2014 Ford F-150 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RODMAN FORD (53 WASHINGTON ST, FOXBOROUGH, MA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS ON THE DOORS STOPPED WORKING ON THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRICAL AND COULD EVENTUALLY IMPACT ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS IN THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THERE WAS A SHORT ON ONE OF THE DOORS - THEY REPLACED THE BCM AND DRIVER REAR DOOR LATCH WHICH COST $900. AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD, WE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. RECENTLY, WE READ OF A RECALL ON 2015-2017 FORD F-150 TRUCKS RELATED TO POTENTIAL DOOR PROBLEMS ('FROZEN DOOR LATCH OR BENT OR KINKED ACTUATION CABLE') AND WERE WONDERING IF THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM WE EXPERIENCED WITH OUR 2014 MODEL.

EXPLODING REAR GLASS - 45F EXTERNAL TEMP, TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER, AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HIT THE TRUCK WITH A BASEBALL BAT! I LOOK AROUND AND NOTICE THE DRIVERSIDE PORTION OF MY 3 SECTION POWER SLIDING REAR WINDSHIELD HAS SHATTERED. AFTER CALLING A REPAIR PLACE I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, SOUNDS LIKE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IS FAULTY REAR DEFROST ELEMENTS GETTING TOO HOT AND CAUSING THE GLASS TO SHATTER IN COLD WEATHER. TRUCK RAN FOR A FEW MINUTES IN THE DRIVEWAY BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK. GLASS SHATTERED ABOUT A MILE INTO THE DRIVE WHILE GOING AROUND 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET (BARKER CYPRESS IN CYPRESS, TX TO BE EXACT).

POWER STEERING WENT OUT SUDDENLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS , LUCKILY I WAS GOING STRAIGHT. MILAGE 67,953

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH TRUCK NOT STARTING. TOOK TRUCK TO FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WILL NEED TO INSTALLL A FUEL PUMP FUSE RELOCATION KIT. I ASKED THE REASON WHY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS FUSE WILL CONTINUE TO SHORT OUT UNTIL THE KIT WAS INSTALLED. TRUCK IS THREE YEARS OLD AND FUSE LOCATION OR SOME PROBLEM EXISTS THAT WILL SHUT DOWN FUEL PUMP. NO RECALL AND NO WARRANTY? TRUCK WOULD NOT START FOR ME ABOUT 10 TO 15 DIFFERENT TIMES. I'M GLAD THE FUSE DID NOT SHORT OUT WHILE DRIVING. NO DAMAGE OTHER THEN MY TIME AND $330.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR "KIT" FROM FORD.

THE REAR DOOR LOCKS, LOCK SOMETIME AND DON'T OTHERS. IT NOW IS STARTING NOT TO UNLOCK AS WELL. IT IS BOTH OF THE REAR DOORS. WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO GET OUT THEY HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN FROM OUTSIDE. LET'S PRAY THAT THERE IS NOT AN EMERGECY AND MY KIDS HAVE TO GET AND THE WINDOW WANT COME DOWN.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER TURNING ON REAR DEFROST. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME.

DRIVING AT 55 MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL. TOUCHED BRAKE TO DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL AND PRESSED ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO PASS A SLOW VEHICLE WHEN PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ENGINE RACED. I HAD TO PRESS BRAKES WITH ALL MY MIGHT TO SLOW VEHICLE TO 45 MPH AND IT KEPT CLIMBING AND PEDAL WOULD NOT COME UP AND ENGINE SPEED WOULD NOT SLOW. PRESSED OFF BUTTON FOR CRUISE CONTROL AND NOTHING CHANGED. FINALLY AFTER 5 MILES HEARD A POP AND THE PEDAL CAME UP AND ENGINE SPEED DROPPED TO IDLE. COULD NOT STOP EARLIER AS 2 LANE HWY. WITH NO SHOULDER. GUARD RAIL AND RIVER ON RIGHT AND MOUNTAIN CLIFFS ON LEFT SIDE. BROUGHT TO DEALER WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG THEY STATED.

