When driving, the truck will down shift or won’t to shift up at all. After turning the vehicle off, it seems to resolve itself after you turn it back on. Unless the orange light to indicate gear won’t appear. Then vehicle won’t start when the gear can’t be indicated, leaving myself or family members stranded. It refuses to start in neutral as well. I took the vehicle to Car x. I have no check engine nor do I have any transmission codes. I was told it may be a pcm to transmission problem and to check for recalls. My vehicle doesn’t show on the recall list but is showing symptoms of a recall listed.

Transmission would downshift unexpectedly causing me to brake and panic, the tool icon will come on dash, speedometer stops working and backup camaras failed, transmission locked up on highway and caused driveshaft to lock back tires. All around dangerous situation

This 2014 pickup was started at about 8:00 AM and the manager went inside the building for a few minutes, (less than 5). A vender that was delivered petroleum product saw that the truck was smoking and on fire in the cab and he told the technicians in the shop who ran out with fire extinguishers to put the fire out. The doors had locked automatically with the keys inside the vehicle. A spare set of keys were acquired shortly and the vehicle was opened with the key. The vehicle was turned off and the hood was popped. a fire extinguisher was deployed while another technician disconnected the battery which then extinguished the fire. The heater motor had melted out of the dash and the dash had started on fire. The dealer was notified and we were told to call Ford and report to our insurance. We are self insured so there is no one to report to. There were no symptoms, problems leading up to this thermal event. The vehicle has 78,000 miles on it and is in great mechanical shape. I have reported it to Ford Motor Company and they gave me a case number [XXX] Pictures INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

It shifts weird but it’s still unsafe

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

1. Aug 2024, shortly after transmission recall was performed. I shifted vehicle from Park to Drive, vehicle was on very slight incline and rolled backwards, as if in Neutral. Shifted vehicle back to Park, then to Drive. Same thing happened again, seemed as if vehicle was in Neutral. Turned vehicle off, waited about 2 minutes, restarted and vehicle shifted appropriately. 2. Oct 2024, speedometer, dashboard information system and navigation not working. I had to use my phone's gps to monitor speed and direction. Once I reached my location and it was safe to turn the vehicle off, I did so and waited about 2 minutes, restarted and all information was active and working correctly. This appears to be another electrical/program issue as with the recent issue of downshifting recall. I had experienced the downshifting issue and I had even taken it to a transmission shop but they could find nothing until the recall from Ford was issued July 1, 2024. Thanks in advance for researching above mentioned issues. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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

This truck has suffered all sorts of issues relating to the lead frame inside of the transmission. This lead frame houses the speed sensor, range sensor ,and temperature sensor. With extensive repairs the issue keeps arising. Ive had 3 new Remanufactured transmissions installed im currently about 6,000 miles into my new transmission with the same issues. Erratic gear changes. Ex. 4th gear to 1st without warning. Loss of 1st,2nd and 6th gears. Becomes stuck in 5th. Just a random array it seems to be with this one almost everytime i cross the 130F degree trans fluid temp the problems start. I have done alot of research into this as i am a technician as well and the only thing i can come up with is bad part production for the sensors and lead frame.

Multiple times now upon entering traffic. My truck will start to take off normally then all of a sudden down shift into 1st gear and not shift out of first until I pull over shut the truck off and restart the truck. Then it seems to drive fine after that.

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.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in a parking lot, the engine cranked; however, the vehicle failed to start. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was due to the fuel pump relay. The vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and determined that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 157,350

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.

THE COMPUTER FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP HAS BLOWN THREE FUSES AND 2 FUEL PUMPS WITHIN 12,000 MILES.

Throttle body failure causes truck to go into 'limp-home' mode, meaning a significant reduction in acceleration occurs without warning. This is extremely dangerous when driving at highway speeds, turning with oncoming traffic, ect. Many times we must pull over and the truck has to be turned off for several minutes, before we can start it again and continue on our journey. $800+ repair cost is what we were quoted today by the local Ford dealership. Ridiculous! This is a known issue with other 2014 Ford models, but not covered under CSP 13N03. Why is that? Many complaints and two class action lawsuits in California that are pending and it seems like NOBODY cares.

I recieved a Text message months after this happened. They knew about it a month prior. I could have saved alot if they had done there job. Nit following procedures. It says in writing. I was coming to a intersection, proceeding to stop, and it would not let me. I was standing on the brake peddle with both feet( I am 275lb, 6'7 ,) I ran into back of van, was Sued, and my insurance went up. I lost not one but 2 raptors to the same issue. The second one I rolled. 2012
