Bought used the air bag light was on. Dealer fixed it once under warranty or recall. The light is back on and out of warranty.the seats belts do not grab at all when heavy on the brakes. There would be no seat belts in a wreck. Plus the vehicle will not pass state inspection.2014 with 37,000 miles
Takita recall:passenger seat when occupied shows off; sometimes it shows on..this is while the vehicle is in motion in city or on highway.
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.
After about 800 miles i was driving on a road at 35 mph and all of a sudden the airbag deployed on its own while i was moving at about 35 mph. Traffic was light and i coasted until i hit the back of a stopped small truck.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving at any speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The warning light kept switching on and off. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 8,200.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the instrument panel display screen failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the screen intermittently froze and failed to illuminate. The failure recurred and the front passenger side air bags deployed. The contact heard an alarm and the side air bags deployed when the contact attempted to unlock the door. The passenger sustained a minor injury that did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was later towed to an unknown dealer located in alhambra, california for diagnostic testing and repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
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.
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.
When vehicle is in motion and the passenger seat is occupied with an adult passenger who is seated properly and wearing seatbelt the passenger airbag off light occasionally comes on and will stay on for different time frames sometimes minutes or an entire trip before turning itself back on. We have brought the issue to the attention of the dealership on two separate occasions and on both occasions we were told that they tested the system and that it is functioning properly. We have also had a recurring problem with the front driver side tire pressure sensor where the tire was visibly low, and when checked was over 15 lbs low sometimes 20 lbs but the low tire pressure warning never came on. This has happened on several different occasions with the same tire sensor and each time was brought to the attention of the dealership it was purchased through and each time we have been assured that the sensors are working properly. Yet i have had the rear tire on the passenger side be low 5 lbs and the tire pressure sensor informed me that it was low. The tire states 44lbs as the recommendation for maximum inflation, they are the proper tires for the vehicle, and 25 percent would be at least 11 lbs low is my understanding. Yet when i asked if there is a certain loss of pressure that we should be informed by we were told no that some tires might just sense it sooner than other but that they were all working properly. We just wanted to express our concerns as we hope that these systems will function properly if they are needed in an emergency situation.
Airbag light has been coming on over the past couple years.i have taken the truck in to ford dealer service centers for multiple visits and have spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to solve.most recently, the truck was at the dealer with the airbag light on and while troubleshooting, the light turned off.as soon as the light was off, there was nothing else that could be done other than returning to the service center if/when the light came back on.i have been told that if the airbag light is on, none of the airbags will deploy.this is a very serious safety concern for a modern vehicle that i have been prudent in trying to remediate but have not been able to resolve the issue.regarding what specifically occurs, when starting the truck either the airbag light will be on or off.if the light is on, it typically remains on and does not shut off regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated.if the light is off, it remains off and does not come on regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated.i have not yet been able to detect a pattern (time of year, weather, amount of time since it was last driven) with when the airbag light comes on.
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.
The contact owned a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 28 mph through an intersection, the contact's vehicle was t-boned by a 2012 kia soul. The contact's head struck the side frame, which caused head injuries that required medical attention. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent lot. The contact called ken garff american fork ford (597 e 1000 s, american fork, ut 84003, (801) 692-6561). The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was contacted and declined to send a field engineer to investigate the failure. No further assistance was provided. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The failure mileage was 56,860.
I have been getting getting airbag symbol on dash for about 3 years.i have brought the truck to 4 different ford dealers to repair.the first time it came on, i was told to park truck and not drive it by ford, the airbag could deploy at any time. When i bring the truck to the dealer, they claim to repair issue. Afteri leave dealer, in about 1 month, the light will come back on.the last ford dealer (hood in hammond) which has claimed to repaired it,after it came back on, they says that the front seat needs to be removed to repair.also seat tentioner has been replaced by another ford dealer. I have had to use my extended warranty and have to pay $100 copay.i have contacted ford a couple time also. This issue has been going on for about 3 years.i do not know if airbags will work or not.very dissapointed with the unprofessionalism of dealers (service managers) and ford customer service.this issue of not knowing if airbags are working properly are not is very distrubing.i am giving an estimate of mileage and date when first occured.
While traveling at approximately 45 mph down baseline road in roseville, ca. I rear ended a stationary honda accord. On impact, none of my airbags deployed. The front end of my truck was crushed inward and the trunk of the vehicle i impacted had been obliterated. I have major whiplash and additional body pain from the accident.
I was hit in the rear driver side door an gas tank going thru and intersection about 35-40 mph and we got hit with and estimated speed of 50-60 mph and the air bags failed to deoloy..we went 40ft. Down and inbankment and came to a stop this took place september 29, 2020
While i am driving with my pregnant wife in the vehicle the airbag light will illuminate saying that the airbag is off, i have to pull over while driving to have her get out of the vehicle and get back in for the light to turn off. It's a normal street in a development or on the road driving. Different speeds with flat roads, some have bumps others are recently paved asphalt. Happens intermittently, over a dozen times at different speeds. My vehicles vin doesn't fit the recall for the airbag issue that is already aware by ford. Took vehicle to ford dealership 4 times for this same issue, only thong done was a recalibration of the seat weight and exactly 2 weeks and 1 day later light came on again, unable to pull over i drove hoping to find a way to pull over for the safety of my wife and unborn child, the light turned off after 40 seconds of realizing it was on. A fully grown individual sitting in the seat weight 190+lbs has this happening to them. I have video footage and will try to attach it if possible. Most recently it happened today, 2/19/20 at 3:17pm.
Passenger airbag suppression light is on with no one in the passenger seat.i noticed recall nhtsa 14v71000 exists, but the recall does not come up on my vin.
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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While the vehicle was at a car wash with the key in the ignition, the contact placed the transmission into neutral, applied the seat belt, depressed the brake pedal, and released the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated without warning into heavy traffic. The contact attempted to apply the brakes as the vehicle crashed into a building. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a collision center for the body damage and was then taken to tom denchel ford country prosser (630 wine country rd, prosser, wa 99350, (877) 221-5696) to be diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the vin and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 45,783.
Vehicle was purchased in 2017.in 2018, occassionally noted that the passenger airbag indicator would switch to off while a passenger was in the seat, with seatbelt fastened.approached my dealer with the problem, they read codes and found no faults.during a long road trip in 2019/2020, a pattern emerged:when vehicle first started and passenger present, passenger airbag system indicates on.after 20-30 minutes of driving, indicator goes to off.about 50% of the time, unbuckling and retracting passenger seatbelt, then rebuckling, and indicator will come back on.if this fails, truck must have ignition turned off before it will reset and switch airbag on.have been told by dealership that this vehicle is not part of the 2014/15 recall for issues that match these symptoms.also told that my expensive extended warranty may not cover a fix (to the main safety system??)... It is dependent on shop inspection and diagnosis.
The driver owned a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while the driver was driving at an unknown speed, the brake pedal was applied but failed to respond. The contact mentioned that the steering wheel failed but was uncertain. As a result, the driver veered off the road and crashed. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The driver sustained a fatal heart attack. The driver received medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa action number: pe16003 (service brakes , service brakes, hydraulic), and nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v316000 (steering) and 14v710000 (seats).the failure mileage was not available.
I was driving down the highway with my rear defrost operating.i smelled something burning that had an "electrical burn" smell.i thenheard a loud "pop".i looked in my rear view mirror and saw that my rear driver side back glass panel (sliding glass window) was shattered.this was especially concerning because my daughter was seated directly in front of the shattered glass in her car seat. I researched this problem and saw numerous issues with the rear window defroster in this model of truck.that explains the electrical burning smell.
Ford f-150 2014 had an electrical issue that caused it to go up in flames as i was driving it down the highway at about 60 miles an hour. I first smelled a burning odor, then i looked in my review mirror and saw smoke, then i started seeing flames in the back passenger corner of my back seats. By this time the truck was very smoky but i was able to safely pull aside to the shoulder of the highway.i made an attempt to open my driver's door, but it wouldn't open and i then broke the glass to open the door from inside out. As i exited my vehicle and walked around the back of the truck i grabbed a towel out the bed of the truck and got on the ground to try and stop the flames at that time i could see a wire burning between the bed and the passenger cab of the truck as it made loud popping noises, then the truck just burst into flames. I called 911 and they called the fire department , they came out on the scene and put the fire out.
After turning on the rear defroster for about 2-3 minutes the rightrear window shattered. (if looking from behind its the far right out of the 3 part window. ) iturned it on and drove on a straight road for 1/4 to 1/2 mile at aprox 35 mph. We heard a loud pop/bang and looked around and found the shattered window. No puncture mark or hole from any object hitting it. Apparently this is a common problem according to reviews and news articles as there is a defect in the defroster over heating. Luckily it stayed in the window so we do not have glass every where but it could fly out every where at any second. This is extremely dangerous, especially if you have a child in the back.
My truck would randomly hesitate during the acceleration phase. Eventually it led to me being stranded due to the inability of the vehicle to start. Trucked was towed to the dealership and i was informed that this was a reoccurring design problem in the electrical system that ford has been aware of for quite sometime. I urge your agency to strongly consider a recall for numerous reasons. 1. It's a design flaw2. While i wasn't an issue for me normal acceleration can be just as important as normal braking in certain situations due to safety considerations.(merging, turning left across traffic, etc.)3. It wasn't an issue for me but my service invoice indicated a slight burn on the fuse terminal. Obviously a possible fire hazard due to poor design.thank you for upon consideration.
Have lost power steering, brakes, and engine twice at different inclines, low/moderate speeds and while or after turning right.both caused by a blown fuse (once fuse27, then after repair fuse70).during the second occasion this almost caused a serious and significant accident.clearly there is an electrical issue as it happened a second time after repair by the dealership.loss of power is sudden and in my case the vehicle would not restart because the fuse was blown.
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.
The power door lock actuators in all four doors have failed within a period of two months.when the actuators fails, the door will no longer lock/unlock with keyless remote or by using the inside button to unlock the doors.only the driver door has a key hole, so when the other rdoor are not working, the only way to unlock the door is from the inside.occasionally while the door actuators is not working, the door is difficult to open from the inside as if the lock is difficult to unlock.the only repair to fix the actuators is by replacing the entire door latch mechanism.i worry the door would become inoperable and unable to open someone could be trapped inside.another concern is vehicle theft due to the door not looking as assumed when pressing the button.
Went to pick up my child atschool 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.
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.
My 2014 ford f150 quad cab truck was parked after driving to work, approximately 20 minutes of driving.after parking the car, another employee noticed the cooling fan was still running (or engine-on sound) and at the end of my ~9 hour shift, i returned to my ford truck with a dead battery, which required a boost to start the truck.after returning home from work, the cooling fan continued to operate with the vehicle parked and the ignition switch in the off position.after reviewing the electrical diagram using a ford motorcraft online manual subscription, and tracing the cooling fan circuit, we found that the cooling fan relay (hi-power fomoco, relay number o101k 8t2t-14b192-aa) if lightly tapped with a small screwdriver handle, the cooling fan turned off.the air flow through the cooling fan and heat ex-changers did not feel hot in temperature and there was no overheat condition with the cooling system, malfunctioning ac system, or air flow restrictions.a new relay (one of eight relays [with the same part number] located in the battery junction box - bjb) was purchased at a local ford dealer based on the relay number mentioned above.this relay was in-stock.upon inspecting the old relay, the side of the outer plastic housing had a melt/burn mark, showing signs of overheating.this was a concern, as when the old relay outer plastic cover was removed, signs of arcing/overheating within the bi-metal relay switch was found and the bi-metal piece was not properly attached.with all of the plastic material in the bjb, there is a concerns that the relay could continue overheating and melt the plastic material in the bjb, causing further damage or fire risk in that area.i have included photos of the failed relay.the new relay appears to function properly and the cooling fan does not run with the ignition in the off position and truck parked.no recalls.
Steering wheel doesn't lock; music continue to play with key out and doors open; push volume button on steering wheel radio change station.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the instrument panel gauges and signal lights failed to work. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph and towing a 2012 kz sportsman travel trailer, the vehicle lost power. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (ed corley ford, 1870 w santa fe ave, grants, nm 87020, (505) 285-4695) where it was diagnosed that a fuse was damaged, the battery needed to be replaced, and a new relocation kit needed to be installed. Thevehicle was repaired; however,the failure recurred. On another occasion, while driving 55 mph and towing a 2012 kz sportsman travel trailer, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to mojave auto group (1010 w. Main st., barstow, ca 92311, 760-256-2241) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump and sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called the california highway patrol due tobeing stranded in an unsafe location. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: cas-16131250. The manufacturer stated that the resolution of the repairs would have to made with the local dealer. The failure mileage was 62,000.
There's a known problem with fuse #27 overheating and causing the fuel pump to stop working. Do a google search. It affects many years prior to 2014. This is serious as it can leave people stranded. It has not thrown a computer code from 2014 f15. Simply replacing the fuse did allow starting but it will happen again. There's a fuse relocation kit (el3z-14293a) available but ford should be responsible for performing this repair. The fuse does'nt blow out but the fuse socket overheats for some reason.
The contact owns 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that the horn was not working. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three different times where the technician diagnosed that the body control module needed to be replaced and the blue tooth system needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 6,000 and the current mileage was 17,000.
Vehicle was on & operating for 20 minutes and after traveling 1-2 miles all of the sudden smoke came from engine compartment. Pulled over immediately, and turned vehicle off when a full fledged fire began in the engine block on passenger side. Ran into gas station and used a fire extinguisher to get fire under control. 911/fire dept was contacted and hosed down hood, engine compartment. Analysis showed the source of the fire was from the passenger side hood accent light (factory installed) short circuited and was the origin of the fire.
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.
I was on the highway heading out of town going 70 mph, the speedometer went to zero and the rpm rev up to 4000rpm and felt like a downshift , i had a car and semi passing me. It was a scary moment for. I took it to a well known mechanic and ran a test and told me the lead frame was bad. He informed me that my truck was not under recall because my truck was not at the plant where the lead frame was faulty.
I have been having issues with my battery discharging . The ford dealer as changed out the battery 3 times & still have the same issue . Something in the system is draining the battery .the dealer has checked it and still has notfound the problem. If the truck sits for 2 to 3 day when i go to start it the dash lights up sayingturn power off to save battery - system off to save battery. We have no after market equipment on my 2014 ford f-150 5.0 motor .
Main wire harness is routed outside.of the frame rails. Mud is pulling the wire harness off of the vehicle.
Warning lights came on dash about stability or traction control, no 4x4 lights were showing even though i had it in four wheel drive.within seconds i could not control my truck in the snow and the steering would not allow me to change my course of direction.this truck acted like it was not in four wheel drive. My truck slammed/slid sideways into a curb on the rotary by my home causing $2129.19 damages to tires and rims and front end parts.after i hit the curb the 4x4 light was showing as was the traction control lights and i was able to steer my truck and keeping it from dropping over an embankment.my speed was 15 miles per hour as i came towards the rotary.i contacted ford and received a call back 11/6/14 stating that i needed to go through my insurance and that my insurance company was welcome to subrogate this with ford legal counsel.the woman that called would not answer any question about what this all meant just that i needed to deal with my insurance company over and over.
I drove my f-150 eccoboost truck to the snow, same area i have been hundreds of times and suddenly smoke burst from the engine, then flames shot out around the hood, popped the hood and fought the fire for half an hour, it kept restating.it stranded myself and children, and we had a harrowing experience that was pretty dicey.ford had just put in a new engine, at my cost, +14,000.00, after the timing chain failed. They would not repair it at their cost, even though i have copies of the fault codes from before the failure of the timing chain that destroyed the old engine. The new one had under 10,000 miles on the new engine, probably about5,000 miles on it.we had driven on the relatively flat grade mainline road, and drove up about 0.8 miles, climbing maybe 400 ft elevation over that distance.i was in the process of turning the vehicle around when the engine burst into flames.it was on a gravel road.we had traveled from home, 35.2 miles.
Driver side hvac blend door failure seems to be defective based on number of failures.blows only hot air (full heat).
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that upon dropping his child off at school, the contact heard a loud, abnormal popping sound. Upon investigation, the contact became aware that the rear driver's side glass had shattered into several pieces. The contact drove the vehicle back to his residence. The contact stated that the heating system in the rear defroster overheated which caused the glass to shatter. The vehicle was taken to mel hambelton ford (11771 w kellogg dr, wichita, ks 67209) and the contact was informed that the vin was not under recall. The contact was provided an estimate for the repair of the glass. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.
Rear window shattered after turning on rear defrost. Vehicle was stationary in my driveway at the time.
Wiper motor, radio/ ignition system, remote locking/ unlocking & cruise control.1st issue: wiper motor will not turn to off, the wipers run intermittently in the off position every 20-30 seconds the wipers will run. Pulled fuse until repairs can be made to switch and/or module.2nd issue: when ignition is turned off & key removed, and the radio is playing or off, a low battery warning message appears: remove ignition key and turn off the radio. The issue will not cure unless truck is vacated & locked. Dealer can't replicate issue no repairs made but still occurs from time to time.3rd issue: power lock/ unlock by remote does not communicate with truck intermittently, replaced both remote batteries still having issues getting truck to unlock/ lock. Dealer can't replicate problem & no repairs are made.4th issue: cruise control will not disengage when pressing brake pedal, have to turn off cruise control from steering column. This issue never returned to date of this complaint, no repairs made. This issue should be a safety concern.with all the issues with truck no warning dash messages or lights.thanks,(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).
Was having trouble starting my truck one day. Cranking and cranking but not firing. Sometimes it would eventually fire, sometimes it required a jump to get it going. Took it into ford, they replaced the battery. Didn't happen for a few more days. Same thing. Crank, crank, crank, but wouldn't start. Did some searching online, and found similar situation regarding a burnt/melted fuse 27 (the fuel pump fuse). Ford knows about this issue so much that they even created a part to move the fuel pump to a larger fuse. I'm glad this issue only happened while sitting still and i was able to get the fused replaced without incident. However, i would imagine that soon my vehicle would have stopped while traveling due to the fuel pump fuse completely dying. Also seems like a fire hazard, or it could do further damage to the fuse box or to surrounding fuses. Ford should issue a recall for this immediately.
Due to the fuse box being is located above the radiator, it is exposed to direct heat, and caused the fuel pump relay fuse to completely melt. This caused my truck to completely die twice while on the highway and almost caused an accident. This is extremely unsafe, and ford should recall this issue since it is a very common issue that drivers are having. A simple fuse box relocation would be an easy solution.
Driving with the rear defroster on heard a loud bang and then noticed my drivers side rear window was completely spider webbed. I've read many other complaints about the same issue.
Emeerency brake system failure. Emergency brake will not release. Emergency brake light comes on when vehicle shifted from park to drive. Emergency brake light alarms and displays randomly while driving down road.emergency brake system alarm will not release after multiple pull attempts.
After having my truck fail to start several times i discovered it was a "fuse 27" issue with the truck. This issue is so prevalent that the ford dealer knew the issue by name as soon as i described it. The fuse, located in slot 27 of the main fuse panel was severely burned and charred from an overload issue that causes the fuse to burn in its socket instead of tripping like a fuse is designed. After researching the issue, i discovered this is a known issue to ford (tsb 15-0137) and hundreds, possibly thousands of ford f-150 vehicles are affected with this issue. This issue is a potential fire hazard to the vehicle, or could cause loss of power at highway speeds. Ford is choosing to release a tsb and a repair kit, and charge customers to fix their faulty wiring in their new vehicles instead of a recall or warranty coverage of a known issue they are not fixing. This is dangerous and irresponsible on ford's part.
Airbag light has been coming on over the past couple years.i have taken the truck in to ford dealer service centers for multiple visits and have spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to solve.most recently, the truck was at the dealer with the airbag light on and while troubleshooting, the light turned off.as soon as the light was off, there was nothing else that could be done other than returning to the service center if/when the light came back on.i have been told that if the airbag light is on, none of the airbags will deploy.this is a very serious safety concern for a modern vehicle that i have been prudent in trying to remediate but have not been able to resolve the issue.regarding what specifically occurs, when starting the truck either the airbag light will be on or off.if the light is on, it typically remains on and does not shut off regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated.if the light is off, it remains off and does not come on regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated.i have not yet been able to detect a pattern (time of year, weather, amount of time since it was last driven) with when the airbag light comes on.
Door latches get stuck locked can not open by hand if i was to get in a wreck or have a medical issue i could not exit vehiclethis has been going on since i purchased vehicleon all doors in truck i have done replaced 1 actuator now all need replacing
Vehicle fire.i started the vehicle up in my driveway and heard a small pop/explosion and smoke came out from under the hood.i immediately shut off the truck, popped the hood and could not identify the source of the issue.i started the truck again and noticed where the fie/smoke was, shut off the truck, and proceeded to rush into the house to grab the kitchen fire extinguisher and put the fire out. Thankfully i was not driving and my house didn't catch fire.i called my mechanic and had the tow truck deliver the vehicle to him and they confirmed that it was the oem alternator that was the cause of the fire. I contacted the dealership wanting to report the issue and the dealership in their words said "not sure what you want us to do?"not are you ok, this is serious let us help, etc.just a simple passing the buck to a 1800 number to ford.i filed a case with ford motor company, but that too was a joke.they didn't care either.i was told they'll file it as negative feedback and since i was so upset, i was directed to create a complaint with nhtsa.i found this very disturbing as ford appears to not have cared one bit about their manufactured vehicle catching fire or the possibility of someone getting hurt or killed.i hope this complaint finds the right people and prevents a real accident or tragedy from happening.at this time i don't have the repair invoices as the fire did a decent amount of damage even though i did put it out within 60 seconds of it starting. The mechanics are still assessing all the damage done. Since the fire was in the engine bay area on the bottom, there isn't much visible burn damage (and it is currently covered in dry chem from the fire extinguisher). I did file a case with ford as mentioned and if you need the case number i'd be glad to provide it.
I purchased this vehicle february 2020 from snyder motors-bozeman, and drove it from approximately 107k to 110k miles with no issues. This vehicle first performed this major safety issue on approximately may 10th, 2020. I was attempting to pass a vehicle on the two-lane montana highway from norris, mt to four corners, mt. I quickly accelerated from 65mph to 80mph and passed them in the left lane during a passable stretch. Just as i had almost finished passing, i noticed the light that indicates my mode of drive (park, neutral, reverse, etc.) flicker very quickly and erratically between the different drive modes. When the light first hit the reverse position, it violently shook the vehicle with me and my two good friends within. I then lost all control of the vehicle's power as if it had shifted itself into neutral. I was then forced to very quickly brake and get back into my lane as i had no power and another vehicle came around a turn in the passing lane and approached towards us. I had to shut the vehicle off briefly to regain control, and then had to get on the highway. The truck then performed the issue again while going up a steep hill despite slowing to 60mph. I have since had the vehicle perform the issue a myriad of times, usually due to hills going 30-40 mph since i've had to avoid highways. Each time, i am sincerely scared for my life and well being. I took it into bozeman ford from 6/22/20 to 6/29/20 after first taking the vehicle to foster's mastertech and having them replicate the issue and agree it is a safety concern. I was able to replicate the issue with a bozeman ford tech and he also agreed that it was a scary experience and stated this to a service rep. Ford replaced the molded lead frame, but to no avail as the truck performed the issue again that day. It is now back with bozeman ford, attached are my documents from the initial service.
Once more this truck has lunged without notice!! with the truck in my garage i pushed the button (inside the truck) to open the garage door, started the truck and as soon as i put in in reverse it lunged backwards just catching/hitting the bottom of the garage door as it was going up, some scuffs on the trucks tailgate trim and it bent the lower garage door panel and knocked it off the track. Ford has done squat to fix this issue along with other major issues this truck has from day one!! nhtsa please look into these issues!!
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
The rear power sliding defrosting window was replaced under warranty about 2 years ago when the rear defroster and heated mirrors stopped working and it now stopped working again and is clearly a defective design as there are numerous complaints for the same condition and even some where the window shatters from overheating. It first happened around 23,000 miles and now again at 54,000 miles.
When ignition is turned off, and the radio is still playing, a low battery warning message appears with instructions to remove ignition key and turn off the radio. In the past, after several of these messages, there was no power to start the engine.
There seems to be a problem with the rear defroster system on all ford f150's from 2011thru 2016. It either just stops working causing a electrical short and possible fire and electrical damage or bodily injury if contacted by a person, or most commonly it will shatter the rear window causing a visual obstruction out the rear while driving. Another issue with this defect is that when the window does shatter, it has been known to create a hole in the glass which could lead again to a person being injured with the broken glass. I did some research on this, and within 20 minutes i have discovered over 200 other customers with the same problem. Unfortunately the dealers nor the customers notify the manufacture of the issue. I don't know how many of these have been replaced by warranty, but it seems that the ford dealers say it is a $700 repair because you have to replace the whole rear window and there for no one wants to take the responsibility of fixing it. This is a serious safety issue due to the risk of possible bodily injury and driving hazard restricting the vision while driving. Please, could you help with resolving this serious issue. Thank you
My rear defrost caused my window to shatter then it started melting the plastic around the window.smoking and burning.i had just left my home it was 40 degrees in south carolina had the front and rear defrost on.at a stop light i heard it pop and smoke was pouring around the rear window.it continued to smoke and burn even after i turned the defrost and the comfort system off.
Used remote start this morning to warm up the truck, when i went to leave the rear drivers side window was shattered due to something with the rear defrost.
Rear window panel shattered in place due to the defroster overheating. There had been no prior damage to the window, and the window shattered while the car was stationary and idling in the parking lot at my work, only to defrost and warm up. In the attached images, it is evident from the picture inside the vehicle that the window has completely cracked, and from the outside, it is proven that there was no impact of a foreing object that resulted in this.
I was pulling out of a parking structure as i turn right and then try to sraighten into the street my steering wheel was not abel to turn n was making a funny noise as i tried to and almost crashed had to yank the steering wheel hard and was barely abel to turn enough to not hit a car now car is just abel to go straight.from my knowledge it has to do with the electric power steering the trucks come with and looked into it as i was parked as close as i could to the side of the street that the trucks are known for them giving out with no warningn a recall was done on a certain batch i called ford n dey said no my truck has no recalls n read up that the recall number was 14s09 n was happening to alot of those truck models
I got a left rear door ajar warning on the dash of my 2014 ford f150 crew cab pick up truck.i would check the door and it was closed properly.every time i started the truck i would get the warning.i made an appointment with ford to find out why this was happening.on the day of the appointment with ford, i started the truck and heard a buzzing type noice from the rear seat area.i got out to he truck with it running and opened the left rear door to search for the buzzing noise.as i was looking for the noise i started to smell plastic burning, then out of the left pillar between the front and back door smoke started pouring out of where the seat belt goes behind the cover where the seat belt retracts to.smoke and the smell of the plastic started to fill the cabin area of the truck.i shut the truck off.within about ten minutes the smoke cleared but the smell of burned plastic was strong.i then had the truck towed to miller ford in lumberton, new jersey.a preliminary report from ford is that the electrical harness in the door post and under the carpet area is melted.i am awaiting to hear from ford the final story at this time.
Driving down road and lost power steering. Took all my strength to steer truck. Pulled over and discovered also lost turn signal, headlights didn't work. Two messages came up, check traction control and low battery power save mode. Might of been other things not working but didn't check for anything else. Drove it to ford dealer. Again took all my strength to turn steering wheel. Was driving down straight road about 20 mph. Very lucky didn't happen on corner or when wife driving it.
Rear defroster worked sometimes and sometimes not now it stopped completely afraid it will start on its own and shatter my window i have my two grandkids in the back every day afraid they will be harmed if it shatters or catch on fire due to the short why no recalls to fix the problem.
The connector that plugs into theblower 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 heardthat 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 recently financed a truck and the seller did not disclose that it was a flood damage vehicle. I did auto check and found out there was also recalls on the truck when he sold it to me. That he didn't fix recalls are for the seatbelts n the bolts for the seabelts. The truck also is leaking oil. He also tempered with the engine lights because it's leaking oil but no lights turned on. I want a full refund of every dollar i have given him. He also lied on the odometer .
On february 20, 2016 i purchased a ford f150 lariat edition from an individual. The vehicle was coming off a lease.i drove the truck to my home and parked it in my driveway until i received the title on march 8.on march 9 i drove it and noticed an odd smell but thought it may have been in the air conditioner.on march 10 i as i was driving, i noticed that same smell but also saw smoke.i pulled over to the side of the road.i looked under the dashboard but did not see or smell where the smoke was coming from. As the smoke was still being produced, i called 911 and started to take my personal items out of the cab.on one of the trips to remove items from the console, a burning piece of the headliner fell on my left hand.at that point the 911 operator told me to move away from the vehicle. By the time the fire department arrived the truck was fully on fire.
I got in my truck to start it and it was completely dead.no fire whatsoever.service traction control light was on and trailer park light or something was on.radio, windows, doors, lights, everything worked.it just did not start at all.had to have it towed.dealership reset computer.light still came on.took it back a week later, because the service trac control light was coming on and staying on again. Can't find any thing wrong with it.this is a brand new truck.my lord.something needs to be figured out with it.why pay for a brand new truck that you are afraid to drive.lucky this took place in my own yard, and not out of town or something.
#27 fuse. 20amp micro fuse. Melted and failed. Engine cranks but will not turn over. This is a known issue among f150 owners. This could be a potential safety and fire hazard as the fuse is being overheated and fails. Scorch marks and melting are noted on the fuse. Vehicle was parked. Fire could result.
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.
On 2 separate occasions with me and 1 occasion with a ford service tech. (all of which occurred between the dates of sept 13 and 18, 2019) my f150 engine shutdown while driving.my first occurrence was while attempting to accelerate onto interstate 24 in chattanooga,tn.second occurrence was when i was driving in heavy afternoon traffic on us hwy 27 in rossville, ga.both times i was able to coast the vehicle to side of the road or parking lot to re start vehicle.after each occurence i took vehicle to a mechanic to check vehicle.the first time was a local shop due to know dealerships close by, second time i was close to mtn view ford in chattanooga, tn.after trouble shooting and vehicle shutting off on the technician, they were able to trace the use down that is pictured.the truck did not leave any error codes or indications to issue.when the vehicle was not causing the immediate issue it was running fine with no problems indicated.the technician did indicate to me that this has happened several times that he was aware of.with that being said, i feel that this issue should have been placed into a recall due to the danger that i encountered with the vehicle shutting off while on interstate and major highway with no indications of issues.i have attempted to contact ford about this issue but their automated system does not offer a path to report issues.i was told that this fuse is the one for the fuel pump.mdf
No radio and time flashes on display.
Uncommanded blower motor speed change or recirculation door movemant.
Turned on the rear window defroster to clear the window of ice, the unit overheated, did not blow a fuse, instead got so hot it burned and smoked and shattered the window!this happened in motion.this is extremely dangerous! ford needs to recall these windows!
The truck was brought for service initially because the ac blower was not working properly. It was turning on and off by itself. The dealership determined that the motor speed control module has to be replaced in order to operate normally. The module was replaced on 7/13/18. On 11/20/18, i brought the truck back to service because the ac blower wasn't working again. And after further investigate, the technician found the pigtail going to the module replaced burned. Both of the times, the service was paid in order to get the work done, and the reason behind this issue was a high resistance caused the harness to get burned.
First incident happened yesterday 4/17/21 when driving approximately 25 miles am hour the vehicle would not shift up from first gear,or it into neutral and then back to drive and it worked like normal. Today 4/18/21 i've had two incidents,the first while driving 45 mph the vehicle dropped down to 2nd gear,rapidly slowing. I showed to first gear,put into neutral and back to drive and everything was fine.while driving on the highway at approximately 65-70 mph my truck suddenly downshifted from 6th to 2nd gear,decelerating extremely quickly.i was able to pull over to an exit and put the vehicle into neutral and then back into drive and the transmission resumed like normal. This is extremely concerning that this will happen when driving at highway speeds and the fact this vehicle is my daily driver and i usually have my kids in the vehicle with me. Im very concerned about the safety of driving now especially after learning this exact issue was recalled on the vehicles a year before mine with three same 6 speed transmission,but not on my year.
On december 5, 2018, my 2014 ford f-150 fx4 caught fire at the bottom of my driveway.i went out to start my truck to take the garbage to the road for pickup.i put the truck in park and began to unload the garbage from the back of truck. After unloading the last bag, i noticed smoke coming from under the hood, by the time i went to pop the hood smoke and already taken over the cab and a fire had started underneath the passager side dashboard. I rushed to call 911, by the time the fire department arrived the truck was a total loss.the heater stopped working moments before the fire and the fire department ruled it an electrical fire, likely from the heat source.
Rear defroster failure; also impacts heated outside mirrors, rendering them inoperable.according to dealer, this is a fairly common failure and only fix is to replace the rear window (~$1200.00).
Rear drivers side panel wwindshield shattered . Turned on rear windshield defroster and after a minute or so heard a large bang. Was driving to work. Straight. Temp wa in the low twenties. Got snow and ice in lake county illinois.
I was pulling a empty trailer and it started down shifting at 35-45 mph i had to put it in neutral while driving then back to drive to gear up it did it around 75 mph the first time and wi5h a trailer had to come to a haunting stop on a highway it's in the past hour done it 5 times .... This is not safe!
Driving at 30 mph and suddenly an orange wrench shows on the instrument panel.the vehicle is unresponsive and shuts down into a safe mode where i have no power to the gas pedal but it steers and drives very slowly.it has happened 2 times since owning the vehicle for only 7 months, it's a scary position to be in when you're in the flow of traffic and suddenly aren't.i've read on line reports of this incident on several ford products.i took it to the shop for service and they have no reason it's happening they indicated that since it's an intermittent problem there is nothing they can do to solve it.......nonsense.
This is an intermittent problem.the right rear door will not unlock or open from the inside or outside. Does not matter if the engine is on, the vehicle is moving or stopped.i feel this is a safety issue as the passenger on this side can not escape in an emergency.
Sporadically, over the last 6 months (but with more frequency in recent months), at various speeds or with no other common denominator, the truck loses power to the transmission, the speedometer drops to zero, and the wrench light comes on. The only way to keep the truck functioning is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and restart it.most times, this will fix the issue.it's obviously been dangerous in multiple instances. While the truck is a 6-speed, 2014 ford f-150, it was built in november of 2013. Regardless of this, my vin is not part of recall 19v433000 or 19v075000, despite the same issue as the recalls. These additional manufacture dates should be included. I was alarmed to see the numerous claims with the same issue, outside of the recall.ford needs to make additional considerations to that effect.this is our 5th ford between my wife and i, of which 4 were trucks. Considering ford's negligent flaw hasn't been considered for any recall, despite overwhelming evidence from its owners, it will definitely be the last ford purchased by us, our extended family, and any of our business and personal associates to whom we will pass along this concern. It's extremely disappointing.
Driving down the interstate at 70 mph, the "check brake system" warning flashed on the dash. I went to push the brake pedal and it was locked in place. I physically could not depress the pedal, not even enough to disable the cruise control. I had to switch cruise off on the wheel, shift to neutral, and coast to a stop on the shoulder of the highway. Shut the truck down, turned back on and the code disappeared and my brakes worked again. Later that day, the exact same thing happened on the interstate again. Physically could not depress the brake pedal. It was like it was locked in place and i could not bring the truck to a stop. I took my truck into the dewey fordin ankeny, ia a couple nights later and they began diagnostics. 4 days later, they could not reproduce the problem, and advised me to come pick up the truck. Nothing against the dealer, as they cannot fix what they can't reproduce, and they were kind enough to provide a loaner and a discount on the diagnostics fee, but ford corporate really needs to get involved on this safety concern. I've tried calling their customer service, but they will do nothing until it can be diagnosed. If the dealer can't find the problem, then ford needs to send a product support representative to diagnose it themselves. As of today, my truck has done this 4 times since leaving dewey, but always when i am too far from their store to drop it off. At this point, im scared to drive my truck in traffic or with passengers. Please use your powers to relay this to ford as we have a serious problem that they are ignoring. I have a receipt from the dealer for the diagnostics if a copy of this is needed for my complaint.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle would crank, but not start. The contact referenced an unknown technical service bulletin (tsb) regarding a fuse burning out that needed to be relocated. The tsb also indicated that the fuse should be covered by a ford warranty. The vehicle was taken to sonora ford (13254 mono way, sonora, ca 95370, (209) 532-5593) where it was determined that the fuse was not covered even after the contact showed them the tsb. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.
I have a 2014 f150 ecoboost and there is a recall from ford for a temporary loss of signal with the output shaft speed sensor however not for my year. I tried to go to ford to have them reflash the pcm like the other years they could not do it i have had my truck go into 1st gear on several occasions while on the freeway at 60+ mph. I have had it stutter in 1st gear and then shift to 5th with the wrench light turning on while trying to pull out into traffic
The rear defroster shattered the rear window.
Rear defrost stopped working just after 36000 mile warranty expired,defrost button does not light up. Im am an asc certified tech, checked all the fuses and relays, the defrost grid has power to the rightside of the three panel rear window only, power to left isnt there, iveseen alot of people complaining about there right rear glass shattering out of nowhere after using rear defrost. Possibly same issue?,doenst matter if vehicle is being driven or not.
Door lock on both rear doors get stuck in the lock position. I physically have to take pliers to pry up on the knob to unlock the back doors.
2014 ford f-150 serious loss of power steering issue, notice going out at certain inclines of highway, checked fuse on batter looks ok, noticed different levels of ac/heat fan speed variations, warning lt. Reads check advance traction control. Should be a recall according to complains i've read on issue..
While sitting in my truck waiting for the windows to finnish defrosting, i heard a loud bang. I looked behind me and saw that the back window had shattered. I immediately got out to investigate as it sounded like a gun shot! i live on a military base and violence of this kind is very unlikely. I looked around to see that there was no one around that could have hit or thrown something at my truck. I called the insurance agent and had an appt set for window replacement. When the tech arrived i asked him if he had seen anything like this before, a window just breaking on its own. He said that he sees a fair number of 2014 f150s with this problem, and even thought there was a recall for such. He said the heating element in the rear defrost shorts out and breaks the window. When i called ford they said there was no recall and they have never heard of such a problem. A simple search on the internet shows a plethra of simular complaints not just on 2014 models, but 2015 and 2016 as well. This is dangerous! i could have been driving and had a serious accident as a result of this. Worse even would be if my daughter was sitting back there. I am tired of the money hungry corporations not doing their ethical and moral job of keeping their customers safe, and this will not change unless we hold them accountable. Thank you for the service you provide to americans. I hope to see a recall about this issue.
I have a notification light on the dash stating that my left rear door is open, when in fact, it is not. There is a faulty wire i believe that is causing this issue. Also, i cannot lock my entire truck with the key fob because of this issue, and i can only do it manually. I feel that this is a safety issue. Also, my front map lights and the rear window defrost does not work. I live in a cold state (indiana) so it would be nice to have these electrical issues taken care of. Just like most people, i have children that are frequently in my truck. Nothing has been hit or damaged in any way. This just started happening for the first time in june 2019. I've told my local ford dealer, but they tell me that since it is not on recall i will have to pay for it out of pocket. I am a disabled veteran, and that's not necessarily the easiest thing for me to do, especially since it is out of warranty. I've though about getting an extended warranty, but how can i be sure that will cover the cost of the repairs? thank you
The 20 amp fuse for the fuel pump relay overheated and melted causing the engine to stop.this problem had been showing up intermittently, only when starting,for about 2 weeks.searched on-line and found that this is a very common problem for f150 trucks and that ford is aware of the problem, has issued a service kit to change the fuse to a larger version but has not issued a recall.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While operating the vehicle, the rear defroster failed to operate. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer (amato ford, 1510 main st, mukwonagon, wi) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified and no s*olution was offered. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Truck was parked in driveway. Remote started, sat for 5 minutes in driveway. Entered truck and heard a pop. Looked in rear view mirror and noticed drivers side pane of rear power sliding window had shattered, apparently the rear window defroster over heats the glass and causes it to explode. Having dome some research this has been happening to many f-150 owners from 2010 right up to 2015. Ford refuses to replace glass. Ha there been a child in a rear facing car seat in the vehicleit could have caused injury from the shards of glass. This is a wide spred problem from what my research shows.i implore the nhtsa to issue a recall on the defroster and have ford motor company absorb the cost of repair and replacement of windows affected by defective defrosters. Vehicle has 30k miles on it, not accidents, no negligence by owner
While driving at highway speed 65 to 75 the truck just shuts down ,stops running this is the 4th time in 5 years this has happened to us almost had a major rear end mishap as a semi was on us going up a bridge in heavytraffic,a wrench showed up on dash display truck started but died 3 more times at road speed in 20 miles.
The service advancetrac and hill descent control fault come up on my dashboard and my power steering does not work. While most vehicles can be driven without power steering but this truck is not drivable without that feature. The lights and blinkers do not work. These faults happened while driving and i almost lost control of my vehicle and crashed.i'm lucky i didn't hit and kill somebody.this is a huge safety issue for which afford already knows about but refuses to fix our truck.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that the power locks on the driver's side door malfunctioned. As a result, the contact had to manually lock and unlock the door. Jim hudson ford (1201 w main st, lexington, sc 29072, (803) 359-4114) advised the contact to call the manufacturer to be added to the list for an unknown recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to nhtsa. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000.
When i am driving,and i attempt to accelerate(press gas pedal) the engine loses power. I then have to coast to a stop and put vehicle in park,turn engine off and restart, and drive on. Sometimes it does it again.sometimes it doesn't. It's does it when i'm on road ways. Dangerous it happens in traffic.
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.
Vehicle was stopped at a red light with the operator's foot on the bake, vehicle began to accelerate unintentionally, operator was unable to stop and avoid collision of car in front of truck until the vehicle was placed in park. This prevented a collision from occurring. Incident occurred a second time on 1/22/2015 when vehicle was stopped at intersection. Truck narrowly missed oncoming traffic before transmission was forced by operator into "park". Continuing to apply pressure on the brakes and pumping the brakes were not successful in stopping the acceleration of the vehicle.
Problem: crank no start. No check engine light. Turns out to be the fuse for the fuel pump. Heats up on one side and looks to be melting. Never pops the fuse. Allows the truck to start sometimes and when you least to expect it just keeps cranking with no start. Afraid it may cause a fire!
As i was entering an on ramp to the freeway, the vehicle suddenly downshifted from 5th gear to 2nd and the speedometer jumped from around 45 to less than 20 and back up again.after getting on the freeway, the vehicle seemed to have paused, the speedometer again jumped from 65 down and up again.
My 2014 f-150 platinum edition rear driver side window glass cracked this morning.auto started my truck and the defrost automatically turns on as it's warming up the truck. 5 min later after getting in the truck drove the truck for 10 sec or so and i heard a loud pop! my glass had shattered into the pieces. Did research and seen i'm not the only one who has had this happen to them. The defrost sensor has been causing this to the 09-14 f150 and ford is not doing anything about this.. I called a couple dealerships and asked them about it and they also told me they have had a lot of other people call them about this issue. What is ford going to do about this? i don't really want to pay 1k out of pocket to fix something that's an issue with the manufacturer. If this has happened to anyone else, please put in a complaint so this can get resolved sooner than later! i'm just glad no one was in the back seat when this shattered at it was extremely loud and could've shattered on them! thank you !
While driving down the interstate at 70 mph. Truck died completely, dash flashed "put into park" my 15 year old son was driving and has sence to put it in neutral instead. He manuvered to the shoulder from the inside lane. The truck interior lights come on, but nothing else. No power to anything when key is inserted. We are lucky we weren't killled. This happened last saturday january, 27 2018. Road conditions were dry and it was around 50 degrees.65,000 miles on truck. 2014 f150 eco- boost 3.5
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 55 mph, the advance tracking warning light illuminated and the signal lights failed. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.
First received advance trac warning, then hill descent warning and thenpower steering failure indication. Power steering failure was sudden and unexpected and almost caused an accident when in motion doing a turn, due to electronic power steering system lock up which prevented the front wheels from turning as much as expected. This is a very dangerous unexpected condition and could have caused a serious accident with injuries or worse if occurred at highway speeds!
Truck has 46665 miles. When driving first 10 minutes (city driving) vehicle shudders, shows wrench indicator and goes into limp home mode (no accelerator). Have to pull over, turn off ignition and restart engine. Problem code shows p2112 (throttle actuator control system...stuck closed). This may happen 3 times in first 15 minutes of driving, but then goes away when car warms up. I have also noticed abnormal exhaust smoke and bad gas mileage. Having truck go into limp home mode in middle of traffic is very dangerous.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the instrument panel display screen failed to illuminate.

