2014 Ford F-150 complaints

WHILE DRIVING TRUCK AND TAKING OFFRAMP TO SERVICE ROAD , PUSHED BRAKES AND THEY WERE HARD , NO RESPONSE . GOT TRUCK OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT A COLLISION , HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A VACUUM PUMP ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM . TRUCK HAD 21,500 MILES . 3 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN SAME THING HAPPENED . HAD TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS AT NOW WAITING FOR A DIAGNOSIS ON REPAIR . HOW CAN THIS BE SAME FOR BRAKES TO FAIL SO OFTEN WITHOUT A RECALL FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY ??? *JS

DRIVER SIDE REAR BED WINDOW SHATTERED, WHILE STANDING STILL IN MY DRIVEWAY. COLD MORNING AND THE REMOTE STARTUP WAS USED TO WARM UP TRUCK. I ASSUME THE TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON DEFROSTERS WHEN IT SENSES CERTAIN OUTSIDE TEMPS. WENT OUT TO TRUCK WHILE IT WAS RUNNING, LOADED SOME THINGS IN, CLOSED THE DOOR AND HEARD A LOAD POP. COULDN'T SEE WHAT MADE SOUND AT TIME AND WENT BACK INT THE HOUSE. CAME BACK OUT AND GOT INTO THE TRUCK TO GO TO WORK AND LOOKED THROUGH REAR WINDOW AND SAW THAT GLASS WAS SHATTERED.

ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR FAILURE AT 36,700 MILES. TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING WHILE TRYING TO PARK AT A RESTURANT.. THANK GOD I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT HAPPENED. WHILE AT DEALER (JONES FORD NORTH CHARLESTON SC) ANOTHER F-150 TOWED IN WITH SAME PROBLEM. FORD REPLACED ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE MAY OCCUR AGAIN. IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE?

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION EVENT, 2014 FORD F150, 5.0 L V-8. NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. OCCURRED 10/27/15 AT APPROX. 2 PM IN SPRING HILL FLORIDA, 80 DEGREES AND RAINING. EXPERIENCED SUDDEN FULL OPEN THROTTLE CONDITION WHEN BRAKING THE VEHICLE AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING STALL AT A BANK. BRAKE RESTRAINED THE VEHICLE FROM LUNGING FORWARD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UNTIL I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. ACCELERATION WAS SUFFICIENT TO SPIN THE TIRES ON THE DAMP PAVEMENT. IN NEUTRAL THE THROTTLE WENT TO MAX RPM FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS, THEN SLOWED TO IDLE. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT IN USE AND FLOOR MAT WAS NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE CHECKED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON FRI 10/30. MY PASSENGER IS A WITNESS.

FRONT WINDSHIELD 2 SMALL CRACKS DEVELOPED. ONE DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD APPROX. 1" HORIZATAL AND THE OTHER 1" FRONT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. CRACKS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING, NO IMPACTS FROM ROCKS OR DEBRIE DIDN'T OCCUR.

AS AS I EXITING I-95 ONTO AN OFF RAMP IN A 2014 F-150 (GOING ABOUT 45MPH AT THE TIME OF BREAKING) I STARTED TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO SLOW TO AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO MAKE A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVED TURN. WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS, MY STEERING LOCKED UP, AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO SCREECH. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY STEERING AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I WAS PUTTING ON THE BREAK PEDAL. WHILE I DID EVENTUALLY STOP, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY REAR ENDED SOMEONE IF THEY WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THANKFULLY I HAD AN OPEN LANE. ONCE I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND INSPECT MY VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD SIGNAL AN ISSUE, SO I DROVE IT HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO IF THE SYSTEM WAS NOT REGISTERING ANY ERRORS AND THE TRUCK WAS (CURRENTLY) PERFORMING NORMAL. ADDITIONALLY, ABOUT 1 MONTH PRIOR, AS I WAS ACCELERATING AND THEN BEGAN TO BRAKE DUE TO A STOP LIGHT CHANGE, THE BRAKE PETAL BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND THE CAR MADE A 3 SECOND GRINDING SOUND UNTILL I LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND AGAIN PERFORMED NORMALLY THEREAFTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE TRAVELING 10 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE.

