2014 Ford F-150 complaints

Just seen about recall of f150 shifting problem. On a recent trip my 2014 f150 did exactly that. While making an right turn onto a street as it shifted it jerked pretty bad, scared the heck out of me. as I drove it would not shift out of 3rd gear. I had to drive several miles before I could pull over, My display showed a wrench on the screen. I turned off the engine and let it cool down, started it again. The wrench icon did not come on. It seemed to drive normal after that. I'm not sure this problem is with this year as well. I have not had it looked at by any shop.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted from the 6th to 2nd gear, and the rear wheels locked up, causing the vehicle to slide to a stop. The vehicle then stalled but was restarted after several attempts. The contact stated that once the vehicle was restarted, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment with smoke exiting from the tailpipe. The vehicle was taken to the residence, where a handheld diagnostic machine retrieved undisclosed codes. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V444000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 217,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 55-60 MPH or at slow speeds, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted into first gear. The wrench symbol was displayed, and the speedometer was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed that there were recalls on similar vehicles and opened a case. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Fuse 27, a known problem with the 12th generation F150, manufactured from 2009-2014, burned through in my truck melting the fuse block in the process. The fuse block in question is the main fuse block located toward the front of the engine bay near the radiator. This resulted in a no start condition while parked in a parking lot. I was required to purchase Ford’s repair kit for their engineering problem and relocate the fuse to a new spot in the fuse block. If this had happened while driving, I fear my truck could have resulted in an electrical fire with my family inside. Please consider requiring Ford to issue a safety recall for this incredibly dangerous situation.

As is the way with a lot of f150s, the leadframe control module in my automatic transmission failed, causing me to suddenly go into limp mode on [XXX] ; I had no prior warning until the dash went blank and the wrench symbol appeared. I was able to get the truck completely off the roadway and had to wait for a tow. As it was later in the afternoon I had the truck towed to my house and contacted my normal repair facility in the morning. I had the truck towed to the repair facility that day. They diagnosed the leadframe failure, ordered the parts from Ford and I had my truck back within a few days. This part has been a known issue in these F150s - I had the software update "recall" performed on my truck September 2024 and it still happened to me.

Ford Motor Company issued a recall for my truck (the transmission could suddenly shift into neutral), stating that they needed to update the PCM, and my local dealership service center said they could send an employee out to fix it remotely. I had not experienced the shifting into neutral prior to the "fix". Less than a week later, as I was driving around 35mph, the speedometer dropped to 0 and the transmission stuck in 3rd gear. I waited until the next stop sign and turned off the engine and started it again and it went back to normal. The next day the same issue occurred. The speedometer would drop to 0 and the transmission would stick in whichever gear it was last in. This time is was 5th gear on a highway. I had to pull over and restart it 3 times before it resumed normal driving. I went back to the dealership and they said the electronic update wouldn't have caused the OSS to malfunction and that it was a coincidence that the exact issue I was having was the same as the cause and reason for the recall. I went to an independent Transmission mechanic to have the OSS replaced and it has now been over a month and the problem has not returned. I don't know if the cause of the OSS malfunctioning was a coincidence or if it was related to a faulty electronic update (like if the Ford mechanic didn't disconnect the battery or overloaded an electric charge when he updated the PCM). The warning sign of a wrench did appear each time the OSS would drop to 0. The check engine light wen

I received a recall (Safety recall notice 24S37 . NHTSA Recall 24v444 ) notice in the mail. I scheduled with the dealership to have the recall taken care of. When the recall issue was "fixed", I picked up my 2014 Ford f150 stx 3.7L truck and immediately noticed it was running vwry rough and the transmission felt like it was slipping. The truck ran great before going in for the recall issue and had even been fully serviced and tuned up two weeks prior. I called the Ford dealership and explained to them. The truck then would not start but it did continue to crank over. I plugged my computer to it and no codes. I called the dealership back and was told to have it towed (at my expense) back to the dealership so they could fix it and if the issue was under due to the recall service, which it was, I would be reimbursed the money for the tow and the money they charged for a diagnostics. They also found nothing wrong and couldn't start the truck. They recommended I allow them to perform work to it claiming the spark plugs showed that the engine was flooded but could tell they were new and correctly gapped. After another $700 (for 6 spark plugs to be replaced) it did not fix the issue and they're not sure what to do. I've called the dealership, spoke with the service manager Bill and the GM Bob. They claim there is nothing they can do. I have called Ford Motor customer service twice with no help to fixing the problem. I too my perfectly running truck in for a safety recall and receive