When taking off into traffic the truck simply dies, this doesn't happen all the time. When i try to crank the truck the it tries to turn over, but sounds like no fuel it getting through.the last time this happen my wife and son pulled out of the subdivision onto two lane road going up hill.i had the truck towed to the nearest parking lot.when looking at the fuse box i noticed the 20amp mirco fuse was burnt/melted into slot on the fuse panel. I was able to get the fuse out and replaced it with a 15amp mico fuse. The truckstarted up with no problems.my wife also told me that she has noticed the truck looses fuel pressure when going down the road.this happens occasionally.we have notice the battery lite comes on when the problem occur.when this happens i could usually wait 20 min and then it would start, but the last time it happen the 20 min waiting period didn't help. I took the truck to pinnacle ford in lexington and they told me there thewas known problem with a tech advisory bulletin associated to this problem. The fix the problem and i feel better my wife and children will not be suck on the road with a broken down truck.

The fuse block overheats and melts at fuse #27.this fuse controls the fuel system.my truck shut off in trafffic at rush hour and it would not restart.ford knows this is an issue and they have not publicly posted the fix for it and they charge for the fix that they know is an issue on their part.why should i pay for a defect on their side?
While i am driving with my pregnant wife in the vehicle the airbag light will illuminate saying that the airbag is off, i have to pull over while driving to have her get out of the vehicle and get back in for the light to turn off. It's a normal street in a development or on the road driving. Different speeds with flat roads, some have bumps others are recently paved asphalt. Happens intermittently, over a dozen times at different speeds. My vehicles vin doesn't fit the recall for the airbag issue that is already aware by ford. Took vehicle to ford dealership 4 times for this same issue, only thong done was a recalibration of the seat weight and exactly 2 weeks and 1 day later light came on again, unable to pull over i drove hoping to find a way to pull over for the safety of my wife and unborn child, the light turned off after 40 seconds of realizing it was on. A fully grown individual sitting in the seat weight 190+lbs has this happening to them. I have video footage and will try to attach it if possible. Most recently it happened today, 2/19/20 at 3:17pm.
Advance trac service warning light at 42000 miles on a muddy road. Followed manual for reset. It came back on in 200 miles on dry roads. Vehical has been washed of all mud.now all the brake light warnings are on on the dash. Abs, advance track service warning light, car with squiggle lines won't go off. Called for service. Reading this is a very common complaint!! recall????
2014 ford f-150 serious loss of power steering issue, notice going out at certain inclines of highway, checked fuse on batter looks ok, noticed different levels of ac/heat fan speed variations, warning lt. Reads check advance traction control. Should be a recall according to complains i've read on issue..
Warning lights came on dash about stability or traction control, no 4x4 lights were showing even though i had it in four wheel drive.within seconds i could not control my truck in the snow and the steering would not allow me to change my course of direction.this truck acted like it was not in four wheel drive. My truck slammed/slid sideways into a curb on the rotary by my home causing $2129.19 damages to tires and rims and front end parts.after i hit the curb the 4x4 light was showing as was the traction control lights and i was able to steer my truck and keeping it from dropping over an embankment.my speed was 15 miles per hour as i came towards the rotary.i contacted ford and received a call back 11/6/14 stating that i needed to go through my insurance and that my insurance company was welcome to subrogate this with ford legal counsel.the woman that called would not answer any question about what this all meant just that i needed to deal with my insurance company over and over.
First received advance trac warning, then hill descent warning and thenpower steering failure indication. Power steering failure was sudden and unexpected and almost caused an accident when in motion doing a turn, due to electronic power steering system lock up which prevented the front wheels from turning as much as expected. This is a very dangerous unexpected condition and could have caused a serious accident with injuries or worse if occurred at highway speeds!
The advance track keeps flashing needs servicing has been serviced but shows nothing wrong and the steering has locked up once while sitting still could not turn the wheel and again while driving just came out of a curve all most left the highway when it went to try to straighten up
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 turningwhile going from 35 to 70 mph on highway or side street. Only 19000miles
Loss of power steering while moving at highway speeds.power steering returns and fails off and on repeatedly.vehicle was recalled for this specific problem, but did not include this particular vehicle.steering also fails on city streets and comes off and on with no defined pattern.must be man handled to be steered.
Steering locked up while driving on highway with wife and grand daugther in vehicle,code came up problem with electric steering,has been in shop for 1 week.
Truck down shifts while driving. My pregnant wife and i were driving 70 mph on highway, when truck down shifted to 1st gear and nearly caused us to slide off road in the rain. Ford just recalled 2011-2013 for same problem!they need to recall 2014 as well! my truck was fixed at ford dealership.
Driving down the interstate at 70 mph, the "check brake system" warning flashed on the dash. I went to push the brake pedal and it was locked in place. I physically could not depress the pedal, not even enough to disable the cruise control. I had to switch cruise off on the wheel, shift to neutral, and coast to a stop on the shoulder of the highway. Shut the truck down, turned back on and the code disappeared and my brakes worked again. Later that day, the exact same thing happened on the interstate again. Physically could not depress the brake pedal. It was like it was locked in place and i could not bring the truck to a stop. I took my truck into the dewey fordin ankeny, ia a couple nights later and they began diagnostics. 4 days later, they could not reproduce the problem, and advised me to come pick up the truck. Nothing against the dealer, as they cannot fix what they can't reproduce, and they were kind enough to provide a loaner and a discount on the diagnostics fee, but ford corporate really needs to get involved on this safety concern. I've tried calling their customer service, but they will do nothing until it can be diagnosed. If the dealer can't find the problem, then ford needs to send a product support representative to diagnose it themselves. As of today, my truck has done this 4 times since leaving dewey, but always when i am too far from their store to drop it off. At this point, im scared to drive my truck in traffic or with passengers. Please use your powers to relay this to ford as we have a serious problem that they are ignoring. I have a receipt from the dealer for the diagnostics if a copy of this is needed for my complaint.
When driving this vehicle the steering seems to lock up making a slight adjustment going down the highway will throw you either to the right or to the left if making a turn it will not turn in all of a sudden it will release itself and suddenly throw you into a turns harder than what you wish and if you're not real quick to react you will almost crash this that this is happened several times to us and also to the technician who just drove the vehicle he almost wrecked my truck because of steering locked up on him on a 90-degree turn this is a very much a safety hazard and a safety feature other trucks are the same year have been recalled for this and i believe the recall should be expanded this is a issue that was continuing to happen
My truck doesn't want to steer right. It's very hard to steer and sometimes the steering wheel sticks. Heard they are having issues with the electronic steering in these trucks. The vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it's when you are going around a bend. I should not have to pay to get this fixed. This is a major safety issue. It happens everytime i drive.
Driving down road and lost power steering. Took all my strength to steer truck. Pulled over and discovered also lost turn signal, headlights didn't work. Two messages came up, check traction control and low battery power save mode. Might of been other things not working but didn't check for anything else. Drove it to ford dealer. Again took all my strength to turn steering wheel. Was driving down straight road about 20 mph. Very lucky didn't happen on corner or when wife driving it.
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...
2014 f150 ecoboost v6 - engine shudders and stalls upon rapid acceleration; issue has been addressed with "deflector shield" but this shield is already in place in my vehicle but the vehicle continues to have this issue - i feel the vehicle is unsafe but ford offers no assistance with resolution of the issue.
Driving down the highway, yellow wrench appeared on main screen.truck immediately went to limp mode.no acceleration available.difficult and dangerous to get to safety.turned off truck and waited a few minutes to restart and truck seemed fine.also, when cresting a hill in sixth gear and slightly lifting on the accelerator,the vehicle has a big thunk that can be felt throughout the vehicle.seems to be in the transmission.however, 'no codes' are generated for this or the yellow wrench.ford say possible electronic throttle body, lead frame for the transmission, or spark plugs.our sparks plugs are ford brand and new.there was a recall for this same issue for the 2011-2013 f150, but this doesn't include our truck as it's a 2014.this is a safety issue that deserves another recall and ford again to cover the repairs.this is happening to too many ford owners and someone will get hurt if they haven't already.there is a law suit against ford for several models with this same issue.please do the online research on this issue and see if something can be done.our truck isn't safe to drive and it's at the dealership for a second time.no resolution the first time because no codes are being saved by the computer.according to my research ford knew of these issues for years and they failed to take care of the computer code issue and fixed the faulty vehicles they sold.
Service advance track, abs, break lights all on. Break pedal fades to floor when held ford dealer said module failure. This same truck had recall for hydraulic failure was serviced in 2016 now they want $1600 for a new module then the service managersaid pedal was not spongey. Like i said standing still in any gear including park press the break and hold it it fades to the floor reel safe i'm sure. Abs and break light only go on when you move truck.service advance track on when engine started.
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
Steering return ability, steering rack.steering does not correct itself after turning must be manually done.
Service advancetrack and service brake system warning lights iluminated while driving on a highway in a straight line. No sharp turns or hard braking, just sraight line driving.
Warning light appears "service advancetrac", then lost power steering.this happened twice while driving the vehicle.happening intermittently.drove to ford dealership.diagnosis was defective electronic steering gear.ford had recall on this same issue by recall #14s09, but my truck was not included in recall.this is a safety issue and could have caused an awful accident. Obviously the epas steering gear is defective and vehicles with it need to be recalled before someone has a major accident.
Etb. We lost power on are 2014 f 150 eco boost doing 50 plus miles an hour .. Out of no where it started to not accelerate and just shut down . Check engine popped on we managed to move to the side . It started up after two attempts then check engine light came on .it drove to nearest shop to have code checked they said oh its the etb.. That's recalled.so we explored and researching why it's not on recall. We were about a moment away from being slammed into the concrete medium from behind.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that her husband was driving 70 mph, when the vehicle loss motive power and stalled without warning. The driver coasted the vehicle to shoulder and waited for approximately 10 minutes for the vehicle to resume normal operation. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle but was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred several times. An independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle 3 times but was unable to retrieve any fault codes. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure however, informed the contact that the vin was not subjected to a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
F150 repeatedly lost all acceleration and power.the truck went into a very limited low power state and many near collisions were narrowly avoided as the truck rapidly lost all acceleration and glided to a stop.a red wrench symbol appeared on the driver display stating a "mechanical" issue.this happened 50 plus times on surface streets and 10 plus times while on interstate highways under normal driving conditions. This issue got progressively worse over a two-week period culminating in the throttle body assembly being fully replaced.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the engine suddenly shut off.

While traveling on the highway we saw looked out the rearview mirror and saw white/gray smoke coming up from between the truck bed and the cab of the truck. We exited the freeway. While exiting the white/gray smoke turned to black then flames shot up. We pulled over and got out as the flames continued to grow. We attempted to put out the fire but it grew very fast. The back glass exploded and the entire cab and front of the vehicle was engulfed. 911 was called. Firefighters arrived and put out the fire. The vehicle and contents were a total loss. The fire department reports states that the fire was caused by a mechanical failure in the engine compartment or under the passenger compartment causing flames to show from the back of the vehicle and causing heavy damage to the front of the vehicle and passenger compartment.
Once more this truck has lunged without notice!! with the truck in my garage i pushed the button (inside the truck) to open the garage door, started the truck and as soon as i put in in reverse it lunged backwards just catching/hitting the bottom of the garage door as it was going up, some scuffs on the trucks tailgate trim and it bent the lower garage door panel and knocked it off the track. Ford has done squat to fix this issue along with other major issues this truck has from day one!! nhtsa please look into these issues!!
Timing chain rattle on start up, leading to complete failure
While traveling 75 mph on my way home from work my truck just shut off.there were only 2 lanes with no shoulder.i could have been killed or killed others.i got lucky.i took the car to our local ford dealer and they diagnosed it and said i needed to replace the throttle body.of course i am out of warranty and being force to pay the $400 bill.the service guy proceeds to tell me that ford knew about this issue years ago but it's not common any more.why on earth was this not recalled.if ford knew about a problem with their vehicles that could potentially kill their customers or other travelers then they should have done the right thing and recalled the vehicle!

When i am driving,and i attempt to accelerate(press gas pedal) the engine loses power. I then have to coast to a stop and put vehicle in park,turn engine off and restart, and drive on. Sometimes it does it again.sometimes it doesn't. It's does it when i'm on road ways. Dangerous it happens in traffic.

Was traveling behind two vehicle doing approximately 50 mph in a 75.went to pass and pressed the accelerator, and nothing happened.the vehicle starting shuddering, and stalled as i pulled along side the first vehicle.i let off the accelerator and attempted it again, still nothing.with loss of power, i had to move towards the shoulder since over taking the vehicle was impossible.the lasted for approximately 10 seconds, during which the check engine was flashing. Approximately 2 months prior, it happened while driving to dallas, but not to this extent.weather condition for both incident was heavy rain, and i had been driving in rain for several hours.engine code showed p0306 for cyl 6 misfire.
While accelerating up a hill traveling about 45mph the vehicle suddenly lost power and went into "limp home" mode.fortunately i had enough momentum to make it to a side road as the country road had no shoulders. After shutting off the engine and restarting, everything ran normally again. Potentially very dangerous situation. Online search points to possible issue with the electronic throttle body.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle made abnormal noises. The contact pulled over to restart the vehicle. Once the vehicle was restarted, anti-freeze fluid leaked out. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

Truck has 46665 miles. When driving first 10 minutes (city driving) vehicle shudders, shows wrench indicator and goes into limp home mode (no accelerator). Have to pull over, turn off ignition and restart engine. Problem code shows p2112 (throttle actuator control system...stuck closed). This may happen 3 times in first 15 minutes of driving, but then goes away when car warms up. I have also noticed abnormal exhaust smoke and bad gas mileage.

3.5 eco boost engine runs rough at times and when passing at highway speeds sometimes goes into "safe mode" and shuts down to idle when under full acceleration. Mileage is constantly going down, from 22mpg to 13mpg. Dealer says this is new to them.the dealer said they found tracks on the spark plugs and changed them, new plug wires were supposedly bad, replaced both turbos. Still no difference.i have a video of this happening with the eng check light coming on and after the dealer said there was no indication of this in obd2 memory.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle would crank, but not start. The contact referenced an unknown technical service bulletin (tsb) regarding a fuse burning out that needed to be relocated. The tsb also indicated that the fuse should be covered by a ford warranty.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.
While going up a steep incline, i went off of the gas to slow down as i was approaching a corner.when i got to the corner, i attempted to turn and realized i didn't have any power steering.when i looked at the gauges, low oil pressure was displayed on the dashboard and the engine was no longer running.the truck did restart and i was able to drive away.ford is stating that since there weren't any codes, there is nothing they could do.this is a very dangerous situation and could potentially cause an accident.
Vehicle develops a coolant leak from the quick connect fittings on the turbo. The leak started at 30k miles.fittings circled in green leaked first. Then the blue ones began leaking at 31k miles and when repairing the ones in yellow were required to be replaced as well
Engine oil is getting contaminated with gasoline.oil is getting diluted and the levels of vapor off gassing could lead to a fire.dealer states they have never seen this before but numerous reports are on line from many areas.

2014 f150 ecoboost v6 - engine shudders and stalls upon rapid acceleration; issue has been addressed with "deflector shield" but this shield is already in place in my vehicle but the vehicle continues to have this issue - i feel the vehicle is unsafe but ford offers no assistance with resolution of the issue.
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.

1) due to a poor design, myself and multiple others users have had issues with faulty / poorly designed coolant hoses. These hoses would randomly disconnect or spill coolant. Currently, my truck is leaking coolant and even after replacing the hose, it is still occurring. See below link to thread: - https://www.f150forum.com/f70/2011-5-0l-coolant-leak-252081/2) it is a common issue for the back window to randomly blow out due to issue with design the heated windows. This could cause a hazard since the driver could be distracted when the window blows out. See below forum issue:- http://fordauthority.com/2017/12/another-ford-f-150-owner-claims-the-rear-window-shattered-despite-no-impact/- https://www.f150forum.com/f38/exploding-rear-window-145329/photos are in the forums.

Cylinders 5, 6, 7 and 8 all blew head gaskets one right after the other starting with number 8.
I recently financed a truck and the seller did not disclose that it was a flood damage vehicle. I did auto check and found out there was also recalls on the truck when he sold it to me. That he didn't fix recalls are for the seatbelts n the bolts for the seabelts. The truck also is leaking oil. He also tempered with the engine lights because it's leaking oil but no lights turned on. I want a full refund of every dollar i have given him. He also lied on the odometer .
Check engine light.informed by dealership the timing chain is the problem. 73,000 miles.very few miles a year and no towing.

Sounded like an exhaust leak coming from engine compartment 71604 miles .. Loss of power..needed to have exhaust manifold and gasket replaced 9drivers side)..previous issues-- ring and pinion 62,500, throttle body 67900
Driving in heavy 5 lane traffic at about 50-55 miles an hour, in the 3rd lane from the right on i580 east. I accelerated to get into the express lane and when i was starting to merge suddenly there was no power. It didn't matter how much i pressed the gas pedal it had no power. The engine was still running. I had to quickly signal and coasted to the shoulder of the freeway. There was a wrench icon on the dash and a warning that the truck was stuck in 4x4. I turned off the engine and after reading the manual, i started the truck and all seemed fine until i tried to merge again and again no power from the gas pedal. I had the truck towed to a ford dealer.
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.
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.
Exhaust manifolds are warping causing a severe exhaust leak at around 45k miles. Vehicle sounds like a bird chirping or wild animal screaming when accelerating.this repair is quite costly and requires several parts and labor hours. No vehicle with this low miles should require such a costly repair so early. Ford needs to make it right with all owners of these vehicle's by recalling and fixing the issue with the engine exhaust manifolds warping. I was quoted $1,700 per manifold x2 to get the leaks fixed and my truck safely running down the road again without making embarrassing noises. Anyone who has had to make this repair should be fully reimbursed for the parts and labor by ford. When they make the repair they replace the failed parts with the exact same parts the truck come with so until they are forced to come up with a solution all us unfortunate 3.5l ecoboost owners will be replacing these costly exhaust manifolds. Thank you for your time.nathan
Traveling down a two-lane road about 50 mph when the truck's engine suddenly lost all power and an error message popped up on the screen.had to stop in the middle of the road blocking traffic due to no shoulder.had to put truck in park, turn off motor and only then was able to get motor running again.managed to get 1/4 mile back home.found out from my obd diagnostics that the throttle body was stuck.only option was to replace the throttle body to ensure it didn't occur in the middle of the road or worse, a major intersection.no problems since replacement.
Two times when on an expressway at highway speeds during a rain storm i have had my engine lose power andthe 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 engineand 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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled and restarted. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to best ford lincoln (579 amherst st, nashua, nh 03063, (603) 889-0161), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact researched online andstated the failure was due to the drive train. The failure mileage was 173,000.
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 f-150 3.5l ecoboost. Engine will completely lose power and go into "limp mode" with orange wrench. Dealer claims they cannot retrieve problem code so i bought a obd scanner and dtc code reads as p2112. This is the second time i will have to get the electronic throttle body replaced. The first time the truck had approx. 62,000 miles on it, this time it has approx. 111,000. This is absolutely ridiculous. Both times this part has failed i have had my entire family in the truck and have had to literally dodge semi trucks and other cars nearly causing serious accidents to make it to a safe shoulder. Waiting for a factory recall, i will not let this go. Im afraid to drive this vehicle at this point.
2014 ford f-150 xlt crew cab 4 door 5.4 coyote motor... I'll be driving down the road highway city street private road doesn't matter truck will shimmy go to 5th gear and stay there airbag light will come on display will save remove items from passenger seat.... It is done this about 10 times and a two-week time frame i can stop my truck turn it off wait a minute start it back up and it'll do fine for a couple hours sometimes a day and do it all over again
Vehicle would lose all ability to accelerate or use any type of throttle control while driving on highway. Had to continually drift to a shoulder on the highway to turn off vehicle because the throttle body went bad.extremely dangerous, vehicle became inoperable and unsafe to be on any roadway.
I took my truck to oil change next day i noticed some smoke from the hood, i think, is just some oil spill somewhere and it is all. But the smoke keep appearing every morning, i start using the heat and the smell of oil burning was inside, so i stopped and check what is going on i don't see anything, so i decided to take back to the dealership so they can check what is going on, before i make to the dealership the engine light starts blinking and the truck shaking when i get there i splain everything to the guys, they check everything and tell me the turbo has a like. They supported getting the truck fixed on next week, let's see how everything turns.
Motor has begun to make a load clanking sound when starting.i have been informed it is the timing chain
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving, the engine power reduced and the vehicle stalled on a hill. The contact stated that the gears failed to shift properly. The vehicle was reversed down a hill and the contact was able to pull off the roadway. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The vehicle was towed to a repair facility to be diagnosed, but the resultswere unknown. The vehicle was towed back to the contact's residence and was unable to be driven. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
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!?
While in motion at highway speed (55-70mph) and city speed (20-35mph)the vehicle lost power and/or hesitated upon acceleration several times over the course of 3 days the middle of may 2018. After diagnosis by ford dealership that timing chain on the ecoboost engine with only about 75,000 miles on it required replacement. About 5 days after timing chain replacement the hesitation returned and upon diagnosis by ford dealership it was determined the phasers were bad. Despite numerous complaints and reports of this occurring in 2011-2015 ford f 150 ecoboost models in america and canada ford refuses to admit there is a defect. While maybe not directly a safety issue i believe it is as one of the failures occurred on the interstae in heavy traffic while passing a semi truck and power was lost and evasive action had to be taken to avoid a collision due to the timing chain power failure. Can't argue with what actually happened, if that isnt a safety concern for ford or the nhtsa i don't know what is. Defective system for 2011-2015 ford f150 ecoboosts
When trying to accelerate in my truck on the highway, i had a jerking motion with reduction in speed.the check engine light came on so i took it into a ford dealership.they said the code p0016 represents a tsb out on ecoboost engines for timing chain stretched.the cost for me to fix is $4100.thi
3.5 eco boost engine has a dead spot in it. Mash on the gas pedal and doesn't do anything, then sprints off. It has done this several times. Also there is a small roar at times coming from left side of engine when accelerating. The sprinting will occur other times when accelerating. Haven't taken it back to dealer but i'm going to.
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.
I drove my f-150 eccoboost truck to the snow, same area i have been hundreds of times and suddenly smoke burst from the engine, then flames shot out around the hood, popped the hood and fought the fire for half an hour, it kept restating.it stranded myself and children, and we had a harrowing experience that was pretty dicey.ford had just put in a new engine, at my cost, +14,000.00, after the timing chain failed. They would not repair it at their cost, even though i have copies of the fault codes from before the failure of the timing chain that destroyed the old engine. The new one had under 10,000 miles on the new engine, probably about5,000 miles on it.we had driven on the relatively flat grade mainline road, and drove up about 0.8 miles, climbing maybe 400 ft elevation over that distance.i was in the process of turning the vehicle around when the engine burst into flames.it was on a gravel road.we had traveled from home, 35.2 miles.
While driving on a country road, the truck lost all power and service wrench came on. I pulled to side of a 2 lane rd and coasted to a stop. Turned the cr off and on again and code was gone. I drove for about 4 minutes and the truck lost power again. This repeated about 4 times as i was in a mountain area with no cell service. I had to to keep trying to coast as far as i could to find service. Finally after about an hour of stalling on the side of the road, i was able to get cell service and contact help. At 1am we got a tow to the dealer that just repaired the vehicle. They said the problem was unrelated to the service just performed and we had a bad throttle body. The item was replaced.
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.

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.
I have a 2014 f-150 3.5l ecoboost truck.... It has approximately 72,000 miles that are mainly long haul and not short around town stop/start miles. My understanding is this does not qualify for repair under warranty.i have recently experienced a total loss of engine power without any warning. If i turn off the engine and restart then it will go back to full power for a short period of time and then cut out again.this is no fun making a right hand turn in rush hour traffic in the city... Very dangerous in fact. This has occurred whilst driving on the highway, driving around the city and sometimes going up a hill. I am not a vehicle expert and do not know what is the cause. I visited ford and even they were not sure. I will visit another dealer to see if i can get better information. My concern is about driving across town in heavy traffic and having the vehicle cut out on me again.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the power train fault warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle's power seized. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after one attempt, but the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to tuttle-click's capistrano ford (33301 camino capistrano san juan capistrano, ca 92675) where it was diagnosed that the carburetor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000.
The trucks overheats and ignition coils fail. This mainly happens when traveling through the mountains.this causes the truck to lose power and leaves me stranded on the highway broke down. This has been a problem ever since i purchased the truck new. Ford has been absolutely no help in solving the problem. I have documentation of over ten ignition coils failing and multiple engine over heatings.
The coolant in my vehicle had leaked out at the first sign of unusually cold weather here in atlanta. I had to wait a week to get the hoses/orings to fix my vehicle because ford co. Reported that the parts were unavailable because several thousands of vehicles that had the same failing parts were trying to order during the cold weather last week. Now that is is replaced, it is still leaking the coolant out. My mechanic says leaking this much coolant is a safety hazard due to it harming engine/motor and vehicle fire. The hoses and o rings last week that they put on may also be compromised., as they are leaking too. Sure would like to bring this to attention of ford co.
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.
Throttle body went out after 40,000 miles. Driving down the road wrench icon pops up and a few seconds later the truck stalls and engine cuts out.take it to ford and that part is not covered under my extended warranty.. Big surprise. Talk to customer service and there is nothing they will do either. So out 600 because ford knowingly sells these vehicles when they know that thousands of people are having the exact same problem.
While driving down the interstate at 70 mph. Truck died completely, dash flashed "put into park" my 15 year old son was driving and has sence to put it in neutral instead. He manuvered to the shoulder from the inside lane. The truck interior lights come on, but nothing else. No power to anything when key is inserted. We are lucky we weren't killled. This happened last saturday january, 27 2018. Road conditions were dry and it was around 50 degrees.65,000 miles on truck. 2014 f150 eco- boost 3.5
Electronic throttle body. Wrench appearing, truck in limp mode, no power when accelerating, even while in park. Truck has 31,000 miles.
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.
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.

Out of warranty, timing chain problems, phasers not operating correctly, ford issued tsb: some 2011-2014 f-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.5l gasoline turbocharged direct injection (gtdi) engine and built on or before 10/10/2014 may exhibit a malfunction indicator lamp (mil) illuminated with diagnostic trouble code (dtc) p0016. Other dtcs and driveability concerns may also be present. This concern may be due to a worn primary timing chain.loss of power, exhaust smoking, loud rattle in engine during cold starts.
Engine coolant leaking from coolant recovery tank hose connection.
Warped exhaust manifold resulting in broken manifold stud, exhaust leak and excessive engine noise
Ford has obviously machined manifolds for the f-150 that are less than reliable and lack in quality.the exhaust manifolds are not hardened to endure engine heat and end up warping.this causes exhaust bolts to break, exhaust gaskets to be destroyed and in turn causes loud noises and potential damage to the motor on their f-150 trucks.ford obviously knows that they have a problem on their hands as they are currently dealing with 1,700+ vehicles that are sitting in service shops across the country for this very reason.i called ford to find out what was causing the issue and they explained that the materials just aren't holding up to driving conditions.ford is working redesigning the manifolds and releasing them for purchase.however, it you have an issue this large and have admitted that it is due to your own failure to produce a product/part that will endure normal driving conditions, this should be recalled and fixed by ford.personally, i don't drive this truck very often.it is stored inside and taken care of to the extreme.the vehicle had been parked in a garage for a few days to a week (approximately) and when i started the truck i heard a loud "clicking" noise.i took it out for a drive to see if i could locate the noise.at first is was just a fast clicking noise on acceleration.this became a loud clicking mixed with a whistling noise.thinking it was a bearing in one of the turbos, i took it in for inspection and they found the broken exhaust stud and damaged exhaust gasket.while working on fixing the issues, they found that all of this resulted from the deformed manifold.

