2014 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST - AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH VEHICLE WILL SHIFT INTO 1ST CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP. WILL THEN SHIFT BACK TO 5TH OR 6TH AND DRIVE NORMAL. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENS. ALSO WILL SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 5TH WHEN PULLING OUT AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF, THEN RESTART. SOMETIMES IT WILL LOSE ALL GAUGES WHEN DOING THIS AND THROW A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OUT AS SOON AS RESTARTED. AGAIN, NO WARNING AHEAD OF TIME WHEN IT DOES THIS.

WHEELS
WHEN WE HAD OUR TIRES ROTATED ALL 24 LUG NUTS HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE OVERLY TIGHT THEY WERE CHROME COVERED LUG NUTS AND DURING REMOVAL THEY WERE DAMAGED. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NEWER TRUCKS. THEY EXPAND AND CONTRACT WHICH MAKE THEM IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT DAMAGING. THEY COST 7.59 EACH AND ALL 24 HAD TO BE REPLACED. EACH TIME WE HAVE OUR TIRES ROTATED WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE LUG NUTS. DUE TO THIS ISSUE. WE SPOKE WITH OTHER REPAIR SHOPS AND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I HAVE AN F150 SUPER CREW CAB WITH A POWER SLIDING WINDOW IN THE BACK THAT IS 3 SEPARATE PIECES OF GLASS. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WITH THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST ON, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW SUDDENLY SHATTERED (STAYED MOSTLY IN TACT BUT SPIDERWEBED THROUGHOUT). IT MADE A LOUD BANG LIKE THE SOUND OF SOMETHING FALLING ON THE ROOF OR A GUNSHOT. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS VERY APARENT THAT THIS WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE OF EITHER THE WINDOW OR THE REAR DEFROST OVERHEATING. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM IF MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN IN THE CARSEAT WHICH IS DIRECTLY UNDER IT SINCE SMALL PIECES OF GLASS DID COME OUT. THIS IS A 2014 MODEL WITH APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES. THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE IF YOU DO A WEB SEARCH FOR F150S RANGING FROM 2010 TO 2014.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN ANY ROAD THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY WILL STOP WORKING PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO A "LIMP HOME MODE." FORD HAS DONE A "CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03" FOR PREVIOUS VEHICLES TO THE TONE OF 1.6 MILLION VEHICLES.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY 2014 FORD F-150 LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. MY ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT MY GAS PEDDLE WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS PASSING A SEMI TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY DASH BOARD HAD THE LITTLE WRENCH TURNED YELLOW. I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED AND VEHICLE RAN AGAIN LIKE NOTHING EVERY HAPPED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH SAID VEHICLE. MY TRUCK HAD 35,863 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS TOLD A VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY IT WOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE BUT PARTS ARE ALL ON BACK ORDER. I WAS ADVISED I COULD STILL OPERATE MY TRUCK UNTIL PARTS ARRIVED. TODAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND AGAIN MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER WITH ENGINE STILL RUNNING AGAIN. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO SHUT VEHICLE DOWN AND RESTART BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON. THIS TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TRYING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. *NOTE: I DID PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN CANADA WHILE WORKING IN CANADA FOR THE U.S. DEPT OF STATE SO THIS WILL BE A CANADIAN VIN

POWER TRAIN
2014 F150 HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A LEAD FRAME MALFUNCTION BY A FORD DEALER. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR BY ITSELF AND INSTANTLY AND DANGEROUSLY SLOWED THE TRUCK TO 20 OR 30 MPH. HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN TRUCK OFF THEN RESTART TO REGAIN NORMAL CONTROL. VERY DANGEROUS, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. FOUND OUT THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS A LEAD FRAME RECALL FOR 2012 F 150S. WHY NOT 2014S? WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHY HAS THIS MODEL YEAR NOT BEEN RECALLED?
