2014 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

This truck is shutting off, especially when I reach a stop and sometimes become hard to start. I take it three times for recall and they refuse to fix the problem. They also charge me and I am at wrist with this vehicle I did because accidental or death and damage properties. I need an immediate solution because it did last had running me around telling me lies. I cannot drive my vehicle and I cannot pass inspection because of this situation. Let me know what I need to do from here .thank you

While traveling at approx 55mph the transmission suddenly down shifted into a lower gear, tires skidded briefly, and speedometer bounced down to 0mph. Seemed to resolve itself until the following day when the vehicle will not shift out of 1st gear at all and speedometer will not move. After some research, it appears to have the same symptoms as recall 19S07 but my VIN is not included. Would like to get the reprogramming done so the sudden downshift will not happen.

I'm currently experiencing problems with what I believe to be the Electronic Power Steering. As I'm driving it feels as though the power Steering goes in and out as it becomes difficult to turn the Steering wheel. It's currently an intermittent issue. I see Ford had recalls for this on other manufacturers dates and would like to know if my vehicle would be added to the same safety recall?

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, he became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring increased effort to maneuver the vehicle.

We replaced the back up camera on 3/26/20. It was showing blank images and sometimes distorted images. Now the vehicle has 144,236 miles and the same issue is occurring. There are numerous year model recalls for this exact issue, yet the 2014 was not included. This will be the third back up camera. This is dangerous and should be recalled.

Two issues. The first issue arose due to a leak in the "y" pipe under the air box. Upon replacing that connector, the throttle body had to be removed to get room to reinstall. Upon reinstallation of the throttle body, the truck falls into limp mode unexpectedly during normal driving, in traffic. Installed ned throttle body from parts store and still throws the p2112 code.

The transmission slips in first gear when driving under 10 mph, and also slips from 3rd to 4th gears when driving at highway speeds. This is similar to what has happened on the 2011-2013 F150's that were recalled. 2014's should have been included as well. Driving at highway speeds, the transmission downshifted and I was no longer able to accelerate and dangerously but cautiously moved to the slow lane and off the highway. During this time the wrench warning light did come on. I have paid Ford thousands of dollars to fix the issue, but doesn't seem like it got fixed as it's still doing the same thing. I have reported this to multiple ford dealerships since I bought the vehicle in 2015 and not one has been able to fix the issue. this is what they fixed below and still did not fix the issue. AUTO TRANSMISSION HAS P0722, NEEDS A LEADFRAME OT START

Back passenger side small window (one of three across the back, with a sliding center) spontaneously shattered tonight. It’s in the upper 30s and nothing hit it. I had just started the vehicle and began to move when two of my daughters and I heard a loud sound. My daughter said the window shattered. It’s still altogether but is spidered all over. There’s no evidence of anything hitting the window inside or out. Weirdest thing. I looked online and it seems this has happened to a lot of ford truck owners. The speculation is the rear defrost over heating. But I think since I saw so many online that had the same thing happen to them, I wanted to file a complaint. Ford should be replacing these windows. Obviously it’s a manufacture defect. Thanks.

Our 2014 Ford F150 is doing the same back-up camera distortions as the current recall and the Ford dealer says it's our problem. The back-up camera on lots of other Ford models need to be recalled.

Traveling on highway at 60 mph in 6th gear. Car downshifted to 1st gear on its own causing rear wheels to lock and making me lose control. I was able to safely pull over without getting hit. This is the same issue in the recall for 2011-2013 Ford F150’s. The same thing is happening in 2014’s.

Back up camera works intermittently. Has not been inspected, or involved in a accident.

My truck has been exceptional other than normal repairs. But for approx a year, my power steering capability continued to fail - reverting to manual steering. I was unable to secure an appt with my dealer immediately - leadtimes were 4weeks, so I went to Midas where I knew a couple techs. They advised that my serpentine belt was failing and affecting the electronic controls - which includes my steering column and it needed replacement. I note that I was having battery charge issues too and those have gone away. The fix seemed to work. I paid over 800.00 this past April 2024and all was good. The problem began to manifest again, off and on since Late July and I brought the truck back to Midas. They advised that ford has announced a recall #14509 for this condition. I contacted Davidson Ford, Clay NY, my dealer, advised of the issue and had my truck inspected on 9/24/24. Their inspection confirms the defect but they advise that my truck is NOT covered by the recall. This is ludicrous. This completely unfair and the dealership will not assist nor will ford. They of course blamed you which is laughable. I feel my family is at risk, I cannot in good consciousness sell this vehicle and my trade value is destroyed. I am in a financial bind, retired and can’t afford this.