Premature stretched timing chain and faulty phasers @ 43,000 miles. Diagnosed 1 month after power tran warranty was up.
New truck 2 weeks oldwent to pass another car and the engine cut out and almost stalled out.
There's a known problem with fuse #27 overheating and causing the fuel pump to stop working. Do a google search. It affects many years prior to 2014. This is serious as it can leave people stranded. It has not thrown a computer code from 2014 f15. Simply replacing the fuse did allow starting but it will happen again. There's a fuse relocation kit (el3z-14293a) available but ford should be responsible for performing this repair. The fuse does'nt blow out but the fuse socket overheats for some reason.

Entering the interstate and vehicle started to shuttere/shake and completely lost power any kind of power to the engine.the acceleratior wouldn't do anything. Warning light, an orange wrench appeared on the dash display. Vehicle would only coast but did not die. Was almost struck by a vehicle traveling at interstate speeds as vehicle wouldn't pull over fast enough. Vehicle decelerated really fast and it was terrifying watching a vehicle approached me and my child at interstate speed. Narrowly escaped disaster. Vehicle sat on side of road for about 30 seconds and power returned to vehicle.
Having lots of problems with misfires. Engine shakes and shutters during idle. If i try to pass a car on highway the truck will go iino a severe shake and then will not accelerate. Goes into limp mode and engine light comes on. Have to pull over and shut the truck down for a couple of minutes and then start back up. This is a constant problem. More pronounced during rainy days. Have replace coil packs spark plugs map sensors and still have not solved problem.

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.

I was driving down the highway and my 2014 ford f-150 lost all engine power. My engine was still running but my gas peddle would not work. I was passing a semi truck when this happened. My dash board had the little wrench turned yellow. I turned my engine off and restarted and vehicle ran again like nothing every happed. I took the vehicle to ford dealer and was told this is a know issue with said vehicle. My truck had 35,863 miles at the time of the incident. I was told a vehicle is still under factory warranty it would be fixed for free but parts are all on back order. I was advised i could still operate my truck until parts arrived. Today i was driving to work and merging onto the highway and again my truck lost all power with engine still running again. I was again able to shut vehicle down and restart but check engine light is now on. This time i was almost rear ended trying to exit the highway. *note: i did purchase this vehicle in canada while working in canada for the u.s. Dept of state so this will be a canadian vin
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated due to condensation accumulating in the motor.

2014 f150 ecoboost in service for 9 months. After driving 4-5 hrs in moderate rain, 35-40 degrees, during acceleration to enter interstate, engine stumbled badly with flashing check engine light. I was concerned of being rear-ended by traffic behind me. After a mile or two the flashing check engine light went out. The truck responded normally for about two hundred miles after this incident. Am on a trip and 1500 miles from home so have not yet taken the truck a dealer. This report is during mid-trip.
Turbo went in the truck which then cause engine and transmission damage. Mechanic says the engine, transmission, and turbos need to be replaced quoting over 10k.also, a neighbor had a 2014 f150 do the same exact thing around the same mileage and i thought that was very odd.
While driving at highway speed 65 to 75 the truck just shuts down ,stops running this is the 4th time in 5 years this has happened to us almost had a major rear end mishap as a semi was on us going up a bridge in heavytraffic,a wrench showed up on dash display truck started but died 3 more times at road speed in 20 miles.
3 times within a 2 month periodwhile driving, my truck displayed the wrench symbol in the evic screen and it went into limp mode.(the most recent was 2-28-18) pulled off to the side of the road, shut it down and restarted. Than it worked as nothing happened. Thank god i was not in heavy traffic or towing. This is an accident waiting to happen.

The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the instrumental panel lights would fail. The contact stated that the failure would occur intermittently without warning. The vehicle was taken to george coleman ford dealer located at 47 plaza dr, travelers rest, sc 29690 where the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed.

The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
Vehicle was on & operating for 20 minutes and after traveling 1-2 miles all of the sudden smoke came from engine compartment. Pulled over immediately, and turned vehicle off when a full fledged fire began in the engine block on passenger side. Ran into gas station and used a fire extinguisher to get fire under control. 911/fire dept was contacted and hosed down hood, engine compartment. Analysis showed the source of the fire was from the passenger side hood accent light (factory installed) short circuited and was the origin of the fire.
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 filed a complaint with ford cas-5917871 and was told again that there was nothing they could do. This item is such an important and integral part of a vehicle and it is totally thoughtless to engineer a component in this manner. My brother owns a 14 f150 also with the same option and he has experienced the same problem. Another friend has one also and he elected to go with after market lights....updated 09/22/15
This vehicle is equipped with div headlights. When turned on they have a distinct vertical line that runs from your far left vision to your far right vision. Below this line it is very bright and above this line it is total darkness. The line runs directly across the center of your vision. This line is constantly bouncing up and down with bumps and imperfections in the road. Extremely difficult to see.when driving through mountains, hills and low lines your vision is 100% blocked above the line. When the vehicle is driving down a grade youloose all vision to the upcoming grade. Ihave reported this to the ford motor co. Customer relations department. I was informed that these div lights were approved by the federal government and that is the way of the future. Please, have someone drive one of these trucks at night in the hills. Thank you
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the instrument panel gauges and signal lights failed to work. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 55 mph, the advance tracking warning light illuminated and the signal lights failed. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph and towing a 2012 kz sportsman travel trailer, the vehicle lost power. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (ed corley ford, 1870 w santa fe ave, grants, nm 87020, (505) 285-4695) where it was diagnosed that a fuse was damaged, the battery needed to be replaced, and a new relocation kit needed to be installed. Thevehicle was repaired; however,the failure recurred. On another occasion, while driving 55 mph and towing a 2012 kz sportsman travel trailer, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to mojave auto group (1010 w. Main st., barstow, ca 92311, 760-256-2241) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump and sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called the california highway patrol due tobeing stranded in an unsafe location. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: cas-16131250. The manufacturer stated that the resolution of the repairs would have to made with the local dealer. The failure mileage was 62,000.
Driving at a 25 mph got an engine warning light and engine shut down - extremely dangerous condition - error message on dash showed wrenches - error message when further investigated showed p2112 and p2112pe.engine shut down again - after restarting and driving for approximately 15 minutes at 50 miles per hour. Pulled to side of road restarted no error codes this time!yikes.this relates to the throttle body.looked online and found this happens a lot to ford trucks, and somehow my f150 2014 is not in the recall. I purchased part from dealer and ford said they would not refund any money as this vin number does not have any recalls.can you explain why this defective throttle body in my vehicle has not been recalled?p.s. I have attached a picture of oil that has leaked into the defective throttle body causing malfunction.
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.
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.
Got off the freeway, stopped at the stop sign proceeded to turn left, just as i was entering the intersection truck lost power and went into limp mode and would hardly move. I was barely able to get out of the way of an approaching semi tractor trailer before he went flying by. I was told later by the ford dealer that the problem was the throttle body, the same throttle body that ford replaced 1 yr and 4 months earlier. The dealer told me that he was amazed that ford had not done a recall on the throttle body, because they change roughly a few everyday that have failed, sometimes multiple times.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While accelerating from a stop light, the vehicle suddenly stalled, shut off, and the check engine and oil indicators illuminated. The vehicle could not be restarted and was towed to auffenberg ford (115 regency park, o'fallon, il) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump modulator was faulty and needed to be replaced. Also, a fuse needed to be relocated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Vehicle shut down and went into "limp mode" 1st time it happened was 10/16/19 with 44k miles. Dealer scanned with no codes returned so they just reprogrammed steering module and vehicle seemed fine.it started happening again on 06/25/20 with 47.5k mileswhile pulling out onto main road almost causing accident and several times on the highway at 70 mph almost causing accidents. Took to dealer and scan returned electronic throttle body error, scan code p2112.through advice we contactedford customer service and they were unable to assist in the repairs even though they had knowledge and admitted that this is a common problem. Ford applied an extended warranty for the same problem to several models up to 2013 vehicles, our is a 2014. We declined repairs at this time since we don't drive vehicle very often. Ford rep said to save our invoice for possible reimbursement in the future if a recall was issued.if we elected to have the repairs performed at a ford dealer, ford customer service offered to apply some sort of extended warranty for us in case of future problems. After driving this weekend the problem has not only persisted, but occurred more frequently than usual, mainly at high speeds making this safety issue even more dangerous. At this point, we have no option but to return to the dealer to have the work done. We still feel that this in not a normal wear and tear item.it is in fact a safety item that needs to be addressed immediately.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving, there was an abnormal fuel odor in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to sill-terhar motors (located at 150 alter st, broomfield, co 80020, (303) 469-1801) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
The throttle body failed causing the vehicle to go into limp mode. This happened on a back road but if it had occurred on a two lane road while passing it could have been very dangerous. A trouble light came on but when the vehicle was turned off and back on again the trouble light was off and the truck would drive normally. The code was not held in the memory so the dealership would not change it under warranty. I know of one other person with the same year and power train that had the same problem.
Throttle body failure while driving 70 mph on major highway with nowhere to pull over - total loss of acceleration while driving
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The contact looked under the hood of the vehicle and noticed that the fuel pump module was burned on one side. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall for the fuel pump module to be replaced. The contact was referred to nhtsa to file a complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 83,400.
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.
There's a known problem with fuse #27 overheating and causing the fuel pump to stop working. Do a google search. It affects many years prior to 2014. This is serious as it can leave people stranded. It has not thrown a computer code from 2014 f15. Simply replacing the fuse did allow starting but it will happen again. There's a fuse relocation kit (el3z-14293a) available but ford should be responsible for performing this repair. The fuse does'nt blow out but the fuse socket overheats for some reason.
3 times this has happened, 1st time i had just filled up went to pull off and proceeded to get on highway, truck started to run rough and had no throttle response and wrench light came on. Pulled off road, turned off, after a few minutes restarted truck and no problems the rest of the day. The 2nd time i was getting ready to get on the interstate and truck did the same thing started running rough, no throttle response and wrench light came on again. Pulled on shoulder and shut vehicle off, restarted after a few minutes again after the restart no problems ( no check engine light either time). Then on the same eveningit did it again and in traffic this time and with no where to pull over. Ford knows about the problem, every ford forum talks about the problem especially when it comes to the ecoboost. Someone is going to get killed with this problem. Took vehicle to dealer and there was a tsb to relocate the fuel pump driver fuse because they say it gets hot and shorts out( if that's the case it shouldn't do it right after initial start up). Again ford is playing with people's lives; all they care about is the dollars. .
While driving on a country road, the truck lost all power and service wrench came on. I pulled to side of a 2 lane rd and coasted to a stop. Turned the cr off and on again and code was gone. I drove for about 4 minutes and the truck lost power again. This repeated about 4 times as i was in a mountain area with no cell service. I had to to keep trying to coast as far as i could to find service. Finally after about an hour of stalling on the side of the road, i was able to get cell service and contact help. At 1am we got a tow to the dealer that just repaired the vehicle. They said the problem was unrelated to the service just performed and we had a bad throttle body. The item was replaced.
I have a 2014 ford f-150motor 5.0i was stranded in the middle of the highway with all my family aboard in the middle of the night and 18 wheels speed close by my side . The truck just shut down on me without notice , on the dash it showed i still had 45 miles before empty and the light for the gas never went on . I called roadside assistance and they have to send a tow truck to pick us and left us at a dealer nearest to where the truck shut down . We did not have any idea if it need oil or gas my daughter drove about 4 1/2 hrs to get to us as we waited for at a 24 restaurant till she got to us we went back to the dealer to try to add gas to the truckand to our surprise the truck started on the first try . I heard there is a recall at this time on a ford focus that so happened to have the same part & problem we encountered . Related with the gas tank
While travelling down any road the electrical throttle body will stop working putting the truck into a "limp home mode."ford has done a "consumer satisfaction program 13n03" for previous vehicles to the tone of 1.6 million vehicles.they have not fixed the problem at this point and refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. Additionally, after refueling, several attempts were needed to start the vehicle. The contact also stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was undriveable. A dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
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.
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 latest case is supposed to be still pending (ford case #: cas 12832076). I have called the ford regional customer service manger 3 (three) times over the last two (2) days, and have not received a returned called on the cas 12832076. Is this what the nhtsa agreed to? the next information provided only pertains to the last instance of this recurring problem.
While driving at normal speed (35-45 mph) 4x4 warning light came on and vehicle lost all power on county road with light traffic. Stopped vehicle and turned ignition off/on. Began driving again and failure re-occurred with addition of "check enigne" light (error code p2112).first failure happened on 25aug16 ~26000 miles on vehicle while still under initial warranty while entering 70 mph highway.second failure happened on 8aug19 ~67000 miles on vehicle out of warranty while on 45 mph county road.each time throttle body (bl3z-9e926-b) was replaced by a ford mechanic at a dealership.
3 times within a 2 month periodwhile driving, my truck displayed the wrench symbol in the evic screen and it went into limp mode.(the most recent was 2-28-18) pulled off to the side of the road, shut it down and restarted. Than it worked as nothing happened. Thank god i was not in heavy traffic or towing. This is an accident waiting to happen.
On 2 separate occasions with me and 1 occasion with a ford service tech. (all of which occurred between the dates of sept 13 and 18, 2019) my f150 engine shutdown while driving.my first occurrence was while attempting to accelerate onto interstate 24 in chattanooga,tn.second occurrence was when i was driving in heavy afternoon traffic on us hwy 27 in rossville, ga.both times i was able to coast the vehicle to side of the road or parking lot to re start vehicle.after each occurence i took vehicle to a mechanic to check vehicle.the first time was a local shop due to know dealerships close by, second time i was close to mtn view ford in chattanooga, tn.after trouble shooting and vehicle shutting off on the technician, they were able to trace the use down that is pictured.the truck did not leave any error codes or indications to issue.when the vehicle was not causing the immediate issue it was running fine with no problems indicated.the technician did indicate to me that this has happened several times that he was aware of.with that being said, i feel that this issue should have been placed into a recall due to the danger that i encountered with the vehicle shutting off while on interstate and major highway with no indications of issues.i have attempted to contact ford about this issue but their automated system does not offer a path to report issues.i was told that this fuse is the one for the fuel pump.mdf
We had sold the house and were moving. Truck was parked in front of house with travel trailer attached to hitch. Preparing to drive away, and had no brakes. Checked brake fluid and had none. Took other car to purchase, came back and filled, and brake fluid all drained out. Had to unhook trailer and have vehicle towed. Local dealer replaced master brake cylinder and booster the next day. Spent $719 plus finding accommodations for the night,dealer said there was no recall at that time.drove nearly 600 miles, and that night we lost power. Andhad to have the truck towed again.this time they said it was a defective throttle body.had to stay 1 night in a hotel, then 3 more nights in anrv park waiting for parts, and spent $445 in repairs.our move was delayed several days with all of this, due to a truck that had less than 60,000 miles on it, and has been well maintained.i since inadvertently found out that master cylinder and booster have now been recalled, but i have to physically go to a ford dealer to request a refund, and was told it could take 6-8 weeks.i was also told that it would not cover the throttle body. I don't understand how our truck that has not given us any problems before could have these two major issues back to back without them being related.all of this has set us back nearly $2000.
January 11, 2019 my eco boost fx4 was just at 65k on the odometer experienced a hard shutter like many on the forums say and wouldn't accelerate on the interstate. Code came up misfire. Replaced all my spark plugs, that aren't suggested for change for change until 100k. Gap opened from .28 to .45. Intercooler had a good bit of oily residue in it. I also since then installed a vapor catch can for over 400$. It's a shame you have to do that.also i recently had my rear defrost on thestop 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.
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.
Parked on a down slope vehicle will not start when gas is below 1/4 of a tank.my truck said i had 86 miles to empty.once the truck was taken to a level grade, it then started.
Truck has 46665 miles. When driving first 10 minutes (city driving) vehicle shudders, shows wrench indicator and goes into limp home mode (no accelerator). Have to pull over, turn off ignition and restart engine. Problem code shows p2112 (throttle actuator control system...stuck closed). This may happen 3 times in first 15 minutes of driving, but then goes away when car warms up. I have also noticed abnormal exhaust smoke and bad gas mileage. Having truck go into limp home mode in middle of traffic is very dangerous.
3.5 eco boost engine has a dead spot in it. Mash on the gas pedal and doesn't do anything, then sprints off. It has done this several times. Also there is a small roar at times coming from left side of engine when accelerating. The sprinting will occur other times when accelerating. Haven't taken it back to dealer but i'm going to.
My vehicle failed to start. After having the vehicle towed to my dealer, i was told the issue was a blown fuse. I asked them to replace and was told the actual fix is to relocate the fuse location based on a safety bulletin. I believe this is a major safety issue and after reading all the other complaints believe someone should take a closer look. If i had been driving on the highway when this known fuse issue happened i could have lost control and would have certainly lost power unexpectedly possibly causing an accident. Ford has known about the problem for years but has continued to charge owners to relocate the fuse when the whole issue is a factory defect. If it was not a factory defect then the issue would not continue to affect so many vehicles on the road. I was lucky my fuse blew in my driveway but others are at risk should this happen while driving.
Vehicle stalled out on off ramp entering interstate and happened 4 more times when driving or accelerating to interstate speeds.necessary to coast to shoulder of interstate and restart vehicle ....(previously in shop in shop 09/12/17 for ring and pinion)
Warped exhaust manifold 2 times now within 6 months. 38k and 44k miles. Exhaust leaks into cab of truck when under loadand makes a loud squeaking noise.
Vehicle shuts off sometimes in traffic when tank not empty . Gauge resisters that fuel is in the tank . Three times this has happened , no explanation as to why !
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.
Due to the fuse box being is located above the radiator, it is exposed to direct heat, and caused the fuel pump relay fuse to completely melt. This caused my truck to completely die twice while on the highway and almost caused an accident. This is extremely unsafe, and ford should recall this issue since it is a very common issue that drivers are having. A simple fuse box relocation would be an easy solution.
Fuel pump module.
Was having trouble starting my truck one day. Cranking and cranking but not firing. Sometimes it would eventually fire, sometimes it required a jump to get it going. Took it into ford, they replaced the battery. Didn't happen for a few more days. Same thing. Crank, crank, crank, but wouldn't start. Did some searching online, and found similar situation regarding a burnt/melted fuse 27 (the fuel pump fuse). Ford knows about this issue so much that they even created a part to move the fuel pump to a larger fuse. I'm glad this issue only happened while sitting still and i was able to get the fused replaced without incident. However, i would imagine that soon my vehicle would have stopped while traveling due to the fuel pump fuse completely dying. Also seems like a fire hazard, or it could do further damage to the fuse box or to surrounding fuses. Ford should issue a recall for this immediately.
When i am driving,and i attempt to accelerate(press gas pedal) the engine loses power. I then have to coast to a stop and put vehicle in park,turn engine off and restart, and drive on. Sometimes it does it again.sometimes it doesn't. It's does it when i'm on road ways. Dangerous it happens in traffic.
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.
I was pulling a empty trailer and it started down shifting at 35-45 mph i had to put it in neutral while driving then back to drive to gear up it did it around 75 mph the first time and wi5h a trailer had to come to a haunting stop on a highway it's in the past hour done it 5 times .... This is not safe!
2014 f150 ecoboost v6 - engine shudders and stalls upon rapid acceleration; issue has been addressed with "deflector shield" but this shield is already in place in my vehicle but the vehicle continues to have this issue - i feel the vehicle is unsafe but ford offers no assistance with resolution of the issue.
I drove my f-150 eccoboost truck to the snow, same area i have been hundreds of times and suddenly smoke burst from the engine, then flames shot out around the hood, popped the hood and fought the fire for half an hour, it kept restating.it stranded myself and children, and we had a harrowing experience that was pretty dicey.ford had just put in a new engine, at my cost, +14,000.00, after the timing chain failed. They would not repair it at their cost, even though i have copies of the fault codes from before the failure of the timing chain that destroyed the old engine. The new one had under 10,000 miles on the new engine, probably about5,000 miles on it.we had driven on the relatively flat grade mainline road, and drove up about 0.8 miles, climbing maybe 400 ft elevation over that distance.i was in the process of turning the vehicle around when the engine burst into flames.it was on a gravel road.we had traveled from home, 35.2 miles.
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.
2014 f-150 3.5l ecoboost. Engine will completely lose power and go into "limp mode" with orange wrench. Dealer claims they cannot retrieve problem code so i bought a obd scanner and dtc code reads as p2112. This is the second time i will have to get the electronic throttle body replaced. The first time the truck had approx. 62,000 miles on it, this time it has approx. 111,000. This is absolutely ridiculous. Both times this part has failed i have had my entire family in the truck and have had to literally dodge semi trucks and other cars nearly causing serious accidents to make it to a safe shoulder. Waiting for a factory recall, i will not let this go. Im afraid to drive this vehicle at this point.
Truck looses power and throttle response when accelerating into traffic or driving on the highway.my vehicle was nearly hit from behind when faster moving vehicles came upon it. And almost caused a head on collision do to vehicles driving around me.this has happened several times.vehicle has a pending code p2112 but if ignition is turned off code does not store in vehicle computer.took vehicle to ford dealership but was told nothing could be done to repair the vehicle since the code wasnā€™t stored in the computer
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.
I am requesting that the dot nhtsa investigate the door actuator failure on my 2014 ford f150.the drivers side door actuator has failed.door will not unlock and cannot be opened manually using the inside handle, outside door handle, nor with a key.door will not unlock using the remote nor keypad.driver must enter and exit the vehicle using the passenger side door.i purchased new on 4/8/15 and has 73,258 mileage.the vin is [xxx].my phone number is [xxx] if you need any further information.thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc
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 associated with this door latch issues?it appears to have the potential to cause significant personal injury.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that the power locks on the driver's side door malfunctioned. As a result, the contact had to manually lock and unlock the door. Jim hudson ford (1201 w main st, lexington, sc 29072, (803) 359-4114) advised the contact to call the manufacturer to be added to the list for an unknown recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to nhtsa. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the front driver's door opened independently without warning. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact stated that he had to drive to an independent mechanic while holding the door closed. The mechanic diagnosed that the door latch failed and needed to be replaced. The contact called corning ford at (530) 824-5434 (located at 2280 short dr, corning, ca 96021) and was informed that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v652000 (latches/locks/linkages). The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While the vehicle was stationary, the rear driver's side door latch would not open when prompted from inside or outside the vehicle. Vancouver ford in vancouver, washington was made aware of the failure and stated that the failure was under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was unknown.
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.
Sporadically, over the last 6 months (but with more frequency in recent months), at various speeds or with no other common denominator, the truck loses power to the transmission, the speedometer drops to zero, and the wrench light comes on. The only way to keep the truck functioning is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and restart it.most times, this will fix the issue.it's obviously been dangerous in multiple instances. While the truck is a 6-speed, 2014 ford f-150, it was built in november of 2013. Regardless of this, my vin is not part of recall 19v433000 or 19v075000, despite the same issue as the recalls. These additional manufacture dates should be included. I was alarmed to see the numerous claims with the same issue, outside of the recall.ford needs to make additional considerations to that effect.this is our 5th ford between my wife and i, of which 4 were trucks. Considering ford's negligent flaw hasn't been considered for any recall, despite overwhelming evidence from its owners, it will definitely be the last ford purchased by us, our extended family, and any of our business and personal associates to whom we will pass along this concern. It's extremely disappointing.
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.
2014 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to throttle body failure. *ldthe consumer stated the tires seized up and the vehicle stopped. The accelerator failed and a wrench was displayed on the dash. The vehicle the coasts at 5mph. The vehicle can powered off and on which may temporarily clear the failure.
I have a 2014 f150 ecoboost and there is a recall from ford for a temporary loss of signal with the output shaft speed sensor however not for my year. I tried to go to ford to have them reflash the pcm like the other years they could not do it i have had my truck go into 1st gear on several occasions while on the freeway at 60+ mph. I have had it stutter in 1st gear and then shift to 5th with the wrench light turning on while trying to pull out into traffic
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 80 mph, the vehicle downshifted into first gear and two unknown warning indicators illuminated. The contact continued driving 5 mph off the freeway, then coasted over to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and was able to drive normal. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 136,627.
I purchased this vehicle february 2020 from snyder motors-bozeman, and drove it from approximately 107k to 110k miles with no issues. This vehicle first performed this major safety issue on approximately may 10th, 2020. I was attempting to pass a vehicle on the two-lane montana highway from norris, mt to four corners, mt. I quickly accelerated from 65mph to 80mph and passed them in the left lane during a passable stretch. Just as i had almost finished passing, i noticed the light that indicates my mode of drive (park, neutral, reverse, etc.) flicker very quickly and erratically between the different drive modes. When the light first hit the reverse position, it violently shook the vehicle with me and my two good friends within. I then lost all control of the vehicle's power as if it had shifted itself into neutral. I was then forced to very quickly brake and get back into my lane as i had no power and another vehicle came around a turn in the passing lane and approached towards us. I had to shut the vehicle off briefly to regain control, and then had to get on the highway. The truck then performed the issue again while going up a steep hill despite slowing to 60mph. I have since had the vehicle perform the issue a myriad of times, usually due to hills going 30-40 mph since i've had to avoid highways. Each time, i am sincerely scared for my life and well being. I took it into bozeman ford from 6/22/20 to 6/29/20 after first taking the vehicle to foster's mastertech and having them replicate the issue and agree it is a safety concern. I was able to replicate the issue with a bozeman ford tech and he also agreed that it was a scary experience and stated this to a service rep. Ford replaced the molded lead frame, but to no avail as the truck performed the issue again that day. It is now back with bozeman ford, attached are my documents from the initial service.
Transmission hesitate, when downshifting it not process quickly and make a grinding noise. In motion.
2014 ford f-150. Consumer writes seeking reimbursement for repairs to throttle body even though warranty has expired. Consumer states that repair was a factory defect. *ldthe consumer stated the failure was repaired, but recurred. The consumer requested to be reimbursed for the second failure.
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.
The automatic transmission will not shift into gear from neutral when stopped on occasion.the transmission has on several occasions started in 5th gear from a stop and will not allow a manual shift to any lower gear until it finally senses a speed change.when vehicle is moving from an stop when stuck in 5th gear if manually shifted to neutral at speeds up to 35 mph and above and then shifted to drive the transmission will drop to first gear causing the engine to over rev.this problem started october 2020 and was noted at gus johnson ford spokane valley wa at a regular service appointment. No vehicle code was noted at that time. The vehicle now has 71271 miles on it.this problem is noted on a recall for model years 2011 thru 2013, i don't think it is fixed yet.
I went to turn around off of a paved street. My front right tire feel into the mud. I told my wife we are stuck, then put my truck in four wheel drive, off road mode and sporttrack mode on the dash. I pulled forward about a foot or so and was stopped by something, i then went backwards. I repeated this for about five times. My daughter was hysterical for just being stuck, i turned and told her to calm down, when i turned back around i saw fire in the driver side mirror, i told my family " it's on fire, get out". I opened my door to get our and was engulfed by flames, i quickly exited the passenger side door. I yelled for my daughter three times, she had ran a long way away from the truck, because she was frightened. When i had her in my sight i started filming. She had exited out over the top of my son on the passenger side as well. My son said he heard a spewing noise while i was telling my 8 year old daughter to calm down. He slung my daughter out when he saw me become engulfed in flames. I was off the road less than a minute before i saw the flames, i started filming well within two minutes of being off the road and my 2014, ruby red, special edition one of a kind ford f150, svt raptor was completely engulfed in flames in less than five minutes. Cause of fire is undetermined.

The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While attempting to accelerate from a stop light, the vehicle jerked and sounded as if it would stall. The vehicle suddenly accelerated and was taken to a local dealer, but no failures could be found. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 14,000.
Acceleration lag in a rolling or standing start. Most noticeable when stopped with truck facing uphill or slowing to a near stop and then slowly accelerating (slowing for a stop light that turns green as you approach the intersection). Once acceleration kicks in, the vehicle jumps as if the transmission has dropped from neutral to being into gear at increased rpm's or the clutch has slipped. Gear indicator doesn't show vehicle had ever dropped into neutral. If acceleration rate is increased from stop or rolling start, problem does not seam to occur. Problem was noticed from beginning of ownership and has been intermittent ever since(truck was purchased new in march 2015). Have not taken to dealer for diagnosis as it is intermittent, but talked to a non-ford mechanic that had heard of other people noticing acceleration lag.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle downshifted from fifth into first gear intermittently. The vehicle was taken to smail ford (5110 us-30, greensburg, pa 15601, (724) 900-2107) where it was test driven, but they were unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and was unsafe to drive. The contact stated that the vehicle was exhibiting the same failure as listed in nhtsa campaign number: 19v057000 (power train). The vin was excluded from nhtsa action number: rq17010 (power train) and the recall based on the year by the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000. Consumer stated it happened one time on 4/3/19.parts were installed on 2014.
Abrupt deceleration, chirped tires and vehicle was bogging down vehicle was in motion going roughly 40 mph on a city street. Has happened twice now bolth times when vehicle is cold, if i was not wearing seat belt i would have went threw windshield. Mph drops to zero and rpms go to about 6000 rpm like as if shifts to first gear from 5 gear
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.
Vehicle would lose all ability to accelerate or use any type of throttle control while driving on highway. Had to continually drift to a shoulder on the highway to turn off vehicle because the throttle body went bad.extremely dangerous, vehicle became inoperable and unsafe to be on any roadway.
New truck 2 weeks oldwent to pass another car and the engine cut out and almost stalled out.
The trucks overheats and ignition coils fail. This mainly happens when traveling through the mountains.this causes the truck to lose power and leaves me stranded on the highway broke down. This has been a problem ever since i purchased the truck new. Ford has been absolutely no help in solving the problem. I have documentation of over ten ignition coils failing and multiple engine over heatings.
The vacuum pump on the driver side is making a sound that it didn't before and it's getting worse.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While the vehicle was parked, it moved in reverse independently and damaged the driver side door and front fender. The failure occurred without warning.

When driving down the road transmission will down shift from 6th gear to first gear it did it on the interstate at 70 miles an hour. Did it when it was raining. Was the second time it did it. Take it to the ford dealership they said they couldn't do anything unless it was showing a code. Did some research there is a recall on ford f150.for 09-13 but mine has the same transmission as the 2013. More year's should be added to the recall. Thank you
3.5 eco boost engine runs rough at times and when passing at highway speeds sometimes goes into "safe mode" and shuts down to idle when under full acceleration. Mileage is constantly going down, from 22mpg to 13mpg. Dealer says this is new to them.the dealer said they found tracks on the spark plugs and changed them, new plug wires were supposedly bad, replaced both turbos. Still no difference.i have a video of this happening with the eng check light coming on and after the dealer said there was no indication of this in obd2 memory.
I'm having two issues with the drive train of my 2014 f150. First is accelerating from a stop. Its as if the driveshaft is missing a tooth and doesn't turn with the transmission. It hesitates then catches and you hear a thud like metal hitting metal. The other issue is far more serious. While on the highway i began accelerating to change lanes. As i changed lanes and put my foot down, the truck acted like it was going to accelerate or downshift and accelerate, but then did neither. It was like the gas peddle was dead. I took my foot off the gas peddle, then re-applied and it was fine. I however was almost reended. I've seen both of these issues by several folks on nhtsa website and other sites associated.
I am experiencing symptoms like those outlined in the recall affecting 2011-2013 f-150 trucks (among other vehicles) with the 6r80 transmission. It shifts erratically and abruptly, and today, i had it downshift from 6th to 1st on the highway as i was changing lanes. Thankfully the tires didn't lock up. The engine revved freely all the way to redline when this occured, given the history of these documented and reported issues, i'm unsure if the second wave of recalls from earlier this year managed to include all of the affected vehicles.