WENT TO PICK UP MY CHILD AT SCHOOL TRUCK RAN FINE CAME OUT WILL NOT START WAIT 30 MIN.IT STARTED DROVE HOME.WENT TO START TRUCK WILL NOT..GET MESSAGE FROM TRUCK WILL NOT START.

BRAKES DO NOT ALWAYS REACT AS THEY SHOULD WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL. 1-2 SEC. DELAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR CAME ON. PULLED OVER, TOPPED OFF BRAKE FLUID. HAD TO PURCHASE 24OZ OF FLUID TO GET IT TO LEVEL. DROVE ANOTHER 20 MILES. INDICATOR CAME BACK ON. ADDED 12OZ MORE OF FLUID AND MADE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES AT ALL. NO SIGN OF LEAK ANYWHERE. NO FLUID ON DRIVEWAY. VANISHING FLUID? NOT SURE HOW MY TRUCK CAN HIDE 36OZ+ OF BRAKE FLUID IF IT'S NOT IN THE RESERVOIR.

STARTED VEHICLE AND PUSHED ON BRAKE TO SWITCH TO REVERSE, WARNING MESSAGE THAT VEHICLE WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID. VERIFIED BY LOOKING AT MASTER CYLINDER, ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND STARTED DRIVING. WITHIN 3 MILES SAME MESSAGE, PARKED VEHICLE CALLED FORD. THEY PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND CALLED ME LATER TO ADVISE THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER SUCKED ALL THE FLUID INTO IT. THEY BOTH NEEDED REPLACED AS WELL AS OTHER BRAKE RELATED STUFF. I RESEARCHED AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I AM JUST LUCKY I WASNT ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE RAIN. I PUT THE REAR DEFROST ON TO HELP CLEAR THE MIRRORS. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES I HEARD A LOUD BANG AS IF SOMETHING LANDED ON MY ROOF. I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED. I HAVE A CAP ON THE BED OF THE TRUCK, SO NOTHING COULD HAVE HIT IT FROM THE OUTSIDE.

WHILE CHECKING ENGINE OIL NOTICED A "SUCKING" NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND NOTED IT WAS EMPTY. ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL DOT 4 FLUID UP TO THE MIN MARK AND WITHIN 30 MINUTES IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN. TRACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES AND INSPECTED THE BRAKE CALIPERS AND NO LEAKS NOTED. WENT TO START THE TRUCK TO MOVE IT AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN PRESSED WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO OTHER SIGNS OF BRAKE ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS POINT. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND COLLECTING THERE HENCE NO VISIBLE LEAKAGE. FORTUNATELY THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY, BUT IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON THE ROAD WHO KNOWS WHAT THE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN. THE TRUCK HAS ~21,800 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER 2014 WITH A BUILD DATE IN AUGUST 2014. QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS TURNED UP SIMILAR INSTANCES WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND ~ MILEAGE.

BRAKES SUDDENLY FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY, HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER AND IT TURNED OUT THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER COMPONENT FLOODED WITH BRAKE FLUID WHICH IS A MAYOR FAILURE AND IS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, EVEN THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SAWGRASS FORD AGREES WITH THAT ASSESSMENT. DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND OUT THIS COMPONENT HAS FAILED AROUND THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE PART'S SAFETY. I'VE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT THE STATE OF FLORIDA ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND NOW I'M DOING THE SAME WITH YOU. THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THIS PART REPRESENTS A VERY GRAVE SAFETY SITUATION AS THE BRAKES ARE WITHOUT A WARNING COMPLETELY DISABLED ONCE IT HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT REPLENISHED THE BRAKE FLUID IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER BRAKING CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

