general problems of the 2014 Ford F-150 - part 2

The truck alames into 1st gear while driving sticks in 3rd gear as well as 5th gear no miles are being registered speedometer not working, not registering accurate speed or mileage engine and transmission stop communicating.

Approx. Speed of 50 mph vehicle suddenly dropped into 1st gear resulting in rapid deceleration. Both speedometer and tach were fluctuating and had no direct correlation with actual vehicle motion. Defect was momentary and truck resumed to normal shifting pattern and normal speedometer/tach function.

When starting my truck I am now getting a hill descent control fault and service advancetrac. Also shows a weak battery but the battery is new and has been checked okay. When you get these warnings the power steering becomes inoperable. Also no turn signals work. I’ve not been able to get it into my local Ford service as of this time. If I keep switching it off and recranking the warnings go away and all is well. What I don’t understand is why anyone would build a vehicle that would shut down your steering because of a warning that goes away. I have since read about other people having this happen while actually driving and losing steering and some power. This could be life threatening if your going about 70 miles an hour in the middle of traffic. I don’t understand how it’s legal to build a vehicle with this system.

I was driving my f150 on the road another day and it shut off all of sudden in the middle of the road. I tried to restart it but was not successful. It was rush hour and it was so dangerous sitting in a truck in the middle of the road. Luckily I was not hit by other vehicles.

My transmission had been acting funny earlier in the day. Like not changing gears correctly. Later in the day, driving home from work, it started bucking and and the instrument cluster started going crazy. It started accelerating and I had to hit the brakes. It never threw any codes. A couple days later driving I had no power, and instrument cluster went crazy again. I seen a wrench and finally threw a code. I keep a code reader in my truck, it threw po720. It started driving fine after I turned it off and back on. I went home and read about the Ford f150 lead frame recall and my truck was made at the same plant. However Ford says, I am not covered. I do not understand how they can cover trucks a couple months before mine.

Rear window on left side shattered on its own, believe the rear defrost controller is to be be the issue, or faulty glass.

Tonight I was using my rear defrost on my F-150 and I noticed the glass looked weird. Got out and my worst fear was true the back glass had shattered. I have only owned this truck since April I'm the second owner.

I was driving down the road and vehicle suddenly dropped in to third gear, the speedometer was indicating 0 mph, a wrench was displayed on my center screen and the check engine light came on.

Unable to unlock/lock driver side door with key fob and/or lock switch inside. Action taken at dealership: dealership pulled door pane and found no power at latch connector. Pulled connector out from between door and body, found power wire broken, along with two other broken wires, yellow and other wire chaffed to copper wire inside. Repaired wiring that is hidden and reassembled connector/panel. Possible electrical short inside dust boot, which could cause further damage and/or electrical damage.

Advanced warning track light comes on and turn sigal blinkers dont work and advanced trac dosnt work.

Ok, the first problem would be that there was a fuse, apparently, that was engineered too small and eventually would burn up, making a bad connection, which would. All of a sudden shut your engine off. Mel, I was at highway speed, doing 6570 miles an hour, and all of a sudden my engine just cut right out. No power steering, no nothing. Just shut right off wouldn't exactly call that a safe situation. Poor engineering second issue would be the fact that you have obvious engineering problems with the fact that they're putting carbon based steel parts or studs in the exhaust manifold that are obviously just going to rot away and it costs thousands to have that problem taken care of. Obviously you don't put that type of steel in an aluminum product because it's not going to last. It's everyone. Everyone knows this. So that's about about it. It's enough to **** **** the pope. And I think you would have to say that it's a pretty it's a pretty important safety issue. It doesn't matter to me whether or not you know, it was within a warranty. Or not. It's an obvious engineering issue or they're just they just don't care. It's the cheapest way to go so they don't give a **** they know it won't happen under warranty. So why worry about it? and that's about it, man. Don't count on me. Everybody in afford again.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 40 mph, the power steering failed with the "service advance trac" message displayed on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the brake pedal and the turn signals failed to operate as needed. The contact's husband used excessive force to steer the vehicle back to the residence. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with an electrical failure that could only be repaired by an authorized Ford dealer. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer where he was given an estimate for a diagnostic test. The contact was also given an estimate for the repair. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 14v316000 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact was provided a case number. The vehicle was towed back to her residence and was not repaired. The failure mileage was 185,516.