2014 f150 w/~55,000 miles-(1) 7/30/19- carrying light load in bed (200 lbs+/-) & 2 people including driver, on major highway during rush hour accelerating up hill, had driven 15 minutes without issues. Vehicle suddenly lost all power and tachometer red lined. Did not notice if any warning lights on as was trying desperately not to be dead due to 18 wheeler right behind me.just as suddenly resolved after about 10 seconds.(2) 7/6/19- truck in park with emergency brake engaged, facing uphill on boat ramp with lightweight boat trailer in tow & in "tow/haul mode". (no boat, only driver &200-300 lbs load in bed) disengaged emergency brake & vehicle rolled backward while still in park. Braked. Put in drive & vehicle rolled backward before finally engaging & able to accellerate up ramp.(3) frequently, since truck brand new, hear a "thunk" when shifting from park to drive (on flat surface) & especially loud, every time i shift from park to reverse (also on flat surface) & always doing either if on a hill.took to dealer when still under warrantee who says this is normal. I live in a very flat area so only discovered that transmission hesitates &/orslips on these occasions, after warrantee expired. Taking it to my trusted mechanic who employs a certified ford truck master mechanic & has no financial reason to downplay issues.
Was traveling behind two vehicle doing approximately 50 mph in a 75.went to pass and pressed the accelerator, and nothing happened.the vehicle starting shuddering, and stalled as i pulled along side the first vehicle.i let off the accelerator and attempted it again, still nothing.with loss of power, i had to move towards the shoulder since over taking the vehicle was impossible.the lasted for approximately 10 seconds, during which the check engine was flashing. Approximately 2 months prior, it happened while driving to dallas, but not to this extent.weather condition for both incident was heavy rain, and i had been driving in rain for several hours.engine code showed p0306 for cyl 6 misfire.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle suddenly downshifted into first gear. The failure occurred on several occasions. In addition, the vehicle failed to accelerate properly. The vehicle was taken to corwin ford (3241 s. Glenstone ave, springfield, mo) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. After the contact retrieved the vehicle, the failures continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 70,000. The vin was invalid.
I have 86000 miles on my truck and noticed a knocking noise upon starting turns out i have a stretched timing chain and my extended warranty wont cover itthis is now the second ford i have been taken to the cleaners.
Truck just hit 100k miles and recently started to down shift at times. The past couple days we tried to drive the car out of my neighborhood which has hills and going up hill the car would not accelerate when we press the gas. We tried pulling over and putting the car in park but that did not help. We had to turn the car off and back on to get the car to start accelerating again. This happened for two days so we took it to the dealership and they are saying it there is an issue with the sensor that controls the power train. The sensor has to be replaced but also the entire box has to be moved to a different part of the truck to prevent the box from overheating and causing this sensor issue. Sounds like a design flaw. One that is costing over $500 to fix.
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 outof 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!!
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.
Throttle body went out after 40,000 miles. Driving down the road wrench icon pops up and a few seconds later the truck stalls and engine cuts out.take it to ford and that part is not covered under my extended warranty.. Big surprise. Talk to customer service and there is nothing they will do either. So out 600 because ford knowingly sells these vehicles when they know that thousands of people are having the exact same problem.
As i was entering an on ramp to the freeway, the vehicle suddenly downshifted from 5th gear to 2nd and the speedometer jumped from around 45 to less than 20 and back up again.after getting on the freeway, the vehicle seemed to have paused, the speedometer again jumped from 65 down and up again.
Turbo went in the truck which then cause engine and transmission damage. Mechanic says the engine, transmission, and turbos need to be replaced quoting over 10k.also, a neighbor had a 2014 f150 do the same exact thing around the same mileage and i thought that was very odd.
We were driving at 55 mph down highway when suddenly trucks rear end jumped up in the air i coasted to the shouldergot towed to shop to find out the rear end transfer case and transmission had locked up and completly stripped everything teeth were broken on all parts pieces litterally fell out of the rear end while taking it apart put all new parts in truck rear end transfer and transmission only to have it to do again only this time i was going 30 mph so it didnt destroy power train this time only shot to first gear and stayed there limp mode is what they call it and i found a recall on certaian 2013 2014 2015 and 2016 models yet it isnt showing up online here the mechanic said that explained what happened to the first power train how it was gutted from rear end to transmission i was towing a trailer the first time he said that was the only thing that kept me from flipping lucky me so how do i get ford to name this a recall and reimburse my first bill concerned consumer

The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle downshifted and shut off without warning. The vehicle was taken to watson quality ford (6130 n i-55, jackson, ms 39211,(601) 977-4557), but they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 108,000. The vin was not available.
My used 2014 f-150, (with 51k miles) i owned for a month, has a 6r80 trans, slipped from 6th gear, into 1st gear while i was doing 65 mph, while i was driving on the n.j. Pkwy. It was covered by dealer, turned out to be the "lead body" that needed replacing within the trans. This has been an issue with this trans, with this year and other models. Presently there is a recall for 2015 and higher year models, just not for the "14" model as of yet, this could cause serious accident due to it's, abrupt onset, without any warning, or change in driving to invoke such an action.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, the oss in the transmission failed and the vehicle immediately lost power. The wrench icon and the check engine indicators illuminated as the vehicle was failing. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the oss failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was unable to associate the failure with a recall. The contact was referred to nhtsa. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.
No recall, but have had trouble with the transmission from day one, it jerks does not change gears the way they should, supposedly fix they installed a new transmission pump and still the same, say they cannot duplicate the problem . When on the highway have to slow down and then when you try to accelerate it jerks try to pick up speed
The speedometer dropped to zero while traveling 50 mph and the truck downshifted to 1st gear causing the tires to squeal, fishtail, and the rpm's redlined.i was almost rear ended.this has happened several times in the past couple weeks.
Diagnostic code p0720 output speed sensor.went in limp-mode while driving, then had no power.speedometer and most of the dash indicators quit. Had to stop and start the vehicle twice to reset.this has happened at least 3 times. Recall covers 2011-2013. My vehicle was built in 2013, but dealers refuse to repair the problem under recall.
I placed the vehicle in park. I left the vehicle running got out walked up to the gate to open it and the vehicle started moving on its own. This happened twice. The first time my wife was in the front seat and was able to stop the truck. The second time the truck pinned me between the truck and fence post. A friend was able to jump into the truck and get it turned off. The vehicle was stationary on flat ground sitting in open land not on a road.
While driving down the highway at roughly 75mph the vehicles speedometer suddenly jumped to 105mph then down to 65mph, then to roughly 90mph and finally dropping to 0mph at which time the transmission suddenly shifted down into 1st gear causing the rear wheels to lock up while going 75mph almost killing myself. After this occurred and the vehicle stopped the ignition was turned off. Once restarted everything seemed to be functioning as it should. A couple days of driving normally went by before the vehicle locked itself in 5th gear, the only way this was fixed was for the vehicle to be cycled on and off. A few more days of normal driving went by and the vehicle then exhibited shifting from 1st to 5th once speed reached about 5mph. This occurred until the vehicle was cycled on and off. From my research online this is directly related to the output shaft speed sensor in the transmission lead frame. 2012-2013 f150s were recalled due to these same symptoms, however, there has not been a recall for 2014's as of yet, even though they use the same faulty transmission lead frame.
Over the past several weeks, the truck has begun downshifting to first gear at random speeds and intervals. Sometimes it happens at 30-40 mph but recently it has occurred at highway speeds of over 70. I have called ford consumer help to no avail and gone to my local dealer.there is a recall on the 2011 through 2013 models for this exact problem it needs to be extended into the 2014 models as well. My dealership claims there is nothing they can do because there is no recall.i'm going to another dealership tomorrow.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving at low speeds, a grinding noise was detected and the vehicle automatically shifted into second gear. The vehicle was taken to allan vigil ford (6790 mt zion blvd, morrow, ga 30260, (678) 364-3673), but the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was referred to another dealer. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 45,000.
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.
While accelerating the truck will make a whining/groaning noise coming from the transmission area and will go away once the truck has finished accelerating to the speed limit. The whole truck will also jump making a noticeable thud while shifting into reverse with the truck stationary andthe brakes applied, it will occasionally do the same shifting into drive, again while stationary. When i park the truck on a incline big or small the truck will make a loud buzzing noise coming from underneath and a vibration can be felt that will last a few seconds to a minute, the sound can be heard shifting through p,n,d,r as well. The last issue occurs when the outside temps are cold and i drive the truck 15-20mins with a average speed of 50mph. I have taken the truck to the dealer who attempted to fix the issue to no avail. I have spoke with another dealer's service manager who was not very helpful in solving my issue. I'm currently in touch with a ford regional customer service representative and in the process of going back to a dealer.
My truck died, i then jumped it and it was stuck in 5th gear and i drove home and searched it so i restarted it and it was fixed.ithas to do with the molded lead frame.
2014 f150 ecoboost: while driving ~50mph, the vehicle abruptly downshifted to first gear causing my rear tires to lock up.i was able to control the skip and reduced my speed to pull to the side of the road.at that time, my vehicle would not shift out of first gear.i turned the vehicle off and restarted it to reset any electronic controls and the vehicle was able to drive normal again.similar occurrences have happened intermittently, where the vehicle would not shift out of first after coming to a rest.or the vehicle would remain in 5th gear, if i was already in motion when it acted up and would not shift down even if i came to a rest.from my research, this appears to be similar to the lead frame recall that has been issued for 2011-2013 vehicles.my vehicle was manufactured on 11/13, but appears to be outside of the recall timeframe.
While drive at approximately 30-40 mph, the vehicle transmission down shifted from 5th gear to 1st gear, the engine rpm shot up and i had to pull over.the gear numbers on the dash went from displaying all six gear numbers to displaying only 1st and 2nd gear.this happened on a city street.
We had sold the house and were moving. Truck was parked in front of house with travel trailer attached to hitch. Preparing to drive away, and had no brakes. Checked brake fluid and had none. Took other car to purchase, came back and filled, and brake fluid all drained out. Had to unhook trailer and have vehicle towed. Local dealer replaced master brake cylinder and booster the next day. Spent $719 plus finding accommodations for the night,dealer said there was no recall at that time.drove nearly 600 miles, and that night we lost power. Andhad to have the truck towed again.this time they said it was a defective throttle body.had to stay 1 night in a hotel, then 3 more nights in anrv park waiting for parts, and spent $445 in repairs.our move was delayed several days with all of this, due to a truck that had less than 60,000 miles on it, and has been well maintained.i since inadvertently found out that master cylinder and booster have now been recalled, but i have to physically go to a ford dealer to request a refund, and was told it could take 6-8 weeks.i was also told that it would not cover the throttle body. I don't understand how our truck that has not given us any problems before could have these two major issues back to back without them being related.all of this has set us back nearly $2000.
My truck repeatedl yhas the following happen without warning: speedo stop. Odometer goes to dashes, airbag light comes on and trans stuck in 5th gear.this is identical to tsb13-6-8whichcaused a recall to f150 until april 2013. My vehicle was made in november 2013. The dealer has confirmed this is same issue as recall but ford refuses to cover this significant safety issue.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 30-35 mph and highway speeds, the vehicle downshifted on its own and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to smith ford (908 e oak st, conway, ar 72032, (501) 329-9881) where it was diagnosed that the molded lead frame needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The contact stated that the failure was similar to nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The failure mileage was 110,000. *as

The contact was able to safely guide the vehicle off of the roadway. The vehicle was restarted but failed to resume normal operation. The vehicle was driven to kindle ford-lincoln 525 stone harbor blvd, cape may court house, nj 08210 (609) 465-5000) to be diagnosed. The result was inconclusive. A transmission flush was performed however, the failure recurred. The vehicle then was taken to (ciocca ford of quakertown service center1531 park ave, quakertown, pa 18951(800) 737-0963) where it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the vehicle downshifted to 1st gear without warning. The contact pulled to the shoulder of the road, turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as designed. The vehicle was taken to casco bay ford (1213 us 1, yarmouth, me 4096) however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred intermittently. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
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.
While driving the vehicle and in motion when passing another vehicle the vehicle started to stutter and lose power. The engine icon started flashing. The icon went away shortly after this but this is the second time this has happened.after checking online there are several issues in regards to the 3.5 ecoboost engine doing this.
2014 ford f-150 xlt crew cab 4 door 5.4 coyote motor... I'll be driving down the road highway city street private road doesn't matter truck will shimmy go to 5th gear and stay there airbag light will come on display will save remove items from passenger seat....

The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle jerked without warning and began to lose power on its own. The contact briefly lost control of the vehicle, shifted into neutral, and coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. The contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact spoke with lithia ford idaho falls (980 w broadway st, idaho falls, id 83402, (208) 525-8500) and was informed that diagnostic testing was needed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 51,000. Consumer stated most important fact was omitted. "vehicle downshifted from 6th gear to 2nd gear spontaneously."
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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving, the engine power reduced and the vehicle stalled on a hill. The contact stated that the gears failed to shift properly. The vehicle was reversed down a hill and the contact was able to pull off the roadway. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The vehicle was towed to a repair facility to be diagnosed, but the resultswere unknown. The vehicle was towed back to the contact's residence and was unable to be driven. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Vehicle exhibits a shudder/vibration/shake when starting from a stop. Problem is more apparent with weight on the truck. With approx. 400-500 lbs. Or more problem is most apparent. At 300 miles, the problem became very noticeable. Informed dealer, set appointment. Vehicle had 800 miles at servicing, 2/23/2015. Dealer removed rear driveline and drove the truck with just the front driveline and shudder did not occur. Dealer replaced entire rear driveline and problem persists. After 8 days at the dealer service shop, customer was told the problem is normal, especially with any type of load. 400lb is a load???? what happens when i attach a tow unit to this vehicle? is this safe? after acknowledging a problem and replacing the driveline, dealer now says this is normal and has something to do with the shocks and computer. But rest assured this is normal. Waiting for ford factory representative to investigate.problem is disturbing and one has to wonder what the long term consequences of this shudder is to the vehicle, vehicle driveline, etc.i was told numerous things by people at the dealer;salesperson said it was probably in need of a transmission reflash, shop foreman originally said maybe there was not enough grease on the driveline splines. Now it's the computer and the shocks?i asked the service mgr. Why they replaced the driveline if its a normal situation. He responded that they didn't notice the weight (400-500lbs under the tonneau cover) until after they replaced the driveline.one has to wonder about dealer competency when they apparently know a problems exist with weight on the truck, yet fail to check for weight on the vehicle. Also, is this not some sort of acknowledgement that there is a problem? as of 3/2/2015, the truck is still at the dealer. I've spent less than one week in the truck and over one week in a ram 1500 rental truck. No new car joy here.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled and restarted. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to best ford lincoln (579 amherst st, nashua, nh 03063, (603) 889-0161), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact researched online andstated the failure was due to the drive train. The failure mileage was 173,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at a high speed, various warning indicators flickered and the vehicle coasted in reverse. The contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a dealer who stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.
11/30/19 i was driving down the road at approximately 45 mph and my truck suddenly downshifted. There was a loud bang and the rear wheels locked up and skidded. The vehicle then went back to normal. 2 days later it happened again but not as violently. The truck has around 59k on it. I see there is a recall for this reason on 2013 f150 with 6 speed transmission which is what i have but nothing for the 2014.
My truck will downshift from 5th gear to 1st gear while operating vehicle. I have been going as fast as 50 mph and with out warning truck will go from 5th to 1st gear. It will cause rear wheels to lock up and becomes hard to control. It has been going on for almost 2 years now.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle decelerated and both rear wheels seized. The steering wheel also seized and became difficult to steer without warning. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and was able to drive normally, but the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
When driving on the highway going about 50 mph, my speedometer dropped to zero, back up to 35, back to 10, then back to 50 and the truck violently downshifted into 2nd gear, back to 4th, back to 2nd and then back to 5th. It happed again this morning going about 30 mph.it dropped to about 15, back to 25, down to 15, hard shift and the back to 35mph. I have a short video of it happening but can't attach.
Had to repair the "lead molded frame & gasket" ! truck would jump threw gears while moving at any speed. Final draw was when truck dropped to 1st gear while traveling 70 mph on i-64 east nearly causing truck to flip over after screeching tires and running other cars off the road! ford dealership maintenance dept. Told me there were recalls for same problem on f-150's but not for the year 2014 as mine is!.. Please note if it were wet/raining at the time this happened to us, there would have been a severe accident with possible casualties...!!!
The vehicle driveshaft is heavily covered in rust which may over time deteriorate the integrity of the item possibly leading to a breakage.
Driving at 30 mph and suddenly an orange wrench shows on the instrument panel.the vehicle is unresponsive and shuts down into a safe mode where i have no power to the gas pedal but it steers and drives very slowly.it has happened 2 times since owning the vehicle for only 7 months, it's a scary position to be in when you're in the flow of traffic and suddenly aren't.i've read on line reports of this incident on several ford products.i took it to the shop for service and they have no reason it's happening they indicated that since it's an intermittent problem there is nothing they can do to solve it.......nonsense.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While the vehicle was engaged in park, it rolled away on its own. The contact had to get inside the vehicle to depress the brake pedal and engage the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,000.
At 40,000 miles, had to have the throttle body replaced (extended warranty, so cost not material to me).concern is that on a 1300 mile interstate round-trip, my engine shut down 5 times.in each case i lost all acceleration without warning and had to coast to the shoulder of the interstate.my dash showed a wrench symbol, which would disappear after i had turned the ignition off, then back on (as if nothing ever happened).i subsequently learned that a defective throttle body put me into a "limp home" mode meaning i could continue driving only at idle speed.the limp home mode (i learned this term from reading a customer blog) caused immediate deceleration on the interstate at full speed 3 of the five times my engine shut down.had i just passed another vehicle or had an inattentive driver following me, i very well could have been rear-ended.a ford dealer, midway through my round trip, could not determine a repair code for this situation.only after the 5th engine shut down, did a "check engine" light appear.this allowed a second ford dealer, at the end of my trip, the documentation needed to replace the throttle body.very dangerous situation...the first ford dealer sent me on my way despite what now appears to be a well-known problem "internally" at ford. The 2nd dealership miraculously had a replacement part on hand and made the necessary repair within 8 hours...i believe only because i stressed the point about unsafe travel!
I was pulling a empty trailer and it started down shifting at 35-45 mph i had to put it in neutral while driving then back to drive to gear up it did it around 75 mph the first time and wi5h a trailer had to come to a haunting stop on a highway it's in the past hour done it 5 times .... This is not safe!
Transmission suddenly downshifts while driving 55+ mph down the highway. I have noticed it downshifting from 6th all the way down to 3rd causing excessive rpms. I took it to dealership who said it was "bad gas" that had fouled the plugs. Charged me over $300 and it's not a bit better. Seemingly it occurs most often when i let off of the accelerator (i.e. Going around a curve or topping a hill) but it is very random.
Vehicle entered limp mode while attempting to accelerate through an intersectionof a city steeet causing sudden unintentional deceleration. Vehicle no longer able to accelerate and had to limp onto shoulder.cel on and blue wrench on screen. The next day the same problem happened at highway speed resulting again in sudden unintentional deceleration.
The shifter malfunctioned sitting in my driveway, trying to shift down into a lower gear, there was resistance, then the key would not come out of the ignition
While driving at highway speeds my truck suddenly down shifts from gear 6 to 1.while downshifting the wheels lock up causing them to skid and as a result the steering wheel pulls left.i have almost crashed 2 times.it has happened several times.i see that the same issues were happening on the 2012 and 2013 models and they were issued recalls to get the problem fixed.why not on the 2014 models which is the same truck
Issue occurs whenstarting the truck, putting the truck into drive to leave from where the truck was parked.the truck will sometimes shift into 5th gear as soon as you put it into drive. As you move forward it will not shift down into first, it will stay in 5th gear. If you stop the truck, shift into park, shut the truck off, then restart the truck and put it back into drive it will function properly. It will start out in 1st and then shift as needed depending on the speed you are going. When driving the truck above 40 and then coming to an intersection and slowing down to about 20 miles an hour to make a left hand turn the truck will down shift into 1st gear suddenly (should be running in 3rd gear at this point) and the engine will rev up substantially, once the truck has turned the corner and you step on the gas the truck will then shift back up into the proper gear (3rd gear or so). On occasion when you start the truck and try to drive the truck from a parked position it will act erratic by shifting from 1st to 5th (going less than 5 miles an hour at this point), then down to 3rd even though the truck is only going 5-10 miles an hour. Generally stopping the truck, shutting the truck off and restarting the truck will cause it operate properly.this issue has happened on and off over the past 6 months.
While traveling northbound on hwy 90 by chimneyrock exit my truck suddenly and abruptly downshifted to 1st, 2nd, 1st and 3rd. Had to oull over and started going again. Now it gets stuck in third and is making one of the cylinders misfire.
While driving, an unexpected downshift into first gear causing the vehicle to slow down suddenly without warning and the rear tires may slide or lock, increasing the risk of a crash.this is the exact same issue that ford issued a recall on for the 2011-2012 f150's. There are many issues i have read about recently with other people and this issue will likely kill someone before anything is done. Imagine driving 75 on the interstate and it shifts into 1st gear out of nowhere. This will cause an accident with the potential of death to one or more people if you cannot control this vehicle.
Vibration when starting off in first gear or drive on automatic transmissions.also vibration at 45mph thru 52mph while light throttle application only.this is really noticeable on smooth roads.
Vehicle started to down shift into 1st and 2nd gears while driving causing scary noises and vehicle rpm to jump very high and vehicle rear tires to lock up. Vehicle does this when in motion on highways and city streets. Anytime i accelerate the transmission down shifts
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.
The transmission intermittently shifts down to 1st while driving or will shift to 5th while at stop light and will be hard to take off from the light.the very first time i had a wrench come up on the cluster display.it has happened 4 different time since november.when it shifts to first on its own it is while in motion.when shifting to 5th it always at a stop light or stop sign.
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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While the contact was hitching a trailer to the vehicle, the vehicle rolled in reverse while parked. The vehicle rolled over the contact's left foot and the trailer crashed into a fence. The contact required medical attention. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.
Last night while coming home from dinner i was cruising around 40 mph when all of a sudden the transmission downshifted to 1st gear and basically locked up the rear tires. It scared my family along with myself.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle completely failed without warning. The contact restarted the vehicle and it resumed normal operation. The contact took the vehicle to rokstad ford (476600 us-95, ponderay, id 83852, 208-263-3127) to be diagnosed, but no failure was found. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that there were no recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 12,000.
Usually on a daily basis and with no correlation to current speed, constant speed, acceleration, decelleration, road surface (highway, city or country) or any other symptoms: suddenly the vehicle bucks violently (feels like it shifts to first gear) while the speedometer either stutters momentafily or drops to 0 mph. The tach and other instrument seem to work ok, except that the seat beltwarning light comes on (no warning bell, just the instrument panel light) and the display loses all mileage-relayed information (e.g., trip a and b indicators showdashes instead of miles, etc),on occasion, a wrench icon appears on the window that normally shows current mileage. I have researched these symptoms and discovered identical descriptions reported for the f150 which resulted in a recall of something like 20,000 f150's up to year 2013.it looks like the recall problem extends to my 2014 f150 and i would like to know the basis for my vehicle being excluded when it clearly has the same symptoms. I am planning a trip to vancouver, bc and colorado, usa to have my vehicle repaired, but the service shop advises that the repair parts are not available nationwide because of the above-mentioned recall.as i tow a 5000+ lbs trailer, it is clear that the combined vehicle + trailer combo cannot safely operate with this defect in place.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph and hauling a trailer, the wrench service light suddenly illuminated and moments later the transmission erroneously down shifted into 1st gear, causing the speed to abruptly reduce and the driver to nearly lose control of the steering. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the powertrain control module was faulty and needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 75,000.
2014 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to transmissionnoise when shifting into drive or reverse. A ford engineer informed the consumer, ford made a change in the transmission tail shaft, from roller bearings to ball bearings.
I purchased a used 2014 f-150 xlt in june 2019. It's amazing amount of issues this truck has seeing as it's the last of that particular generation. I could deal with most of them, but the big concern is with transmission dropping unexpectedly to a much lower gear.. This was such a concern and safety issue i recall was made by ford but it only covered up to the 2013 model year. I think the model years of impacted vehicles needs to be re-evaluated and extended.i've owned the truck for 10k mi and it only had 40k mi when the event occurred. I was driving home the night monday, january 27, 2020 on the same highway, interstate 81, that i have taken many times. The portion of the highway declines and then flattens out near the exit. The speed limit is 65 mph and i begin to coast as the road levels out.on this particular night, i was going about 68 mph and on the downhill portion turning slightly right. The exit was 1/4 mi away. I was in a non-throtlle situation when i felt the truck lurch. As i took a quick look down to the gauges, the truck lurched again and i was able to see the transmission indicator drop from 5th gear to 4th gear. Of course the rpm went up correspondingly. It only stayed in 4th gear for 2 seconds before going back to 6th. I could only imagine how dangerous a drop to 2nd gear or even 1st would be. There is much information on the internet, some correct, some incorrect, and as such numerous ideas are put forth as to the root cause. Some think it's a leaking seal impacting the electrical contact outside the transmission, or a speed sensor issue, or a timing or programming issue, or a transmission valve body issue. I believe the recall involve a reflash on the transmission module to not have the transmission drop gears if the speed sensor fails. Whatever the issue, fort needs to look into extending this beyond the original coverage.
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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle downshifted with the service engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The mechanic performed a fluid and maintenance checkup however, the failure returned soon after the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was also informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle however, he may be entitled to a reimbursement if a recall were to be placed on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 61,845.
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.
Grinding/howling noise from rear end at 63,200 miles.. Needed to have ring and pinion replaced
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle downshifted into first gear without warning.

2014 f150 pickup while at speed (first time at 35mph and second at 65mph) on two occasions downshifted into 1st gear, causing speedometer to read 0 and odometer to read ----------.a technician read code p0722 from computer after last incident.the vehicle was manufactured one month after the end date of a recall designated to address this problem, and ford will not fix this truck under that recall, leaving the expense of the repair to the owner. We do not trust this vehicle to be safe to drive over 40mph as a loss of control at highway speeds due to rear tire lockup could be catastrophic.
2014 f150 lost ability to shift lost speedometer and odometer same issues as the recalled lead frame from 2009 to 2013truck won't shift
While driving on the freeway my 2014 ford f150 suddenly downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear causing my rear wheels to lock up and having the steering wheel jerk to the left.the car behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me from behind since the trucks wheels locked up with no brake lights.this has been the 8th time this has happened.each time i take it to ford for them to check it out they tell me they can not duplicate the issue.the wrench light comes on and it throws codes and ford will do nothing to fix it.
2014 f150 has been diagnosed with a lead frame malfunction by a ford dealer.while driving on the highway at 60 mph automatic transmission shifted into 1st or 2nd gear by itself and instantly and dangerously slowed the truck to 20 or 30 mph.had to pull over, turn truck off then restart to regain normal control.very dangerous, almost lost control of the truck.found out this is the exact same problem as a lead frame recall for 2012 f 150s.why not 2014s?we could have been killed.why has this model year not been recalled?
Problem start since i bought the truck,drivershaft make an uncomfortable bump or hit everytime truck stop or accelerate.i been tree times in ford service and they said is a normal thing.i have tested other friends truck and they dont have any problems.this is my third ford truck and is the first time i feel this problem.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds or stopped, the vehicle independently up-shifted or downshifted without warning.

2014 ford f-150 ecoboost - at approximately 60 mph vehicle will shift into 1st causing the rear tires to lock up. Will then shift back to 5th or 6th and drive normal. Has happened several times with no warning before it happens. Also will shift from 1st to 5th when pulling out and will not accelerate. Will have to pull over and turn vehicle off, then restart. Sometimes it will lose all gauges when doing this and throw a check engine light. Check engine light will go out as soon as restarted. Again, no warning ahead of time when it does this. Seems to be the same issue that has been recalled in earlier model ford f-150s. Have scheduled appointment with ford dealer.
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.

Vehicle was purchased in 2017.in 2018, occassionally noted that the passenger airbag indicator would switch to off while a passenger was in the seat, with seatbelt fastened.approached my dealer with the problem, they read codes and found no faults.during a long road trip in 2019/2020, a pattern emerged:when vehicle first started and passenger present, passenger airbag system indicates on.after 20-30 minutes of driving, indicator goes to off.about 50% of the time, unbuckling and retracting passenger seatbelt, then rebuckling, and indicator will come back on.if this fails, truck must have ignition turned off before it will reset and switch airbag on.have been told by dealership that this vehicle is not part of the 2014/15 recall for issues that match these symptoms.also told that my expensive extended warranty may not cover a fix (to the main safety system??)... It is dependent on shop inspection and diagnosis.
Pretension on drivers side has been replaced 2 times now has to be done again after4 months..passenger side air bag light keeps coming on.they say nothing is wrong with it.
Rear driver's side seatbelt is binding against rear window frame and when rear seat was flipped up with vehicle off, stationary, the rear fixed driver's side window shattered. Glass shards are now all over interior and personal materials.
I recently financed a truck and the seller did not disclose that it was a flood damage vehicle. I did auto check and found out there was also recalls on the truck when he sold it to me. That he didn't fix recalls are for the seatbelts n the bolts for the seabelts. The truck also is leaking oil. He also tempered with the engine lights because it's leaking oil but no lights turned on. I want a full refund of every dollar i have given him. He also lied on the odometer .

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.
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.

While i am driving with my pregnant wife in the vehicle the airbag light will illuminate saying that the airbag is off, i have to pull over while driving to have her get out of the vehicle and get back in for the light to turn off. It's a normal street in a development or on the road driving. Different speeds with flat roads, some have bumps others are recently paved asphalt. Happens intermittently, over a dozen times at different speeds. My vehicles vin doesn't fit the recall for the airbag issue that is already aware by ford. Took vehicle to ford dealership 4 times for this same issue, only thong done was a recalibration of the seat weight and exactly 2 weeks and 1 day later light came on again, unable to pull over i drove hoping to find a way to pull over for the safety of my wife and unborn child, the light turned off after 40 seconds of realizing it was on. A fully grown individual sitting in the seat weight 190+lbs has this happening to them. I have video footage and will try to attach it if possible. Most recently it happened today, 2/19/20 at 3:17pm.
Ford f-150 2014 had an electrical issue that caused it to go up in flames as i was driving it down the highway at about 60 miles an hour. I first smelled a burning odor, then i looked in my review mirror and saw smoke, then i started seeing flames in the back passenger corner of my back seats. By this time the truck was very smoky but i was able to safely pull aside to the shoulder of the highway.i made an attempt to open my driver's door, but it wouldn't open and i then broke the glass to open the door from inside out. As i exited my vehicle and walked around the back of the truck i grabbed a towel out the bed of the truck and got on the ground to try and stop the flames at that time i could see a wire burning between the bed and the passenger cab of the truck as it made loud popping noises, then the truck just burst into flames. I called 911 and they called the fire department , they came out on the scene and put the fire out.
While driving in rush hour traffic!my brake pedal became soft then there was a sudden loss of any braking. I did check for a recall but was told even though there is in fact a recall for the issue my vehicle is not part of it.
Brakes do not always react as they should when you hit the brake pedal. 1-2 sec. Delay
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
Once more this truck has lunged without notice!! with the truck in my garage i pushed the button (inside the truck) to open the garage door, started the truck and as soon as i put in in reverse it lunged backwards just catching/hitting the bottom of the garage door as it was going up, some scuffs on the trucks tailgate trim and it bent the lower garage door panel and knocked it off the track. Ford has done squat to fix this issue along with other major issues this truck has from day one!! nhtsa please look into these issues!!
Since i purchaced my truck in march of last year.twice i had brake pedal issues.when applying the brakes trying stop. The pedal was very slow to return to its normal position.the next time the pedal went completely to the floorboard as if i was bleeding the brakes. After both incidents i took it to the dealership's. Both dealership's said they are normal after road testing my truck.

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 ecoboostmodel and was built using the identical brake components that were recalled by ford.based on the description of the brake master cylinder failure conditions indicated in the 16s24 ford recall and the conditions i am experiencing with my vehicle's brake failure, i am confident these conditions are related and the brake master cylinder has failed flooding the brake booster with brake fluid.

I was driving about 35 mph and coming to a red light. I pressed the brake peddleand it went all the way to the floor. There was a warning chime and the dash illuminated a brake service warning and a low brake fluid level warning. There were virtually no brakes and i had to down shift the transmission and use the emergency brake to come to a stop, just in time before going through the intersection under a red light. We had the truck towed to a ford dealership and they stated that all of the fluid in the master cylinder had leaked into the brake booster. They said that our truck did not meet the proper date to be takencare of under the known recall (nhtsa recall #16v-345, ford recall #16s24) for the exact same problem. That recall ended on trucks built up to 8/14 and our truck was built on 12/14. We had to have the master cylinder and brake booster replaced under our extended warranty with only 22,901 miles on our truck. This was a catastrophic brake failure (virtually no brakes) with zero warning. If there had been traffic or if i would have been going any faster, this could havebeen an extremely dangerous brake failure. We are very concerned that the replacement parts are the exact same sub-standard and dangerous parts that had catastrophically failed. The dealership was not able to provide information thatthis very dangerous issue had been addressed and that redesigned parts had been installed in my truck. We feel that our truck needs to be included in the recalland that we need information on what was done with this problem to insure that it does not happen again.
While driving on a city road in a 45mph zone, my dash warning light for brake, and warning text saying brake fluid low came on.then less than a minute later, before reaching my destination, while applying the brakes, the pedal went all the way to the floor, and stopping power was practically nonexistent.i was able to stop, but not until after blowing through a yield sign at a corner.i downshifted my transmission to slow down, and standing on the brake pedal did allow some small amount of braking to help me to a stop.i happened to be in front of an oreilly auto parts store so i went in and bought a bottle of brake fluid, thinking/hoping it was just a low reservoir that hadn't been noticed for 3 years?after observing the brake fluid reservoir was below the "min" level i filled to "max" and proceeded down the road to my destination, keeping a close eye on the dashboard and the brake action.less than a minute later the lights came on and it started all over again.that's when i parked, and waited for a friend.we bought a couple more bottles of brake fluid and i filled it up and drove it to the dealer as best i could without running into anything, and left it there for them to fix.

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.

Excessive vibration during braking, particularly on the highway in rush hour traffic.
While coming to a stop and applying the brakes, i've noticed over the last several days that the brakes have become soft, almost going completely to the floor at times. Also, while stopped and applying the brakes, the brake pedal slowly sinks towards the floor. I have check the truck for possible leaks and have found none apparent. The reservoir is down a bit but again, no visible leaks. I checked ford's site for a possible recall and it says there is none. However, i know there is some 2013 and 2014 models with a master cylinder recall. I'm thinking maybe the recall didn'tinclude enough vehicles because it sounds like my truck is having the same issue.
The brakes on my ford f150 went out completely, while driving.the time from brake light to no brakes was about 3-4 minutes.i had to use the emergency brake to maneuver.fortunately i was turning into a gas station.although a recall has been created for 2013-2014 ford f150 for the exact issue with my truck, my truck is not a part of the recall (brake master cylinder leaking into the brake booster).this is very dangerous.i had no brakes. I asked the ford service provider if they report the issue, and the response was they do not.i am concerned that there are other drivers out there who will have their brakes go out while driving.please review this immediately so that others will know there is a possibility their brakes could go out.i am attaching the service detail.i was told that the brake master cylinder just has a faulty part that went bad.how does that happen to a brake system?not sure what would have happened if my wife or son had been driving.
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)

I checked the brake fluid tank and it was completely empty, with no signs of any fluid leaking on the ground. After waiting 3 hours for a tow truck to arrive we finally got it out of the garage and delivered it to ford of bellevue, in washington state. The service adviser informed me that since i had about 37,500 miles on it it was not covered under the ford36,000 mile warranty. He said he would be in touch with me about what was wrong.
On the morning of july 18, 2016 i experienced compete and total brake failure on my 2014 ford f150 truck.i had driven the truck the night before with no problems or warnings of any kind.i got into my truck, cranked it, and pressed on the brake pedal to shift into reverse.my brake pedal went all the way to the floor board with absolutely no resistance.i tried pressing it again with the same results.just a few days before this, i had received a recall letter concerning breaking issues from ford.however, in this letter it said that the issue would only affect the front brakes; the rear brakes would still be usable.i can assure you, this is not the case.i consider myself extremely blessed that i was not traveling at the time of the occurrence.there is no doubt that had i been driving at the time of the failure, it could have resulted in a fatal incident.

Our 2014 f150 has had a problem with brakes squealing since day 1 i've checked for recalls but our vehicle doesn't fit the criteria. We are told by a brakes company we do not have a brake problem . There are only 68000 miles on vehicle something has been causing the noise the entire timethe reason we are only now checking is my husband just got hearing aids and now acknowledges the problem( wouldn't take my word for it)have there been any other complaints regarding this?
Recall 16v345000 was done on my vehicle after 30,000 miles exact issue has returned ford/dealership refuses to fix the failed recall fix. Vehicle stopping distance is significantly longer than before front brakes do not work at all brake pedal falls to the floor.
Brake fluid level low alert received while driving. Arrived at destination within one mile. Upon return to vehicle one hour later and starting vehicle and reversing out of parking spot, the brake pedal went to floor when pressed and brakes did not work. Moved gear shift to park and vehicle stopped. Towed to ford dealer who advised that master cylinder and brake booster had failed. No external leakage occurred.
On 5/17/2016 while backing out of a parking space, i applied the brakes to place the vehicle into drive and the brake pedal went to the floor.the truck did not stop immediately but i could hear the sound of what i assumed were the brake pads against the rotors and the truck slowly came to a stop.immediately after the brakes went to the floor, the dash alarm indicated red and audible beeps telling me to check brake fluid.i left the vehicle in the parking spot and called for a ride home.we were approx 10 miles from home.the next day, ford roadside assistance towed the vehicle to ford of clermont.the service writer advised me that they would be replacing the master cylinder and the booster pump and should be repaired in a day or two.on 5/19/2016 the service writer calls me to let me know that they are replacing my lines as well and the ford wants my brake system returned to them with fluid in the line so that they can inspect them for the failure.on 5/20/2016 i contacted ford customer service and told them that although they are replacing the brake parts, ford has not corrected the problem with the replacement parts. Ford did not offer to be proactive, they advised me that if the problem should happen again that i should contact them for assistance.i do not feel safe in this vehicle, i do not feel safe towing with this vehicle and i do not feel safe placing passengers in this vehicle.
While traveling at highway speed, while towing our rv, "low brake fluid" warning light came on and brakes failed. The only way i could safely stop was using the trailer brakes. I believe our vehicle should have been included in current recall, but ford is stating our vin is not part of recall.
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.

