Since my vehicle has been in warranty I've had intermittent issues where my vehicle loses track of what gear its in and forces downshift to 1st gear. For the most part this only happened when I was going slower speeds. I told my Ford dealer about it but they said there were no recalls for it. On Wednesday while driving at highway speeds my dash lights indicating the transmission position began to flicker then my vehicle downshifted to first gear locking up the tires and screeching me to a near halt.

While driving 60 mph, in heavy rain, flat roadway the vehicle down shifted from 6th gear to 4th and from 6th gear to 3rd several times. The shift to 3rd from 6th was hard and accompanied by a temporary loss of forward momentum. No check engine light came on. All temperature gauges remained within normal range. The tachometer jumped and fell wildly during each of the events. I pulled off the highway at the next exit, turned off the ignition, and waited a few minutes. I restarted the truck and proceeded without additional problems.

NOX SENSOR AND MODULE FAILURE. DID NOT LEAVE US ABANDONED, BUT IF IT WAS 1 WEEK LATER, IT WOULD HAVE LEFT US ON THE HIGHWAY ON A WEEKEND WITH NO WAY TO FIX. RECALLS FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES COVER UP TO 2013, BUT NOT THIS 2014 TRUCK. THIS SENSOR FAILURE SHOULD NOT LEAVE THE TRUCK PRACTICALLY DISABLED. *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 Ford F-350 Super Crew verdict →