AT APPROXIMATELY 12,600 MILES ON MY NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED BRAKE VIBRATION, A HESITATION AND JERK IN TRANSMISSION AT LOW ACCELERATING SPEED OR SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING, AND A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM REAR END BETWEEN 60-65 MILES PER HOUR. I TOOK IT TO RIVER CITY FORD AND THEY TURNED THE ROTORS FOR THE BRAKES. I TOLD RIVER CITY FORD THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE AND BY TURNING THE ROTORS THEY JUST REDUCED THE LIFE OF THE ROTORS FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED ALSO. I CONTACTED FORD CORP AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY ACTION AND WOULD NOT LET ME TALK TO ANYONE HIGHER THAN A CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR. RIVER CITY FORD HAS HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP SINCE 7/20/2015. THEY HAVE TRIED SHIMMING RING AND PINION IN REAR END AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE TRIED VARIOUS THINGS AND HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY CLAIM THAT ADDING GREASE TO THE TRANSMISSION SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING. FORD CORP HAS WASTED A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM BY FORD. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THE REAR END ISSUE HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS AND MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. BRAKE VIBRATION, TRANSMISSION JERKING, AND LOUD HUMMING FROM THE REAR END ARE ALL SAFETY ISSUES, THAT IF A FAILURE OCCURS, COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AT HIGH SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO PULL TO THE LEFT AND THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CORNER OF THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE AND BRAKES SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY THROW PARTS AT IT AND IT DOES NOT FIX IT. AT BEGINNING OF ACCELERATION THERE IS A DEAD SPOT IN THE THROTTLE AND WHEN YOU PUSH PAST IT SLIGHTLY YOU FIND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES RAPIDLY AND SOMETIMES SPINS THE DRIVE TIRES. A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS PULLING OUT INTO A BREAK IN TRAFFIC THAT WAS MORE THAN ADEQUATE AND THE ENGINE STARTED O.K. THEN HESITATED PUTTING ME IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY NOW CLOSELY APPROACHING TRAFFIC. WHEN I BRING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER THEY TRY THEIR BEST TO FIND THE PROBLEM BUT CAN'T.THEY SAID IT WAS BAD TURBOS AND REPLACED THEM THAT DID NOTHING TO HELP, THEY ALSO SAID THE PLUG WIRE BOOTS HAD TRACKS ON THEM AND THE SPARK PLUGS WERE MISFIRING, ALL WAS REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. ALSO WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT CITY SPEEDS AND PUSH THE THROTTLE TO PASS OR ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC THERE IS A NOTICEABLE LAG IN DEPRESSING THE THROTTLE AND THE ENGINE RESPONDING. THIS IS ALSO A DANGEROUS PROBLEM.I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR OVERLY SENSITIVE BRAKES AND I WAS TOLD BY ONE SERVICE WRITER THAT THE TECH FOUND FLUID IN THE BOOSTER AND ANOTHER WRITER SAID IT WAS ASSEMBLY LUBE. THEY CHANGED THE BOOSTER BUT NOT THE MASTER CYLINDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER AND BOOST CYLINDERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE, STALLED, AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

TWO TIMES WHEN ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING A RAIN STORM I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE LOSE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BOTH TIMES AFTER SLOWING DOWN THE ENGINE REGAIN POWER AND I COULD CONTINUE MY JOURNEY. I HAVE THE 3.5 TURBO ENGINE AND NOTICED ONLINE THAT THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MENTIONED BY OTHERS. I DID BRING UP MY CONCERNS TO MY FORD DEALER AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINT WITH THIS ENGINE. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP I CAN RECEIVE FROM YOU WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE @ 75 MILES PER HOUR, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. AT THAT TIME I TRIED MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, STARTED DOWN SHIFTING AND USING THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD LEAKED ALL FLUID FROM THE RESERVOIR INTO THE BREAK BOOSTER AND INTO VACUUM LINES. COULD BE UP TO A MONTH TO GET PARTS TO FIX. DEALERS SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THAT IS WHY THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS?