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V316000 (Steering); which the contact linked to the failure. The contact called the manufacturer and was referred to a local dealer for the recall repair. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

I received a recall notice on my F150 and took it to the dealership for repair even though I have not had any check engine lights or codes on my vehicle. 20 days After taking my vehicle to the ford dealership for the 24S37 recall on the OSS while driving on a two lane back road my truck experienced a hard downshift immediately followed by a check engine light. I lost all acceleration and had to coast to a safe place to pull over. I connected a code reader to the vehicle and immediately got a P0721 code for output speed sensor. I had the truck towed to the dealership and was told they drove it and could not get it to repeat the issue. The dealership only drove 2.9 miles while the had the vehicle for 5 days. I picked up the truck and drove 122 miles before the truck repeated the same issue only this time I was on the highway and luckily was able to exit the highway safely. I connected a code reader to the truck again and received a code for P0720 for the output speed sensor. The software update for this recall that FORD has pushed out as a repair has done nothing but cause even more substantial problems and safety concerns. I have reached out to Ford (at a manufacturer level) and have received absolutely no assistance from them.

The failure mileage was approximately 219,000.

The vehicle had a complete loss of control of the power steering. Thankfully, it happened in the driveway and not on the highway. The message said Power Steering Assist Fault. Upon doing some research, I found that the NHTSA issued a recall in the past on some of the same vehicles in that model year (14V316000). We were hoping that this vehicle could added to that recall, due to the fact that it is a known issues for this particular model year. Thank you.

Both rear doors would not open from the outside or inside. They were not locked. They just would not open using the handle inside, trying to pull up on the lock mechanism and unlocking and locking numerous times. The doors would still not open. A child and a dog were in the back seat. I could not access them from the doors had to bring them through the front of the vehicle, which was very difficult. Periodically one door will be OK to open, the next day the door will not open, may or may not depending on how the door feels like working that particular daynot open.

Brake pedal goes to floor. Feels like the brakes goes out sometimes.

We took our truck to the local Ford dealership in regards to recall 24S37. There were no issues with the truck before we took it in. They say it was repaired on 1/7. A couple of weeks later the truck gets stuck in 1st gear and the now and at the same time the speedometer shuts down. We have read that if the program update doesn't fix it then they need to replace the leadframe but now they are saying that will be $2000 for them to fix the issue.

Truck started downshifting to 2nd gear at highway speeds, submitted claim, (no recall) Local Ford said no problem with my transmission. I replaced the leadframe in transmission. This fixed the problem. Ford came out with recall, Ford mobile came out and updated software for transmission. Since software update, Started down shifting again, sticking in 5th gear, or sticking in 3rd gear. Wrench came on a few times and engine light randomly comes on and clears too. I have pictures of 5th gear going slow, the wrench appearing and engine toruble light on. See attached pictures.

The Instrument Panel Air Bag light stayed on continuously, so I was concerned that the Air Bags might be defective. When I took the vehicle to a Ford Dealership for servicing, I was told that the front passenger side seat belt pretensioner/retractor was shortened internally. I was told that unless the part was replaced, the Air Bags would not deploy upon impact. If I chose not to repair the part, I was told that the vehicle would pass our state's inspection. In order to protect my family's safety, I believed that I had not option but to replace the part. I requested that the dealership give me the defective part, which they did. I still have the defective part. That repair cost me a total of $1097.98.

Turned on rear window and heated mirror defrost. Rear window cracked loudly and broke in a spiderwebbed manner after about 10-15 minutes of the defrost being turned on. Tempered glass kept it from blowing completely out. May have caused injury if a passenger had been sitting in rear crew cab seat at the time. Spoke with Safelite auto glass repair, was told they see this frequently with F150 trucks and think there is a problem with defrost function not shutting off like it should, causing excessive heat to window which eventually breaks the glass.