The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,050. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Upon moving vehicle to raod, low brake fluid light appeared.there was no brake pressure and brake pedal went all the way to floor.vehicle would not stop!.after looking under hood, little to no brake fluid in reservoir.filled it up and attempted to drive.brake pedal still very soft and after 1/4 mile drive, brakes had no power again.no leaking is visible.let vehicle sit for two days after filling up fluid reservoir and it is now almost completely empty.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While in the reverse position, the brake warning light illuminated and brake fluid low was displayed across the message board. In addition, the contact attempted to depress the brake pedal, but the brake pedal depressed in excess. The contact refilled the vehicle with brake fluid; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000. The vin was not available.
Brake failure due to broken brake line. The hard metal brake line that runs from the distribution line on the abs unit to the front drivers side brake came in contact with the steering linkage rubbing a hole in it. I have notified ford customer care and my local dealer and they do not wish to take care of the issue. This posses a huge safety concern.
Failure of master cylinder and booster pump.all fluid drained into booster with no warning.repaired under warranty.vehicle has only 9600 miles.vehicle lost all braking ability (excluding ebrake) within 60 seconds of a low fluid alert.
I was driving on a 25mph street and was coming to a stop sign, i began to depress the brake and heard a small explosion/boom under the hood. I continued driving as there was no indication of a problem.the next stop sign i had very limited braking ability, the third stop sign i had no ability to stop and was forced to use my parking brake. Within half a mile i was unable to stop at all and had to use my emergency brake.there were no indicator lights or warnings on the dash until after the total loss of braking, the only warning i had there was an issue was the loud noise.there is a recall on the 2014 f150 brakes for decreased stopping ability, but not for a catastrophic failure.the recall notice states to not bring the vehicle in for service until there is an indicator light or message on the dash - again, i had neither of these warnings.once the vehicle got to the local dealer, i was told the master cylinder and brake booster both failed.ford does not have a solution and has indicated it will be several weeks if not more for them to replace the parts.i believe the recall needs to be expanded and treated as more urgent as this type of failure could lead to fatal accidents - fortunately i was on a side street and not in traffic when this occurred, otherwise this failure would have led to a serious accident.ford has made the dealer take apart the front end of my truck and take pictures of the area around the defective parts - i feel they are using this as a case study and are not taking ownership of their failed parts that could cause a fatal accident.
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.
Master brake cylinder failure.brakes failed and had to run through a stop light.same failure as ford recall 16s24
Was at wendy's drive through after grocery shopping and brake light came on thought brake fluid was just low. By the time i was almost home maybe 2-3 miles away i had no brakes at all pedal went all the way to floor. When traveling around 50 miles an hour and you realize you have no brakes it's a very scary situation. I was able to get truck stopped but wasn't sure if it actually would. Per looking online other people with same model ford trucks have experienced same exact issue where brake fluid leaks from master cylinder into brake booster causing brake failure. Very very dangerous ford should issue recall!

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
I got into my truck parked in the driveway on a level surface. I cranked the truck and pressed the brake to put it into gear and the brakes completely failed. The brakes went all the way to the floor and the dashboard displayed low brake fluid. It not once ever displayed low brake fluid before the failure. The dealership is telling me that the master cylinder will be a recall but not yet and they will replace the part with the defective one. I'm highly alarmed. I can't believe they want to put me back into a truck that the brakes completly failed, with a know defective part that gives on warning that it will fail. When the tow truck driver came to pick the truck of for ford he told me we need to turn the truck around to tow it. When he tried using the brakes he could not believe that they did absolutely nothing. He was scared to try and move the truck and towed it backwards. The dealership also said the brake booster needed to be replaced.
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.
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.
An article in our local paper,from the associated press said your organization was investigating the problem with the ford 2014,f-150,3.5l engine,for brake failure.on inspection of my vehicle,there is a puddle 15"x5" of what i would guess is brake fluid that has leaked down the drivers side strut.i have called the dealer and he said ,"he hadn't heard of this problem.i plan to take the truck in very soon.vehicle was stationary when observed above.
While driving the driver was driving on the interstate, the car in front of him stopped. When the driver went to apply his brakes, the pedal went to the floor and he had no control of the brakes. He was able to avoid collision by pulling to the side of the road. The truck had to be towed to a dealership to be repaired. It was determined the brake booster and master cylinder failed and required replacement. Although we have several other 2014 f-150s that were included in recall 16s24, this one, we were told, was not. However, i believe it should have been.
I parked the vehicle for the evening, and applied the ebrake. The next day, i entered the vehicle, and pushed the brake pedal to safely disengage the ebrake. The brake pedal went to the floor-no brakes. I opened the hood, and saw an empty master cylinder reservoir.i checked for leaks underneath the vehicle, but was unable to detect a point of fluid loss. As the fluid had to be somewhere, i removed the vacuum line from the vacuum booster, and found the id of the hose was wet. I added a full pint of dot 4 brake fluid, and pumped the brakes multiple times. This resulted in the draining of the master cylinder reservoir. I then had a friend tow my truck via flatbed, to my dealer. Upon inspection, the service tech found that the problem was due to an internal failure of the master cylinder. This matched exactly the problem witnessed during the 2013-2014 f-150 recall for seal failure of the master cylinder. This recall was for certain ford f-150's with 3.5 liter engines built thru aug. 31st 2014.my vehicle is of the same configuration, but was built in nov. 2014. I consider myself lucky that the brake failure (complete, without warning), didn't happen while the vehicle was in motion. I believe that the recall needs to be expanded.
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?
Ipurchase the vehicle,used 1/3/2020 after purchase a couple of months .the brakes seam to lose the pressure on the foot pedal, this just happen one time with me an again another time with my wife an than another time me ,so after that i carried the truck back to wear i purchase it they check it an they said the brake fluid is ok you need to take it to mechanic to check it out , so i took it a person the works autoshe put a newbrake manifold where you put the oil he bled all the lines and put a couple of other things on it and finally said i can't fix it take it to a dealership so after taking it to the dealership they said the hcu and the ecu replacement is a dl 32 2c215 c after caulking with them i told him that was too much money and i don't think that that part should be working like that hoff intermediate no and there's no guarantee that that fix the problem please advise thank you
Service advancetrack and service brake system warning lights iluminated while driving on a highway in a straight line. No sharp turns or hard braking, just sraight line driving.
Master cylinder dumping brake fluid into brake booster causing vehicle to have no fluid in resivor and no brake pedal. There was a recall on some 2014 models. Dealer who repaired mind said there is no open recall. I dont know if this was repaired before. This happened on highway 408 in florida. Orlando area.
Driver reported brakes felt spongy in the morning on location.driver functioned brakes a few time in park and light came on.checked fluid level and it was low.
The bolts that hold the front brake caliper mounting brackets to the front spindle on both sides of the truck will come out on you, and it causes the caliper, and the caliper mounting bracket to come off on you.in my case, it came completely off once while backing up, and the other side came completely off while driving down the road. I still had somewhat back brakes left to get stopped. However, it sounded like the whole front end was coming out of it. I honestly thought the 4 wheel drive transfer case and transmission was falling out of it, due to the noise it made, and the jerking, jumping and wobbling it done when it came loose. Had i of been in rush hour traffic on the freeway, it would have caused a wreck if i would have had to stop quickly. I was lucky one come off while backing out of my driveway, and the other came off driving in my neighborhood going 20 mph. This was a scary situation due to it being a sudden event, with no warning what so ever each time it done it. I never would have thought a new truck would have a problem such as this, because it is basically the brakes falling off of it.
My vehicle parked in my driveway.when i got in it to leave the brake pedal pushed down to the floor and the "low brake fluid" indicator came on.when i checked the brake fluid the fluid reservoir was empty.i had absolutely no brakes front or rear. When i filled the reservoir the brake fluid leaked out immediately from somewhere in the master cylinder without the truck even running or depressing the brake pedal.i had the truck towed to my dealer.the tow truck driver told me i was the second 2014 f150 he had towed today for the same brake issue.my dealer informed me that there was a recall out on itbut i have received no notifications from ford.this is an incredibly dangerous situation and if i had been driving when the brake fluid emptied out of the master cylinder it could have been catastrophic.
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.
6 power brake failures in less than 1 month.first time to dealer could not find issue.after 4 more failures they were able to reproduce.brake pedal becomes extremely hard and difficult to stop truck.happens at any speed.they replaced brake booster pressure switch and said it was fixed.it is not, failed twice today.all 6 failures have occurred after mc was replaced under recall.brake system is unsafe!!!!
We were driving at 55 mph down highway when suddenly trucks rear end jumped up in the air i coasted to the shouldergot towed to shop to find out the rear end transfer case and transmission had locked up and completly stripped everything teeth were broken on all parts pieces litterally fell out of the rear end while taking it apart put all new parts in truck rear end transfer and transmission only to have it to do again only this time i was going 30 mph so it didnt destroy power train this time only shot to first gear and stayed there limp mode is what they call it and i found a recall on certaian 2013 2014 2015 and 2016 models yet it isnt showing up online here the mechanic said that explained what happened to the first power train how it was gutted from rear end to transmission i was towing a trailer the first time he said that was the only thing that kept me from flipping lucky me so how do i get ford to name this a recall and reimburse my first bill concerned consumer
There are two safety recalls on 2014 ford f150 brake master cylinder failures.my vin is not on the recall list but i have the exact same problem as they have.my brakes failed and i almost ran into a cross street with traffic.i have the vehicle in the shop now and they say if i am not on their recall list they can not help.my vehicle is the same year, same model, same engine etc. So i am confused.this is definetely a safety concern.will be interesting how many other vehicles like mine have the same problem.o
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 20 mph, the brake system failed and there was a complete loss of brake pedal functionality. The contact engaged the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was repaired, but the diagnosis was not provided. Autonation ford arlington (1400 interstate 20 west, arlington, tx 76017, (817) 200-4503) referenced nhtsa campaign number: 16v343000 (service brakes, hydraulic) as a possible cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.updated 11/20/18
I started to pull out of my drive way and appliedthe 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 emergencyorder 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 .
Tonight on 5/13/2016 i had a complete brake failure and my low fluid brake light came on. I luckily was able to stop the truck without crashing but the gas me very concerned. I added a full quart of fluid and it was gone in 2 miles stein and i experienced another brake failure.
This vehicle is currently under recall for the master cylinder in the braking system. My vehicle already experienced the loss of the braking system in june of2015 and had the braking system replaced . Ford has know recalled the master cylinder and won't have a fix for months and wants the ownersto continue drivingtheir vehicle. The system on this vehicle has already failed and i don't t think the vehicle is safe to drive. Ford wants you to continue driving until they get a fix or a tragedy occurs to my family whichever happens first. I spoke with ford case #cas9744853 and don't feel this is right.
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.
I bought my 2014 ford f150 3.5 l truck new from livermore, ca ford.at 24,158 miles i received a recall for a brake master cylinder failure notice.ford repaired the brake system under 16s24.at 64,018 june 2021 as i was driving out of my church parking lot i stepped on the brakes and pedal went to the floor.no other indicator.i checked online and found the ford recall.i had not remembered that they already fixed it.when i took it to the dealer they said i would have to pay because there was no recall on it.i guess when they fixed it the first time they took my vin off of the list.i could have killed someone because the failure was immediate.i paid over $1000 for the repair and contacted ford.they said too bad, that there is no recall.i have been a mechanic over 60 years and never had to replace a master cylinder.then my new modern f150 has it fail twice in 3 years?i tried to file a complaint with ford and they told me no.that with no recall too bad.i love my truck but this dangerous situation should not be allowed.
I was driving the truck on a street and heard an audible chime, a full screen message center alert appeared, and illumination of the red brake warning indicator.mechanic identified this as same issue as nhtsa campaign: 16v345000 or ford recall program code: 16s24 : brake master cylinders failure resulting in brake fluid leakage from the primary reservoir into the brake booster.loss of brake fluid from the primary reservoir results in a complete loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.i'm trying to determine why this truck is not considered part of the known recall, the truck meets the recall specs and was manufactured at the plant specified in attached document from ford.the only difference is this truck indicates a build date of 9/8/2014 and recall date end is 8/31/2014.the truck still experienced recall brake failure, i'd request that the recall date be extended to include trucks built after 8/31/2014.
I was driving and the brake light came on, then the low brake fluid message came up and finally the break pedal went to the floor. I lost all breaking power. I was able to get to the dealership and they said it was the master cylinder leaking into the break booster. Both had to be replaced.
The brakes suddenly went out while i was driving.i learned that the brake fluid in the master cylinder had leaked into the brake booster.there is no warning and it happens suddenly.in researching this, i learned there are thousands of ford f150s that have the same problem.
Sudden loss of fluid causing inability to stop vehicle
I noticed the truck seemed to lunge forward even though my foot was on the brake.as i was approaching a stop sign. Shortly after that, ford sent me a recall on the brakes.(not for that problem though). I contacted the ford dealer. They indicated no parts were available to fix the problem until at least the 4th quarter but to bring it in if the brake light came on in the panel. I am trying to trade the truck in or return it to ford because it is a lease and the ford dealer doesn't want it because they indicated there is no fix for the recall at this point.the dealership offered me $6000 dollars less than the value of the truck because it has a recall on it.i don't feel i should be penalized to receive a reduced amount for the truck because of the ford recall.i have filed a complaint with ford also.any help or assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Brake light comes on and brakes fail to operate while driving. Brake fluid draining for master cylinder and entering booster
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.
Husband was driving our 2014 f150 truck and was stopped at a stop light; brake pedal went completely to floor. When he got home, it was discovered that brake fluid was leaking from the front right compartment. Confirmed with ford that our truck was not part of the recall 16s24, but was built in the dearborn plant during the same time frame as the trucks that were recalled and there is still a wide scope of vehicles that are not within the scope of the recall having the same issue.truck vin is [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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
I got into my truck, started it - nothing unusual.put the truck in reverse, it started back, i pressed the brake - the pedal went to the floor without stopping the vehicle.i believe it was probably idling a little higher than normal in warm-up mode.i had to engage the emergency brake to stop the vehicle and avoid hitting a fence.the low brake fluid warning came up afterwards, followed by a brake system red warning.i investigated, then had a mechanic neighbor assist me.there was no brake fluid leak evident - no apparent damaged brake lines or components.the neighbor indicated it was most likely an issue with the booster / master cylinder or the vacuum line.i put about 90 ounces of fluid in the reservoir during the trip to the dealership and it was 3/4 empty when i arrived.still no external leak evident.the dealership treated the repair as a warranty item, and told me the fluid was saturating the booster which had failed.they replaced both the booster and the master cylinder.allstar ford:prairieville, louisiana.
The vehicle was parked. I got in to leave the hotel and the brakes didn't work the brake went all the way to the floor. There was no warning to any brake issues. We have no brakes at all.i added brake fluid as there was none showing in the truck. I drove it to the ford dealer and the fluid was gone once again.i parked it there. Thankfully i wasn't on the highway going 80 mph. I looked up recalls and appears the master cylinder has failed.ford has no parts to fix at this time and they are not supplying any rentals.we have called ford numerous times and they have yet to call us back and it has been a week.
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 brake fluid was completely drained on my 2014 f-150 super crew 3.5 ecoboost truck.while this meets a recall for the vehicle year and engine type, my vin was not included.the vehicle only has 46000 miles and the brakes were completely shot.very scary situation and could have ended horribly.luckily i got it to a ford dealer.issue is a leak in the master cylinder and brake booster.i was in motion and the brakes stopped working.i pushed the brakes to the floor and slowly rolled to a stop and would have continued without a parking curb stopping my progress.thankfully i was not on a highway but in a parking lot when this happened.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While reversing the vehicle, the brake pedal became stuck to the floorboard. The contact drove the vehicle back onto the driveway, inspected the vehicle, and found that the brake fluid was leaking through the brake lines. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle's warranty was expired. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000. *dt
First start after sitting over the weekend put in reverse and had almost no brakes 3.5 eng. 2 month old truck and so many issues.
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.
My brake fluid light went off while on the highway. I turned around to head home and within ten minutes i had lost all breaking ability. Had the truck towed to the local dealership where it was diagnosed as 'break fluid leaking from the master cylinder into break boost' and then repaired by replacing a number of parts.i understand that my truck wasn't included in the recall of the same issue because it was manufactured two months after the recall dates, but i am concerned that my truck should have been included!
Lost all braking unexpectedly.brake pedal went all the way to the floor and i immediately hade no brakes whatsoever.described exactly as in this article - http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/us-investigates-420000-ford-f-150s-for-brake-failure-371060011.htmli was leaving my office parking garage and was very lucky to have acted quickly to engage the emergency brake.co-workers helped me push the vehicle back into an empty parking spot where it was later towed to the dealership at dealership's expense.around 10k miles or less at the time of the incident.ford dealership said all fluid had leaked from the master cylinder into the booster.i view this as a serious defect and am highly suspect of the safety of this vehicle, as a result.please advise.
When attempting to stop while towing 7,800lb 5th wheel camper the brake pedal went to the floor and the brake warning light came on. I had to use the trailers electric brakes to stop the truck. I then checked the truck for leaks and found none. When i checked the brake fluid level it was empty. Truck bed to be towed to a dealer. Ford admitted it was covered under a safety recall but has no replacement parts and doesn't know when they will have any ready.
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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that there was a loss of brake fluid. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The dealer indicated that the master cylinder failed and caused brake fluid to leak into the brake booster. The dealer indicated that the part was not in production yet to receive the repair. After keeping the vehicle for a day, the dealer indicated that they had the brake booster and the master cylinder to replace the part. The vehicle was repaired by the dealer. The contact was uncertain if the same part was replaced and not the newly designed part because the dealer and the manufacturer stated it was not yet in production. The contact was unable to confirm that the remedy was provided by the dealer. The failure mileage was not available. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I went to operate the vehicle today and brake pedal went all the way to the floor.a warning came on that brake fluid was low.i opened the hood and there was no fluid in the reservoir.i filled it up and started driving.within two minutes the warning came on again.i again opened the hood and the reservoir was empty.there is no sign of a leak under the truck.once again i filled it upand within a minute or two the low fluid message came on again and the pedal would go to the floor.i continued to drive it to the local ford dealer very slowly, using the e-brake and gearing to stop as needed.dealer could find no sign of a leak and thinks it may be the fluid bypassing the master brake cylinder and collecting in the brake booster.this is a very dangerous condition and i see i am not the only 2014 f-150 with defective brakes.this is a 5000 pound plus vehicle, one would expect it to have a very reliable braking system.hopefully there will be a recall as a result of this investigation http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/us-investigates-420000-ford-f-150s-for-brake-failure-371060011.html
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 exact same symptons listed in safety recall notice 16s24/ nhtsa recall 16v-345, however this does not cover 5.0 v8 motors only 3.5l ecoboost despite the same brake components being used. So far over a quarter million trucks have been recalled. Apparently newer 2015/16 f150s are experiencing similiar issues as well evidence of a large defect in newer model f150 braking components.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the vehicle down shifted to 1st gear without warning. The contact was able to safely guide the vehicle off of the roadway. The vehicle was restarted but failed to resume normal operation. The vehicle was driven to kindle ford-lincoln 525 stone harbor blvd, cape may court house, nj 08210 (609) 465-5000) to be diagnosed. The result was inconclusive. A transmission flush was performed however, the failure recurred. The vehicle then was taken to (ciocca ford of quakertown service center1531 park ave, quakertown, pa 18951(800) 737-0963) where it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
Failed master cylinder dumped all brake fluid into booster, resulting in complete loss of braking.only the parking brakes still work, and they perform terribly.occurred without notice during highway driving.
Started vehicle after work, low brake fluid warning indicated.pressed the pedal and it went straight to the floor. Vehicle has less than 17,000 miles on it and less than 2 years old.no brake pressure is a serious safety risk. Called ford and they sent a tow truck.i have concerns that it could happen again even after the truck is repaired.
Vehicle was stopped at a red light with the operator's foot on the bake, vehicle began to accelerate unintentionally, operator was unable to stop and avoid collision of car in front of truck until the vehicle was placed in park. This prevented a collision from occurring. Incident occurred a second time on 1/22/2015 when vehicle was stopped at intersection. Truck narrowly missed oncoming traffic before transmission was forced by operator into "park". Continuing to apply pressure on the brakes and pumping the brakes were not successful in stopping the acceleration of the vehicle.
The break system failed, the warning light for low brake fluid came on and immediately after that the breaking system would not function. I pumped the brakes in an effort to get some petal but to no avail. The petal went to the floor. My speed was approx. 45. I was successful in bring the vehicle to a stop with hard pressure on the petal and the use of the emergency brake. I was within a mile of a mechanic and was able to slowly drive the vehicle to his shop for evaluation. Upon initial inspection the mechanic determined that the master cylinder had failed. He advised that under no circumstances should the vehicle be driven. I subsequently had the vehicle towed to a local ford dealership for evaluation. I was informed that they would have to contact ford corporate for directions as how to proceed. To date my vehicle is at the dealership with no word as how they plan to rectify the problem. This is a serious issue. I felt like my life was in great danger when this occurred. This needs to be addressed by ford and the ntsb.
While drivingalong a city street the brake fluid level low message came on while at the same time thebrake light lit up on console. At this point had i hadno brakes. Depressing brake pedal to the floor board only marginally slowed the vehicle. I was able to get it to a safe location without incidence.the dealer mechanic found the master cylinder had leaked and fluiddrained into the brake booster. They replaced the master cylinder and booster. The vehicle only has approximately 29k miles.
I own a 2014 f150 4x4 with 3.5 eco boost v6, on my way to work the brake light came on than the low brake fluid light came on and immediately after that the warning ding. Went to hit brakes and they went to the floor and the truck would not stop. I had complete front brake failure and very little breaking in the rear wheels. With what little rear brake i had i was able to slow the truck down and limp it to the store where i checked the fluid level and it was empty. Thinking i was the cause i put two cans of fluid back into the system trying to get it to the dealership. Not 2 blocks later the breaks are gone again, i was able to get it to the dealership where they said they thought this would be warranty work knowing full well it was a recall. I was not informed or told by the dealer nor the ford of the recall and break system failure. They also report that dealer stock parts can't be used and that ford has to sent them the new parts. Great untested parts that i cannot get accept through dealership. I complained to ford and they have ignored me. The dealership has the truck and has not communicated at all to me in a week.
Person was pulling away from curb when brakes failed. Brake pedal was pressed to the floor. He immediately slammed the truck into park and engaged the emergency brake. Upon looking, saw that there was no brake fluid. This happened on a residential street.
Master cylinder leaking into brake booster
There was a recall for a brake booster master cylinder in may of 2016.we bought the truck used in dec 2017.the mileage was 35774 when the recall was done. We have been driving the truck and now the brake booster is out again. We replaced the front brakes thinking that was the problem but the booster started acting up again. After replacing the brakes, the pedal went to floor and had to be pumped to have brakes. I think they replaced it with yet another defective part. The truck is not driveable.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact received a recall notification for the brakes. The part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The nhtsa campaign number was not available.
Recall safety notice 16s24/nhtsa recall16v-345 i took the truck back on 8/1/15 because i had problems with the breaks and other things and they kept it for 2 weeks working on itreplaced everything and it was good well i started having problems again and called ford and they told me everything was ok that it proberly just needed a battery then around may 15th the ford dealer called and said that the truck has another recall on the breaks and the parts that they replaced already and would be calling some time in june to bring it in well on june 5th i was coming home from work and my breaks went out for a second time this time i was notso lucky went out of the road over a 15 to 20 foot embankment and side swiped a tree and barely missed a guard rail and went down into a creek could not get the truck to stop the only thing i could think to do was shut the truck off to stop it i would have been killed if not because i was heading for a bigtree and would have hit it head on . The man that came to get it out said the breaks were outand he had it shove it up into park to keep it from hitting some ones house. My husband called the ford dealer and put it on speaker phone and asked if they had got the arts in to fix the truck and they said no they did not and they have still not called to this day.
Driving to work on the local freeway. Low brake light came on and i pulled off to a near by autozone .5 miles away. Checkbrake fuildwhich was almost completely empty. Bought a 32 oz bottle of brake fuild. Drive another 6 miles to work and the low brake fuild light came on. Poured the rest of the fuild to get to another autozone to buy another 2 bottles of fuild to get to a garage near my house. Used a total of 3bottles and no sign of fuild leaking anywhere on my truck. The fuild could be leaking into the booter.as of right now waiting on my truck to be looked over for the issue of lost brake fuild at my local garage.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150 towing a cougar fifth wheel camper. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle wobbled when the brake pedal was depressed. The dealer diagnosed that the rotors were overheating. The rotors needed to be replaced. Thevehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 24,000.
Emeerency brake system failure. Emergency brake will not release. Emergency brake light comes on when vehicle shifted from park to drive. Emergency brake light alarms and displays randomly while driving down road.emergency brake system alarm will not release after multiple pull attempts.
Driving to work, the brake fluid warning message was displayed.when i arrived at work the brake fluid reservoir was completely empty.the dealer stated the master cylinder and the booster were defective and needed to be replaced.the brake fluid had leaked into the booster.i had no braking capability, fortunately i had already arrived at work when i lost all braking capability.there is a recall on master cylinders and brake boosters on 2013-2014 f150's with v6 engines but mine is a v8 so it's not part of the recall.i had to pay my $100 deductible and use my extended warranty to have my vehicle repaired.a truck that's not even 3 years old with 37k should not be experience complete brake failure.
Started at 8k miles.while sitting at a stop, the pedal gradually goes to the floor (sometimes).most times it does not.dealer mechanic verified it, called ford, they told him its normal!!sometimes the truck will even creep forward.ford told tech to do nothing.
While driving to work i got a warning engine in my truck that indicated i had a problem with my brakes. I took it straight to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the problem.all of the brake fluid had leaked into the brake booster and had been burnt off in the engine. He told me that there was a recall, but i would have to check with ford.i took the truck to the dealership i purchased it from and was told that even though i had experienced the exact failure described in recall#16v345000, and even though my truck is the exact make & model included in the recall that my vin was not included and therefore would not be covered under the recall.my truck is 5 years old and only has 42k miles on it.ford is offering to replace the master cylinder & brake booster for a cost of $1032 +tax.with an independent mechanic's diagnosis and ford service departments same diagnosis that the failure and the make & model are identical, i do not understand why my truck is not covered under the recall and request a further investigation as to why ford is not responsible for the replacement of the failed components.
Brake fluid keeps draining with no visible leaks. Having the same issue as others in its year with fluid draining into the brake booster but has had no recall fix completed.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the part needed to perform the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
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.
Aftertaking a 100 mile trip truck was parked for 24 hours. As i started vehicle information screen showed a low brake fluid level and a brake warning light on. After exploring the master cylinder was extremely. After examining all brake lines and the ground for leaking fluid ther was none/wet spots any where.i went to a care store with a different vehicle i added 12 fluid ounces of dot 4 brake fluid. After testing the brakes depressing the brake pedal 4 or 5 times the pedal stayed very soft and depessed all the way to the floor. Once again the master cylinder was empty of fluid wit absolutely no oil visible on the truck or on ground .had vehicle towed to a repair facility. I was told by the mechanic that master cylinder fail and all fluid accumulated in the booster pump. I am aware the ford has recalled 2013/2014 ff-150 with the 3.5 engine for the same problem..
When you go to stop at stop sign you have your foot on the brake pedal, the brake pedal goes to the floor. If you have to dynamite the brakes, it goes to the floor. If you have to stop in a hurry, such as a deercrossing in front of you, you may not be able to stop, which is a scary situation. Have been to ford dealer on 4/11/2018, replaced brake pads, rotors, still did not correct the situation, and repair bill for $897.00. Then on 4/23/18, went back to ford dealer and had brake booster and master cylinder replaced and still did not correct the situation and this repair bill was $459.00. This is not a good situation to be in and am wondering if this a ford defect
While driving at 45 mph the [low brake fluid] light came on with an audible ding. Approximately 15 seconds later we stopped at a traffic light. Made a left upon green light traveled 2 tenths of a mile and readied to exit onto a ramp toward another road. When the brakes were applied the pedal went to the floor without any effect in stopping the vehicle. I immediately moved the vehicle's right side off the shoulder to slow down and pumped the brakes 4 more times which seemed to have a very minimal effect as i continued to completely let the vehicle come to a stop off the side of the road.once traffic cleared we turned the vehicle around and literally coasted 15mph into a food mart exxon 100 feet behind us and came to a stop as the wheels touched the curb. Then we called ford roadside service for a tow to the dealership. After waiting 2 hours we proceeded to the dealership f-150 in tow. We were informed by the dealership that the master cylinder failed pushing all the brake fluid into the booster.
On july 19, 2020 ~3:30p, i was traveling on ca 134 w transitioning to ca 101 n.as i applied the brakes the pedal went straight to the floor with no braking effect being initiated.vigorously pumping the brakes resulted in virtually no braking effect.turning the emergency flashers on, i thenallowed the vehicle to coast to a stop on the shoulder of the ca 101 north and awaited for roadside assistance.there was no previous braking performance issue, annunciator warning, or alarm of any form to suggest a pending issue.only upon the actual failure itself did a display message show up on the dash.that message read something like "brake fluid low".as i waited for roadside assistance, i took a moment to inspect the area under the vehicle looking for evidence of any dripping or leaking fluids.there was none and the vehicle was otherwise well maintained with approximately 60,000 miles on it.i contacted aaa for an emergency tow.when the aaa flatbed truck arrived, the driver, bill, asked the nature of the problem and i informed him it was a virtual 100% brake failure.after he loaded the truck onto the flat bed, he noted with surprise that the vehicle had indeed lost 100% of its brakes.aaa towed the vehicle to their nearest service center located at 5451 tujunga ave, north hollywood (los angeles), ca.when thethere, dan, the technician/owner in charge, spoke with me after his initial inspection, he was surprised to find the vehicle had 100% brake failure with no evidence of any external leaks. He did note that the brake fluid reservoir was empty but there was no leaks.he surmised that the fluid must have leaked "internally" and thereafter indicated he would do no work on the vehicle, believing that ford needed to analyze the failure.my 91 year old passenger and i were lucky to have not been the cause of a major highway accident.
Yesterday when i got into my truck and started it the low brake fluid light came on and the brake pedal instantly when to the floor leaving the truck with no brakes. I got out and checked the brake fluid reservoir level and it was completely empty but, there was no leaks anywhere, the truck had to be towed to get fixed. I discussed it with joe and upon exploring this further joe came across the attached article and it turns out this sudden total loss of breaks has happened to several other f150 truck and are being investigated
Brakes failure at 20,200 miles. Brake booster and master cylinder failed while pulling out of garage. After stopping with the e-brake, several dash warning illuminated and a message of low brake fluid appeared. No fluid was found in reservoir and was sucked into the brake booster. Ford attempted to blame the failure on the after market charge air cooler. Truck is s 2014 ford f-150 platinum 3.5l ecoboost 4x4.

The contact took the vehicle to the dealer several times a month, but the failure could not be replicated. The contact later received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The dealer was unable to provide a time frame that the manufacturer would supply the parts. The failure mileage was not available. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Brakes lock up entirely in wet conditions was going on the highway and the brake pedal became completely stiff
There is a shaking and vibration transmitted thru the brake pedal and steering wheel when ever the brakes are applied. This happens only when the brakes are applied during stopping. According to the ford dealership this is a problem with f150's. Turning the rotators helps for awhile.
Loss of brake control due to master brake cylinder failure while vehicle in motion. Occurred immediately after brake system warning alert on dashboard. Brake pedal went to floorboard without any brake control. Checked brake fluid reservoir immediately after safety parking and it was empty. This event appears connected to the ford f150 model year 13-14 with 3.5l ecoboost engine master brake cylinder issue.
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.
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.
Truck was parked on a hill and when i returned i got message low brake fluid and had no brakes.i added brake fluid and within 2 minutes it all leaked out, but nothing on the ground. Had truck towed and the ford service department said all the brake fluid had leaked from the master cylinder to the brake booster.both were replaced by local ford dealership under warranty.truck had 10,000 miles at the time. Seems like this is the same issue many others have had.very dangerous. Hopefully a recall will be done before somebody dies because of it.
My family and i had headed home from a family vacation and got only 4 miles from my wife's family home when a low break fluid level light came on suddenly.i drove for about 30 seconds before pulling over to the side of road to turn truck off, then on again hoping this might solve what i thought would be an electrical issue.when i turned the truck back on, the sensor was still on.i proceeded to drive about 1/2 mile further when i needed to slow a bit due to turn in road.the break pedal went down to the floorboard.this was less than 90 seconds total after the light came on to begin with.knowing something was seriously wrong with the truck, we immediately pulled over for good and called a tow truck.once it got to the dealership, they informed me that the break master cylinder and booster were shot and that ford had already begun a recall on this issue, though had not notified the consumers yet and were not planning to do so until mid july.that was straight from the dealership that my truck was towed to.knowing this, my father in law and i begun to call other dealers within 100 miles to see if they might have a master cylinder and booster available and of course, they did not as ford had already begun recalling the old from the dealers.this is a serious issue and my family and i could have been severely injured had we not thought and acted quickly.anybody who has ever driven a vehicle knows that most light sensors warn you of a problem that you have some time to look into.this issue is far more serious.we had seconds to pull over and get safe, or the breaks would have been completely dry of fluid levels and the vehicle hitting something or someone would have been completely out of our control.my vehicles now sits waiting for parts that may or may not be available anytime soon.dealership just said to throw some break fluid in and go.
The drivers side front started leaking brake fluid.before i saw that i was parked, started up the vehicle and stepped on the brake pedal to shift into reverse.the brake pedal felt loose and went all the way to the floor.i then examined the exterior, where i saw the leaking.to me this fits the recall for the brakes/cylinder, but my vehicle does not fall within the correct date of manufactoring.it is a 2014 ford f-150 with the 3.5 ecoboostit has barely 80k miles.i have never had a brake issue on a vehicle before especially one under 100k.i think they need to expand the recall.i would be willing to offer up my broken parts for them to look at.i was lucky the vehicle was parked and i was smart enough to get out and look as i noticed something was wrong.
Nhtsa recall 16v-345 8/11/20, i encountered the defect described in the above srreport. The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of brakefluid with the resulting visual and audible alarms. I verified at that time that the reservoir in the master cylinder was empty and that the brake fluid had leaked from the reservoir. Additional brake fluid was added and the brakes were cycled to attempt to get braking performance back. 3 cups of fluid leaked from the reservoir with no visible liquid on the outside of the reservoir or anywhere else under the vehicle. There was leakage into the brake booster.nhtsa 16v-345 states: 'owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a ford dealer to have the brake master cylinder replaced. Additionally, the brake booster will be replaced if the brake master cylinder is leaking.'sr 16s24 states as to remedy: 'owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a ford dealer to have the brake master cylinder replacedadditionally the brake booster will be replaced if the brake master cylinder is leaking.' took the vehicle to a ford dealer (classic ford of columbia). After the dealer completing their evaluation, i was advised that the master cylinder had failed and needed to be replaced and that, the brake booster needed to be replaced. The brake booster wasstated to be at my expense and not covered by the recall. I pointed out to the dealer that i wanted the master cylinder and the brake booster repaired under the recall. Upon delivery i inquired and was advised that the brake booster was not replaced because it did not need to be. I had been advised that it needed to be replaced when they were wanting me to pay for it. Complaint: the recall indicates that the brake booster will be replaced if the master cylinder is leaking. It was. The action is not discretionary. Ford has failed to perform what was required by the recall program.
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.
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...
Master cylinder leaked into the brake booster causing brake failures.there is a recall on this but according to the ford website my vehicle is not part of that recall.

