general problems of the 2014 Ford F-150 - part 1

Crank but no start. Found fuse 27 melted. This fuse supplies power to the fuel pump relay which gives the fuel pump power to run. The melted fuse had lost its connectivity. The fuse is a 20 amp. The fuse was not blown. Unable to determine the cause of the heat to melt the fuse. I searched youtube and found that this is a common problem with the f150 with the range of 2010 to 2014. Also found that several parts dealers offer a f27 fuse relocation kit as a work around for the problem. The incident happened at home where I was able to research the problem. What if I got stranded in the middle of nowhere, no cell service, and 25 below zero? worse yet, could this hot spot start a fire under the hood? why there has not been a recall on this fuse is beyond reasoning tthat the repair is more costly than a life!.

First occurrence with my F-150 stx driving home from work. Started my truck and got a block and a half away and the truck stopped accelerating and completely shut off. All the lights and engine was off. I drifted to the side of the road to avoid traffic causing a traffic pile up and confusion. Being overwhelmed I waited for about 20 minutes then started it and drove home. No lights or check engine lamps on. Having a couple days of normal driving and normal function. I drove again but this time I was going into the freeway halfway up the onramp the truck dies again! this time making it completely unsafe and potentially fatal. I drifted as far as I could to the side as I was going up hill onto the freeway. More cars and extremely different speeds made this moment very concerning . Upon delivery to the dealership and having them offer expensive fuel pump replacements and flushes. I could only afford the $600 fuel pump wake up and having no information about any defects or recalls. I feel like a guinea pig to ideas of half ass fixes.

It shifts weird but it’s still unsafe.

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.

Reference tracking # 11622306. I purchased my used f150 with 52,956 miles on 1/3/2020. Shortly after, I would occasionally notice an unusual gear downshift. Upon receiving Ford recall 24s37 (NHTSA 24v444000) update for the powertrain control module, the check engine lite (cel) came on. I called the Ford recall ph#, and they told me to continue to work with the dealership that performed the update. Several times I returned to the dealership, they would reset it with diagnostics, yet repeatedly the p0299 code would return each time. Prior to the cel coming on, the cel was preceded by a stall on acceleration on small hill inclines, and worsened fuel mileage, and typically after towing my trailer. These things didn't occur before the update was installed. (attachments).

Throttle body has failed 3 times. I am on my 4th one. 1st at 28k, 2nd 59k, 3rd 100k. Engine completely shuts down at high speed. Extremely dangerous, especially when towing. No warning given. Just stops running . Wrench icon appears on dash. Then engine shuts down immediately.

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.

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.

Critical failure of the 6r80 transmission oil cooler lines causing rapid loss of control of speed and drivability.

Vehicle will go into limp mode as if the throttle body is not working properly. I have to coast to the side of the road ,turn off engine and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes before restarting.

This has happened twice now. Driving to work accelerating after a red light and the truck losses all power, but stays running. To get it to operate normal you have to pull over shift into park, turn the truck off and wait a couple of moments. The truck will retire and drive like nothing happened. Trick has 78k miles and always maintained at local Ford dealer.

Vehicle got stuck in the snow. Tried getting vehicle out and almost had it free when I noticed the temperature gauge rising. I then shut the vehicle down and was calling for help for 10 minutes then noticed a flame come out of the engine bay. Yelled for my family to get out. Me and my wife rushed to get our kids out of the vehicle and down the road. The cab and engine bay are gone. I don’t know what caused the fire but it needs to be figured out my family was endangered.

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.

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.

When driving, twice power has cut out with the vehicle without warning. I was also unable to start the vehicle on one occasion - it cranked but did not fire. Traced the problem to a melted #27 fuse in the engine bay, which is a known issue with these vehicles apparently.

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 wasn’t stored in the computer.

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!.

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.

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 an RV 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.

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.

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 about 5,000 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.

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 miles while 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 contacted Ford 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 the stop 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.

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.

Throttle body failure while driving 70 mph on major highway with nowhere to pull over - total loss of acceleration while driving.

Tl 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.

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 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.