Received safety recall notice 24S37/ NHTSA recall 24V444 for my 2014 F150. Recall appears to address a safety issue resulting in the pickup downshifting into 1st gear while driving. My pickup was doing this back in 2022. It sat at the dealer for 3 months because it was too dangerous to drive (or sell) and needed a new Lead Frame to correct the problem, but Ford was unable to supply this part. I ultimately had to take it to a transmission shop, where they installed an after market lead frame that fixed the problem at that time (for around $1200). At that time there was a recall for 2015 models and up, but not 2014 models. Recently my pickup began going into safe or limp mode while I was driving, with a big wrench icon appearing on the dash. My mechanic said the engine code indicated the transmission was not communicating with the engine, and that it appeared to be related to this recent recall. Dealership updated the PCM, but this did not fix the problem. Ultimately, had to get a new Lead Frame installed ($1400). Error codes P0721 and P0722 were found, which would seem to apply to the recall. Supposedly the dealership was told that the truck was too old (2014) and and the mileage was too high (102,000) to cover the repair (although, this is a fairly recent recall). Ford customer service told me that the recall only covered the update, not any repairs to fix the underlying problem. Ford will not reimburse me for any of these repairs, but they appear to be related to exactly wha

On 1-15-2025, I filed a follow-up complaint number 11636086 regarding the random downshifting of my F150 from the 4th or 5th gear down to 2nd gear while accelerating to get on a roadway or highway. This defect was supposedly fixed at a Ford dealer per recall in July of 2024. As of this writing, my 2014 F150 is continuing to randomly downshift, and I have heard nothing from the NHTSA regarding this safety issue that the recall failed to correct. Ford tells me that the software update should have fixed the issue. Obviously, it did not. What recourse do I have? Please reply to the email address listed on both my original complaint and the second complaint listed above. Thank you.

Took vehicle to dealer for safety recall in reference to the transmission issue of downshifting to a lower gear while driving at highway speeds. Dealer did a software reprogram and indicated that would revolve the issue. Within six months I had encountered the same issue. I notified Ford corporate and they instructed me to take it in to diagnose the issue, to which I did. They notified me that the lead frame was defective and would need to be replaced. they indicated that I would be charged close to $1700.00 for the service. contacted Ford Corporate and they claimed that it was not part of the recall. My problem with this that the software reprograms did not resolve the recall issue. It is known that the lead frame had manufacturing faults.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission experienced rough shifting and unintended downshifting into first gear. Additionally, the transmission inadvertently shifted to fifth gear while idling from a stop. The transmission warning light was intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who updated the PCM software, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 13-6-8 (Transmission High Gear Engagement from A Stop); however, the vehicle was not covered under the TSB. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

My radiator cracked and was replaced by Firestone in Nashville, TN. Firestone Address 7644 Hwy 70 S Nashville, TN 37221 Immediately after a loud screeching sound began. Which intermittently turns into a metal on metal and chirping sound with mild vibration. Subsequently I left the vehicle with Firestone for 1 additional week after the repairs were completed, including a 5 point inspection which did not illustrate any additional problems or recommended repairs. They said they were unable to diagnose the issue without the store managers opinion who seemed to be on an indefinite leave of absence and no specific estimated time frame. Several months later I went back into the same location to talk about my concerns with a manger On 1/16/2025. The manager personally setup an appointment for 1/18/2025. 15 minutes before they closed for the day I called. They said they didn't have time to it and that they will not be able to tomorrow either. I cannot comprehend how a licensed shop can operate this way. They're not prioritizing revisiting their previous repairs which have caused an extreme burden on my ability to care for multiple kids with severe disabilities. I have been extremely flexible with them and cannot help but feel they're trying to avoid service to hide past mistakes they do not want to address.

On 7/8/2024 my 2014 F150 was part of Recall 24S37 6R80 to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module to correct the sudden downshifting at highway speed from either 5th or 6th gear to 2nd. The reprogram may have worked for a few weeks. The sudden downshift issue has returned and us getting worse. What recourse do I have with Ford? My truck is not safe to drive. Is Ford now required to replace the Control Module and Module housing in the transmission or am I now responsible for the several thousand dollar repair? Any assistance from the NHTSA will be appreciated.