TRUCK IS A 2014 F150 5.0V8 WITH ~50K MILES. WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ~65MPH, BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I TEST THE BRAKES BY GENTLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT PEDAL CONTINUES WITH NO RESISTANCE NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. BRAKES ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AND WOULD HAVE ZERO ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I THROW ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND CUT TO THE SHOULDER AND HAVE TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS AS I WAS IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I POPPED THE HOOD AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR IS COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER INSPECTING ALL BRAKE LINES FRONT AND REAR AND CHECKING ALL BLEEDER SCREWS ARE CLOSED, NO VISUAL LEAKS ARE PRESENT. AS I WAS 100 MILES FROM HOME DRIVING MY WIFE AND CHILD HOME AT NIGHT, I HAD SOMEONE BRING ME SOME BRAKE FLUID TO TOP OFF THE RESERVOIR. AFTER FILLING THE RESERVOIR AND BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKES, BRAKES SEEM TO STAY TIGHT. I DRIVE ~10 MILES AND THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT FLASHES AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PULL OVER AGAIN AND NOTICE ZERO FLUID AGAIN. VISUALLY INSPECT ALL LINES, MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER, ETC., NO EVIDENCE OF LEAKS. TOP OFF THE RESERVOIR TO LIMP THE VEHICLE TO A SAFER LOCATION. NOTICE THE ENGINE STARTING TO SPUTTER AND FLUID COMPLETELY GONE IN ANOTHER ~10 MILES. OBVIOUSLY THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED AND IS LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER WHICH IS AFFECTING THE VACUUM IN THE BOOSTER. THESE ARE THE EXA

MAIN WIRE HARNESS IS ROUTED OUTSIDE.OF THE FRAME RAILS. MUD IS PULLING THE WIRE HARNESS OFF OF THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE MANUFACTURED ON 02/28/2014, FORD RECALL 14C10 STARTED THE NEXT DAY. NHTSA # 14V710000. TRUCKS PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR ERRORS ON DASH AND STATES TO REMOVE OBJECT FROM AROUND THE SEAT, THERE ARE NO OBJECTS. ALL RESEARCH INDICATES THE SEAT GAP IS NOT CORRECT AND CAUSES ERROR FROM IMPROPER ASSEMBLY. ERROR IS INTERMITTENT BUT PERSISTENT DISABLING THE PASS AIRBAG.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON AND HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE DEFROSTER SHATTERED THE LEFT REAR SECTION OF THE SLIDING REAR WINDOW. FORD HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND UNWILLING TO HELP.

MY TIRE SPEC AND PRESSURE LABEL IS INCORRECT, COLD PSI IS SHOWN AT 55 PSI FRONT AND 60 PSI REAR AND THE TPMS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE IF UNDER 55 AND 60. ALL LOCAL FORD SERVICE ADVISERS SAY IT SHOULD BE 35PSI. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF VIBRATION ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND FEEL THIS HAS PUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK NOT TO MENTION THE PREMATURE WEAR ON MY TIRES AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS.

MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WHILE TOWING AN ENCLOSED AUTO TRAILER ON THE HIGHWAY -- LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER TO AN EMERGENCY STOP AT A SERVICE STATION AND REFILL THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR (IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY). IT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN ONCE BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. I MADE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, ONLY BEING ABLE TO SLOW AND STOP THE VEHICLE USING THE BRAKES ON THE TRAILER. THE DEALER FOUND THAT ALL THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER -- THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR WHICH FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON SIMILAR MAKES/MODELS (MANF. RECALL NUMBER: 16S24). THEY WERE ABLE TO SOURCE A NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY. NOTE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL FORD BRAKE RECALL, BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MY WIFE AND I WERE EXPOSED TO A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF FORD HAD WIDENED THE RECALL TO OTHER MODELS.

