UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The symptoms are exactly as described in the leadframe recall of 2013 F-150 trucks - my truck is 2014. The truck suddenly shifts to 1st gear while travelling at higher speeds, sluggish acceleration, check engine light and the wrench icon appearing on the display, MPG display dropped to zero, and the speedometer stopped working while driving. The symptoms appeared gradually over the last 6 months, with the speedometer and the wrench icon happening yesterday. The last time I took it to the mechanic, about 2 months ago, the check engine light was on, but no codes. This is a safety issue because sudden shifting to 1st gear while at a higher speed is going to cause loss of control and an accident.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:REAR WINDOW
I was driving with my defrost on front and rear windows at night time. I was stopped at a light when I heard a loud bang followed by a crackling noise. I safely found a spot to park close by and inspected if anything hit my truck. Nothing. My rear window on my cab was completely shattered. No evidence of anything hitting it. My truck bed was completely empty and had the canopy on. There was nothing in between the rear truck and canopy. What the heck? Had to be the rear defrost. There are multiple stories on the internet just like mine, with zero recall!!!! Ford make this right. Now I’m out 780.00 due to Fords faulty defrost wiring.

POWER TRAIN
On several occasions while driving at 50+ mph my truck suddenly downshifts from 6th gear to 1st gear causing the rear wheels to lock up and skid. i have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they refuse to do anything because they can not duplicate the issue. this has happened several times the last time was on the freeway causing me to shoot over 2 lanes of traffic almost causing an accident. the ford dealership and the extended warranty company ameriplus both refuse to help because they both say that they can not duplicate the problem but the vehicle comes up with dtc codes p0731 and p0722This is extremely concerning that this will happen when driving at highway speeds and the fact this vehicle is my daily driver and I usually have my kids in the vehicle with me. Im very concerned about the safety of driving now especially after learning this exact issue was recalled on the vehicles a year before mine with three same 6 speed transmission, but not on my year.

In October 2017 the entire rear window heating element was identified as defective. The entire window panel was replaced with Ford contributing partial monetary renumeration for the repair. On November 2, 2021 the rear window heater was activated. The indicator light did not “light up”. Approximately 15 minutes later a loud “bang” was heard in the cabin and the presence of smoke was evident. Upon pulling over and inspecting the vehicle, smoke was emanating from the rear right (passenger side) bottom corner. It was also noticed that the entire right panel. Ford has indicated that there is currently no recall associated with this. There are multiple reported incidents of the occurring over many years upon performing a Google search.

While driving on the freeway at about 70 mph, the "wrench" symbol popped up on my dash and the truck went into "limp mode" which is where the truck is on but you cannot accelerate. I then had the same thing happen while driving on the street at about 45 mph. Both times, I was able to get off to the side, restart the vehicle and then start driving again. After the car was restarted, there was some harsh shifting between 5th and 6th gear and it seemed a bit sluggish. I contacted the Ford dealership and they told me that they couldn't do anything unless the check engine light or wrench symbol were showing on the dashboard.

STEERING
I was travelling down US Highway 1 when I received a dashboard warning "Power Steering Assist Fault." The steering became extremely difficult and required two hands and a lot of exertion to steer the vehicle. Fortunately I was driving straight line at the time of the failure without other vehicles in close proximity. Driver safety was definitely impacted and could have caused a loss of control. The fault has remained on, even after turning on and off the vehicle. The vehicle is with the Ford service center for diagnostics and repair. Vehicle has only 83,000 miles.

STEERING
The steering went out. It felt like i had no power steering and was barely able to steer. the steering would not come back to neutral. It was almost impossible to drive. The dealer told me they get this issue a few times a week. I had to have the intermediate shaft and both tie rods replaced. I did complain to Ford who more or less said too bad

POWER TRAIN
Driving 55 mph the truck slammed into 1st gear at the same time rpm shot up then jumped to 3rd gear then stuck in 5th gear i thought they fixed this issue with the update on the ecm in 2013. If it is a problem with the lead on the vehicle speed sensor on the transmission why is that not being replaced instead of making it shift to a higher gear. With it shifting to a higher gear is not a fix its a bandaid for a bigger issue......
