MY 2014 F-150 PLATINUM EDITION REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GLASS CRACKED THIS MORNING. AUTO STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE DEFROST AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON AS IT'S WARMING UP THE TRUCK. 5 MIN LATER AFTER GETTING IN THE TRUCK DROVE THE TRUCK FOR 10 SEC OR SO AND I HEARD A LOUD POP! MY GLASS HAD SHATTERED INTO THE PIECES. DID RESEARCH AND SEEN I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. THE DEFROST SENSOR HAS BEEN CAUSING THIS TO THE 09-14 F150 AND FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.. I CALLED A COUPLE DEALERSHIPS AND ASKED THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE CALL THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WHAT IS FORD GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? I DON'T REALLY WANT TO PAY 1K OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING THAT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE, PLEASE PUT IN A COMPLAINT SO THIS CAN GET RESOLVED SOONER THAN LATER! I'M JUST GLAD NO ONE WAS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THIS SHATTERED AT IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND COULD'VE SHATTERED ON THEM! THANK YOU !

THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THIS HAPPENED ON A BACK ROAD BUT IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON A TWO LANE ROAD WHILE PASSING IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. A TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN THE TROUBLE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE TRUCK WOULD DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CODE WAS NOT HELD IN THE MEMORY SO THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT CHANGE IT UNDER WARRANTY. I KNOW OF ONE OTHER PERSON WITH THE SAME YEAR AND POWER TRAIN THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER MASTER CYLINDER IN MAY OF 2016. WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED IN DEC 2017. THE MILEAGE WAS 35774 WHEN THE RECALL WAS DONE. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AND NOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS OUT AGAIN. WE REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT THE BOOSTER STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND HAD TO BE PUMPED TO HAVE BRAKES. I THINK THEY REPLACED IT WITH YET ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEABLE.

STARTING A MONTH OR TWO AGO WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING ON MY FORD F150 STOPPED WORKING LEADING TO AN INABILITY TO TURN WITHOUT USING A LOT OF STRENGTH. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RELATIVELY INTERMITTENT BUT FREQUENT. THIS MEANS SOMETIMES I HAVE THE ABILITY TO STEER NORMALLY, BUT MORE FREQUENTLY THAN NOT I AM MUSCLING THE VEHICLE THROUGH TURNS. THE ONLY PRECEDENCE I CAN FIND FOR THIS ISSUE IS A RECALL ON MY SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, BUT UPON TALKING WITH FORD, MY TRUCK WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS MATCH. I CANNOT FIND ANY OTHER PRECEDENCE FOR THE ISSUE, AND CANNOT FIND ANY GUIDANCE. ALL I KNOW IS THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AS THERE IS NO TELLING WHETHER OR NOT I WILL BE ABLE TO STEER. ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, IT APPEARS THAT ABOUT 70 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS VERY PROMINENT, AS I'M SURE ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THIS SITE.

HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2014 F150 TRUCK AND WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT; BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO FLOOR. WHEN HE GOT HOME, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT COMPARTMENT. CONFIRMED WITH FORD THAT OUR TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL 16S24, BUT WAS BUILT IN THE DEARBORN PLANT DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME AS THE TRUCKS THAT WERE RECALLED AND THERE IS STILL A WIDE SCOPE OF VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. TRUCK VIN IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WE SAW LOOKED OUT THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW WHITE/GRAY SMOKE COMING UP FROM BETWEEN THE TRUCK BED AND THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. WE EXITED THE FREEWAY. WHILE EXITING THE WHITE/GRAY SMOKE TURNED TO BLACK THEN FLAMES SHOT UP. WE PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AS THE FLAMES CONTINUED TO GROW. WE ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT IT GREW VERY FAST. THE BACK GLASS EXPLODED AND THE ENTIRE CAB AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED. 911 WAS CALLED. FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE AND CONTENTS WERE A TOTAL LOSS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORTS STATES THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR UNDER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CAUSING FLAMES TO SHOW FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

I REMOTELY STARTED MY TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I ENTERED THE TRUCK TO DRIVE AND GOT A WARNING LIGHT THAT SAID 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I CANNOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I CANNOT STEER THE TRUCK IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENED ONE DAY AFTER MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE BUT IT CORRECTED ITSELF AND SHE COULD DRIVE THE TRUCK. THE STEERING WHEEL IS FROZEN AND THE TRUCK IS NOT MANEUVERABLE AT ALL. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT DRIVING FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