I HAVE REPLACED TWO (2) ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODIES (ETB'S) ON THIS VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 68,000 MILES. COSTS TO ME HAVE BEEN OVER $600 NOT INCLUDING TRAVEL AND INCONVENIENCE EXPENSES. (LAST REPLACEMENT WAS UNDER "EXTENDED WARRANTY" WHICH I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED HAD FORD ADVISED ME OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE NHTSA.) ON 4MARCH2014 THE NHTSA REPORTEDLY REACHED AN AGREEMENT WITH FORD TO AVOID A RECALL BECAUSE THEY WOULD EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY FOR UP TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FOR ETB PROBLEMS. I SURE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THIS! THE PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, USUALLY ON A 65 MPH TWO LANE ROAD, AND RESULTED IN THE TRUCK ENTERING "LIMP MODE". THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 15 TIMES OVER THE TWO ETB'S AND REQUIRED A TOW WITH THE LATEST EPISODE. WITH THE LATEST PROBLEM, IT TOOK 3 VISITS TO FORD DEALERS, OVER 490 MILES, WITH THE TRUCK ONLY; PLUS A TOW ($416) AND OVER 392 MILES ON MY WIFE'S CAR (SHE FOLLOWED ME DURING THE LAST TWO VISITS). I CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WITH EACH THE LAST FORD DEALER VISITS (3 IN TOTAL) AS AN ETB FAILURE, AND NEITHER DEALER WOULD BELIEVE ME UNTIL THEY SAW THE PROBLEM ON THE COMPUTER. THE "LIMP MODE" IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY! WE LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO AND MUST CROSS A PASS (ABOUT 10,000 FEET) TO GET TO A FORD DEALER. TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT WILL ONLY GO ABOUT A MILE OR SO, BEFORE AGAIN ENTERING "LIMP MODE" IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FOOLISH. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD, WITH BOTH ETB'S, THE

STARTED VEHICLE IN MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK, ONLY TO SEE THE BRAKE FLUID LOW INDICATED ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. SELECTED OK, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. OPENED HOOD AND CHECKED MASTER CYLINDER FLUID RESERVOIR AND FOUND IT ALMOST EMPTY. CONTACTED JOE COOPER FORD, YUKON AND TALKED WITH SERVICE MANAGER. HE INDICATED THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING FLUID PAST THE SEAL. HE SUGGESTED THE VEHICLE BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR ANALYSIS AS FORD HAS A RECALL ON THIS VERY ISSUE. TECH PULLED MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND BRAKE BOOSTER FILLED WITH BRAKE FLUID. SERVICE ADVISOR SUGGESTED MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF APPROX. $750.00. WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT WARRANTY, I WAS ADVISED MY MODEL DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA AS CURRENTLY POSTED BY FORD AS MY VEHICLE IS A 5.0L NOT A 3.8L V-6. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER DUE TO CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION, THE ADVISOR WAS UNSURE WHAT TO DO. HE SUGGESTED I COMMUNICATE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT BOTH THE REPAIR METHOD AND COSTS. AFTER REVIEWING THE RECALL I FOUND FORD RECOMMENDS; IF THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD ANY FLUID BOTH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER SHOULD BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO DISCUSS THE OPTIONS AND COMPLETE THE REPAIR. I AM REQUESTING THE PARTS BE RETURNED TO FORD FOR WARRANTY EVALUATION/CONSIDERATION. I CANNOT LOGICALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THE ENGINE TYPE MAKES A DIFFERENCE ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I AM AWAITING A REPORT FROM FORD ON THIS MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE OCCUPANT ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DROVE OFF THE ROAD. THE OCCUPANT SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. NEITHER A POLICE NOR A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (CROSSROADS FORD LOCATED AT 1010 OLD US HIGHWAY SOUTHERN PINES, NC 28387) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 12964409. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MY TRUCK SAID IT WAS LOW IN FLUID. THOUGHT THAT I COULD GET TO MY DESTINATION SO THAT I CAN BUY MORE BRAKE FLUID SO THAT MY TRUCK WOULD BE OK. DURING GETTING TO MY DESTINATION MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME 850 IN PARTS AND LABOR. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAS 36000 MILES. WHAT WOULD HAPPENED IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING FASTER. I'VE COULD CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT FOR SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T DO. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ECO BOOST AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER THAT WENT BAD. I'VE REVERED OWNED A VEHICLE THAT'S EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEARBY DEALER (BARNES ENTERPRISES LOCATED AT 272 W MAIN ST, EAST BROOKFIELD, MA 01515; (508) 867-7413) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-392-3673 AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GET THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

