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

HAD TO REPAIR THE "LEAD MOLDED FRAME & GASKET" ! TRUCK WOULD JUMP THREW GEARS WHILE MOVING AT ANY SPEED. FINAL DRAW WAS WHEN TRUCK DROPPED TO 1ST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON I-64 EAST NEARLY CAUSING TRUCK TO FLIP OVER AFTER SCREECHING TIRES AND RUNNING OTHER CARS OFF THE ROAD! FORD DEALERSHIP MAINTENANCE DEPT. TOLD ME THERE WERE RECALLS FOR SAME PROBLEM ON F-150'S BUT NOT FOR THE YEAR 2014 AS MINE IS!.. PLEASE NOTE IF IT WERE WET/RAINING AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED TO US, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT WITH POSSIBLE CASUALTIES...!!!

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.

THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I LEARNED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THERE IS NO WARNING AND IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I LEARNED THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF FORD F150S THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

WAS AT WENDY'S DRIVE THROUGH AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THOUGHT BRAKE FLUID WAS JUST LOW. BY THE TIME I WAS ALMOST HOME MAYBE 2-3 MILES AWAY I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. WHEN TRAVELING AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR AND YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE NO BRAKES IT'S A VERY SCARY SITUATION. I WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK STOPPED BUT WASN'T SURE IF IT ACTUALLY WOULD. PER LOOKING ONLINE OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME MODEL FORD TRUCKS HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME EXACT ISSUE WHERE BRAKE FLUID LEAKS FROM MASTER CYLINDER INTO BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. VERY VERY DANGEROUS FORD SHOULD ISSUE RECALL!

NHTSA ODI 11121295

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH AND COMING TO A RED LIGHT. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS A WARNING CHIME AND THE DASH ILLUMINATED A BRAKE SERVICE WARNING AND A LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING. THERE WERE VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES AND I HAD TO DOWN SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP, JUST IN TIME BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION UNDER A RED LIGHT. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT ALL OF THE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID THAT OUR TRUCK DID NOT MEET THE PROPER DATE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER THE KNOWN RECALL (NHTSA RECALL #16V-345, FORD RECALL #16S24) FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THAT RECALL ENDED ON TRUCKS BUILT UP TO 8/14 AND OUR TRUCK WAS BUILT ON 12/14. WE HAD TO HAVE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH ONLY 22,901 MILES ON OUR TRUCK. THIS WAS A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE (VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES) WITH ZERO WARNING. IF THERE HAD BEEN TRAFFIC OR IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING ANY FASTER, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BRAKE FAILURE. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE EXACT SAME SUB-STANDARD AND DANGEROUS PARTS THAT HAD CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE HAD BEEN ADDRESSED AND THAT REDESIGNED PARTS HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN MY TRUCK. WE FEEL THAT OUR TRUCK NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT WE NEED INFORMATION ON WHAT WAS DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM TO INSURE THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED. RECALL PART ON F150 WITH AN ECO BOOST BUT I HAVE SAME VEHICLE WITH 5.0 ENGINE AND SAME PART FAILED. NEED HELP AS THIS SAFETY PART IS RECALLED ON SOME MODELS.

MY SON WAS ONLY TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT A LOW SPEED ON A SIDE STREET WHEN HE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO STEER HIS TRUCK. HE THEN APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP. HE HAD TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK WAIT A FEW MINUTES THEN TURN IT BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES TO GET HOME. WE CHECKED TO SEE IF THIS MAJOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY OR A RECALL. NO WARRANTY OF COURSE (2014 F150 WITH 53,000 MILES) THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS FOR TRUCKS BUILT BETWEEN MAY 26, 2014 AND JUNE 19, 2014 AND OF COURSE MY SON'S WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER 2014. WE ARE TOLD THAT IT WILL COST SOMEWHERE AROUND $2000 TO TRY TO FIX THIS AND MORE THAN LIKELY IT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL EVEN AFTER BEING "FIXED". FORD KNOWS IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THEY STARTED WITH IT BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE. THEY WOULD RATHER RISK THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THAN CORRECT THEIR ISSUES. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT EVEN AFTER PEOPLE PAY TO GET THIS FIXED IT CONTINUES TO FAIL. RECALL NUMBER 14V316000 RECALL DATE 06/12/2014 COMPONENT STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM SUMMARY FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2014 FORD F-150 TRUCKS MANUFACTURED MAY 26, 2014 TO JUNE 19, 2014, AND EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING (EPAS). THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED EPAS GEAR MOTOR POSITION SENSOR MAGNET THAT CAN LEAD TO A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. CONSEQUENCE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. WHAT OWNERS SHOULD DO FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPAS STEERING GEAR, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN IN JULY 2014. NOTE: OWNERS ARE ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN REMEDIED. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-392-3673. FORD'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 14S09.

TURBO WENT IN THE TRUCK WHICH THEN CAUSE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. MECHANIC SAYS THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, AND TURBOS NEED TO BE REPLACED QUOTING OVER 10K. ALSO, A NEIGHBOR HAD A 2014 F150 DO THE SAME EXACT THING AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY ODD.

ON THE NIGHT OF JULY 12 2018, I TOOK MY WIFE AND MY 3YR OLD TO A STORE IN MY 2014 F150 WITH ONLY 37,300 MILES, EVERYTHING FELT NORMAL ON THE TRUCK WITH NO INDICATIONS OF ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR A MERGING CAR AND MY FOOT WENT CLEAR TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER, AT THE SAME TIME A WARNING CAME ON THE DASH THAT SAID 'BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW'. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED HORRIBLE IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND RUSH HOUR. LUCKILY THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER THIS WAS OVER I CHECKED THE BRAKE CYLINDER AND IT WAS EMPTY, I KNOW IT WAS FULL BUT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF LEAKS, AFTER FILLING IT BACK UP I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AND IN JUST 2 MILES IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN WITH MO BRAKES. THE TECH AT THE FORD DEALER SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT AND THAT THE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER. THIS DIDNT JUST PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER, IT WAS ALSO MY WIFE AND 3YR OLD AND ANY DRIVER AROUND ME. HOW DOES A TRUCK LOOSE SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THE BRAKES AT ONLY 37,000 MILES?
