My 2014 F-150 with the 5.0 is currently at the ford dealership getting the output speed sensor replaced in the transmission. This is already a recall item on the vehicle, however it is not showing up as a recall fix. This will send your truck into “limp mode” causing you to have to pull over in unsafe spots on the road in order to shut the vehicle off. And back on to get the truck to drive correctly. I am now responsible for paying for this replacement, when it’s clearly a manufactured error

I had the factory recall done at a local dealership. The ensured me the programming was completed to solve the down shifting of gears while driving. It’s been a couple years since the reprogramming and I still have problems with the truck downshifting at different speeds. It also indicates the wrench on the screen and makes all the gauges including the screen, stop working. During acceleration, if you are merging and need extra speed, the truck stops accelerating and slows down. The only way to reset the wrench on the screen is to stop the vehicle immediately and shut it off until the mileage indicator shows the mileage the vehicle has. Several posts online indicate the same issues for those who own the F150. Driving on the freeway at freeway speeds the truck shifted into first gear while traveling at 75 mph. The tires skidded and the truck jerked hard when it happened. It startled myself and my kids who were in the truck.

When driving, the truck will down shift or won’t to shift up at all. After turning the vehicle off, it seems to resolve itself after you turn it back on. Unless the orange light to indicate gear won’t appear. Then vehicle won’t start when the gear can’t be indicated, leaving myself or family members stranded. It refuses to start in neutral as well. I took the vehicle to Car x. I have no check engine nor do I have any transmission codes. I was told it may be a pcm to transmission problem and to check for recalls. My vehicle doesn’t show on the recall list but is showing symptoms of a recall listed.

While driving, the truck suddenly shifted into 3rd gear. I stopped the vehicle, put it into park, shut the engine off, restarted the truck, put it back into drive and it immediately went into 3rd gear. I was unable to get the transmission to work properly so I had it towed to the dealership where I bought it.

My 2014 f150 xlt Ecoboost 4x,4 was experiencing symptoms directly related to Recall 24S37 / 24V444 (erratic/harsh shifting while on the highway). P0606, P0607 (PCM Processor Faults) P0706, P0707 (Transmission Range Sensor issues) P1702-00 (TRS Circuit Intermittent) P1921-00 (Transmission Range Signal issues) This was following the software update in the last recall. Plus the truck would not start despite a brand new battery. I purchased a new lead frame and was told by Ford to take it to Conklin Automotive in Newton Ks so I had it towed Jan 7th. My truck is still there. They replaced the lead frame but released it to me without a diagnosis, without replacing transmission fluid due to a stripped dipstick they were unable to remove, without trying the many options for removal or refilling it and without checking to see if the lead frame fixed the main issue. I had said from the beginning they needed to check the neutral safety switch and fuses. Finally by end of Jan he checked and found a corroded fuse and the truck started but because of refusal to refill the fluid they didn't check the lead frame. So I have had to rent cars for a month resulting in financial distress and return the truck to a different shop to be fixed. Ford refuses to honor the recall even tho it was extended to my year and model of truck, and refuses to help because Conklin, where they told me to go, is not an authorized dealership. I've attached all the correspondence with them and Ford.

When driving 2014 Ford F-150 STX crew cab 4 door 4wd in either 2WD or 4WD at cruising speed on highway 55 mph to 65 mph either in cruise control or not with gas pedal steady the vehicle randomly drops from 6th gear to 3rd gear. I had the local Ford Dealer already perform the software update from the recall but it did not resolve the issue. After a few months of driving with this problem continuing I left the vehicle with the Ford Dealer to see if they could reproduce the problem. They claimed they never could reproduce the problem and that the vehicle never generated any fault codes.

My 2014 Ford F150 has a safety recall 24s37 due to the transmission violently down shifting the truck had the reprogram done in 24 that supposively would fix the issue now the truck has code p0720 and is violently downshifting on interstate almost causing accidents and need the ledframe replaced attached to this safety recall and known issue. F0rd told me since it had reprogram done even though part is failing they can't fix the issue. That is insane since it's a huge safety issue and the reprogram was definitely not a long term fix it needs to be fixed before this causes me to have a accident. This is my only means of vehicle and needs to be fixed right .

I need to open a safety case. My 2014 Ford F-150 had recall 24S37 performed. Immediately after the recall, the steering locked, the truck stopped itself while still in Drive, and a blue oil pressure warning light appeared. The vehicle is unsafe and cannot be driven out of my driveway. The dealership is refusing responsibility and wants to charge diagnostics. I need this inspected and towed under recall responsibility.”

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Crank but no start. Found fuse 27 melted. This fuse supplies power to the fuel pump relay which gives the fuel pump power to run. The melted fuse had lost its connectivity. The fuse is a 20 amp. The fuse was not blown. Unable to determine the cause of the heat to melt the fuse. I searched YouTube and found that this is a common problem with the f150 with the range of 2010 to 2014. Also found that several parts dealers offer a F27 fuse relocation kit as a work around for the problem. The incident happened at home where I was able to research the problem. What if I got stranded in the middle of nowhere, no cell service, and 25 below zero? Worse yet, could this hot spot start a fire under the hood? Why there has not been a recall on this fuse is beyond reasoning tthat the repair is more costly than a life!

Coil packs need constant changing in this vehicle. I’ve owned it almost 8 years and sometimes I would have to change the coil packs more than 1 time a year. Obviously I would change the spark plugs also. But there is always a misfire. A lot with 3 and 5.