LOSS OF POWER IN 2014 F150 ECOBOOST. THE PLUGS WERE CHANGED OUT AT 30,000 AND THEY WERE COVERED IN OIL. I HAVE NOTICED THE ENGINE STRUGGLING MORE WHEN I TOW UTV WITH SINLGE AXLE TRAILER. THE POWER IS DIMENISHING WITH MILEAGE. THE OIL (SYNTHETIC) IS CHANGED EVERY 3,000 AN ITS IS SPENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FROM FORD WHY MY TRUCK AT COLD START IDLES RUFF, DECREASE IN GAS MILEAGE AND NOTICED DECREASE IN TORQUE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND TURNING A CORNER, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER (ABERLE FORD 1025 MAIN STREET, SABETHA, KS 66534) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V316000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000. ...UPDATED 10/19/17 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*JS

REMOTED STARTED MY F150 AS I NORMALLY WOULD IN THE MORNING. ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO HEAR CRACKING, LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW AND NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE LOWER CORNER. ENTER THE TRUCK BED TO GET A BETTER LOOK AND THE RUBBER IN THE LOWER CORNER WAS BURNING AND MELTING. SHUT TRUCK OFF. IT APPEARS THE REAR DEFROSTER MALFUNCTIONED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. NO RECALL AND THEY DID NOT TAKE THE ISSUE VERY SERIOUSLY.

F-150 AT 34,000 MILES, UNDER WARRANTY, AND ONLY SERVICED BY FORD MECHANICS - WHEN TOWING 6,500 LB TRAILER I RECEIVE MESSAGE "TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING POWERING DOWN". TRUCK THEN GEARS ITSELF DOWN AND DOES NOT EXCEED 45 MPH. THIS CONSISTENTLY NOW OCCURS WHEN ENGINE TEMPERATURE HITS 215. WHEN TOWING I CAN NOT EXCEED 55 MPH OR TEMPERATURE IMMEDIATELY CLIMBS TO 215 AND TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LET ENGINE COOL. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN MAY 2017 AND HAS NEVER PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED. COURTESY FORD IN POCATELLO, ID REPEATEDLY STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND REFUSES TO TAKE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I HAVE CANCELLED SEVERAL CAMPING VACTIONS FOR MY FAMILY AS I FEAR TRUCK WILL SUFFER A SEVERE BREAKDOWN AND COURTESY FORD WILL AGAIN REFUSE TO HONOR WARRANTY SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID SENSOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. MOMENTS LATER, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP. THE DRIVER USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO REDUCE THE SPEED AND STOP THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF BRAKE FLUID LEAKING. AFTER REFILLING THE RESERVOIR WITH FLUID, THE BRAKES APPEARED TO WORK MOMENTARILY BEFORE THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND COASTED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AROUND IN A CIRCLE BACK TO A PARKING SPOT TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK IN ORDER TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED OR MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH ON I-25 IN NEW MEXICO. IT WAS VERY SCARY TRYING TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER IN TRAFFIC WILL NO ENGINE POWER APPARENTLY AVAILABLE. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO MORE OCCASIONS BEFORE THE DEALER COULD SEE THE VEHICLE. SUBSEQUENTLY LEARNED THAT WHAT THE PU DID WAS ENTER THE "LIMP HOME" MODE. WHEN THE DEALER FINALLY LOOKED AT THE ERROR CODES IN THE TRUCKS MEMORY, THE CAUSE WAS A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB). IT'S REPLACEMENT HAS RESOLVED THE ISSUE AT LEAST FOR NOW.