On three occasions over the past two weeks, my truck downshifted abruptly and without warning while traveling at approximately 65 miles per hour. The first time it occurred, it must have shifted into first gear because my body and head were stopped from hitting the steering wheel thanks to the seatbelt. On the second and third time the downshifts were hard, but I suspect they were into second or third gear. On all three occasions the speedometer went to 0 mph then bounced up. The tachometer raced to 5,000 to 6,000 rpm (possibly higher). There was a fourth occurrence that wasn't as bad. I was traveling approximately 60 mph when the transmission shifted down to maybe third or fourth gear, then it shifted up, then back down several times. During this fourth time the speedometer dropped to zero and the tachometer was up and down. A wrench symbol popped up on my information center between the tachometer and the speedometer. The transmission temperature gauge went to the lowest reading. In each of these four cases, I turned my hazard lights on, immediately shifted the transmission into neutral, and coasted to the side of the road. I turned off my truck. Then, I cranked it, and it ran fine afterwards - until the next occurrence a week later, then a few days later, and finally twice in the same day. I have parked the truck since the last occurrence (twice in the same day). Thankfully there were no vehicles immediately behind me in any of these four events. If there had been, it would have resulted in wrecks. There would have been no brake lights to warn drivers behind me. My truck went from approximately 60+ mph down to low gearing without warning. I have not taken my truck to a service center, and I am debating what to do. There are recalls for this exact condition in the same model truck up to 2013. My truck was built in the Dearborn, MI, plant that produced the same problem trucks that were recalled just one year earlier.

[XXX] was driving the 2014 F150 on a multi lane state road in the afternoon on a sunny and dry afternoon. The vehicle was traveling straight with steady traffic at an intense rate of speed (approximately 45-50 mph) when it all of a changed gears and became difficult for the [XXX] to control, causing the vehicle to hit a guard rail. There was no contributing factors to the accident other than the vehicle's malfunction (i.e. no negative weather, road signals, other vehicles, animal or plant obstructions, intersections, driver error, etc.). At the time of the impact, all of the vehicle's airbags deployed and the driver's seatbelt locked in place. There were no personal injuries - only property damage to the outside of the vehicle, the airbags and seatbelt. Thus far, Ford has refused to replace the airbags, seatbelt/repair the vehicle's property damage despite repeated requests. Ford only fixed the software problem associate with the recall and has taken the position that is the only remedy they are required to do.

My vehicle shows a wrench on the dashboard and loses power and will not accelerate. We took it to an auto parts store to have a diagnostic test performed and it shows that the OSS ( Output Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit) fault. In my 2014, this is inside the transmission. After doing research, I found this was recalled in 2009 to 2013 models. Could this be an issue in my 2014?

The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 120,000.

My truck is randomly down shifting on its own at highway speeds sometimes even shifting to reverse and causing the speedometer to not work the truck has around 78000 miles on it and I see there were a lot of trucks recalled for this dangerous problem. When I contacted ford they say mine was not recalled even though it is doing the same thing the other vehicles with the 6r80 transmission is doing.

My truck stalled and died while entering an intersection. I was nearly broadsided by another vehicle. We both could have been KILLED. This is completely UNACCEPTABLE. Ford is well aware issue and has issued a TSB about it to their dealers. It is called a FUSE 27 in the Ford f150’s and it causes IMMEDIATE LOSS of power and potentially control. The power steering and brakes are effected. Someone is or more likely has been killed because of this. Please do your job. Events like this that are KNOWN by the manufacture should be IMMEDIATELY addressed.

Spontaneous downshifting of transmission to first gear has occurred more than once resulting in sudden change in speed, tires screeching, and unsafe driving or difficulty controlling automobile. Fortunately no one was behind me as I would likely have been rear ended. Each time this has happened the motor has been subjected to heavy strain.

When driving on the interstate the truck suddenly downshifted causing the tires to lock up and the vehicle to swerve out of control. There is already a recall for this issue for Lead Frame in 2011-2013 vehicles. The recall needs to be extended to the 2014 model vehicles as well.

Transmission cooler line failed while driving at highway speeds. This resulted in a complete loss of transmission fluid resulting in loss of power and drivability on the highway. Also resulted in trailing cars being covered in transmission fluid, obscuring vision. Vehicle engine and exhaust were covered in transmission fluid and smoking heavily indicating potential for fire. Vehicle was driving perfectly until the cooler line failed at a line juncture. Check four-wheel-drive warning light came on a few minutes before total loss of power occurred. Vehicle was inspected by a dealer who stated that the transmission was ruined due to the loss of fluid.

Rear view camera inverts the image on screen when the camera is on. No warnings.

OBDII code C116A, with ABS dash light on. ABS HCU needs replacing at 53000 miles. Many failures of this unit reported. Part costs $2900. Entire job quoted at $3900.

While driving 50mph the transmission downshifted to 2 gear and the rear end locked up and I slid. I was able to shift to neutral and gain control. This has happened twice at that speed and you can feel a jolt like it’s happening at lower speeds. I believe this is an electrical issue in the transmission as the gear indicator on the dash will flicker between “D” and “2”. I have a video of this that can be shared. I have not called Ford yet but there does appear to be a recall on the 2013 F150 models where there is an issue with the lead frame which sounds very similar to what I’m experiencing. My 2014 has the same transmission 6R80 that’s used in that truck as well. There was no warning when this happens.