FIRST, I CRANK MY VEHICLE AND ALLOW TO ENGINE TO WARM APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MINUTES EACH DAY AS USUAL. ONCE I BEGIN DRIVING A "LOUD HUMMING" OR UNUSUAL NOISE HAPPENS USUALLY ONCE I REACH 30-40 MILES PER HOUR. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES DURING MY DRIVING TIME, AND THEN CEASE ALL OF A SUDDEN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE ON JUNE 20, 2014 AND NOW I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH IT. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET INTO MY LOCAL DEALER (POINT OF PURCHASE ALSO) TO GET A TECH TO RIDE WITH ME BECAUSE NO LIGHTS COME ON DURING NOISE TIME. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH ESTABROOK FORD IN PASCAGOULA RIGHT NOW. I CALLED ON JULY 17 TO SET UP "CHECK" FOR VEHICLE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE VERY BUSY AND COULD NOT CHECK IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK. I SCHEDULED TO HAVE A LEAVE VEHICLE AT DEALER OVERNIGHT AND RETURN NEXT MORNING SO THAT TECH COULD RIDE WITH ME TO "LISTEN" FOR NOISE. UPON ARRIVAL, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY TRIED TO CALL ME TO RESCHEDULE BECAUSE 3 TECHS AND OIL CHANGER GUY HAD WALKED OFF JOB. WELL, THIS IS UNTRUE BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SAME NUMBER FOR 2 YEARS, AND HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLES IN FOR OIL CHANGE, ETC. I TOLD THEM THAT I COULD NOT TAKE OFF WORK TO BRING VEHICLE BACK AND I WAITED FOR TECH TO RIDE WITH ME. TECH RODE WITH ME (VERY NICE GUY) AND HEARD SOUND. HE STATED THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE NOISE OCCURS DURING SHIFTING. THEY SCHEDULED ME TO RETURN VEHICLE THIS WEDNESDAY AFTER I GET OFF WORK (AUGUST 5) TO PUT IT ON RACK TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR PROBLE

I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND APPLIED THE BRAKES BEFORE ENTERING THE STREET. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR FAILING TO STOP THE TRUCK I USED THE PARK BAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE . AT THIS POINT I NOTICED THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT HAD COME ON .I VERY CAREFULLY BACK THE TRUCK BACK INTO MY DRIVE WAY USING THE PARK BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AGAIN .I WAS LUCKY NO CARS WERE COMING OR WE WOULD HAVE HAD A ACCIDENT . I CALLED THE FORD DEALER WHO TOLD ME TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE . THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND THAT ALL THE BRAKE FLUID HAD GONE INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I WAS INFORMED THAT NO REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD PUT IN A EMERGENCY ORDER FOR THEM TO SPEED THINGS UP. THIS LEEDS ME TO BELIEVE THAT FORD IS HAVING REAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE PARTS AND THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED PROBLEM .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN USING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,900.

THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR THE TRAILER TOWING AND HANDLING OF MY FORD F150 PICKUP WITH TRAILER TOW PACKAGES, AND INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE RATED AT ALMOST 8,000 GVWR. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE AND DANGEROUS TRAILER SWAYING WITH A 25 FT TRAILER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THAT WEIGHS UNDER 6000LBS. WE HAVE A LOAD EQUALIZING HITCH ALONG WITH SWAY CONTROL ON THE HITCH. AFTER READING OTHER INTERNET ARTICLES AND DISCUSSING WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALER THEY RECOMMEND UPGRADING THE TIRES FROM THE "P" SERIES PASSENGER CAR RATED TIRES (P275/65R18), TO A "LOAD RANGE E" TRUCK TIRE. ITS SUGGESTED THAT THE WIMPY SIDE WALL ON "P" RATED TIRES ARE ALLOWING THE SWAY MOTION TO GET OUT OF CONTROL. IF THIS IS REALLY THE PROBLEM, THEN FORD IS MISREPRESENTING THE TOWING CAPABILITIES OF THEIR TRUCK. WHO PUTS CAR TIRES ON THEIR TRUCKS? ITS GOING TO COST ME UP TO $1200 IN NEW TIRES TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS THE FIX. FORD IS IGNORING THIS ISSUE SAYING I JUST NEED TO BUY HEAVIER DUTY TIRES AND MINE ONLY HAVE 1000 MILES ON THEM.

THIS HAS TRUCK HAS A SHUDDER OR VIBRATION FROM STARTING OUT FROM 1 TO 10 MILES AN HOUR AND ADDITIONALLY WHEN PASSING AND DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS ALSO AN ACCELERATION DELAY AT ALL SPEEDS. THIS TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5L ECO BOOST ENGINE. THESE ISSUES ARE ESPECIALLY MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN THERE IS A LOAD ON THE TRUCK SUCH AS A TOPPER AND LUGGAGE, ETC.