IN MOTION AT 70MPH ENGINE LOST POWER VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FLASHED FOR 30 SECONDS AND WENT OUT. DEALERSHIP SHOWS NO CODES OR PROBLEMS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON TWO LANE HIGHWAYS. THIS IS A 3.5 V6 ECOBOOST FORD ENGINE,

2014 FORD F150 ECOBOOST NO POWER. I WAS STOPPED IN CENTER TURN LANE WAITING TO TURN LEFT ACROSS ON COMING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. AFTER IT WAS SAFE TO CROSS I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR I DISCOVERED MY F150 HAD NOT POWER. GAS PEDAL HAD NO RESPONSE. TRUCK WOULD ONLY MOVE AT IDEAL SPEED. VERY CLOSE TO GETTING T-BONED. THE SERVICE WRENCH SHOWED UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE TRUCK HAD A VERY ROUGH IDEAL AS I CREEPED OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER THAT HAD JUST REPAIRED THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAM SHAFT PHASERS THE WEEK PRIOR. DEALER RAN SEVERAL TESTS AND FOUND NO CODES. THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY AFTER CHECKING OASIS AND FOUND MULTIPLE HOTLINE CONTACTS WITH SIMILAR CONCERNS. WHEN PULLING TRUCK INTO SERVICE BAY THE THROTTLE BODY STUCK PARTIALLY CLOSED. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO NOT GET HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME. YOUTUBE VIDEO (2014-11-02 -2013 F150 LIMP MODE) BY MIKE WILES SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY TRUCK. PLEASE HAVE FORD RECALL THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

MY SON AND I PURCHASED A FORD F150 AT THE SAME TIME, AND HE NOW HAS 60K MILES, AND HIS AUTO THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT IN TRAFFIC, AND WAS CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORD CHARGED HIM ABOUT $500 TO REPLACE IT, HE TOLD THEM THIS SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL, FOR THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS , AND THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE. WHERE IN THE WORLD DO THEY COME OFF SAYING THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM TO REPLACE MINE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHILE PASSING ANOTHER CAR. WHAT CAN I DO.

LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID CRASH

MY DOOR LATCH AND STRIKER ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE DOOR RATTLES GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. MY CONCERN IS IT SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM WITH MY FORD FUSION. THE DEALERSHIP IN REQUESTING $535 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. DRIVERS DOOR

OVER THE COURSE OF TWO DAYS THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED GETTING SPONGY AND RAPIDLY PROGRESSED TO "GOING TO THE FLOOR". AT THIS POINT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE, THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE AND THE RESERVOIR LEVEL LOOKS OK.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH STEERING BECAME STIFF AND AFTER TAKING A TURN WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER POSITION. VEHICLE HAS 37,000 MILES. IM SEEING THAT THIS IS A COMMON RECALL ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING GEARS BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS POSES A SEVERE RISK TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER OTHER VEHICLES. IMO

THIS PICKUP TRUCK, OWNED AND OPERATED BY A PUBLIC UTILITY, WAS INVOLVED IN A LOW SPEED FRONT END COLLISION ON A CITY STREET. THE INCIDENT INVOLVED THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE F-150 MAKING ABRUPT CONTACT WITH THE REAR BUMPER AND TAILGATE OF A NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE DRIVER OF EITHER VEHICLE AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED INITIALLY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE COLLISION, THE TRUCK WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED OFF, AND THE 4-WAY FLASHERS WERE TURNED ON. THE KEYS WERE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AND THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION WITH THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. WHILE THE DRIVERS WERE EXCHANGING INFORMATION, APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AFTER THE COLLISION, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK ERUPTED IN FLAMES, WHICH WERE REPORTED TO HAVE STARTED IN THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT SEAT CONSOLE. THE INSIDE OF THE CAB WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, AND THE FIRE SPREAD TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND BED. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED QUICKLY, BUT THE TRUCK SUFFERED SEVERE FIRE DAMAGE.

