What 1,362 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Ford F-150 Supercab Diesel

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 NTSB WEB 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!

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.

WARNING LIGHT APPEARS "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". ONCE. THEN WEEKS LATER LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. AS A STRONG MAN HAD TO PRACTICALLY USE ALL MY BODY WEIGHT TO AVOID COLLISION WHILE ALMOST STANDING. 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. 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. THE COST WAS $2583 FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 38897 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I STARTED MY TRUCK WITH AUTOMATIC START SO THAT IT COULD WARM UP. WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE I WENT OUTSIDE, GOT INTO TRUCK AND PUT THE KEYS IN. I WAS ABOUT TO BACK UP WHEN I NOTICED MY BACK WINDOW HAD FOG ON IT SO I TRIED TO TURN ON THE REAR DEFOGGER. THE LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON SAYING THAT IT WAS ON SO I PUSHED THE BUTTON A FEW MORE TIMES. THE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I WAS ABOUT TO BACK MY TRUCK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD BANG AND MY SON, WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT FACING FORWARD WITH HIS SEATBELT ON, SAID THE BACK WINDOW IS CRACKING. IT WAS THE REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I GOT OUT TO LOOK AND NOTHING HAD HIT THE BACK WINDOW, IT JUST BROKE ON ITS OWN. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS A FAILURE TO THE REAR DEFOGGER OR THE WINDOW

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.