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH. IMMEDIATELY TESTED BRAKES AND FELT NORMAL APPLICATION. THREE MILES LATER APPROACHING A FOUR-WAY INTERSECTION, INITIATED SECOND PEDAL APPLICATION AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO ASSOCIATED BRAKING ACTION. USED PARKING BRAKE, GEAR DOWN-SHIFTING AND ROAD SHOULDER TO AVOID COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES. SERVICE INSPECTION FOUND MASTER CYLINDER HAD LEAKED ALL FLUID FROM RESERVOIR INTO BRAKE BOOSTER AND INTO VACUUM LINE. REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER, VACUUM CHECK VALVE, AND VACUUM LINE.....UPDATED 10/20/15 *BF

I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND DRIVING IN A VERY SMALL CITY WHERE THERE WERE NO STREET LIGHTS AND ON A VERY DARK NIGHT. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD THAT I WAS TURNING INTO BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ONLY SHOOT A BEAM AND DO NOT FLOOD AT ALL. UP TO THIS TIME I HAD NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE MUCH AT NIGHT EXCEPT ON STRAIGHT ROADS. I HAD A PASSENGER WITH ME AND HE PUT HIS WINDOW DOWN AND HIS HEAD OUT THE WINDOW AND COACHED ME THROUGH THE TURN. IF A VEHICLE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. A LEFT HAND TURN ISN'T QUITE AS BAD BECAUSE YOU ARE TURNING INTO THE OUTSIDE LANE BUT THE RIGHT HAND TURNS TO THE INSIDE LANE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP IN LEWISTON, IDAHO AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WERE ONLY ADJUSTABLE VERTICALLY NOT HORIZONTALLY. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE WITH MY FOG LIGHTS ON BUT I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DOING THAT BECAUSE APPROXIMATELY 10-20% OF THE APPROACHING VEHICLES FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME SIGNALING THAT MY BRIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THEY ARE NOT. I DO NOT WANT TO BLIND THE DRIVERS COMING AT ME! THESE SAME LIGHTS HAVE A DISTINCT HORIZONTAL LINE WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE "CUT OFF" AND WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING INTO A DRAW AND GET TO THE BOTTOM AND START UP THE OTHER SIDE YOU CAN ONLY SEE A MATTER OF FEET DEPENDING ON THE STEEPNESS OF THE DOWNHILL AND UPHILL GRADE. THESE LIGHTS NEED TO FLOOD A CERTAIN DISTANCE LEFT AND RIGHT IN ORDER TO BE SAFE AND ACCEPTABLE. I FIL

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE A WARNING FOR LOW BRAKE FLUID APPEARED ON THE DASH. SHORTLY AFTER I LOST PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE FOR SLOWER TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO A NEAR BY GAS STATION. THEIR WAS NO BRAKE FLUID LEFT IN THE RESERVOIR AND AFTER ADDING MORE BRAKE FLUID THE RESERVOIR DRAINED WITHIN 5 MINUTES WITH NO VISIBLE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND DRAINED ALL THE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE VACUUM BOOSTER. I WAS LUCKY THAT I ENOUGH ROOM TO PUMP MY BRAKES TO GAIN CONTROL, OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL IN THIS MANNER NOR AT 18000 MILE OF VEHICLE LIFE. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED HE HAS SEEN THIS ISSUES ON OTHER F150S TOO.

TRYING TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING THAT HAD FALLEN UNDER OR BESIDE THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT. FEELING AROUNG I SLICED ONE OF MY FINGERS ON MY RIGHT HAND AFTER REACHING ONLY ABOUT 2-4" UNDER THE SEAT. I THEN INSPECTED UNDER BOTH FRONT SEATS AND FOUND KNIFE SHARP RAW METAL AREAS UNDER BOTH FRONT SEATS, MORE UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT THAN THE PASSANGER SEAT. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE UNUSUAL BUT JUST A NORMAL HAPPENING IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, WHICH CAUSES ME MUCH MORE CONCERN. THESE AREAS ARE NOT HARD TO REACH AND COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS CUT TO ANYONE SEARCHING FOR LOST ITEMS OR A CHILD SEARCHING FOR A LOST TOY.