2014 FORD F-150 LOOSES POWER AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2016 BECAUSE OF SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID I'M OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY SERVICE REPAIRS. I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING WITH A TRAILER AND IT QUIT DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TRYING TO FINE A SPOT TO PULL OVER. I WAS IN THE FORT PITT TWO MILE TUNNEL IN PITTSBURGH WHEN THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK. SCREECHING TIRES AND HORNS BLOWING I LIMPED IT OUT OF THE TUNNEL. WHERE I FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OVER. WHAT CAN I DO? FRUSTRATED FORD CUSTOMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE PREMATURELY CRACKED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE DEALER (BENNA FORD ROUSH SUPERIOR, 3022 TOWER AVE, SUPERIOR, WI 54880, (715) 394-8669) INSPECTED THE LUG NUTS AND INDICATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE TO DETERMINE A RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY FAILED. FORD DOES HAVE A RECALL ON CERTAIN TRUCKS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT THIS VEHICLE. TRUCK WAS IN MOTION IN GREENFIELD MASS. ON INTERSTATE 91

THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOOSE OF BRAKING IE THE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND A CHECK OF THE MASTER CYLINDER SHOWED ALL FLUID WAS GONE, THIS HAPPEN AFTER I PARKED THE TRUCK ... ADDED A PINT AND CONTINUED TO MY APPOINTMENT (2 MILES) AFTER PARKING ... I HAD NO BRAKES AGAIN ... CALLED TOW TRUCK AND HAD TRUCK TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR, UNDER WARRENTY ... ONLY 11,771 MILES ON THE TRUCK ... LUCKLY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR MIGHT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT

PLEASE SEE A PORTION OF MY JUN16 MESSAGE THAT I SENT TO FORD CONCERNING A ?DOOR LOCK? PROBLEM WITH BOTH TRUCKS THAT I OWN. BOTH TRUCKS NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS-SIDE READ DOORS. THE JU16 RESPONSE I RECEIVED FROM FORD WAS ESSENTIALLY THAT ?WE DON?T HAVE A RECALL NOTICE IN PLACE YET?. I FIND THAT RESPONSE LACKING A PROPER LEVEL OF CONCERN. I ENDED UP REPAIRING BOTH PROBLEMS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. ========================= JUN15 MESSAGE TO FORD: MY 2013 FORD F150 LARIAT (VIN [XXX]) HAS A REAR RIGHT DOOR THAT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO (I.E; MID-APRIL 2016). MY 2014 FORD F150 LIMITED (VIN [XXX]) NOW HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME DOOR (THIS STARTED ABOUT MID-MAY 2016). MY WIFE HAD A PASSENGER IN HER LARIAT (THE MID-APRIL 2016 POINT WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTED) AND THE PASSENGER COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE TRUCK. IT WAS ONLY UNTIL MY WIFE UNLOADED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MATERIAL FROM THE REAR-LEFT SEAT THAT THE PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE TRUCK. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. REGARDLESS, I WAS ABLE TO FIND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OPEN SOURCE INFORMATION THAT DESCRIBED THIS SYSTEMIC PROBLEM (WHICH OCCURS NOT ONLY ON F150 TRUCKS), THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (BAD WIRING WORKMANSHIP) AND THE CORRECTIVE ACTION (REWORK THE WIRING). WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL

VEHICLE IS A 2014 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW 4X4, EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST V6, AND 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE SUFFERED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM. PARKED AT A STORE, WHEN WE WENT TO LEAVE, THE BRAKES FELT SOFT, TRIED TO STOP IN THE PARKING LOT AND HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. SHUT OF AND INSPECTED VEHICLE AND FOUND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER TO BE EMPTY, CHECKED ALL AROUND AND UNDER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS, THEN PULLED THE VACUUM LINE FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT WAS FULL OF BRAKE FLUID. RESTARTED VEHICLE, HELD BRAKE PEDAL TO FLOOR AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, IT WAS ABLE TO MOVE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESISTANCE, I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE MOVEMENT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TWO MILES TO LOCAL FORD DEALER.