2014 f150 ecoboost lost power brake assist at 70 mph.recently had master cylinder replaced under recall program.dealer can not find any issue with brakes.this is a serious safety concern to lose ability to stop truck,no issue prior to recall replacement.pedal became hard and required 2 feet to bring truck to stop.check brake system light came on and brake idiot light.had towed to dealer.unable to find an issue.
While driving on the freeway, brake fluid low light appeared followed by loss of brakes. Had to use emergency brakes to avoid hitting the car in front of me. Had vehicle towed to nearest ford dealership. Mechanics stated that the brake fluid leaked internally between the booster and master cylinder.
Driving ~45 mph attempted to stop car at red light.pedal went to floor and truck only slowed, no complete braking to an ordinary stop.fortunately, intersection was empty as truck didn't completely stop until through intersection.indicator & warning of low brake fluid appeared after incident.
At 61,000 miles, while driving on the highway, my master cylinder suffered a sudden catastrophic failure (total brake fluid leak). This resulted in required replacement of entire front braking system at dealership.
I had use the truck all weekend, it was running fine, parked it in my driveway. Started vehicle monday morning and got a warning light saying "brake fluid low". I've never seen this light in my life, let alone since owning this truck. Pushed the brake pedal, and it went to the floor, there were no brakes. Checked the reservoir, there was no fluid. Called el cajon ford, in ca. Told them i was having it towed in. In the meantime, got on line to research possible problems, found that there had been a recall for this exact problem. Got to the dealership and the service advisor acknowledged there had been a recall, but said he would need to inspect the truck. Called me back and confirmed this was the issue, but said my vin was not one of the recalled vehicles. Same parts, same problem, but not covered. I called ford customer service and waited two days for them to determine they were not going to cover this problem. This is a factory defect, not to mention a safety hazard, that is acknowledged by ford, and they are not standing behind it. Was told it was only certain vin made in certain plants. It's the master cylinder, that most likely made by one manufacturer and ships to all ford plants,
The brakes completely failed. I had just unhooked a trailer.i pulled forward and stopped and then the brake pedal went right to the floor.i put it in gear and creeped forward. Only with heavy pedal pumping did i get slight braking (at approx 5mph) the master cylinder totally emptied into the brake booster.when filling the master cylinder it leaked the whole bottle into the booster within minutesthe dealer states the truck has no brakes at this time. Complete brake failure.
On 5/24/16 at approximately 5:30pm while driving on the florida turnpike, a low brake fluid warning light appeared on the instrument panel.about 10 miles down the road, i lost braking in the truck - the pedal simply would go to the floor.fortunately, i was in the far right hand lane and was able to get off to the side of the road and come to a stop.i called aaa and had the truck towed to the dealer i purchased it from.
Brakes went out while driving light come on and no brakes no leaks showing added fluid guess going into booster not showing a leak anywhere else
While going down a toll road at 85 mph (the speed limit) a brake warning light came on.after pumping the breaks a couple of times it was obvious that i was losing fluid somewhere.within 10 minutes the breaks barely responded to my pumping so i took the truck to the ford dealer that was nearby.the master cylinder apparently failed with no warning or without any outside "issues".the truck has 69,000 miles so the warranty was no longer valid.cost was almost $900 to replace.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago the front driver side brake hose burst and i lost all the brake fluid. Now on 10/17/2020 the passenger front side brake hose burst. They both burst in the same area are. This is the hose that connects the main brake line to the caliper. When it was noticed the truck was in parking lot space and getting ready to drive off. Both time it happened in a walmart parking lot. I called the dealership where i purchased the truck and the service department has never seen this before. I even called my regular mechanic and he stated it was very odd for this to happen.
Lost brakes at the same time the low brake fuid warning light came on. Was able to slow down by shifting the automatic transmission into a lower gear and using the emergency brake. The the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir was empty. I refilled the brake fluid reservoir up to the full line. It brake warning light was off so i decided to try to make it back home. About 2 uses of the brakes and they failed completely again as i used the same method of stopping the truck as i did before when i found a safe place to get off the road. After having it towed to my house i pulled the master cylinder off the brake booster and the booster was full of brake fluid. The rear seal of the master cylinder had completely failed. The issue is the same issue as on the other 2 recalls on 2014 ford f150 ecoboost and the other 2014 ford f150 with the rear seal on the brake master cylinder failing which allows the brake fluid to be pumped into the brake booster instead of the brake calipers. If they used the same brake master cylinder on the 5.0 liter f150 as they did on the recalled f150s, then they need to recall these also.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal, which failed to engage. The contact veered to the shoulder of the road and applied the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. When the contact turned the vehicle off and back on, it resumed normal operationg. The vehicle was taken to zeck ford (4501 s 4th st, leavenworth, ks 66048, (800) 394-1650) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer stated that the brake master cylinder could possibly be the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: cas-22333089. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.
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.
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.
Lost brake fluid and brake pedal went to floor while trying to brake on the interstate. Luckily i was able to slow the truck down when i came to a stop i had zero brake fluid and no obvious leak.
The rear brakes of my 2014 f 150 sporadically lock up for a few sec after short or long distance highway drive. The actual lock up occurs when i make a turn into and around a parking lot. Once i have completed the turn the brakes quickly release themselves.i have taken it to my local ford dealer but can never replicate it, so nothing has been to even look at the braking system.the dealership told me it is probably just the abs acting up once in awhile.
Brake fluid warning light came on. When i tried to stop, there was near complete brake failure. Pedal went to floor with only minor braking capacity. Had truck towed to ford dealer. I had truck at my local dealer on 6/16/2016 and asked them to check the brakes because of the recall i had heard about. I was told there was not a fix for it as of yet. No mention was made of brake fluid being low at that time nor was there any mention that i may lose all braking
When pushing on brakes after stopping, the pedal becomes soft and goes farther down.this has happened several times when stopping at a traffic light, stop sign, and trying to park on driveway.
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.
My trucks brakes went to the floor board. No brakes, i barley missed being t-boned. I had new breaks about a 2 months ago. No brake fluid but no leakage on the ground. My son told me if could be the master cylinder so i looked it up to see how much one cost and seen recalls on 2014 f150 for failure of master cylinder but my vin is not listed. Help please
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 turningwhile going from 35 to 70 mph on highway or side street. Only 19000miles
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.
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.
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).
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 andfound 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.
On the night of july 12 2018, i took my wife and my 3yr old to a store in my 2014 f150 with only 37,300 miles,everything felt normal on the truck with no indications of any mechanical problems. On our way back home while on the highway at about 65mph i put my foot on the brake to slow down for a merging car and my foot went clear to the floor board and no brakes what so ever, at the same time a warning came on the dash that said 'brake fluid level low'. This could have ended horrible if it would have been around rush hour. Luckily there was light traffic and i was able to stop the truck with the transmission and emergency brake. After this was over i checked the brake cylinder and it was empty, i know it was full but there were no signs of leaks, after filling it back up i took it for a drive and in just 2 miles it was empty again with mo brakes. The tech at the ford dealer said the master cylinder and brake booster went out and that the fluid leaked into the booster. This didnt just put my life in danger, it was also my wife and 3yr old and any driver around me. How does a truck loose something as important as the brakes at only 37,000 miles?
Complete loss of power brakes continues.began after recall of master cylinder.power assist is lost and brakes require 2 feet to stop the truck.only happens on raining days.dealer was able to reproduce and replaced pressure switch which has not corrected it.last night brakes failed 4 times on commute home.had to pull off road to avoid collision and caused me to blow out tire hitting something on side of road.unacceptable ford!!!!to date 500.00 for switch and 200.00 for blown tire.no point in returning to dealer unless it is raining because without a code or active fault technicians are unable to diagnose.need ford engineering to figure this out before serious injury.
Brakes failed after i had driven and parked the truck.brakes worked normal. Cranked up and went to drive away and brake warning light illuminates.applied brakes and pedal goes to the floor. Opened hood, master cylinder empty.itā€™s looks like the brake master cylinder suddenly failed.luckily it happened when i was starting off.
Brake pedal went all the way to the floor before finally stopping the vehicle. The vehicle was moving slowly getting into the street. Did not crashed because i was keeping a long distance from the vehicle in front. Took to the ford dealer and was told of no recalls and suggested to take it to a place where they make oil changes and minor repairs for an inspection. Did as told and they checked the brakes for wear, leaks and visual damage and found none.
We had sold the house and were moving. Truck was parked in front of house with travel trailer attached to hitch. Preparing to drive away, and had no brakes. Checked brake fluid and had none. Took other car to purchase, came back and filled, and brake fluid all drained out. Had to unhook trailer and have vehicle towed. Local dealer replaced master brake cylinder and booster the next day. Spent $719 plus finding accommodations for the night,dealer said there was no recall at that time.drove nearly 600 miles, and that night we lost power. Andhad to have the truck towed again.this time they said it was a defective throttle body.had to stay 1 night in a hotel, then 3 more nights in anrv park waiting for parts, and spent $445 in repairs.our move was delayed several days with all of this, due to a truck that had less than 60,000 miles on it, and has been well maintained.i since inadvertently found out that master cylinder and booster have now been recalled, but i have to physically go to a ford dealer to request a refund, and was told it could take 6-8 weeks.i was also told that it would not cover the throttle body. I don't understand how our truck that has not given us any problems before could have these two major issues back to back without them being related.all of this has set us back nearly $2000.
Service advance track, abs, break lights all on. Break pedal fades to floor when held ford dealer said module failure. This same truck had recall for hydraulic failure was serviced in 2016 now they want $1600 for a new module then the service managersaid pedal was not spongey. Like i said standing still in any gear including park press the break and hold it it fades to the floor reel safe i'm sure. Abs and break light only go on when you move truck.service advance track on when engine started.
While moving at a slow speed i pressed the break pedal and the pedal went all the way to the floor without applying the breaks.i immediately released the break pedal and then pressed it again.on this attempt the breaks did engage.
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.
Brake booster and brake master cylinder failed. Recall part on f150 with an eco boost but i have same vehicle with 5.0 engine and same part failed. Need help as this safety part is recalled on some models.
On 6-20-2021 the brakes failed on my 2014 ford f150 3.5 v6 ecoboost engine almost causing an accident.i found two recall notices but my vin number was not listed.i took the vehicle to ford in livermore, ca and had it repaired. I then contacted ford and i have a case number.i then went through all my maintenance history and found that there was actually a recall in 2017 with my vin number.apparently i did take the vehicle in and it was repaired.the recall was then deleted on my truck because it was repaired.now in 2021 the same problem happened again.a master cylinder is a pretty simple part and should not fail this often.i will follow up on this with ford.....
On 11/15/2020 the brake pedal in my 2014 ford f150 with ecoboost went to the floor while waiting at a stop light.the brake pedal could be pumped up, however would bleed off to the floor with constant moderate pressure.with no external leaks, this indicates a failed master cylinder.i see there are two recalls on the 2014 ford f150 with ecoboost that cover all of the 2014 model except for trucks built in june and july 2014.master cylinder failures and leaks are common in 2014 f150 with ecoboost and this is extremely unsafe.luckily although i had 3 other passengers and towing a utility trailer no one was injured.currently my truck is in the small gap between two recalls.this is unsatisfactory and ford motor company should be held to account and provide vehicles with basic safety equipment in proper operating order.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that while having the vehicle repaired at robberson ford located at (2100 ne 3rd st, bend, or 97701), the contact was informed that the brake pads were depleted on both sides and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that both pads needed to be replaced before a possible brake failure was experienced. The contact stated that there where no warning lights illuminated prior to the diagnosis. The vehicle was repaired by the dealer. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 41,656.
Driver was in route to a locations when the brake light became illuminated and brake pedal started to feel spongy.driver was able to safely pull over and insect the brake fluid reservoir which was very low.driver did a visual inspection and did not see any fluid leaks.
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.
Driving downhill on a city street warning light came on,low brake fluid.brake pedal very soft and braking was very weak. I was close to a auto parts store.put in almost a quart of brake fluid. Ford shop less than a mile away was closed until monday.day i had this incident was sat. 10/3/20ileft vehicle at the shop in oroville.
Ford f150 supercab 4x4 5.0 automatic. Purchased vehicle new in february 2015. Shortly after purchase, i noticedthe truck would begin to creep forward while stopped in traffic with the brake applied. This would require more effort to be applied to the brake pedal until the pedal would eventually go all the way to the floor. I took the truck in to the dealer at around 500 miles to have the brakes checked but was told that this condition was normal for power assist brakes. I have owned many vehicles with power assist brakes and this condition is not normal. The truck now has 11000 miles and the condition persists. Based on complaints from other f150 owners it appears that these trucks are equipped with defective master cylinders which are bypassing. So far i have not encountered a total brake failure but the braking problem withmy truckcould be a precursor to complete failure.i know that the brake problem has mainly been identifiedon trucks with the 3.5 engine but ford has acknowledged that it could affect trucks with other engines such as mine because it has the same braking system. While i had my truck at the dealer i was also told by the service manager that they checked the brakes on a new 2014 f150 on the lot and the brakes did the same thing as mine, therefore it was a"normal" condition. This appears to be a widespread problem and it is only a matter of time before there will be more accidents caused by these faulty master cylinders.
Driving down the interstate at 70 mph, the "check brake system" warning flashed on the dash. I went to push the brake pedal and it was locked in place. I physically could not depress the pedal, not even enough to disable the cruise control. I had to switch cruise off on the wheel, shift to neutral, and coast to a stop on the shoulder of the highway. Shut the truck down, turned back on and the code disappeared and my brakes worked again. Later that day, the exact same thing happened on the interstate again. Physically could not depress the brake pedal. It was like it was locked in place and i could not bring the truck to a stop. I took my truck into the dewey fordin ankeny, ia a couple nights later and they began diagnostics. 4 days later, they could not reproduce the problem, and advised me to come pick up the truck. Nothing against the dealer, as they cannot fix what they can't reproduce, and they were kind enough to provide a loaner and a discount on the diagnostics fee, but ford corporate really needs to get involved on this safety concern. I've tried calling their customer service, but they will do nothing until it can be diagnosed. If the dealer can't find the problem, then ford needs to send a product support representative to diagnose it themselves. As of today, my truck has done this 4 times since leaving dewey, but always when i am too far from their store to drop it off. At this point, im scared to drive my truck in traffic or with passengers. Please use your powers to relay this to ford as we have a serious problem that they are ignoring. I have a receipt from the dealer for the diagnostics if a copy of this is needed for my complaint.
Brake pedals when pressed went right to the floor. The vehichile was stationary in my driveway. Had it towed to a ford dealership. They replaced the master cylinder and boosterpump. I have a f150 eco 3.5
While driving 70 mph on the 408 expressway in orlando fl, i (along with wife and kids) spotted traffic congestion ahead. When i applied brakes i realized my brakes didn't work. An error flashed on my dashboard saying low brake fluid level. Using the emergency brake and downshifting the vehicle i was able to come to a safe start using the medium. When i took my vehicle to ford i was told the brake fluid leaked into the brake booster from the master cylinder causing the failure in my brakes. There weren't any leaks visible from the exterior of the vehicle. I was told there is a recall on trucks similar to mine for the same issue but for some reason my truck was not covered under the recall. I had to pay ford to get the vehicle fixed.
The brake pedal fades to the floor. Long braking time to stop. Increased braking pressure needed to stop the vehicle.
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.
Advance trac service warning light at 42000 miles on a muddy road. Followed manual for reset. It came back on in 200 miles on dry roads. Vehical has been washed of all mud.now all the brake light warnings are on on the dash. Abs, advance track service warning light, car with squiggle lines won't go off. Called for service. Reading this is a very common complaint!! recall????
Had a brake failure in 08/2016.took to dealer, brake booster & master cylinder replaced. I was informed it was covered under recall.was told vehicle needs to return to replace master cylinder again when remanufactured part is developed.talked to service department on 10/25/2016 and thy advised new parts are in.attempted to make appointment and was told i wasn't under recall (although i have paperwork).they then advised me that they installed remanufactured cylinder in august (???).i called main ford headquarters to explain and i asked how they would have had the part in august if it wasn't even available until the 4th quarter of '16 (by their admission on their website).rep couldn't answer and said she would call dealership.when she returned, she only stated, "yes, you have the remanufactured master cylinder".when asked how she could assure me this was actually the case, she couldn't.i'm scared!my wife had one failure & sure don't want to take a chance on another.is there anyway that y'all could get involved to assure her this was correctly repaired?i'm thinking that since they did put another mc in the vehicle, i was removed from the recall.i don't think i'm asking much.please help! thank you!

I started to backout of my drive way and my brakes failed.the pedal went straight to the floor and a "low brake fluid" message came up on the gauge cluster.i had just parked the truck 1.5 hours prior and the brakes were fine.i looked in the master cylinder and there was no fluid.i didn't find any fluid on the driveway, don't know what happened.i almost hit the neighbors car backing out.i had to get my truck towed to the dealership.i should find out tomorrow what the problem is, but i find this very freighting that the brakes can just fail like that.
I had a brake failure identical to that of what has already been reported, within the last 6 months.while driving on highway, i went to apply brakes and pedal went all the way to floorboard & i had little to no brake control.refilled reservoir but it was empty within 30 minutes.all fluid drained out of master cylinder and in to brake booster.had to have master cylinder replaced, and have not had problem since.
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.
Brake pump and booster has problems been 2 times i replace both
I was driiving on i-55 nb at mm 120 on sat 6/2/2018. The low brake fluid warning light came on as my brakes stopped workig. Fortunately i had an rv which did still have brakes. There was no brake fluid in sytem and no visible leaks. I added 2 cans of fluid but it was gone in 2 miles. The truck was towed tothe ford dealer in bloominton, il.and on monday i was told ithe brake fluid was leaking into the brake booster. I see online there is a recall for this exact problem ( your #16v345000) (ford #16s24). The dealer says my vin is not covered but i lost my brakes at 60 mph and feel it should be covered, it's the same issue.
I experienced a total failure of the brakes system. The brake light was not on and only came on later. The oil reservoir was totally empty and a even with a quart of oil added the reservoir is still empty with no visible leak.i was lucky to be able to stop the truck in a snow bank and no damage occur.i contacted ford and was told that my truck was not on the recall list but according to the recall (2013-2014 f-150 3.5liters) i ask why but got no answer.
Brake peddle went clear to floor aug 2015, were told by ford dealership break fluid ran into the brake booster. Did not cause a crash we were at a stop light on hill and started rolling backwards put on emergency brake before we rolled into the car behind us once light turned green we went up the hill and tried to turn could not stop and pedestrians were in crosswalk so we could not turn had to go straight and pull over.we were in downtown and found out later if we were able to turn it was a very steep down hill so good that we ended going straight it could have been a big issue for us.this issue once fixed then caused the bake lights not work work so we went back to dealership due to a switch that went bad due to the brake peddle going to the floor since we were on vacation in nashville tn when we left and started on road again soon found out that it also caused the bakes would notturn off the cruise control while driving on highway at 70 mph, we would hit brakes and we were still going 70 mph we did not know what was going on so we manually turned off cruise with switch on steering wheel. We had to get fixed once we returned to ohio.ford paid for our 3 extra day stay in a motel while we waited for parts to be found by us and our dealership in ohio since there seemed to be no brake boostersavailable during this time.once we found parts had them shipped to mid ten ford in nashville tn.

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 whichford 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.
During a stop on city street at approximately 15 mph, the antilock braking system engaged on dry pavement for no reason but then lost all braking and ran into rear of a stopped vehicle.
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, thefailures were still evident. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 158,000.
Sometime the truck steering wheel shakes when i step on the brakes to stop and this has been on going from the time that i bought the truck brand new
In may 2015 i experienced a violent shaking in the steering wheel and brake pedal. It was worse when traveling downhill at highway speed on a highway. On june 1 i took it to the dealer with 16757 miles.it was dismissed as poor braking habits that warped the rotors.the tires were rotated and that seemed to help but the shaking was still evident.by 47000 miles and many visits to the dealer they relented and i paid for two parelli tires at cost due to "tire rot".the violent shaking has now ceased; however, there is a shaking in the steering wheel while driving on city streets.i am confident this must be caused by warped rotors.they were warped on the june 1 visit and they remain that way today july 6, 2016.
Master cylinder failed and all the fluid drained out and into the power brake booster leaving me with no brakes. I was driving down the interstate at 70 mph when the warning low brake fluid level came on, luckily i made it home before i lost all braking functions. While diagnosing the problem i could not find the source of the leak so i searched the internet and found more people with the same things happening to trucks just like mine and even some were included in a recall but when searching my vin unfortunately it was not included.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. When the vehicle was started, the brake warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was turned off and restarted; however, the warning indicator reappeared.

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 againsame 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 ???
I recently had my low brake fluid warning come on, didn't think much of it at the time and added some dot4 fluid to my reservoir. Looked things over briefly, the reservoir seemed intact, master cylinder didn't appear wet, no spots on the garage floor, so all was good. After all the truck is 6+ years old, i just figured the time had just come to service the fluid and have the brakes looked at. Two weeks later i hadn't had time to get it to the shop and the warning appeared again. So i checked the reservoir and sure enough it was low again. So this time my investigation was deeper and i found fluid on the bottom of the master cylinder when i wiped my hand under it. The found more below the master cylinder on the shock mount and inner fender well.so i started shopping and checking prices on parts i might need to fix this and happened on this article on today's google, about a recall. So i went to the ntsbweb site and checked my vin #.nope no recall for my vin #.went back to the article and reread it. So it seams that my 2014 with the made in dearborn sticker still in the front window is not part of the recall that describes my problem to the 't' !i certainly believe it does, as do the pro's i've shown.i'm an a&p faa ndt inspector and deal with these very issues in the airline business daily and think there might be an oversight to the number of trucks included in the recall.i plan to go ahead with my repairs because i need it, but hope you will examine your scope of this more closely. Thanks for the service you provide to keep us safe!
While pulling a trailer after 100 mile trip down a major highway, my power steering and brakes stopped working . After taking it to the dealer ive learned the power steering reservoir is inferior, causing cavitation. In other words the fluid over heats and causes pump failure.
Brake did not work and pedal just went to the floor.car was in motion in local mall parking lot.
Complete hydraulic brake failure (front and rear). While the vehicle was in motion, brakes were applied to stop the vehicle, but the brake peddle went completely to the floor without any braking operation. The vehicle had to be stopped with the parking brake. Upon further inspection, the brake fluid reservoir had fluid in it, but brake fluid was leaking out from the region of the master cylinder and booster. This vehicle was recalled for the same, or similar issues, and the recall repairs were performed by ford in 2016, however, this issue occurred after the recall repairs.

Was driving and came to a stop light brake warning light lit on dashand pedal went to the floor. Had to use emergency brake to come to a stop. Very carefully tool back roads home as to not have to use brakes any more than needed. Next morning found master cylinder leaking into brake booster.the f150 has 116,000 miles. If i wasn't driving this could have been a major wreck or serious injuries.
I purchased this truck new in march 2015.i have had it serviced according to manufacturer recommendations every 5,000 miles.both front brake lines have recently burst with no warning, as follows:- on 1 may 2019, when the truck had 105,488 miles on it, i pressed the brake pedal to stop at a city street red light.the pedal sunk to the floor causing the truck to enter the intersection amidst oncoming traffic.there was no warning light or sound before or after the failure.brake fluid gushed onto the ground from the right front brake.a ford service agent diagnosed the cause as a bulge in the right front brake hose where it met the caliper that had burst when i applied the brakes.this incident happened minutes after leaving the said ford service facility at which they had just performed a brake inspection and said all four brakes looked new and the vehicle was in good condition.- on 11 december 2019, when the truck had 113,089 miles on it, while the truck was parked, i put my foot on the brake pedal to start the truck.the brake pedal sank to the floor.again, there was no warning light or sound before or after the failure.i looked under the truck and saw brake fluid gushing out of the front left brake hose.a ford service agent diagnosed the cause as a rupture in the front left brake hose.
Took grandkids to soccer practice and brakes failed.pushed pedal and it went to floor.

2013-2014 brake master cylinder leaking into the brake booster....my 2014 f150 has this same failure with 58k miles on the vehicle.it should be investigated and include this vehicle in the recall.my daughter was driving the vehicle this morning and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when slowing to merge onto a us highway here in dagsboro, delaware 19939.windshield wiper/turn signal switch recall....this 2014 ford f150 has the same symptoms as those that fall under the recall notice whereas the windshield wipers will all of a sudden come on and you cannot get it to turn off.no matter if you are moving or not this can occur sporadically without warning.
I purchased the vehicle and a couple weeks after having it i got a brake warning and it said low brake fluid. I filled the brake fluid up and drove it a few more day and again low brake fluid appeared on the dash. I took the car to the dealer and they could not find a leak. And i drove the truck back home only to put more brake fluid in. I also told the dealer that my brakes don't feel safe when i push on them because they go all the way to the ground. I basically have been told they can't fix a problem they can't find.

Service brakes - i have 29,000 miles and with out warning the low brake fluid light came on and loss of braking while i was sitting still. Went and got 2 bottles of fluid and filled drove 10 miles and all fluid was gone and so was brakes. Took truck to ford and they replaced both the booster and master cylinder with the same oem replacement parts. This is not yet a recall but an investigation so with the same parts installed i am very nervous now to drive the truck until and remedy has been provided.
Low brake fluid light illuminated on the way to work.a few minuted later brake pedal started getting soft.turned around and headed to dealership, brakes getting worse.had to drive in low gear and double pump brakes.got to an autoparts store after 4 miles.master cylinder was empty.bought fluid and refilled.pedal was better, but not normal.drove another six miles to dealership.made it barely with no accident.master cylinder mostly empty on arrival.looked under the vehicle at both stops.no visible leakage.also, when i took the top off the master cylinder to refill (engine running), could hear hissing.there seemed to be a vacuum on the master cylinder.pretty sure that is not the way it supposed to be.i assume a seal failed somewhere and the vacuum assist sucked all the fluid out of the master cylinder.
Breakers completely failed. Break fluid leaks out with no visible leaks.

Power steering fault and service advanstrac message displayed on start up while parked, lost all power steering in truck. I took to local ford dealer, bob bell ford, glen burnie, md 21061. Dealer first diagnosed as bad battery and reprogramming needed. I expressed i had researched and found issues with epas as cause, was assured battery would correct issue. Once home the truck threw the same codes the following morning and had lost of power steering. I took back to dealer that afternoon. Dealer advised they needed to install new electronic steering gear part # el3zbe replaced with part # el3z 3504. Truck is a 2014 ford f150 with about 56k miles on it. I have found that there are numerous complaints (easy google search) about fords epas gear in the f150 and other vehicles, causing an expensive replacement cost for the entire steering gear. To my knowledge there have been recalls on similar if not same part for epas on f150 and others. I would like to request your consideration into investigating fords epas and holding them accountable for a recall and full payment of replacement parts. Total out of pocket expense was over $1700, after their initial diagnosis, replacement of battery, reprogramming, gear replacement and labor. Thank you

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)
Power steering completely went out.i had the same problem with a 2014 ford f150 rental about 9 months ago.
Electronic steering module failed rendering the vehicle unable to streer.
Steering is erratic steering is hard to turn from left to right . After turns truck fails to return to center. Had vehicle at an independent repair shop for service and stated all front end components are good a re flash of the steering rack and pcm was done with no change to the steering.
My son was only traveling straight at a low speed on a side street when he was no longer able to steer his truck. He then applied the brakes to stop. He had to turn off the truck wait a few minutes then turn it back on several times to get home. We checked to see if this major manufacturing defect was covered by warranty or a recall. No warranty of course (2014 f150 with 53,000 miles) the recall for this exact problem was for trucks built between may 26, 2014 and june 19, 2014 and of course my son's was built in october 2014. We are told that it will cost somewhere around $2000 to try to fix this and more than likely it will continue to fail even after being "fixed". Ford knows it's been a problem since they started with it but refuses to fix the problem for everyone. They would rather risk the lives of their customers than correct their issues. I have checked online and found that even after people pay to get this fixed it continues to fail.recall number14v316000recall date06/12/2014componentsteering:electric power assist systemsummaryford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2014 ford f-150 trucks manufactured may 26, 2014 to june 19, 2014, and equipped with electronic power assist steering (epas). The affected vehicles may have an incorrectly installed epas gear motor position sensor magnet that can lead to a total loss of steering control while driving.consequencea loss of steering control while driving increases the risk of a vehicle crash.what owners should doford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the epas steering gear, free of charge. The recall began in july 2014. Note: owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until they have been remedied. Owners may contact ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14s09.
During driving the steering randomly locked up.steering was not just stiff (as would happen with the conventional loss of power steering); the steering felt locked as if the ignition was turned off and the wheel turned to lock in some vehicles.happened while driving through the city and turning corners the first two times, third time was while trying to parallel park.locked up while turning both to the left and to the right.these three occasions happened during a 10 minute period. Unlocked similarly randomly (attempted cranking harder on the wheel, jiggling, power cycling the vehicle; no link to any of these).a few weeks prior to this trip, the steering became suddenly notchy (found hard spots in rotation of wheel that i popped over with more force) while driving ~straight on the highway, returned to normal when driving home.then over the following weeks the wheel stopped returning to center and became stiff all the time and notchy frequently.attempted replacing intermediate steering shaft, thinking u-joints were binding, but did not fix notchy, stiff steering. Diagnosis at mechanic revealed electronic power steering was nonresponsive to electronic communication and not responding to commands when communication was established.replacement of power steering unit fixed problem.
2014 f150 with 61,000 miles intermittently loses power steering.had it at the dealership twice until the condition happened.i was told that the steering shaft is failing and must be replaced (approx. Cost $1900).doing research i found that there was a recall on the 2014 f150 (nhtsa id 14v316000) in which the steering assist was incorrectly assembled and must be replaced. Also, the recall only includes trucks manufactured between may 26 and june 19,i'm told my truck was not manufactured during that time and i am responsible for the repair.
While backing up the truck, the power steering went completely out.there were no previous signs of any trouble.this occurred at 53,000 miles.several codes began to flash on the console such as power steering fault and check traction control, etc.after towing it to the dealership they later called and said the steering gear was bad.in order to replace it, it is necessary to have an alignment also which bring the cost to approx. $1600.if this had happened while driving on the highway i feel most certain i would have either run into someone or wrecked the vehicle.
2014 ford f-150 serious loss of power steering issue, notice going out at certain inclines of highway, checked fuse on batter looks ok, noticed different levels of ac/heat fan speed variations, warning lt.

Truck gave "service advance trac" warning. Only 1 daylater, 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.

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.
Driving down country road when "power assist steering failure" light came on and instantly lost all power steering. Had to limp home and very difficult to maneuver vehicle.

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.
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.
Power steering went out completely . Lucky we didn,t get killed.
The power steering faults while driving and there is no steering
'power steering assist fault ' comes on screen and power steering suddenly goes out happens while in motion or during startup.eventually comes back on after turning vehicle off and on a few times.
Electric power steering fades in and out causing erratic steering. Steering wheel does not return causing the vehicle to continue in the direction of the turn after intended
The electronic power steering is not working correctly, about every quarter turn it binds up for a sort distance. This causes you to both over-steer and under-steer

Electric power steering failure
I was pulling out of a parking structure as i turn right and then try to sraighten into the street my steering wheel was not abel to turn n was making a funny noise as i tried to and almost crashed had to yank the steering wheel hard and was barely abel to turn enough to not hit a car now car is just abel to go straight.from my knowledge it has to do with the electric power steering the trucks come with and looked into it as i was parked as close as i could to the side of the street that the trucks are known for them giving out with no warningn a recall was done on a certain batch i called ford n dey said no my truck has no recalls n read up that the recall number was 14s09 n was happening to alot of those truck models

The service advancetrac and hill descent control fault come up on my dashboard and my power steering does not work. While most vehicles can be driven without power steering but this truck is not drivable without that feature. The lights and blinkers do not work. These faults happened while driving and i almost lost control of my vehicle and crashed.i'm lucky i didn't hit and kill somebody.this is a huge safety issue for which afford already knows about but refuses to fix our truck.
While driving my 2014 f150truck, the power steering suddenly got stiff whenever i turned into a right or left side street or encountered a tight curve in the road.steering in these instances necessitated varying degrees of additional strength to make the turn and then the wheel rarely easily returned to a position to go straight thus resulting in over steering.i was towing my travel trailer through mountainous terrain at the time of the first incident on sept. 23,2019, but the problem continued upon detaching the trailer and under more normal terrain conditions.the truck has 80,600 miles of mostly highway driving.after some research, i am feeling that it is the epas system causing the problem.i bought this truck in early 2015.it was a leftover from 2014.i have also seen that there is a recall (14509/nhtsa recall 14v316) for this year and make, but since the truck sat at the dealer during the recall, i am wondering if the epas recall work was actually done.i have set a service appointment with the dealer on 9/26/2019 (nemer ford queensbury, ny) because i do not feel safe driving the vehicle and my wife will never be able to apply the strength necessary to turn the vehicle when the problem occurs.i fear how many of these vehicles are on the road waiting for really bad fatal accidents to happen. When the recall occurred, many of the affected vehicles were in the hands of dealerships and i am concerned that many were not repaired by those dealerships and the owners were never knowledgeable of the problem until incidents happened.there are many, many reports from owners of this make and model having epas systems.

My truck doesn't want to steer right. It's very hard to steer and sometimes the steering wheel sticks. Heard they are having issues with the electronic steering in these trucks. The vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it's when you are going around a bend. I should not have to pay to get this fixed. This is a major safety issue. It happens everytime i drive.

I have got rid of truck because of it.i have also had a fault in the air bag control module.
The power steering fails without warning. At times it requires 'muscling' the steering to turn or straighten the wheels after a turn. It happens when the vehicle is in motion on city streets, highway and turning. There are a lotof other ford f-150 truck owners having the same problem as reported on different sites. This is a serious safety concern as it causes the driver to potentially lose control of the vehicle b/c it's unpredictable. It's very expensive to have 'fixed' if the service department even knows what to do or the repair fails! there have been recalls on this problem but only in a very limited date range. Also the power steering seems to be failing on other ford vehicles, as even reported to nhtsa. Imagine losing steering while traveling on i-80 (esp in pa) or negotiating a turn. Please investigate!!!!

While pulling a trailer after 100 mile trip down a major highway, my power steering and brakes stopped working . After taking it to the dealer ive learned the power steering reservoir is inferior, causing cavitation. In other words the fluid over heats and causes pump failure.
Warning light appears "service advancetrac", then lost power steering.this happened twice while driving the vehicle.happening intermittently.drove to ford dealership.diagnosis was defective electronic steering gear.ford had recall on this same issue by recall #14s09, but my truck was not included in recall.this is a safety issue and could have caused an awful accident. Obviously the epas steering gear is defective and vehicles with it need to be recalled before someone has a major accident.
Steering wheel turned and key did not.got key to turn and as vehicle was pulled out of parking stall the steering column locked up and would not turn.
Warning light appears "service advancetrac". Once.

Got it towed to a ford dealership.diagnosis was defective electronic steering gear. Ford had recall on this same issue by recall #14s09, but my truck was not included in recall.

Truck down shifts while driving. My pregnant wife and i were driving 70 mph on highway, when truck down shifted to 1st gear and nearly caused us to slide off road in the rain. Ford just recalled 2011-2013 for same problem!they need to recall 2014 as well! my truck was fixed at ford dealership.
The power steering just stop working while driving on the thruway. The repair shop replaced the alternator and it work fine for 4 days. On the 4th day i started the truck and the steering was gone again. Taking it to ford today to find the problem. The 1st time on 8/18/20, 2nd time on8/23/20.
Warning lights came on dash about stability or traction control, no 4x4 lights were showing even though i had it in four wheel drive.within seconds i could not control my truck in the snow and the steering would not allow me to change my course of direction.this truck acted like it was not in four wheel drive. My truck slammed/slid sideways into a curb on the rotary by my home causing $2129.19 damages to tires and rims and front end parts.after i hit the curb the 4x4 light was showing as was the traction control lights and i was able to steer my truck and keeping it from dropping over an embankment.my speed was 15 miles per hour as i came towards the rotary.i contacted ford and received a call back 11/6/14 stating that i needed to go through my insurance and that my insurance company was welcome to subrogate this with ford legal counsel.the woman that called would not answer any question about what this all meant just that i needed to deal with my insurance company over and over.
I was driving down the road, going about 45 mph, i went to switch lanes from the right lane to the left lane, and when suddenly my power steering (power steering assist) went out on my vehicle, as this happened, the steering wheel jerked left, causing me to run off the left side of road, i grabbed the wheel and with all my might fought the steering wheel to go back right, and barely escaped hitting a huge oak tree, the truck was then not able to be driven.when i tried to drive it again, the steering wheel would not let me turn it, it was fighting me and trying to go the opposite direction of whichever way i tired to make it go. If i tried to turn left, if fought me to go right, when i tried to turn right is fought my to stay left. No matter which way i tried to turn it, the power steering assist seemed to disagree. The error on my dash said "power steering assist fault". I started doing research online and found that ford did a recall on my model, and year for a problem with "power steering assist", the same issue that my truck is showing in the error, but ford say my truck was not part of that recall. I also found on some forum websites many other people having the same issue happen to them, and putting them in dangerous situations.
First received advance trac warning, then hill descent warning and thenpower steering failure indication. Power steering failure was sudden and unexpected and almost caused an accident when in motion doing a turn, due to electronic power steering system lock up which prevented the front wheels from turning as much as expected. This is a very dangerous unexpected condition and could have caused a serious accident with injuries or worse if occurred at highway speeds!
The advance track keeps flashing needs servicing has been serviced but shows nothing wrong and the steering has locked up once while sitting still could not turn the wheel and again while driving just came out of a curve all most left the highway when it went to try to straighten up
Traveling at low speed and turning at an intersection, the vehicle lost all power steering resulting in running off the road. No damage to the vehicle or injuries were incurred. The vehicle on had 43,000 miles. I was told by the local dealer that the vehicle was not listed on a recall list but that they had been having a lot of problems with this issue. The steering gear assembly was replaced by the dealer.
Driving down road and lost power steering. Took all my strength to steer truck. Pulled over and discovered also lost turn signal, headlights didn't work. Two messages came up, check traction control and low battery power save mode. Might of been other things not working but didn't check for anything else. Drove it to ford dealer. Again took all my strength to turn steering wheel. Was driving down straight road about 20 mph. Very lucky didn't happen on corner or when wife driving it.
2014 ford f-150 stx 4 door. I bought this truck new and it's been a problem since around 26,000 miles. I reported the issue with ford, took it to the dealer which went for a 30 mile joy ride i guess to tell me the problem couldn't be duplicated. Absolutely enrages me how this type of product can be sold to hardworking individuals knowing that there's an issue that puts lives at risk and still deny the claims. This vehicle has absolutely ruined me from driving and makes me sick every time i drive. There is no rhyme or reason as to which way the truck will go while driving. Driving down a road it travels from one side to another. If you get on the interstate and the wind is blowing you may as well get off and go all backroads or get ready to stroke out before you get to where your going. I don't think anyone understands the stress on a body of traveling on a freeway fighting to keep your vehicle on the road. The car in front of you moves it pushes the truck the opposite way, a car beside you it either pulls you toward them or big trucks nearly blow you off the road like your in a small car.you can never judge how much pressure to put on the wheel when making gradual or sudden turns on a road or highway because it's never the same. One minute you turn the wheel all the around to make a small turn and the next turn you barely touch the wheel and it may send you into the next lane.i was told by ford to drive with one finger on the wheel that the epas notices the slightest movements and that i'm countering what it was designed to do. Absolute bs! i'm glad to see i bought a 40,000$pos and the only thing ford can do is give a smirk when i take it in knowing good and well they have an issue. How you don't have a recall going puzzles me and scary to think how many others are out there with the same problem traveling on highways. Junk
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there was a vibration in the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the power control module sensor needed to be replaced.