On two separate occasions while driving at normal operating speed (30-40 mph) the yellow wrench icon appeared (which I researched and found it deals with the throttle body) and I lost my speedometer, odometer, distance to empty, airbag light illuminated, and vehicle had little to no acceleration. I believe it might have something to do with the lead frame on the transmission.

I bought this truck 2 and a half years ago and from day one it has been nothing but trouble. I was sold a lemon I have spend god knows how much on this truck and now it sits in the yard with a cracked turbo, electrical issues and transmission problems that I've been told has been a problem along time and I'd have to agree. Within the first 3 months of owning the truck it was in the shop 3 or 4 times. I had all kinds of warranty's added to my loan that I wasn't aware of and I've tried having the issue handled but Ford dealership will not tdo anything about it. I still over over 20,000 dollars on this truck I don't know if you can help but if you can I'd greatly appreciate it. I've had numerous sensors replaced, cv joints replaced, a arms replaced, wheel bearings, catalytic converters, ball joints, brake calipers, brake lines, struts, purge valve, engine mount, fuel pump twice, and I'm sure there's more alot of this was in the first not even year.

2014 F-150 engine shuts off, abruptly while driving. Burned f27 fuel pump fuse in fuse box. Ford states VIN [xxx] is not covered by TSB 15-0137. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Truck turn over no start. Ford forum fuse 27 issue. My fuse 27 melted, replaced and truck started. TSB 15-137. Fuse 27 relocation kit. Forum stated dealer install is $400. This should be a recall.

On 12-26-21 tried to start truck, it cranked but did not start. Called for a tow to the dealer. While waiting on tow I looked up fuse information to the fuel pump. After locating fuse that controls power to fuel pump relay I pulled fuse and it was burnt on one side of the prong. I called off tow and got home and did some research for this problem seems 09 thru 14 this particular 20amp fuse is being over heated. I also found a service bulletin 15-0137 on a Ford site, and its stating that a ( fuel pump fuse relocation kit ) in which I have to pay $270 for. I believe this is fire hazard and a safety because if this fuse is blown while driving it will shut down the vehicle. I have watched several video's on this issue and believe it should be recalled do to the nature of the problem. There was also no warning nor any warning lamp on the dash to show an issue. Made an apointment to the Ford dealer for 12-27-2021 to have this relocation kit put on before there is a fire from this overheating of this fuse in the fuse compartment.

Back power and heated glass shattering as I turned on rear defrost with child in the back seat!!.

Driving down the interstate at around 70 mph all of the lights went out and the veh shut down after about a min or so I started the veh with out any problem. The battery light went on I drove about tem more miles. I shut the veh off got gas pulled out of the gas station and the lights went out and the engine shut off. I pulled over restarted the engine the battery light was still on but it started with out any problem and drove home.

I was driving at 45 mph and suddenly, the truck downshifted into low gear and slowed immediately down to about 5 mph. A vehicle following me nearly rear ended me. On more occasions, trying to get off the highway, the trucks motor overreved, then slammed into gear as if it was trying to shift, but couldn’t. I immediately called Ford corporate and was told to take it to a dealership. I did this and was told it would be 6 weeks before they can get me in the shop, and that was if that part could be found. I have seen a recall for 2011-2013 f150’s, but Ford told me that 2014 was not included. This is very dangerous for anyone to have this happen to, luckily, I have many years of experience driving combination vehicles. If I had been towing my 36’ camper or if this happened to an inexperienced driver, it could have been disastrous. I have since taken it to a small, experienced transmission shop and was told that this is very, very common. Even on 2014 and up. Any 6r80 transmission in a Ford. Please take a look at this and update these model years for everyone’s safety.

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.

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.

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!.

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.

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.

Backup camera only works intermittently. Most of the time the display just says "rear camera unavailable," sometimes just a blue screen, and occasionally will display the image briefly, then go bluescreen/camera unavailable. Turning ignition off, then restarting may reset camera and briefly display the image, then bluescreen/unavailable again.

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.

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.

#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.

Tl 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.

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 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.

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 flaw 2. 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.

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!.