Had a recall on my truck to replace master brake master cylinder on October 2014, my truck lost braking power on [XXX] before I was able to leave my community almost resulted in me driving to a pond with toddler in the backseat. I was eventually able to bring truck to a full stop using extreme force to push brake to the floor. Upon discussion with Ford service representative, it is highly likely due to premature brake booster failure as a result of recalled brake cylinder. Upon further research on Kelly's Blue Book, it states that the brake booster should be replaced "as necessary" as a part of the master cylinder recall but was not in my case. this failure could have resulted in catastrophic failure ending 2 lives and Ford refuses to warrant the repair.

Rear glass shattered spontaneously. There are many reports of this issue over a wide range of model years and no acknowledgement from Ford. Vehicle was parked with engine running and rear defrost on, no prior damage to the rear window. The drivers side rear glass shattered suddenly with a loud bang and rained small glass slivers down on rear occupants. Was quoted $1080 by a glass installer for replacement. They said this is a common issue with these trucks.

My 2014 F150 was recalled for a software patch pertaining to the lead frame in the transmission because the vehicle would abruptly downshift at any speed. After having the recall performed by a dealership, it continued to have the same issue. I was told by the Service Manager the lead frame was bad but the recall did not cover the repair. For my safety I had the repair done and it cost me $1869.64. I contacted NHTSA and was told the dealership would have to contact Ford Motor Company for a warranty code to cover the cost of the repair. Ford Motor Company said the dealership should pay for the repair up front then get reimbursed by Ford Motor Company. The dealership said only NGTSA can include the lead frame in the recall so I was responsible for the cost of the repair. As of this date (1/7/2025), I'm still out $1859.64. I have the lead frame that was removed from the truck and there are no obvious defects (cracks, buildups, etc) so the issue has to be with the control mechanism within the lead frame that the software patch should have corrected. Why has the recall not been upgraded to include replacing the lead frame?

I was instructed to take my truck in for a recall of a sudden downshift issue with the transmissions molded leaf frame. I had told the ford representative that i was experiencing similar symptoms with my vehicle. and some symptoms that were even of even greater risks to me where when coming to a complete stop my vehicle would fail to gain proper speed facing oncoming traffic!! Also i had told the representative that due to those issues i also had the computer re-programmed previously to try to resolve the issue before becoming aware of the recall... i also had purchased an engine and transmission harness from a ford dealer prior to the recall as well, All for which i have not been re-compensated for..after becoming aware of the recall did i understand that the issue lied in the transmissions molded leaf frame which has not been repaired...no actions were taken to remedy my vehicle and i was upset and unsatisfied with the entire process!

See attached document for complaint.

While driving at highway speed of 55mph, the vehicle went into limp mode. Large gear icon came on the dash, speedometer went out as well as mileage indicator. The vehicle lost almost all power and started to slow rapidly. Pressing all the way down on the gas made the truck go maybe 30mph as a guess. This was a very dangerous situation as there was no where to pull over and cars were coming up behind me quickly. I finally was able to get off an exit ramp and pull over. After restarting the vehicle it moved properly. I scanned the vehicle and received the output speed shaft sensor fault code P0721 and P0722. There is a recall for this problem, but since I proactively brought my truck into Ford in July, all they did was a reprogram instead of fixing the actual cause of this, which is the lead frame in the transmission. Had I waited to bring my truck in for recall until those codes were thrown they would have fixed it. So now I’m stuck with a dangerous vehicle unless I pay for something Ford knew was already a problem.

It shifts weird but it’s still unsafe

Back up camera does not work more than it does. Just blank blue screen. Sometimes the screen says something like Rearview camera not available. Most of the time it says nothing. If it is on, it's very bad picture w/alot of static lines in it. This problem started in 2015 and steady got worse through the years.

Bushing that connects transmission gear change that goes from the shifting lever to the transmission had the bushing at the shifting lever disintegrate. This caused the shifting cable to come loose from the shifting lever and therefore once the shifting lever was placed in Park, it was actually not in park. Repair is to replace the bushing in the shifting lever where it connects to the column shifting handle/lever. This could cause the truck to roll back into the street or other cars depending on where it was parked. Total time to repair was about 1/2 hour. Dealer did not have any parts to repair this bushing nor did they have any reports of recalls. This bushing looks very similar the bushing used in the Fusion recall.