When driving this vehicle the steering seems to lock up making a slight adjustment going down the highway will throw you either to the right or to the left if making a turn it will not turn in all of a sudden it will release itself and suddenly throw you into a turns harder than what you wish and if you're not real quick to react you will almost crash this that this is happened several times to us and also to the technician who just drove the vehicle he almost wrecked my truck because of steering locked up on him on a 90-degree turn this is a very much a safety hazard and a safety feature other trucks are the same year have been recalled for this and i believe the recall should be expanded this is a issue that was continuing to happen
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.
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?

Steering started getting tight the week of january 20,2020.it does loosen up slightly once you drive it for a few miles but it is not 100%.it is super hard to turn in the morning or after sitting 8 hours while at work. But i estimate it takes driving it about 6 to 10miles before it get easier. I have 73,000 miles on this truck and according to vin. Date no recall on steering issue.
Starting a month or two ago while driving, the power steering on my ford f150 stopped working leading to an inability to turn without using a lot of strength. The issue appears to be relatively intermittent but frequent. This means sometimes i have the ability to steer normally, but more frequently than not i am muscling the vehicle through turns. The only precedence i can find for this issue is a recall on my same make, model, and year for the electric power steering, but upon talking with ford, my truck was not identified as part of the recall, even though all of the symptoms match. I cannot find any other precedence for the issue, and cannot find any guidance. All i know is that the vehicle is not safe to drive, as there is no telling whether or not i will be able to steer. On carcomplaints.com, it appears that about 70 other people have reported the same issue. Which leads me to believe the issue is very prominent, as i'm sure only a small percentage of people have reported the issue to this site.
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.
I was driving my truck when the "service advancetrac" light came on. The steering became sluggish. The next day, my wife was driving the truck with the children inside, when the power steering assist completely went out, became nearly impossible to steer and made very loud, almost screeching noises when trying to turn the wheel. This resulted in my family nearly crashing in the truck. This was while driving on the paved highway/roadway.

Loss of power steering- in march 2018 this started happening, to date it has happened 4 times. The first time i was pulling out of grocery store, my power steering went out and the " service advance trac" "hill decent control fault" came on my screen, i was in oncoming traffic, second time i was turning into my neighborhood and loss the ability to turn my wheel, 3rd time was getting on the highway and at an onramp, this time i was headed into a highway perpendicular and cars were coming at me 70+ mph. Then my son and i were turning onto a highway when i lost control of steering and locked up my brakes to keep from hitting a semi- they had to lock their brakes up and swerve to keep from hitting us. Then today i got it back, and made it 1 mile down the road before again i was getting on the highway and i could not turn my wheel, an embankment kept me from going perpendicular onto the highway again. Police came and helped me get back over and blocked cars from hitting me . Each time i have taken my truck to matthews ford to be fixed, each time i was told it was fixed, i am not complaining on them as i feel they have genuinely done what they thought would fix it. The staff has been more than accommodating considering i was shaking, crying and cussing. Ford motor company has stated tay cannot help me as my ruck was not in the 2014 f150 recall #14s09. It was just a month shy of it. I have had no return calls from management as promised ( from ford) i was told my case would be expedited due to possible death/injury and i would hear from manager within 24 hours, and that never happened. Please help! attached are all the service reports minus the one today.

Sunroof exploded while driving in the morning at 8am at 65 miles an hour.nothing hit the sunroof, no over passes were anywhere near and nobody in the side of the road.the closes vehicle was more than 500ft away.herd loud explosion like sound scared me to where i jerked the wheel and nothing immediately visible until i slightly opened the sunroof cover and noticed the sunroof was shattered.all windows were up and a/c was up.temperature was in the 70's and sunny.i have no idea why this would shatter but it shattered almost right in the middle.
Truck rear window glass is breaking with no obvious cause.
Pulled the truck out of the garage to warm up. It was about 35 degrees fahrenheit. And when i got out into the cold air, the rear cab window shattered. There was no impact from anything, just simply the change in temperature was enough to shatter the glass.
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.

This morning, i got in my truck and started it. As i was pulling out of my parking space, less then 1 minute with the engine running, i heard a huge pop in my backseat. I look back, the drivers side rear window just shattered. I got out and immediately took pictures, see below, and checked for any impacts and there were none. My window literally shattered on its own. I am taking it to ford this afternoon after work.
My vehicle was remote started warming up for about 10 mins, i got in the car and heard a loud pop, it sounded like a gunshot. There was no one or nothing around my vehicle. I looked back and my rear window was shattered for no reason.
While traveling on the highway we saw looked out the rearview mirror and saw white/gray smoke coming up from between the truck bed and the cab of the truck. We exited the freeway. While exiting the white/gray smoke turned to black then flames shot up. We pulled over and got out as the flames continued to grow. We attempted to put out the fire but it grew very fast. The back glass exploded and the entire cab and front of the vehicle was engulfed. 911 was called. Firefighters arrived and put out the fire. The vehicle and contents were a total loss. The fire department reports states that the fire was caused by a mechanical failure in the engine compartment or under the passenger compartment causing flames to show from the back of the vehicle and causing heavy damage to the front of the vehicle and passenger compartment.
Vehicle was parked in garage and it was approx 40 degrees outsided. Started truck using remote start, when i inserted key into ignition and turned vehicle on to drive there was a loud bang or pop from the rear of cab. I got out of vehicle to look around and found rear sliding window was shattered on the driver's side, with no evidence of anything hitting the glass, obviously since it was in a garage. I then did some research online and found numerous websites with hundreds of people complaining of this same exact issue happening on 2010-2014 f150 trucks. I then drove it to my local ford dealer for reapairs/replacement. They can not explain how or why it happened, agreed that it was obvious nothing struck the window causing it to shatter. They've also informed me ford is not willing to cover this under warranty? i'm not sure how many vehicles have to be affected by this identical issue before a recall or tsb is issued? this is an obvious problem with ford's rear windows and could cause serious harm if shattered while driving, causing an accident, injuring children in back seat, etc.. It's been a week now and i'm still getting the run around from ford.
Back window exploded with no apparent cause after putting defrost on. Shattered on my 2 month old baby. This is a well known and documented issue with these trucks and there needs to be a recall right away not only did he almost get cut but i am out 1000 to replace the whole sliding rear window assembly!!
Turned on rear window defrost and one of the three rear window panes caused a loud pop!the driver side pane had cracks throughout the window!. Vehicle was stationary, and running while i was getting ready to leave my house.
The rear window in my 2014 f150 randomly exploded. This is the second time in a year and a half. The first time is was cold and i activated my rear defrosters. Shortly after, i heard a loud bang and looked back to see my window completely shattered. The second time, it was 83 out and i was driving on local roads. Both ovations the vehicle was traveling under 40 miles per hour
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
I have a notification light on the dash stating that my left rear door is open, when in fact, it is not. There is a faulty wire i believe that is causing this issue. Also, i cannot lock my entire truck with the key fob because of this issue, and i can only do it manually. I feel that this is a safety issue. Also, my front map lights and the rear window defrost does not work. I live in a cold state (indiana) so it would be nice to have these electrical issues taken care of. Just like most people, i have children that are frequently in my truck. Nothing has been hit or damaged in any way. This just started happening for the first time in june 2019. I've told my local ford dealer, but they tell me that since it is not on recall i will have to pay for it out of pocket. I am a disabled veteran, and that's not necessarily the easiest thing for me to do, especially since it is out of warranty. I've though about getting an extended warranty, but how can i be sure that will cover the cost of the repairs? thank you
Wasn't sure which catagory to put this in so i put it in other. While driving i turned on the rear window defrost and after a couple of mins i heard a large bang, thought something hit the truck but didn't see anything. After stopping to pick up my grandson when i went to back-up i noticed the right side rear window had shattered, have no idea why other than maybe the electric defrost did something. Looked for signs of something hitting it but couldn't find anything or any sign that an object hit the window. When i went online to see what it cost to replace i noticed this has been happening on ford trucks so i figured i need to put mine on file also.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that after pressing the auto start button to start the vehicle moments later a loud popping sound was heard. Upon inspection it was discovered that the driver side rear cabin sliding window was shattered. During the incident the weather temperature was 25 degrees. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer currie motors (2052 w. Morthland dr. Valparaiso, indian) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 57,700. The vin was invalid.
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.
Ford f-150 2014 had an electrical issue that caused it to go up in flames as i was driving it down the highway at about 60 miles an hour. I first smelled a burning odor, then i looked in my review mirror and saw smoke, then i started seeing flames in the back passenger corner of my back seats. By this time the truck was very smoky but i was able to safely pull aside to the shoulder of the highway.i made an attempt to open my driver's door, but it wouldn't open and i then broke the glass to open the door from inside out. As i exited my vehicle and walked around the back of the truck i grabbed a towel out the bed of the truck and got on the ground to try and stop the flames at that time i could see a wire burning between the bed and the passenger cab of the truck as it made loud popping noises, then the truck just burst into flames. I called 911 and they called the fire department , they came out on the scene and put the fire out.
I was stopped at a stoplight, heard a loud noise, and looked back and my rear window on my f150 was shattered. I got out, looked and it appears nothing hit the window. No dents on the truck or anything. Just shattered glass

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.
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 request.thank you for your time!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have a 2014 f150 ford truck. The truck had been sitting in the driveway for 3 days. I was outside and heard a loud bang and thunk. I started to look around to find what it was and saw something under the front passenger side of the truck. Looking at it i found what looked like a broken piece of curved rod about 5/8 inch in diameter. Looking further i found it was off the coil over spring which had broke on the passenger side front of the vehicle. This was a clean break with no cracks in the metal and did not look like there had been any reason for it to break. The truck has 44000 miles on it. I think that if this happened while driving that it may have caused an accident. I think that the metal was defective as i have never heard of a coil spring breaking like this with so few miles on a vehicle
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.
Vehicle exhibits a shudder/vibration/shake when starting from a stop. Problem is more apparent with weight on the truck. With approx. 400-500 lbs. Or more problem is most apparent. At 300 miles, the problem became very noticeable. Informed dealer, set appointment. Vehicle had 800 miles at servicing, 2/23/2015. Dealer removed rear driveline and drove the truck with just the front driveline and shudder did not occur. Dealer replaced entire rear driveline and problem persists. After 8 days at the dealer service shop, customer was told the problem is normal, especially with any type of load. 400lb is a load???? what happens when i attach a tow unit to this vehicle? is this safe? after acknowledging a problem and replacing the driveline, dealer now says this is normal and has something to do with the shocks and computer. But rest assured this is normal. Waiting for ford factory representative to investigate.problem is disturbing and one has to wonder what the long term consequences of this shudder is to the vehicle, vehicle driveline, etc.i was told numerous things by people at the dealer;salesperson said it was probably in need of a transmission reflash, shop foreman originally said maybe there was not enough grease on the driveline splines. Now it's the computer and the shocks?i asked the service mgr. Why they replaced the driveline if its a normal situation. He responded that they didn't notice the weight (400-500lbs under the tonneau cover) until after they replaced the driveline.one has to wonder about dealer competency when they apparently know a problems exist with weight on the truck, yet fail to check for weight on the vehicle. Also, is this not some sort of acknowledgement that there is a problem? as of 3/2/2015, the truck is still at the dealer. I've spent less than one week in the truck and over one week in a ram 1500 rental truck. No new car joy here.
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.
Rear window shatters when using rear defrost.
The ford sync 2 with gps that's tied into their 911 accident reporting system.reports my vehicle location in lakes and on non existent roads when on major roads and freeways. I have video and still shots. As a ret firefighter, i can say that people could die if we can't find them in time. Ford knows this and that's a violation of the tread act. There are many class action suits going on now about this defective system which ford has now completely abandoned. My truck was under fords manufactures bumper to bumper warranty and the dealers can't fix them without these new sd cards. Ford sold this truck with the defective sd card and i have a letter from themsaying that ford wants to sell me a new sd card for 175.00 for a fix while claiming that it's from a third party yet they are still profiting for the replacements. Ford knows that thousands of ford and lincoln car and truck owners are having many problems with the sync 2 system and they are ignoring our complaints. My gps and the voice commands have become unstable.and the system is completely unusable. And that's an accident waiting to happen when families can't get help in the event of a serious crash.ford used to supply these sd cards when doing master resets found on their web site but now they don't seem to care as according to one ford dealer they stopped paying for this warranty work because this fix cost too much.
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.
Truck parked in driveway.after the truck was turned off in park and key removed the truck started to roll back causing injury to my wheelchair bound husband, breaking his arm and dragging me 15 feet down the driveway before coming to a stop across the street at the curb
It was about 76 degrees outside and raining. I just finished loading some groceries in the back seat of my truck. I got in my truck started it and turned in the rear defroster because the windows were fogged. I smelled a strong burned plastic odor but thought nothing of it. About 2 minutes later when i pulled into my driveway, i heard aloud pop and it sounded like it had come fromthe back seat.i looked back and saw my back driver's side windowwas completely shattered. I looked around and i was the only person or vehicle around. I had my neighbors check their cameras and it shattered for no reason.
When i turn the cabin fan up there is a humming noise where the higher the fan is turned, the more the dash starts to vibrate. I can be parked or moving.
The truck gets a yellow wrench and quits accelerating. Then it shake and you need to turn it off and on. It's been at the mechanic shop twice this month and did it again. It did it after turning from a stop sign twice today but it has done it onon a straight part of the highway at highway speeds.
Friday, june 12th, 2020, i was parked and heard a loud bang around 12:10 am, turns out my rear window shattered. It was 79 degrees fahrenheit, high humidity, and rear defroster was powered on at 12:00 am, didn't notice the damage until the morning. No impact marks or direct area that started the shatter, it shattered equally at all spots.
The rear window in my 2014 f150 randomly exploded. This is the second time in a year and a half. The first time is was cold and i activated my rear defrosters. Shortly after, i heard a loud bang and looked back to see my window completely shattered. The second time, it was 83 out and i was driving on local roads. Both ovations the vehicle was traveling under 40 miles per hour
Rear slider window is the issue. After starting my truck, while sitting inside i turned on the rear defrost. Within minutes while sitting stationary the driver side rear window pane shattered. Vehicle is under warranty but ford will not cover. This impedes my view of the road and can be very dangerous as it could cause a driver to startle and have an accident.
Spontaneous shattering of rear windshield. This is the second time in which this has happened where the rear window shattered with no cause under the exact same circumstance.. There is no signs of intentional damage or impact. At the time the vehicle was parked, and running with the remote start function. The rear defrost was activated.
Left rear window shattered while sitting in my driveway.it was apx. -10 f outside.other than the cold, there was no other factor to explain why my window shattered.
4 year old truck passenger door and rear driver door locks do not work. You can pull the driver side knob up after you roll the window down which is ludacris in my book i have to small children and if we were happen to get in an accident i would hate to have to bust the window out if it was serious. I could understand if this vehicle was 10 years old and they stopped workin but this is not the case 4 years old ford should replace what ever is wrong...... I have read other complaints about this model year and other ford f150 door issues something needs to be done.... Thanks for your time.
Turned on the rear window defroster on a very cold morning and after about ten minutes while driving, the rear window loudly shattered almost causing an accident

While driving down the interstate at 70 mph. Truck died completely, dash flashed "put into park" my 15 year old son was driving and has sence to put it in neutral instead. He manuvered to the shoulder from the inside lane. The truck interior lights come on, but nothing else. No power to anything when key is inserted. We are lucky we weren't killled. This happened last saturday january, 27 2018. Road conditions were dry and it was around 50 degrees.65,000 miles on truck. 2014 f150 eco- boost 3.5
This morning, i got in my truck and started it. As i was pulling out of my parking space, less then 1 minute with the engine running, i heard a huge pop in my backseat. I look back, the drivers side rear window just shattered. I got out and immediately took pictures, see below, and checked for any impacts and there were none. My window literally shattered on its own. I am taking it to ford this afternoon after work.
Remotely started the truck in 35 degree weather on 22 january 2020 in my driveway.i unlocked my truck and got in to move it and noticed the rear driver's side glass was shattered.i did not notice any visible cause of the damage so surmised it must have been a defect.
My back window shattered do to the defrost over heating the back window.while parked at my office.
When in motion, the vehicle will randomly slip into "limp mode" and slow the vehicle down to approximately 1-2 mph. This has happened at speeds between 15 and 70 mph. This symptom has occurred during city and highway driving, as well as while pulling a trailer. The vehicle can be restarted, and the error will clear; however, the symptom will randomly occur again. The vehicle has been taken to a dealership several times, and the throttle body was replaced in october 2016. Since that date, the symptom has continued to intermittently occur and no solution has been found.
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 problem.my other issue is with ford corporation!i am very frustrated to know that i may have ongoing issues with a "new purchase."
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).
Warped exhaust manifold 2 times now within 6 months. 38k and 44k miles. Exhaust leaks into cab of truck when under loadand makes a loud squeaking noise.
The recirculation/fresh air flap door connection to the actuator broke off and fell into the ac heater blower motor fan. Current results are; 1) no control over air flow whether within the cabin (recirculation versus "fresh" air) and 2) that it makes a terrible noise and vibration as the broken part is within the circular fan.eventual result could be 1) burn-out of the fan motor with possible overheating of the fan motor (electrical fire?), 2) heat problems for passengers 3) failure to defrost windshield under cold conditions.in reading internet postings (forums), this is apparently a common problem with a high cost to have repaired, for a simple broken piece of plastic.
Brake reservoir lost all fluid resulting in brake loss, after traveling 60 miles pulling an rv. On our first trip over the continental divide we stopped for the nite the next morning we had no brakes and found the reservoir completely dry. Called ford roadside assistance and were told it would cost $462 to get the truck to the dealer where i purchased the truck. I refilled the brake reservoir and drove home pulling the rv over the mountains to home. Ford told me that couldn't happen but it did they replaced the master cylinder under warranty and gave me a loaner car.
1) due to a poor design, myself and multiple others users have had issues with faulty / poorly designed coolant hoses. These hoses would randomly disconnect or spill coolant. Currently, my truck is leaking coolant and even after replacing the hose, it is still occurring. See below link to thread: - https://www.f150forum.com/f70/2011-5-0l-coolant-leak-252081/2) it is a common issue for the back window to randomly blow out due to issue with design the heated windows. This could cause a hazard since the driver could be distracted when the window blows out. See below forum issue:- http://fordauthority.com/2017/12/another-ford-f-150-owner-claims-the-rear-window-shattered-despite-no-impact/- https://www.f150forum.com/f38/exploding-rear-window-145329/photos are in the forums.
A coolant leak from the upper hose at the connection the hose is in good cont it appears to be the plastic o ring thats causes it to leak
The vehicle has been having recurring issues with limp mode roughly 5-10 mins after cold start. Wrench lamp lights and vehicle loses all power and has no throttle response.this is becoming a weekly occurring issue.this is extremely dangerous because it could be while at highway speed, in heavy traffic and put the driver and passengers at risk of accident. If vehicle can be safely limped to the shoulder and turned off, vehicle starts back up with no issues after being shut down for a few minutes. Two different ford dealers have inspected and no codes or service messages are stored so unsure of the precise issue.one recommended changing the throttle body ($600 repair) while the other checked tsb 17-0026 and was unable to remedy or repair.
While traveling northbound on hwy 90 by chimneyrock exit my truck suddenly and abruptly downshifted to 1st, 2nd, 1st and 3rd. Had to oull over and started going again. Now it gets stuck in third and is making one of the cylinders misfire.
When accelerating the transmission hesitates and drops to lower gear loses power
After turning on my rear defrost the rear window shattered spraying some glass into the rear seat.the truck was parked. The rear window is a power slider and is not covered under the ford warranty. I have a camper cover shell on my f150 so the rear window is protected from impact.prior to the window breaking i had no indications of issues other than the rear defrost occasionally refusing to turn on.
Driving at 55 mph in cruise control. Touched brake to disengagecruise 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.
Throttle body failure while driving 70 mph on major highway with nowhere to pull over - total loss of acceleration while driving
The fan/blower for the heater/ac will randomly shut off. Then other times if you touch under the passenger side dash it will turn off and on.
On the day of 02/16/2021 i had the remote start on the truck so it will warm up and i have everything preset already for warm heated air and the back glass heater and mirror heaters turned on. When i get into the truck it was warm and oil was brought up to temp so i was ready to head out. When i noticed out of my rear view mirror that the back glass was shattered driver side it is a 3 piece/1 piece glass so it's separated pieces of glass by a divider but can only be replaced by buying the whole piece and kit. I've noticed there have been several other incidents on this vehicle it is a 2014 f-150 super crew 4x4 i'm super upset seeing as the truck i haven't had long and also the fact that ford doesn't wanna own up to their flaw in the glass. I also live out in the country so very unlikely someone did this to my truck my drive way is pretty long so it all makes sense this should be a recall if this would have happened while driving i'm sure the loud pop of the glass shattered would have distracted me enough to have an accident and injure myself or others. Considering my first assumption would be a gun going off and someone is firing at me.
While sitting in my truck waiting for the windows to finnish defrosting, i heard a loud bang. I looked behind me and saw that the back window had shattered. I immediately got out to investigate as it sounded like a gun shot! i live on a military base and violence of this kind is very unlikely. I looked around to see that there was no one around that could have hit or thrown something at my truck. I called the insurance agent and had an appt set for window replacement. When the tech arrived i asked him if he had seen anything like this before, a window just breaking on its own. He said that he sees a fair number of 2014 f150s with this problem, and even thought there was a recall for such. He said the heating element in the rear defrost shorts out and breaks the window. When i called ford they said there was no recall and they have never heard of such a problem. A simple search on the internet shows a plethra of simular complaints not just on 2014 models, but 2015 and 2016 as well. This is dangerous! i could have been driving and had a serious accident as a result of this. Worse even would be if my daughter was sitting back there. I am tired of the money hungry corporations not doing their ethical and moral job of keeping their customers safe, and this will not change unless we hold them accountable. Thank you for the service you provide to americans. I hope to see a recall about this issue.
When i was driving down the road the back window panel shattered for no apparent reason.
I used the remote start to warm up the truck and when i got into the truck to go to work i saw that the rear drivers side window had shattered. I was completely baffled as to how this happened as there are no indications that anything struck the window. I went online and saw that this is a recurring problem with ford f150's. I'm lucky it didn't shatter while i was driving or while my kids or grandkids were in the back seat.this vehicle only has 19,000 miles on it.
Frozen door latch
Back glass shattered all the sudden after auto start and defrost are coming on truck was parked and it was early morning
When i turned on the rear defrost the back window of the truck shattered.on 11-24-20, i warmed up my 2014 ford f150 with the remote start feature.when i put the key in, i turned on the rear defroster while the truck was still in park.the back window driver side pane shattered.i have contacted ford 8 times, but the response is continually the same, "it is the owner's responsibility, not ford."ford has a serious product failure that has been allowed to persist for too long.
Parked in a parking lot in a suburban area but in an isolated part of the lothave a super can with suicide doors, was able to get in the back seat and close all doors.front console was up.there was no exit and i had no communication devise such as a cell phone.after combing the back seat area for about 30 minutes i happened to see the front console lever and was able to get it down and reach front door handle.. It was a 100 degree day and had this not happened at approx 10pm i may have died.i could not reach the manual but there was nothing concerning the doors when i eventually was able to read it.ford complaint was made november 2,2018, was told to contact dealer service department.was told there was no recourse and nothing could be done to rectify issue
Low brake fluid level light came onwhile driving and brake pedal went to floor board.took truck to shop and they said seal leaked on master cylinder and fluid went into booster .had them replace booster and master cylinder
Rear windshield exploded while vehicle in a parked, stationary position. Heard a noise like an acorn hitting the roof and within seconds the rear windshield exploded.
Rear window panel shattered in place due to the defroster overheating. There had been no prior damage to the window, and the window shattered while the car was stationary and idling in the parking lot at my work, only to defrost and warm up. In the attached images, it is evident from the picture inside the vehicle that the window has completely cracked, and from the outside, it is proven that there was no impact of a foreing object that resulted in this.
Was driving and heard a loud pop. Sounded like a gun shot and back glass was shattered . Didn't look like anything hit it.
Driving down the highway at about 65 mph on a flat straightaway, 33 outside, and hear a noise like a gun went off. The rear passengers side window on the driver's side completely shattered.dealer took a picture and ford said something must have hit it due to the large lower hole with a radial pattern. There was nothing inside of the truck and of course the hole was large now due to falling apart with every bump i hit driving it to the dealership.i think ford has a problem with their windows and of course blame it on the customer.
The contact owned a 2014 ford f-150. While trading in the vehicle, the dealer (mark porter ford, 1360 mayhew rd, jackson, oh 45640) informed the contact that the current vehicle was previously involved in a crash. While purchasing the vehicle in june of 2017, the contact asked the dealer if the vehicle had been in a crash and was informed that it had not. The vin was unknown. The contact had not experienced a failure.
My passenger rear window exploded and broke after the rear defroster was activated. The vehicle was being driven on the road when this occurred.
Driver's side rear window explosion after running defroster for 10 mins. Sounded like a gun was discharged inside of vehicle while sitting in driveway very unsafe! had to pay out of pocket as it was a liability to drive with shattered glass and ford would not cover under esp.
After turning on the rear defroster for about 2-3 minutes the rightrear window shattered. (if looking from behind its the far right out of the 3 part window. ) iturned it on and drove on a straight road for 1/4 to 1/2 mile at aprox 35 mph. We heard a loud pop/bang and looked around and found the shattered window. No puncture mark or hole from any object hitting it. Apparently this is a common problem according to reviews and news articles as there is a defect in the defroster over heating. Luckily it stayed in the window so we do not have glass every where but it could fly out every where at any second. This is extremely dangerous, especially if you have a child in the back.
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.
The backup camera works intermittently. When placed in reverse, the backup screen that displays the image from the camera is blank. The vehicle's transmission shifter has to be placed back into park or placed into neutral, then back into reverse for the camera screen to display an image. This occurs when stationary or moving. This problem began just after the purchase of vehicle. Dealership replaced camera, but problem still occurs. Relying on the camera screen to function when needed and not working, created a near miss on hitting a fixed object.
On december 5, 2018, my 2014 ford f-150 fx4 caught fire at the bottom of my driveway.i went out to start my truck to take the garbage to the road for pickup.i put the truck in park and began to unload the garbage from the back of truck. After unloading the last bag, i noticed smoke coming from under the hood, by the time i went to pop the hood smoke and already taken over the cab and a fire had started underneath the passager side dashboard. I rushed to call 911, by the time the fire department arrived the truck was a total loss.the heater stopped working moments before the fire and the fire department ruled it an electrical fire, likely from the heat source.
While sitting stationary with the vehicle running and talking on the phone the windows began fogging up and i turned on the front and rear defrosters. I then drove about 5 minutes and then stopped to make a turn and the rear driver side window shattered and glass fell onto the back seat passenger.
The service advancetrac and hill descent control fault come up on my dashboard and my power steering does not work. While most vehicles can be driven without power steering but this truck is not drivable without that feature. The lights and blinkers do not work. These faults happened while driving and i almost lost control of my vehicle and crashed.i'm lucky i didn't hit and kill somebody.this is a huge safety issue for which afford already knows about but refuses to fix our truck.
The heater/air conditioning fan/blower will randomly stop working causing you to freeze without heat or overheat without the air conditioning. It can be hit or kicked under the glove compartment to getting it going occassionally but not always. Also if you hit a pothole in the road it can also cause it to stop working.
Airbag light has been coming on over the past couple years.i have taken the truck in to ford dealer service centers for multiple visits and have spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to solve.most recently, the truck was at the dealer with the airbag light on and while troubleshooting, the light turned off.as soon as the light was off, there was nothing else that could be done other than returning to the service center if/when the light came back on.i have been told that if the airbag light is on, none of the airbags will deploy.this is a very serious safety concern for a modern vehicle that i have been prudent in trying to remediate but have not been able to resolve the issue.regarding what specifically occurs, when starting the truck either the airbag light will be on or off.if the light is on, it typically remains on and does not shut off regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated.if the light is off, it remains off and does not come on regardless of how long the truck is continuously operated.i have not yet been able to detect a pattern (time of year, weather, amount of time since it was last driven) with when the airbag light comes on.
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.
Truck down shifts while driving. My pregnant wife and i were driving 70 mph on highway, when truck down shifted to 1st gear and nearly caused us to slide off road in the rain. Ford just recalled 2011-2013 for same problem!they need to recall 2014 as well! my truck was fixed at ford dealership.
Rear cab glass drivers side shattered 10 min after remote starting truck. Stationary vehicle. Sat in truck for a few minutes and heard what sounded like gunshot to the roof. Got out and examined roof, no trees or anything around. Found one of the rear glass panels shattered. Rear defrost button would never light up (figured it was broken). Was set to automatically come on when remote starting truck. Temp was between 20-25 f. Rear window defrost button now lights up for the first time. Quick internet search reveals that this exact scenario happens to thousands of others with this truck. A random exploding window due to having a rear defrost on in the winter should not be paid for by the owner.this is a clear defect in the vehicle.
The fuse block overheats and melts at fuse #27.this fuse controls the fuel system.my truck shut off in trafffic at rush hour and it would not restart.ford knows this is an issue and they have not publicly posted the fix for it and they charge for the fix that they know is an issue on their part.why should i pay for a defect on their side?
On several occasions while driving at 50+ mph my truck suddenly downshifts from 6th gear to 1st gear causing the rear wheels to lock up and skid.i have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they refuse to do anything because they can not duplicate the issue.this has happened several times the last time was on the freeway causing me to shoot over 2 lanes of traffic almost causing an accident.the ford dealership and the extended warranty company ameriplus both refuse to help because they both say that they can not duplicate the problem but the vehicle comes up with dtc codes p0731 and p0722
Rear drivers side panel wwindshield shattered . Turned on rear windshield defroster and after a minute or so heard a large bang. Was driving to work. Straight. Temp wa in the low twenties. Got snow and ice in lake county illinois.
My 2014 f-150 platinum edition rear driver side window glass cracked this morning.auto started my truck and the defrost automatically turns on as it's warming up the truck. 5 min later after getting in the truck drove the truck for 10 sec or so and i heard a loud pop! my glass had shattered into the pieces. Did research and seen i'm not the only one who has had this happen to them. The defrost sensor has been causing this to the 09-14 f150 and ford is not doing anything about this.. I called a couple dealerships and asked them about it and they also told me they have had a lot of other people call them about this issue. What is ford going to do about this? i don't really want to pay 1k out of pocket to fix something that's an issue with the manufacturer. If this has happened to anyone else, please put in a complaint so this can get resolved sooner than later! i'm just glad no one was in the back seat when this shattered at it was extremely loud and could've shattered on them! thank you !
Rear drivers side window shattered from defroster.
On january 9, 2018 i used my remote starter to start my truck, which i have set to turn on the front and rear defrosters along with the seat heaters. The truck ran roughly 15 minutes before leaving for work. Upon my arrival (approximately 20 minutes later), i parked, turned off the engine and got out. When i shut the door, i heard what sounded like ice falling off the truck.knowing there wasn't any ice build up, i walked around to see the rear driver side window was shattered and pieces of glass were falling out.
"takata recall"i was letting my truck warm up before a hunting trip that morning, ice on windows so turned on rear defrost, got in truck drove roughly 5miles up the road and rear driver section of glass "exploded" and spider webbed, rear defrost was on atthe time of incident.
Throttle body went out after 40,000 miles. Driving down the road wrench icon pops up and a few seconds later the truck stalls and engine cuts out.take it to ford and that part is not covered under my extended warranty.. Big surprise. Talk to customer service and there is nothing they will do either. So out 600 because ford knowingly sells these vehicles when they know that thousands of people are having the exact same problem.
Put the rear defroster on for about 5 minutes. Started to drive down my road heard a pop sound. Stopped looked in rear, drivers side section of window was shattered (slider). Thank god my grandchildren were not in the back seat.
When remote start was used when it was cold outside the back glass busted. No recall on the truck. Had to file on insurance to have it repaired. We have found that this has happened on a lot of ford f150 year 2010-2015 trucks.
First incident happened yesterday 4/17/21 when driving approximately 25 miles am hour the vehicle would not shift up from first gear,or it into neutral and then back to drive and it worked like normal. Today 4/18/21 i've had two incidents,the first while driving 45 mph the vehicle dropped down to 2nd gear,rapidly slowing. I showed to first gear,put into neutral and back to drive and everything was fine.while driving on the highway at approximately 65-70 mph my truck suddenly downshifted from 6th to 2nd gear,decelerating extremely quickly.i was able to pull over to an exit and put the vehicle into neutral and then back into drive and the transmission resumed like normal. This is extremely concerning that this will happen when driving at highway speeds and the fact this vehicle is my daily driver and i usually have my kids in the vehicle with me. Im very concerned about the safety of driving now especially after learning this exact issue was recalled on the vehicles a year before mine with three same 6 speed transmission,but not on my year.
Traveling down the highway and rear window panel on the driver's side shattered. No impact from any foreign object. This was verified by a safelite representative. Rear window defrost was on at the time.
Back sliding window shattered for no reason. Truck was in driveway warming up
Rear window behind driver's seat shattered.was not in car when it occurred.does not appear to have been from impact.multiple reports online of rear defrost on remote start causing window to shatter (glass retained by safety coating).remote start was being used to warm up vehicle in the morning prior to noticing broken window.temperature was well below zero, single digits.
Pulled the truck out of the garage to warm up. It was about 35 degrees fahrenheit. And when i got out into the cold air, the rear cab window shattered. There was no impact from anything, just simply the change in temperature was enough to shatter the glass.
Door lock on both rear doors get stuck in the lock position. I physically have to take pliers to pry up on the knob to unlock the back doors.
Used the auto start from inside my house. Truck was running for about 4 minutes, when i got in. While still stationary,within a minute i heard a loud pop. Got out and looked around,and noticed the rear driver side glass was shattered. This was at 5:30 am it was 53 degrees f and wet from previous rain
No recall, but have had trouble with the transmission from day one, it jerks does not change gears the way they should, supposedly fix they installed a new transmission pump and still the same, say they cannot duplicate the problem . When on the highway have to slow down and then when you try to accelerate it jerks try to pick up speed
I started my truck this morning with the autostart it ran about 10 minutes i went out got in the truck and started on my way to work about five or six minutes into it mytrip my driver side back windowshattered.there was nothing that came into contact with the window it is a power sliding rear defrost window.i have absolutely no reason as to why this happened other then the rear defrost it was about 35 here this morning with a heavy frost on the ground
Truck rear window glass is breaking with no obvious cause.
Rear driver side window shattered upon auto start 20 degree day-no impact
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.
Throttle control sporadically becomes unresponsive while in motion.vehicle must be stopped , placed in park, and restarted.occurs regardless of speed or driving conditions.p2112 error code
On 25 may18, my 2014 f-150 began completely losing throttle control. While trying to accelerate onto the highway at 55 mph, my truck would shut off with complete loss of throttle response, a wrench icon appeared, check engine light came on and i coasted to the shoulder safely without causing an accident. At complete stop, i had no throttle and a rough engine idle.i restarted the truck and drove home without issue.the following morning i drove the truck 70 miles round trip without incident.the following evening, i lost throttle x2 within .5 miles when i left my house.i drove to the dealership, 3 miles away, and the throttle went out 4 more times without warning creating a serious safety issue when making turns in intersections when i had complete loss of power.the dealership indicated the failure was the electronic throttle body.upon research, i found a class action lawsuit against ford for said issue, however my vin number was not "impacted" but the customer satisfaction program.replacement cost quoted by ford was $373.66 and inspection recommendation of "performing fuel injection and throttle body service."ah, throttle body would service would come under replacement, right?the service department rep agreed "i didn't even think of that."created a case # under the "customer satisfaction program" but made no headway on a known issue.will still cost $200 out of pocketwith extended warranty.not a very satisfied customer - known problem with the throttle control and taking no ownership of issue by ford
While driving on an interstate highway using cruise control, i needed to slow down for an exit. When i applied the brake pedal, the cruise control did not release and i had to apply quite a bit of brake pressure to slow down. I also hit the off button for the cruise control which did not deactivate the cruise control. When i braked, the speed was decreased but the cruise control was still on at the reduced speed. I kept hitting the off button, but the cruise control was still in operation. After doing this for about ten minutes, the cruise control finally deactivated. I used the cruise control later on this trip to test it and it workedas it should. I took the truck to the dealership on 3/6/19 and was told they would check it for a charge and would fix itfor an additional charge; that charge depending on whether it was under warranty. I have an extended warranty to 100,000 miles and the vehicle only has a little over 20,000 miles. I told the service manager that it was a safety issue. He replied that a bald tire was a safety issue also, making the point that they did not intend to treat this as a safety issue where a repair would be done with no charge. He professed ignorance of any vehicles having a problem with the cruise control not deactivating. I showed him an article on the internet where fiat chrysler had several million vehicles recalled with this problem. He still said he had never heard of it. The dealership said they could not find a problem, but if itdid it again, to bring it back.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power. In addition, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The service vehicle soon warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,000.
Throttle body failure while driving 70 mph on major highway with nowhere to pull over - total loss of acceleration while driving
Vehicle would lose all ability to accelerate or use any type of throttle control while driving on highway. Had to continually drift to a shoulder on the highway to turn off vehicle because the throttle body went bad.extremely dangerous, vehicle became inoperable and unsafe to be on any roadway.
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 offagain 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!
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While at a stop sign, the accelerator pedal was depressed and failed to respond. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal required to be depressed violently in order to respond. The contact mentioned that the turbo booster failed to engage. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver side turbo needed to be replaced. In addition, the passenger side turbo o-ring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred weeks later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
Steering wheel switch controls (cruise control, radio, blue tooth functions) become erratic and switch functions become jumbled (ie. Activating the radio volume control switch may change the radio station or increase vehicle speed).problem is intermittent, but did occur during a dealer service visit.the dealer replaced switch pack, but problem still persists.i conducted my own research and found other f150 owners having similar issues.some have been solved with the replacement of the steering column clock spring.with the unpredictability of when this issue presents itself i have resorted to never using the cruise control feature due to the risk of unintended speed changes.while the remaining issues are inconvenient, i would not classify them as dangerous.the clock spring issue appears to be common enough to warrant a more thorough investigation.for those using the cruise control feature are at an increased risk of an inadvertent activation which may lead to an accident and possible death.refer to the following utube link for a demonstration of the issue.

