS COLD. STEERING HAS BINDING OCCURRING THAT INCREASES AND DECREASES AS THE WHEEL IS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION AS I AM DRIVING, AS IT IS TURNED FROM FULL LEFT TO RIGHT, OR RIGHT TO LEFT. IT REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL FORCE TO CONTINUE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GO IN THE DESIRED DIRECTION. AS VEHICLE WARMS UP, THE FORCE REQUIRED TO TURN THE WHEEL LESSENS, BUT STILL REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO STEER IN EITHER DIRECTION. IF IT BECAME NECESSARY TO MAKE AN AVOIDANCE MANEUVER, IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE FORCE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE IN THE NECESSARY DIRECTION. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 14,000 MILES. BEFORE 30,000 MILES HAD A SMALL RATTLE WHEN STARTING. ALWAYS FOLLOWED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. AT 92,000 MILES CODE P0016 COMES UP. TOOK IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT WAS TOLD TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED AND ALL 3.5 LITER ECO BOOSTS FROM 2011 TO 2014 HAVE DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS BUT FORD HASN'T RECALLED IT YET. APPARENTLY THEY HAVE SENT BULLETINS TO TECHNICIANS ON IT, ADMITTING DESIGN FLAWS. WHY NO RECALL!?

TRANSMISSION. SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT INTO LOWER GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A MOUNTAINOUS CANYON ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR. THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND AFTER SOME SECONDS CAUTIOUSLY SWITCHED THE GEAR SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE. FORTUNATELY, THE TRANSMISSION HAD RETURNED TO THE HIGHER GEAR, AND I PROCEEDED TO MY DESTINATION. I'M CONCERNED THAT FORD'S RECALL AFFECTING 2011-2013 MODEL YEARS FOR SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT, CRASH CONCERN MAY NOT BE BROAD ENOUGH SINCE MY 2014 MODEL YEAR APPEARS TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE; IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO A HIGHER GEAR I COULD HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS HAZARDS ON A STEEP, BUSY, AND WINDING CANYON ROAD AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THIS VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN DURING OPERATION ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE FIRST, WAS A MINOR REPAIR. THE SECOND, CAUSED OVER $11,000 IN DAMAGES, AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. EACH TIME IT OCCURS, THE LOSS OF POWER CAUSES A DECREASE IN THE ABILITY TO STEER AND ALL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE BEEN IN FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES AS WE HAVE HAD TO QUICKLY STEER THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND HOPE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WILL LOCKUP. IT WOULD LAST FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND THEN BE OK. THEN WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS OF AND ON TILL I STOP. THIS ALL HAPPENS NOW EVERY TIME I GO ANYWHERE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS MATTER ON THE 2014 F150 BUT FORD TELLS ME NOT ON MY TRUCK AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME AT ALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW AND WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED OUT THAT IS WHEN THE DEALER TOLD ME WHY IT IS HAPPENING. RECALL #14S09 (EPAS)

WHILE TURNING LEFT IT STARTED MAKING AN AWFUL NOISE THEN POPPED UP WITH STEERING ASSIST FAULT ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER

I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES ON MY WAY TO WORK, AND AS I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD POP, SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT. I GOT OUT AND REALIZED MY REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. I HAVE THE THREE PIECE, SLIDING WINDOW WITH DEFROST. THE DRIVER SIDE WAS SHATTERED. NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXPENSIVE WARRANTY, NOR COVERED BY FORD AS A RECALL, NOR COVERED BY INSURANCE WITHOUT A DEDUCTIBLE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, NO ROUGH ROADS. NOTHING.

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

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.

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.

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.