AS I WAS PASSING A TRUCK THE ENGINE CUT OUT, LOST POWER THE TACH DROPPED FROM 4000 RPM TO BELOW 1000 AND THE ENGINE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND THE DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME EVERYTHING IS WORKING CORRECTLY. THIS TIME I TOOK VIDEO OF THE INSTRUMENTS TO PROVE IT. THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT FLASHED ALL THE TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING AND THEN WENT OUT WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN OPERATING PROPERLY.THIS STARTS AFTER YOU TRY TO PASS A VEHICLE AND IT PUTS YOU IN A DANGEROUS POSITION OF BEING IN THE PASSING AREA AND HAVE NO POWER TO GET BY, THIS COULD LEAD TO A MAJOR PROBLEM. I AM A CERTIFIED ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR AND HAVE BEEN A POLICE OFFICER FOR 45 YEARS. I AM ALSO A MASTER MECHANIC, THIS HAS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD SOON.

APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN GETTING OFF INTERSTATE I-85 AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AFTERWARDS. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED BY DOWNSHIFTING IT TO LOW, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. FORD DETERMINED IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER AND THEY NEED REPLACED BUT THOSE PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED FOR BETWEEN 2 & 12 WEEKS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT FORD IS REPLACING THESE PARTS ON NEW F150S AND THAT IS WHY THE LONG BACK ORDER.

WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM VACATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DROPPED DOWN ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK LOST CONTROL AND WENT INTO A GUARD RAIL, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK CAME AROUND AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO FLIP. ONCE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP THEY HAD TO CUT THE ROOF OFF AND WINDSHIELD TO GET US OUT. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL AND MY SON FOLLOWED WITH THE SHERIFF AND OUR DOG. THERE IS NO EXPLAINATION TO WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE CAME OFF WITH ONLY A FEW MARKS AND FULLY INTACT. THE MYSTERY TO EVERYONE IS WHY IS THERE ONLY HALF A RIM??? THE RIM WAS OFF THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH THE TIRE BEING OFF THE RIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE SHERIFF LOOKED ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE TO NOT FIND THE OTHER HALF THE RIM. THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY LOOKED TO SEE IF THE HALF RIM WAS THERE BUT CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. THE TRUCK AT THE MOMENT IS AT BULL DOG TOWING IN SOUTH CAROLINA (803)865-3800. THE CLAIM IS BEING HANDLED BY HANOVER INSUARANCE - [XXX] - 1-800-628-0250 EXT. [XXX] - CLAIM # - [XXX]. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS CONSIDERING I HAVE FOUND THAT FORD HAS AN ISSUE WITH THERE 2014 FORD EDGE WHEELS BUSTING IN HALF AND THE VEHICLES WRECKING. ACCORDING TO THE ARTICAL YOUR OFFICE IS HANDLING THIS INVESTIGATION OF THE EDGE. I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT VEHICLES BUT STILL THE SAME MANUFACTURER & IF THERE IS A DEFFECT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT. I HAVE TONS OF PICTURES IF NEEDED PLEASE RE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. UPON A PERSONAL REFERRAL, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO CHECK IF THERE WAS FUEL IN THE ENGINE OIL WITHIN IN THE CRANK CASE. THE PRESENCE OF FUEL WAS CONFIRMED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,200.

WHEN GOING THROUGH PARK, PROCEEDING 20 MPH GOING INTO A DOWNWARD CURVING TO LEFT, C FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, THEN CAME TO INCLINE, WHEEL WAS NOT WANTING TO STRAIGHTEN UP, CONTINUED TO PROCEED UP HILL; BUT STEERING WOULD NOT STOP STEERING TOTHE LEFT. THE ONLY WAY WAS TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP IN THE CENTER OF ROAD, BEARING MORE IN THE ONCOMING LANE; WAS HIT OR CAUSED TO BE HIT, BY A FORD FOCUS, LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE TO LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE. FLORTUNATELY FOR FOCUS, MY VEHICLE WAS A A COMPLETE STOP, AS UNABLE STRAIGHTEN WHEEL. VEHICLE NOT DRIVEABLE, HAD TO TOW BOTH VEHICLES, AND NOW BEING OUT TRANSPORTATION. THE 2014 WAS PURCHASED IN SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI, THE END OF MARCH; BUT NOT EVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS, AND ONLY HAVE HAD VEHICLE 1 1/2 MONTHS OR SO. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN FATAL FOR THE OTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED WITH FORD.