I PREVIOUSLY FILES A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS BEING DONE, IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE LEAD FRAME THAT HAS GONE BAD. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RECALL OF THE 2011-2012 F150'S NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 16V248000 AND FORD RECALL CAMPAIGN# 16S19. OUR VEHICLE HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION 6R80 AND WAS BUILT IN THE DEARBORN MICHIGAN PLANT. OUR VEHICLE WAS UNFORTUNATELY OUT OF WARRANTY BY 400 MILES ON THIS ISSUE SO WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FROM 2016 AND I HAVE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH TO SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ALL OVER THE INTERNET COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN THE 2014 F150'S. MAYBE FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE 2014'S FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!!! THIS ISSUE CAUSED OUR VEHICLE AT 55 MPH TO COME TO A SKIDDING HALT ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY!! WE COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!

ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO A DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 55 MPH. THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR, REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY FORD F150'S. SAW A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME THING BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2011 AND 2012 FORD F150'S. ALL OWNERS FELT THAT THEIR YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL. I FEEL THAT THE 2014 SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY 2014 IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE 2011 AND 2012'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. I ONLY HAVE 60K HIGHWAY MILES ON THIS TRUCK!! BELOW YOU ASK FOR DATES OF THIS HAPPENING. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS IGNORED THIS. I WILL POST THE MOST RECENT DATE THAT IT HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHILE PASSING OTHER VEHICLES. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS NOT CALCULATING CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE IN 2014. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,620.

IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS I HAVE HAD TO ADD OVER 1 1/2 QTS OF BRAKE FLUID.THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF ANY LEAKAGE.THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING WENT OFF 2 FRIDAYS IN A ROW. I CHECKED THE LEVEL ON THE 3RD FRIDAY AN IT WAS LOW AGAIN.I JUST CHECKED NOW IT IS LOW AGAIN.

THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST STOPPED WORKING. 3 FORD DEALERSHIPS INDICATED THIS IS WIDESPREAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. WITH SNOW STICKING TO THE WINDOW, VISIBILITY FOR REVERSING TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES, OBSTACLES AND PEDESTRIANS IS GREATLY REDUCED. A VEHICLE THIS LARGE, EVEN WITH REAR CAMERA AND MIRRORS SHOULD HAVE THE BEST VISIBILITY POSSIBLE.

CPSC:PURCHASED NEW VEHICLE IN 2014 FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY. AT MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED TIRE REPLACEMENT INTERVAL, ONE OF THE RIMS WAS FOUND TO HAVE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. UPDATED 4/15/2017*JS

OWN A 2014 F-150 SINCE KNEW 63000 MILES ON IT NOW PUT NEW TIRES ON IT AT 50100 MILES IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 A THOUSAND MILES INTO THE NEW TIRES BEGAN TO HEAR A HOWLING NOSE FROM WHAT SEEMED TO BE THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE. THE HOWLING NOSE WAS MOSTLY HEARD WHILE IN COLD WEATHER AND IN MOTION. TOOK IT BACK TO THE TIRE GUY WHO PULLED EVERYTHING FOR THE INSPECTION AND FOUND NOTHING AND REFERRED ME BACK TO FORD. TOOK IT TO FORD WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS UNFORTUNATELY A SOMEWHAT COMMON ACCURANCE ON THESE F-150 THE PROBLEM (IWE INTEGRATED WHEEL END) IT SEEMS A RUBBER BOOT OF SORTS DOESN'T CONTRACT OR INFLATE AS IT SHOULD CAUSING GRINDING OF THE GEARS IN THE WHEEL HUB WHICH COULD RESULT IN WHEELS FALLING OFF TILTING OR BEING DISENGAGED FROM THE HUB CAUSING WHAT COULD BE A GREAT DEAL OF HARM. IF THE SERVICE AGENT HADN'T TOLD ME THAT THIS WASN'T A COMMON PROBLEM I WOULDN'T BE WRITING TO YOU, IF HE HADN'T TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 60K MILES WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO HIM AT 59900 AND DROVE THE EXTRA MILES JUST TO GET TO HIM WHEN I COULD HAVE GONE TO A FORD DEALER CLOSER AND STAYED UNDER THE 60K AND BEEN COVERED, STILL THERE SEEMS TO A PROBLEM HERE CONCERNING THIS WHEEL PART THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY.