While driving the vehicle and in motion when passing another vehicle the vehicle started to stutter and lose power. The engine icon started flashing. The icon went away shortly after this but this is the second time this has happened.after checking online there are several issues in regards to the 3.5 ecoboost engine doing this.
I was on the highway heading out of town going 70 mph, the speedometer went to zero and the rpm rev up to 4000rpm and felt like a downshift , i had a car and semi passing me. It was a scary moment for. I took it to a well known mechanic and ran a test and told me the lead frame was bad. He informed me that my truck was not under recall because my truck was not at the plant where the lead frame was faulty.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph and attempting to change lanes, the accelerator pedal was depressed and became stuck. The contact stated that the vehicle sped up to 80 mph. The contact was able to slow the vehicle down with the brake pedal.

I purchased this vehicle february 2020 from snyder motors-bozeman, and drove it from approximately 107k to 110k miles with no issues. This vehicle first performed this major safety issue on approximately may 10th, 2020. I was attempting to pass a vehicle on the two-lane montana highway from norris, mt to four corners, mt. I quickly accelerated from 65mph to 80mph and passed them in the left lane during a passable stretch. Just as i had almost finished passing, i noticed the light that indicates my mode of drive (park, neutral, reverse, etc.) flicker very quickly and erratically between the different drive modes. When the light first hit the reverse position, it violently shook the vehicle with me and my two good friends within. I then lost all control of the vehicle's power as if it had shifted itself into neutral. I was then forced to very quickly brake and get back into my lane as i had no power and another vehicle came around a turn in the passing lane and approached towards us. I had to shut the vehicle off briefly to regain control, and then had to get on the highway. The truck then performed the issue again while going up a steep hill despite slowing to 60mph. I have since had the vehicle perform the issue a myriad of times, usually due to hills going 30-40 mph since i've had to avoid highways. Each time, i am sincerely scared for my life and well being. I took it into bozeman ford from 6/22/20 to 6/29/20 after first taking the vehicle to foster's mastertech and having them replicate the issue and agree it is a safety concern. I was able to replicate the issue with a bozeman ford tech and he also agreed that it was a scary experience and stated this to a service rep. Ford replaced the molded lead frame, but to no avail as the truck performed the issue again that day. It is now back with bozeman ford, attached are my documents from the initial service.
Had to repair the "lead molded frame & gasket" ! truck would jump threw gears while moving at any speed. Final draw was when truck dropped to 1st gear while traveling 70 mph on i-64 east nearly causing truck to flip over after screeching tires and running other cars off the road! ford dealership maintenance dept. Told me there were recalls for same problem on f-150's but not for the year 2014 as mine is!.. Please note if it were wet/raining at the time this happened to us, there would have been a severe accident with possible casualties...!!!
Vehicle was stopped at a red light with the operator's foot on the bake, vehicle began to accelerate unintentionally, operator was unable to stop and avoid collision of car in front of truck until the vehicle was placed in park. This prevented a collision from occurring. Incident occurred a second time on 1/22/2015 when vehicle was stopped at intersection. Truck narrowly missed oncoming traffic before transmission was forced by operator into "park". Continuing to apply pressure on the brakes and pumping the brakes were not successful in stopping the acceleration of the vehicle.
First incident happened yesterday 4/17/21 when driving approximately 25 miles am hour the vehicle would not shift up from first gear,or it into neutral and then back to drive and it worked like normal.

Im very concerned about the safety of driving now especially after learning this exact issue was recalled on the vehicles a year before mine with three same 6 speed transmission,but not on my year.
F150 repeatedly lost all acceleration and power.the truck went into a very limited low power state and many near collisions were narrowly avoided as the truck rapidly lost all acceleration and glided to a stop.a red wrench symbol appeared on the driver display stating a "mechanical" issue.this happened 50 plus times on surface streets and 10 plus times while on interstate highways under normal driving conditions. This issue got progressively worse over a two-week period culminating in the throttle body assembly being fully replaced.
2014 ford f-150 xlt crew cab 4 door 5.4 coyote motor... I'll be driving down the road highway city street private road doesn't matter truck will shimmy go to 5th gear and stay there airbag light will come on display will save remove items from passenger seat.... It is done this about 10 times and a two-week time frame i can stop my truck turn it off wait a minute start it back up and it'll do fine for a couple hours sometimes a day and do it all over again
Vehicle shifted from 6th gear to first while driving whiched locked up the rear wheels. This was caused by the lead frame on the transmission. There is a current recall for this issue with ford that stops the year before my vehicle was produced. It has the same trasmission as the earlier model.
Wiper motor, radio/ ignition system, remote locking/ unlocking & cruise control.1st issue: wiper motor will not turn to off, the wipers run intermittently in the off position every 20-30 seconds the wipers will run. Pulled fuse until repairs can be made to switch and/or module.2nd issue: when ignition is turned off & key removed, and the radio is playing or off, a low battery warning message appears: remove ignition key and turn off the radio. The issue will not cure unless truck is vacated & locked. Dealer can't replicate issue no repairs made but still occurs from time to time.3rd issue: power lock/ unlock by remote does not communicate with truck intermittently, replaced both remote batteries still having issues getting truck to unlock/ lock. Dealer can't replicate problem & no repairs are made.4th issue: cruise control will not disengage when pressing brake pedal, have to turn off cruise control from steering column. This issue never returned to date of this complaint, no repairs made. This issue should be a safety concern.with all the issues with truck no warning dash messages or lights.thanks,(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).
2014 f150 ecoboost: while driving ~50mph, the vehicle abruptly downshifted to first gear causing my rear tires to lock up.i was able to control the skip and reduced my speed to pull to the side of the road.at that time, my vehicle would not shift out of first gear.i turned the vehicle off and restarted it to reset any electronic controls and the vehicle was able to drive normal again.similar occurrences have happened intermittently, where the vehicle would not shift out of first after coming to a rest.or the vehicle would remain in 5th gear, if i was already in motion when it acted up and would not shift down even if i came to a rest.from my research, this appears to be similar to the lead frame recall that has been issued for 2011-2013 vehicles.my vehicle was manufactured on 11/13, but appears to be outside of the recall timeframe.
Loss of power and speed. Wrench appears on dashboard. Had to coast to highway shoulder. Engine still running, but very rough. Turned off engine, and restarted. This happened 9 times in 4 days going from salt lake city utah to florida. Very dangerous! took it to local dealer on 7/25/2018. Diagnosed for $89 and determined it was a faulty throttle body. It was replaced for an additional $284. Problem corrected. Ford customer service said my part was not covered by any previous recall or "customer satisfaction program"
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While attempting to accelerate from a stop light, the vehicle jerked and sounded as if it would stall. The vehicle suddenly accelerated and was taken to a local dealer, but no failures could be found. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 14,000.
2014 f150 ecoboost v6 - engine shudders and stalls upon rapid acceleration; issue has been addressed with "deflector shield" but this shield is already in place in my vehicle but the vehicle continues to have this issue - i feel the vehicle is unsafe but ford offers no assistance with resolution of the issue.
Symptoms of failure:on or about 1/25/17 the truck began completely losing throttle control. While trying to accelerate onto the highway or traveling at highway speeds up to 70mph truck would shut off with complete loss of throttle response, a blue wrench icon would appear and the driver would have to try and coast to the shoulder safely without causing an accident. At a complete stop the truck would continue to not have throttle control, to regain throttle control the driver would have to restart the truck. The truck would then drive for a short period of time and lose throttle again several miles down the road. This problem proved to be a very serious safety issue while trying to make turns across lanes of traffic not knowing if the truck would lose power and throttle control in the path of an oncoming vehicle. This issue proved to be equally dangerous while suddenly slowing from highway speeds in heavy traffic with no throttle control and complete loss of power.the truck was delivered to ford autonation of orange park 7700 blanding blvd, jacksonville, fl 32244 on 1/26/17 and left in their care for prognosis.on or about 1/26/17 ford autonation of orange park determined the cause of failure to be the electronic throttle body, the electronic controller had failed inside the throttle body and the unit would need to be replaced. Was quoted $667 and told it was not covered under the powertrain warranty. Called ford customer satisfaction department and started a case (cas-11570094) on 1/26/17 followed up every day, and on 1/30/2017 was contacted by autonation ford to explain that i would be partially covered and would need to pay an out of pocket expense of $250. Needing the truck back i agreed to pay the $250 out of pocket expense while continuing to make and attempt to regain my out of pocket a later date.
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 outof 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!!
Issue occurs whenstarting the truck, putting the truck into drive to leave from where the truck was parked.the truck will sometimes shift into 5th gear as soon as you put it into drive. As you move forward it will not shift down into first, it will stay in 5th gear. If you stop the truck, shift into park, shut the truck off, then restart the truck and put it back into drive it will function properly. It will start out in 1st and then shift as needed depending on the speed you are going. When driving the truck above 40 and then coming to an intersection and slowing down to about 20 miles an hour to make a left hand turn the truck will down shift into 1st gear suddenly (should be running in 3rd gear at this point) and the engine will rev up substantially, once the truck has turned the corner and you step on the gas the truck will then shift back up into the proper gear (3rd gear or so). On occasion when you start the truck and try to drive the truck from a parked position it will act erratic by shifting from 1st to 5th (going less than 5 miles an hour at this point), then down to 3rd even though the truck is only going 5-10 miles an hour. Generally stopping the truck, shutting the truck off and restarting the truck will cause it operate properly.this issue has happened on and off over the past 6 months.
Was driving 70 mph on the interstate in heavy traffic when the wrench light indicator started flashing. The truck throttle became unresponsive and i had to coast to a stop crossing 2 lanes with no acceleration. Very dangerous! had to turn the truck off and restart to gain back acceleration
Sporadically, over the last 6 months (but with more frequency in recent months), at various speeds or with no other common denominator, the truck loses power to the transmission, the speedometer drops to zero, and the wrench light comes on. The only way to keep the truck functioning is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and restart it.most times, this will fix the issue.it's obviously been dangerous in multiple instances. While the truck is a 6-speed, 2014 ford f-150, it was built in november of 2013. Regardless of this, my vin is not part of recall 19v433000 or 19v075000, despite the same issue as the recalls. These additional manufacture dates should be included. I was alarmed to see the numerous claims with the same issue, outside of the recall.ford needs to make additional considerations to that effect.this is our 5th ford between my wife and i, of which 4 were trucks. Considering ford's negligent flaw hasn't been considered for any recall, despite overwhelming evidence from its owners, it will definitely be the last ford purchased by us, our extended family, and any of our business and personal associates to whom we will pass along this concern. It's extremely disappointing.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While the vehicle was at a car wash with the key in the ignition, the contact placed the transmission into neutral, applied the seat belt, depressed the brake pedal, and released the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated without warning into heavy traffic. The contact attempted to apply the brakes as the vehicle crashed into a building. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a collision center for the body damage and was then taken to tom denchel ford country prosser (630 wine country rd, prosser, wa 99350, (877) 221-5696) to be diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the vin and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 45,783.
Driving at 55 mph in cruise control. Touched brake to disengagecruise 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.
Etb. We lost power on are 2014 f 150 eco boost doing 50 plus miles an hour .. Out of no where it started to not accelerate and just shut down . Check engine popped on we managed to move to the side . It started up after two attempts then check engine light came on .it drove to nearest shop to have code checked they said oh its the etb.. That's recalled.so we explored and researching why it's not on recall. We were about a moment away from being slammed into the concrete medium from behind.
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.
I have a 2014 f150 ecoboost and there is a recall from ford for a temporary loss of signal with the output shaft speed sensor however not for my year. I tried to go to ford to have them reflash the pcm like the other years they could not do it i have had my truck go into 1st gear on several occasions while on the freeway at 60+ mph. I have had it stutter in 1st gear and then shift to 5th with the wrench light turning on while trying to pull out into traffic
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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the engine suddenly shut off. After restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally; however, the check engine indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the throttle actuator control system was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 216,000.
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.
The operator called and informed us that the vehicle acted like it wouldn't accelerate.when he stomped down on the pedal the vehicle went full acceleration and stayed there.hitting the brakes didn't help.the cruise control was on but not set.he tried pulling up on the pedal, turning off cruise and killed truck and restarted to max acceleration, killed the engine, restarted and it reset and went to working.we have no codes, inspected throttle body and cleaned, inspected wiring and app operation, other than graph signals were choppy and not fairly smooth (no diagnosis).
The speedometer dropped to zero while traveling 50 mph and the truck downshifted to 1st gear causing the tires to squeal, fishtail, and the rpm's redlined.i was almost rear ended.this has happened several times in the past couple weeks.
3 times within a 2 month periodwhile driving, my truck displayed the wrench symbol in the evic screen and it went into limp mode.(the most recent was 2-28-18) pulled off to the side of the road, shut it down and restarted. Than it worked as nothing happened. Thank god i was not in heavy traffic or towing. This is an accident waiting to happen.
I was driving down the highway when my truck lossed all throttle power. A wrench icon came up on my screen and i had to pull off the highway onto the shoulder. When i stopped the truck was shuddering really bad and wouldn't move. I turned it off and restarted it. The wrench went away and it would move again. I took it to a shop and they told me the electronic throttle body was stuck in the open position. This is the second time i'll be replacing the same part. First time was under warranty this time won't be. But when this part fails it is very dangerous. If it had failed while i was crossing lanes of traffic i could've been in a accident.you lose all throttle control when it sticks.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving 2 mph with the brakes engaged, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal simultaneously. As a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into the preceding vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The contact stated that there was not enough space between the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.updated 02/24/15*lj the consumer stated the dealer advised the vehicle operated as designed.updated 10/7/2015
Friday, june 12th, 2020, i was parked and heard a loud bang around 12:10 am, turns out my rear window shattered. It was 79 degrees fahrenheit, high humidity, and rear defroster was powered on at 12:00 am, didn't notice the damage until the morning. No impact marks or direct area that started the shatter, it shattered equally at all spots.
Remote started my truck saturday morning 2/3/2018 as i live in iowa and it is cold this time of year. After about 10 minutes went out got in the truck turned it on and put it in reverse and started backing out of my driveway. When i heard a loud bang like a gunshot or someone dropping a cinder block on my roof. I got out and looked around to see if something had hit my truck and didn't see anything. I got back in looked out my rear window and the driver side rear window was shattered. You could tell that it wasn't hit because there was no focal point where someone or something would have made contact. The entire thing was shattered.
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.
I used remote start in winter got in truck and when i went to put in gear the rear glass shattered it was a sliding rear window and it was the driver side of it that shattered behind the drivers head there was no visible impact of any kind .. I was stationary.
Rear defroster on power sliding rear window began malfunctioning, working intermittently.suddenly the rear passenger side glass of the power sliding rear window spider web cracked and shattered.defroster was activated at the time.
Rear window broke when rear defrost was activated.
There seems to be a problem with the rear defroster system on all ford f150's from 2011thru 2016. It either just stops working causing a electrical short and possible fire and electrical damage or bodily injury if contacted by a person, or most commonly it will shatter the rear window causing a visual obstruction out the rear while driving. Another issue with this defect is that when the window does shatter, it has been known to create a hole in the glass which could lead again to a person being injured with the broken glass. I did some research on this, and within 20 minutes i have discovered over 200 other customers with the same problem. Unfortunately the dealers nor the customers notify the manufacture of the issue. I don't know how many of these have been replaced by warranty, but it seems that the ford dealers say it is a $700 repair because you have to replace the whole rear window and there for no one wants to take the responsibility of fixing it. This is a serious safety issue due to the risk of possible bodily injury and driving hazard restricting the vision while driving. Please, could you help with resolving this serious issue. Thank you
I was driving on a residential street with the rear defroster on. Snow and low temps were happening at the time. While driving it sounded like a gun shot went off. I checked my mirrors and rear view mirror and that's when i noticed the rear window drivers side was shattered. Thank god no one was sitting there. Upon some internet searching this is a well known event for f-150 and ford still has done nothing about it.
My rear window has spontaneously shattered twice in the last fourty days.i've tied the issue back to the rear window defroster being activated when the remote start is used which creates an extreme temperature differential between the air inside the vehicle versus outside the vehicle.ford does not acknowledge the issue, however it seems to be common issue i have done some research.this occurred on 1/21/2019 and again on 2/27/2019
Rear window (power/sliding/defogging) shattered without impact. This is a known and heavily documented issue in the f150 community, where the rear power sliding window will shatter without any external factors or forces in play. In this case, it happened while vehicle was stationary in driveway, remote start on, and temp outside approx 30 degrees f. No ice, snow, or rain on vehicle.
On the morning of august 10, 2018, i was driving when i heard a loud noise coming from the inside of the truck.when i viewed the damage, the back windshield was shattered from the inside.looking from the outside, there was no visible damage.
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 thestop 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.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact stated that the rear window behind the driver's seat unexpectedly shattered. The vehicle was taken to courtesy ford (3921 w river dr, davenport, ia 52802, (563) 326-4011) where the contact was referred to a local glass repair center for repairs. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,000.
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.
Wipers stay on in slowest intermittent setting, will not turn off! visibility is affected by wipers smearing windshield.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. After the defroster was activated, the rear driver side window exploded. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the pressure was coming from inside. The contact called beach ford at 757-486-2717 and was informed that research would be conducted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 73,000.
2013-2014 brake master cylinder leaking into the brake booster....my 2014 f150 has this same failure with 58k miles on the vehicle.it should be investigated and include this vehicle in the recall.my daughter was driving the vehicle this morning and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when slowing to merge onto a us highway here in dagsboro, delaware 19939.windshield wiper/turn signal switch recall....this 2014 ford f150 has the same symptoms as those that fall under the recall notice whereas the windshield wipers will all of a sudden come on and you cannot get it to turn off.no matter if you are moving or not this can occur sporadically without warning.
I was driving to work around 6:30 am 1/15/2019. I had turned on rear defrost while i was warming up my truck. I heard a loud sound and a burning smell. I didn't notice any damage when i got to work, however it was still prior to sunrise when i got to work. I left work around 510 pm and notice my rear sliding window was cracked entirely, but the glass was still being held in by the window tint. I have researched online and have seen that this is reoccurring problem with this vehicle.it seems that this would warrant a recall campaign.i am making an insurance claim and currently dont have any documentation to submit.
While sitting stationary with the vehicle running and talking on the phone the windows began fogging up and i turned on the front and rear defrosters. I then drove about 5 minutes and then stopped to make a turn and the rear driver side window shattered and glass fell onto the back seat passenger.
It was a cold winter morning. I remote started my truck and had the rear defroster on to clear ice and snow from my rear window and mirrors. I was stationary, i put my truck into drive to pull out and without any type of impact, the driver side glass pane in my rear window shattered.
Remote started 2014 ford f-150. Rear window heater was on due to dew on rear window.outside air temperate was 42 degrees f.truck was running outside for 5 minutes.loaded 2 children up and drove 30 seconds when i heard a loud pop.pulled over and noticed that the rear drive'rs window was completely cracked.small glass particles were noticed.window frame was very hot to the touch and visibility was greatly reduced.this appears to be either a defect of the heating element, controller, or window.
We were driving at 55 mph down highway when suddenly trucks rear end jumped up in the air i coasted to the shouldergot towed to shop to find out the rear end transfer case and transmission had locked up and completly stripped everything teeth were broken on all parts pieces litterally fell out of the rear end while taking it apart put all new parts in truck rear end transfer and transmission only to have it to do again only this time i was going 30 mph so it didnt destroy power train this time only shot to first gear and stayed there limp mode is what they call it and i found a recall on certaian 2013 2014 2015 and 2016 models yet it isnt showing up online here the mechanic said that explained what happened to the first power train how it was gutted from rear end to transmission i was towing a trailer the first time he said that was the only thing that kept me from flipping lucky me so how do i get ford to name this a recall and reimburse my first bill concerned consumer
When i was driving to work today, i noticed in my mirror that my rear drivers side window was shattered. I pulled over to inspect it for vandalism. I saw that it was shattered on the inside. My truck is 6 months old and this is the second time.i bought my truck in july 2014, in sept 2014 my passenger side windshield got a straight crack in the windshield from top to bottom, again, the crack was on the inside, the dealer told me "a stone did it" and they would not honor a repair or replacement! now the rear window. Its an fx4, 3 sliding rear windows. The dealer again told me "a stone must have done it, because they never seen this before"?! really?? i paid $48,000 for this truck and have 750 miles on it and it is costing me hundreds of dollars in repairs already!!! ford has to replace this and make it right or trade my truck in with a brand new 1....
Rear window defroster stopped working. Dash button does not illuminate nor does that button on the touchscreen
The rear window exploded for the second time, in driveway after starting car with remote starter. The first time it happened was in december 2016, when the vehicle was in a relatives driveway heating up, after being started with the remote starter.
While i was in motion driving to work on a cold morning in my neighborhood, (7am @ 5mph) my rear window completely shattered on one of the three pieces that make op the rear window. It has the heating element integrated within the window and i suspect this damage was due to a rapid temperature change. No one was around the vehicle at the time of incident except for myself.
The contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving approximately 40 mph, the rear driver's side window exploded and shattered without warning or an impact occurring. The vehicle was taken to gary yeomans honda (386-492-1703, located at 752 n tomoka farms road, daytona beach, fl 32124) where it was determined that the warranty was expired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The contact was referred to nhtsa. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
The recirculation/fresh air flap door connection to the actuator broke off and fell into the ac heater blower motor fan. Current results are; 1) no control over air flow whether within the cabin (recirculation versus "fresh" air) and 2) that it makes a terrible noise and vibration as the broken part is within the circular fan.eventual result could be 1) burn-out of the fan motor with possible overheating of the fan motor (electrical fire?), 2) heat problems for passengers 3) failure to defrost windshield under cold conditions.in reading internet postings (forums), this is apparently a common problem with a high cost to have repaired, for a simple broken piece of plastic.
I was simply backing out of the parking lot at work, and a loud 'pop' and the rear window shattered.truck had been warming up, and i feel it may have been due to the rear window defrost.when i got out to look, there was no indication of any impact to the windshield.
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.
I was driving on the atlantic city expressway on january 20th and at approximately 3:30 pm, i heard a very loud pop, as if a rock had hit my windshield.i checked and saw nothing, then looked in my rear view mirror and saw that the rear view window on the driver's side had just shattered.it was a clear day with light traffic and i have no idea how this could have happened.i had my soft cover on and it was still on when i arrived at the auto repair shop that wound up replacing the window.the owner of the shop said he hadn't seen anything like it.he called ford to see if they had any information and he was told that my vehicle was out of warranty and they had no recalls.unfortunately i didn't take a picture of it.however, i did search online and saw that other people have reported similar occurrences.i also saw that your organization is interested in receiving reports such as this, so that is why i am submitting it.it definitely surprised me when it happened and i am thankful no other vehicle was nearby as i did swerve initially.i am enclosing the invoice i received from the repair shop.they didn't charge me for anything but the parts.thank you for taking the time to read this!

I have an f150 super crew cab with a power sliding window in the back that is 3 separate pieces of glass.while driving on a highway at about 50 mph with the rear window defrost on, the driver's side rear window suddenly shattered (stayed mostly in tact but spiderwebed throughout).it made a loud bang like the sound of something falling on the roof or a gunshot.there is no visible damage to the outside of the vehicle and it is very aparent that this was an internal failure of either the window or the rear defrost overheating.i am afraid that this could have been a huge safety problem if my daughter had been in the carseat which is directly under it since small pieces of glass did come out.this is a 2014 model with approximately 32,000 miles.there are lots of complaints regarding this exact same issue if you do a web search for f150s ranging from 2010 to 2014.

Rear window shattered when rear defroster is on. Throwing small shards of glass into vehicle.
Before entering the vehicle i used the factory remote start option. Upon entering the vehicle i was preparing to depart from the parking space. Myself and the other occupant of the vehicle heard a loud "bang". Upon looking towards the rear of the vehicle it was noticed that the rear window had shattered. At this point it was still crackling as it had just happened. I then exited the vehicle and inspected the window from the outside of the vehicle and did not find any evidence of impact. Upon further research and investigation this is a common issue. It is from the way the window is made in a plastic housing, when the rear defroster comes on it heats the glass, and the glass has no room for expansion and it causes it to shatter. Outside temperature was 22 degrees f.
Driving down the highway with the rear defrost on trying to clear the back window, driver side rear glass shattered for no reason. I will be replacing the back glass, as i have researched and found no evidence to support a recall from ford at this time.
On tuesday,7/23/2019 with temperatures in the low 80's in the afternoon and high 50's in the morning by 3:30 p.m in my 2014 ford f-150, purchased from texas, currently in kansas, my rear, left, tri-window shattered while parkedat my job location.

Rear window on the drivers side power slider broke after cold morning when i turned on the defroster in the driveway.

I was sitting idle in my ford f-150 truck (engine running) in the drive-through at mcdonalds, not moving, when there was suddenly a loud bang inside the truck (like a gunshot). There was also an electrical burning smell. I looked around and saw that the rear quarter glass on the left side of my rear windshield had shattered. The rear screen heater was on at the time. There was nothing thrown at the truck, and nothing hit it. The glass had totally shattered across but was being held intact by the factory tint. I had to have the glass replaced at a cost of $750, as the repair was not covered under my extended warranty. The individual broken piece of glass cannot be replaced, so the whole rear screen had to be replaced. I disconnected the rear screen heater on my replacement screen to make sure this doesn't happen again. Reading online it sounds as though this is a very common issue, and an expensive fix. Moreover, all of my local ford dealerships had sold out of the rear window and would have taken up to 16 days to order in (and at a cost of $850+ !!), which makes me think this is more common issue than ford is letting on. Luckily i found a local company that would do it a few days later, but again, at a cost of $750 to me for a defective part which should be recalled. During the time i had to use the truck with a shattered rear window, i taped it up to prevent the glass spilling into the truck interior (can be seen in the picture).

Rear defroster was not working, i actually realized it when hitting the rear defrost on/off button by mistake. The service department told me that this is known and common problem with the f -150. I noticed the problem when i was a couple of months and 2000 miles out of warranty. (didn't need rear defrost for many months).i never needed my rear defroster during the summer in michigan. Inoticed this problem even before the first time i needed to use it in the fall. When i took it in the dealer led me to believe that ford would pay for this because it was a known issue. Ford denied that it was a known issue and told me they would only cover part of the repair, leaving me with a $250.00 fee. The rear window defrosters on the f-150 are a safety hazard and can cause the rear window to explode if not replaced. The service team informed me that i was lucky that mine hadn't exploded. I only noticed it because my button on my instrument cluster didn't illuminate when i tied to use the rear window defroster. Ford motor company should be ashamed at the way they are hiding this known issue.

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.

The loud unexpected bang when the mirror hit the window shocked the passenger and caused a neck sprain to the driver. If the window had been open the passenger would have been hit in the face..

Was driving on c-470 when i heard a loud gunshot noise. Did a quick assessment of windshield and vehicle in mirrors. Heard a crackling sound come from the sunroof. Pulled back visor and the sunroof was completely spider cracked. Got home looked at the sunroof from the roof at eye line and noticed a bulge coming from the inside of the vehicle, like too much pressure built up inside the truck and exploded through the sunroof.
When vehicle is in motion and the passenger seat is occupied with an adult passenger who is seated properly and wearing seatbelt the passenger airbag off light occasionally comes on and will stay on for different time frames sometimes minutes or an entire trip before turning itself back on. We have brought the issue to the attention of the dealership on two separate occasions and on both occasions we were told that they tested the system and that it is functioning properly. We have also had a recurring problem with the front driver side tire pressure sensor where the tire was visibly low, and when checked was over 15 lbs low sometimes 20 lbs but the low tire pressure warning never came on. This has happened on several different occasions with the same tire sensor and each time was brought to the attention of the dealership it was purchased through and each time we have been assured that the sensors are working properly. Yet i have had the rear tire on the passenger side be low 5 lbs and the tire pressure sensor informed me that it was low. The tire states 44lbs as the recommendation for maximum inflation, they are the proper tires for the vehicle, and 25 percent would be at least 11 lbs low is my understanding. Yet when i asked if there is a certain loss of pressure that we should be informed by we were told no that some tires might just sense it sooner than other but that they were all working properly. We just wanted to express our concerns as we hope that these systems will function properly if they are needed in an emergency situation.
I had a flat tire and the lug wrench provided from the factory will not go onto the lug nuts. I was on the road side with no way to change the tire.i had to get a ride home to get my own tools and hammer a socket onto the lugnuts to remove them.looking online ford is being sued over swollen lug nutsthe defect being they are two pieces and they corrodeand swell. The lug wrench supplied only strips the outer piece making the lugs nearly impossible to remove.i feel this is a very dangerous fault as tou can be stranded in an unsafe area for hours if you have a flat.
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 request.thank you for your time!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I took my 2014 f-150 in for a standard oil change and tire rotation only to be told at the end of the day that the lug nuts were swollen and that ford could not take them off unless i purchased new lug nuts.furthermore, the ford technician advised not buying lug nuts from ford as they will eventually fail again.ford customer service will not take any action to assist in the manufacturing defect.this is a safety issue as a normal tire iron will not be able to get the current lug nuts off and could leave my family stranded without any options in the event of a flat tire.

While traveling on the highway we saw looked out the rearview mirror and saw white/gray smoke coming up from between the truck bed and the cab of the truck. We exited the freeway. While exiting the white/gray smoke turned to black then flames shot up. We pulled over and got out as the flames continued to grow. We attempted to put out the fire but it grew very fast. The back glass exploded and the entire cab and front of the vehicle was engulfed. 911 was called. Firefighters arrived and put out the fire. The vehicle and contents were a total loss. The fire department reports states that the fire was caused by a mechanical failure in the engine compartment or under the passenger compartment causing flames to show from the back of the vehicle and causing heavy damage to the front of the vehicle and passenger compartment.
When we had our tires rotated all 24 lug nuts had to be replaced because they wereoverly tightthey were chrome covered lug nuts and during removal they were damaged.this is a common issue with the newer trucks.they expand and contract which make them impossible to remove without damaging.they cost 7.59 each and all 24 had to be replaced.each time we have our tires rotated we will have to replace the lug nuts. Due to this issue.we spoke with other repair shops and this is a common issue.
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.
While my truck's brakes were being repaired, the mechanic discovered that the lug nuts on all of the wheels had swollen to a point that i would not have been able to remove them if i had to change a tire.the service consultant told me this is a common problem with this model of ford f150 because the original design is flawed, and the nuts have been redesigned.i had to pay for the new set of lug nuts.i believe this is a safety problem that could leave a driver stranded with a flat tire or use some dangerous alternative method to remove swollen lug nuts causing a safety issue.i also think that ford should have voluntarily replaced the lug nuts. Thank you for the opportunity to register this concern.
My trucks tpms is faulty and not working as required.i have had the ford dealership in frisco, tx look at it several times and they have not provided a repair.the system does not activate or "display" a trouble light until the pressure in a tire goes below 18psi.that is almost flat on a 1/2 ton pickup truck going down the road at 65mph.they tried removing the wheels and replacing them with another 2014 model f-150 and no difference.they just tell me that the system is working correctly.my understanding is that there are two different types of tpms "direct" and "indirect".both are required to notify the driver of an unsafe condition with one or more of the vehicle tires.this was a requirement that was part of the tread act enacted by congress in 2000.the ford dealership has been unsuccessful in repair this safety component in my truck.i reported to bbb auto industry as well but nobody seems to be able to force ford to repair this defect and i am concerned for the safety of my family as well as others on the road driving as well.what can you do??
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.
Own a 2014 f-150 since knew 63000 miles on it now put new tires on it at 50100 miles in february of 2017a 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 accuranceon 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.