I WAS DRIVING HWY 290 IN HOUSTON, TX THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN AN ADDITIONAL 4 TO 6 MILES I LOST ALL MY BRAKES. LUCKY I DIDN'T PANIC AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULL INTO A STRIP CENTER AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT EVEN STOP WHEN TRUCK WAS IDLING. I HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKES FAIL ESPECIALLY WITH A NEW TRUCK. I AM STILL LEARY ABOUT DRIVING A TRUCK WHOSE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET THAT FEELING OUT OF MY HEAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND PUSHED ALL THE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SPOKE WITH A LADY NAMED [XXX]. SHE SAID SHE WAS SORRY BUT PARTS FAIL AND THEY COULD NOT EVEN ISSUE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TRUCK. SHE DID OFFER A SERVICE PLAN FOR THE TRUCK. BUT I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR FREE I JUST WANT MY TRUCK COVERED AND FEEL SAFE IT IN WITH MY FAMILY. I AM VERY LUCKY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND DIDN'T WRECK OR HAVE MY SON IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD IN A MORE CONCERNING MANNER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AS I ACCELERATE, THE TRUCK SEEMS TO GOING INTO NEUTRAL FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS. THEN IT REENGAGES AND JERKS VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, THEY REPROGRAMMED IT BUT DIDN'T REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS LAST TIME, THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO PICK UP M TRUCK BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE I WAS EXPERIENCING. ANOTHER TECHNICIAN STATED IT WAS THE ECO-BOOST BUT THAT FORD WAS SIDE STEPPING THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS CHANGING LANES ON INTERSTATE 10 AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DURING STARTS FROM A STOP TRUCK WILL NOT HAVE ANY THROTTLE RESPONSE. PUSH THE ACCELERATOR MORE TRUCK CATCHES UP AFTER ACCELERATOR IS MID WAY HALF THROTTLE. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T DUPLICATE, RESET THROTTLE MEMORY WITHOUT ANY CHANGE AS OF 04/22/2015. *TR

WINDSHIELD GLARE REFLECTION FROM DASH COMPROMISES VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT. SUNLIGHT REFLECTS OFF DASH CAUSING GLARE IN WINDSHIELD. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED (FORUMS ONLINE) THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND OCCURS IN MANY VEHICLES. AUTO MANUFACTURES NEED TO PUT EXTREMELY NON-REFLECTIVE MATERIAL ON DASHES TO COUNTER THIS. A DULL DASH MAT REALLY HELPS, PROVING THAT IT CAN BE MITIGATED. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG WIRE HARNESS TOO SHORT. WHEN BACK OF SEAT WAS MOVED FORWARD WIRES BROKE. FORD DEALER TRIED TO SAY IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR, BUT INFACT THERE WAS NO SLACK ON WIRES TO MOVE WITH SEAT. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE. MY REAR PASSAGE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF OTHER DAMAGE TO INDICATE ANYTHING OTHER THAN DEFECTIVE GLASS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING TO SAN DIEGO - AS WE EXITED OFF THE FREEWAY THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO RELEASE. STEPPING ON THE BRAKE, TURNING OFF THE SWITCH DID NOT CHANGE THE STUCK CRUISE CONTROL. WE WERE GOING 70 MPH AS WE EXITED AND CONTINUED AT 70 FOR ABOUT 1/2 MILE - THROUGH 1 STOP SIGN AND 3 STOP LIGHTS BEFORE WERE ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND LOOSE ALL CONTROL OF STEERING OF THE TRUCK. WE TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET. TURNED OFF THE TRUCK 10-15 SECONDS - UPON TURNING THE TRUCK BACK ON IT WENT IMMEDIATELY TO 6000 RPM'S BURNING RUBBER ONLY REASON WE DID NOT SPEED OUT OF CONTROL AGAIN IS BECAUSE HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE. TURNED TRUCK OFF AGAIN WAITED 10 MINUTES - TURNED IT ON AGAIN - THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD FINALLY RELEASED. WE DROVE TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS 5 MILES. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK - WHEN WE RETURNED HOME WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK - THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN - WE MAY NOT BE ALIVE NEXT TIME TO BRING IT BACK! *TR

POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WENT OUT. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A 2014 FORD F150 RENTAL ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. *TR
