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

2014 FORD F150 ECOBOOST NO POWER. I WAS STOPPED IN CENTER TURN LANE WAITING TO TURN LEFT ACROSS ON COMING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. AFTER IT WAS SAFE TO CROSS I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR I DISCOVERED MY F150 HAD NOT POWER. GAS PEDAL HAD NO RESPONSE. TRUCK WOULD ONLY MOVE AT IDEAL SPEED. VERY CLOSE TO GETTING T-BONED. THE SERVICE WRENCH SHOWED UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE TRUCK HAD A VERY ROUGH IDEAL AS I CREEPED OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER THAT HAD JUST REPAIRED THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAM SHAFT PHASERS THE WEEK PRIOR. DEALER RAN SEVERAL TESTS AND FOUND NO CODES. THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY AFTER CHECKING OASIS AND FOUND MULTIPLE HOTLINE CONTACTS WITH SIMILAR CONCERNS. WHEN PULLING TRUCK INTO SERVICE BAY THE THROTTLE BODY STUCK PARTIALLY CLOSED. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO NOT GET HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME. YOUTUBE VIDEO (2014-11-02 -2013 F150 LIMP MODE) BY MIKE WILES SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY TRUCK. PLEASE HAVE FORD RECALL THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

MY SON AND I PURCHASED A FORD F150 AT THE SAME TIME, AND HE NOW HAS 60K MILES, AND HIS AUTO THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT IN TRAFFIC, AND WAS CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORD CHARGED HIM ABOUT $500 TO REPLACE IT, HE TOLD THEM THIS SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL, FOR THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS , AND THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE. WHERE IN THE WORLD DO THEY COME OFF SAYING THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM TO REPLACE MINE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHILE PASSING ANOTHER CAR. WHAT CAN I DO.

LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID CRASH

MY DOOR LATCH AND STRIKER ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE DOOR RATTLES GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. MY CONCERN IS IT SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM WITH MY FORD FUSION. THE DEALERSHIP IN REQUESTING $535 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. DRIVERS DOOR

OVER THE COURSE OF TWO DAYS THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED GETTING SPONGY AND RAPIDLY PROGRESSED TO "GOING TO THE FLOOR". AT THIS POINT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE, THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE AND THE RESERVOIR LEVEL LOOKS OK.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH STEERING BECAME STIFF AND AFTER TAKING A TURN WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER POSITION. VEHICLE HAS 37,000 MILES. IM SEEING THAT THIS IS A COMMON RECALL ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING GEARS BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS POSES A SEVERE RISK TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER OTHER VEHICLES. IMO

THIS PICKUP TRUCK, OWNED AND OPERATED BY A PUBLIC UTILITY, WAS INVOLVED IN A LOW SPEED FRONT END COLLISION ON A CITY STREET. THE INCIDENT INVOLVED THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE F-150 MAKING ABRUPT CONTACT WITH THE REAR BUMPER AND TAILGATE OF A NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE DRIVER OF EITHER VEHICLE AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED INITIALLY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE COLLISION, THE TRUCK WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED OFF, AND THE 4-WAY FLASHERS WERE TURNED ON. THE KEYS WERE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AND THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION WITH THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. WHILE THE DRIVERS WERE EXCHANGING INFORMATION, APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AFTER THE COLLISION, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK ERUPTED IN FLAMES, WHICH WERE REPORTED TO HAVE STARTED IN THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT SEAT CONSOLE. THE INSIDE OF THE CAB WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, AND THE FIRE SPREAD TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND BED. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED QUICKLY, BUT THE TRUCK SUFFERED SEVERE FIRE DAMAGE.

CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID I'M OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY SERVICE REPAIRS. I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING WITH A TRAILER AND IT QUIT DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TRYING TO FINE A SPOT TO PULL OVER. I WAS IN THE FORT PITT TWO MILE TUNNEL IN PITTSBURGH WHEN THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK. SCREECHING TIRES AND HORNS BLOWING I LIMPED IT OUT OF THE TUNNEL. WHERE I FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OVER. WHAT CAN I DO? FRUSTRATED FORD CUSTOMER.

PLEASE SEE A PORTION OF MY JUN16 MESSAGE THAT I SENT TO FORD CONCERNING A ?DOOR LOCK? PROBLEM WITH BOTH TRUCKS THAT I OWN. BOTH TRUCKS NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS-SIDE READ DOORS. THE JU16 RESPONSE I RECEIVED FROM FORD WAS ESSENTIALLY THAT ?WE DON?T HAVE A RECALL NOTICE IN PLACE YET?. I FIND THAT RESPONSE LACKING A PROPER LEVEL OF CONCERN. I ENDED UP REPAIRING BOTH PROBLEMS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. ========================= JUN15 MESSAGE TO FORD: MY 2013 FORD F150 LARIAT (VIN [XXX]) HAS A REAR RIGHT DOOR THAT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO (I.E; MID-APRIL 2016). MY 2014 FORD F150 LIMITED (VIN [XXX]) NOW HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME DOOR (THIS STARTED ABOUT MID-MAY 2016). MY WIFE HAD A PASSENGER IN HER LARIAT (THE MID-APRIL 2016 POINT WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTED) AND THE PASSENGER COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE TRUCK. IT WAS ONLY UNTIL MY WIFE UNLOADED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MATERIAL FROM THE REAR-LEFT SEAT THAT THE PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE TRUCK. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. REGARDLESS, I WAS ABLE TO FIND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OPEN SOURCE INFORMATION THAT DESCRIBED THIS SYSTEMIC PROBLEM (WHICH OCCURS NOT ONLY ON F150 TRUCKS), THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (BAD WIRING WORKMANSHIP) AND THE CORRECTIVE ACTION (REWORK THE WIRING). WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DOOR LATCH ISSUES? IT APPEARS TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL INJURY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PREVIOUSLY FILES A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS BEING DONE, IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE LEAD FRAME THAT HAS GONE BAD. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RECALL OF THE 2011-2012 F150'S NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 16V248000 AND FORD RECALL CAMPAIGN# 16S19. OUR VEHICLE HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION 6R80 AND WAS BUILT IN THE DEARBORN MICHIGAN PLANT. OUR VEHICLE WAS UNFORTUNATELY OUT OF WARRANTY BY 400 MILES ON THIS ISSUE SO WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FROM 2016 AND I HAVE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH TO SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ALL OVER THE INTERNET COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN THE 2014 F150'S. MAYBE FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE 2014'S FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!!! THIS ISSUE CAUSED OUR VEHICLE AT 55 MPH TO COME TO A SKIDDING HALT ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY!! WE COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!

NHTSA ODI 10983822

ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO A DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 55 MPH. THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR, REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY FORD F150'S. SAW A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME THING BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2011 AND 2012 FORD F150'S. ALL OWNERS FELT THAT THEIR YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL. I FEEL THAT THE 2014 SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY 2014 IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE 2011 AND 2012'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. I ONLY HAVE 60K HIGHWAY MILES ON THIS TRUCK!! BELOW YOU ASK FOR DATES OF THIS HAPPENING. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS IGNORED THIS. I WILL POST THE MOST RECENT DATE THAT IT HAPPENED.

WITH SNOW STICKING TO THE WINDOW, VISIBILITY FOR REVERSING TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES, OBSTACLES AND PEDESTRIANS IS GREATLY REDUCED.
