SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR BRAKES OF MY 2014 F 150 SPORADICALLY LOCK UP FOR A FEW SEC AFTER SHORT OR LONG DISTANCE HIGHWAY DRIVE. THE ACTUAL LOCK UP OCCURS WHEN I MAKE A TURN INTO AND AROUND A PARKING LOT. ONCE I HAVE COMPLETED THE TURN THE BRAKES QUICKLY RELEASE THEMSELVES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER BUT CAN NEVER REPLICATE IT, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN TO EVEN LOOK AT THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS PROBABLY JUST THE ABS ACTING UP ONCE IN AWHILE.

POWER TRAIN
ACCELERATION LAG IN A ROLLING OR STANDING START. MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN STOPPED WITH TRUCK FACING UPHILL OR SLOWING TO A NEAR STOP AND THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING (SLOWING FOR A STOP LIGHT THAT TURNS GREEN AS YOU APPROACH THE INTERSECTION). ONCE ACCELERATION KICKS IN, THE VEHICLE JUMPS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAS DROPPED FROM NEUTRAL TO BEING INTO GEAR AT INCREASED RPM'S OR THE CLUTCH HAS SLIPPED. GEAR INDICATOR DOESN'T SHOW VEHICLE HAD EVER DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL. IF ACCELERATION RATE IS INCREASED FROM STOP OR ROLLING START, PROBLEM DOES NOT SEAM TO OCCUR. PROBLEM WAS NOTICED FROM BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP AND HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT EVER SINCE (TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH 2015). HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AS IT IS INTERMITTENT, BUT TALKED TO A NON-FORD MECHANIC THAT HAD HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE NOTICING ACCELERATION LAG.

BRAKE RESERVOIR LOST ALL FLUID RESULTING IN BRAKE LOSS, AFTER TRAVELING 60 MILES PULLING AN RV. ON OUR FIRST TRIP OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WE STOPPED FOR THE NITE THE NEXT MORNING WE HAD NO BRAKES AND FOUND THE RESERVOIR COMPLETELY DRY. CALLED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WERE TOLD IT WOULD COST $462 TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I REFILLED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND DROVE HOME PULLING THE RV OVER THE MOUNTAINS TO HOME. FORD TOLD ME THAT COULDN'T HAPPEN BUT IT DID THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER UNDER WARRANTY AND GAVE ME A LOANER CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES
LOST ALL BRAKING UNEXPECTEDLY. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I IMMEDIATELY HADE NO BRAKES WHATSOEVER. DESCRIBED EXACTLY AS IN THIS ARTICLE - HTTP://WWW.NBCDFW.COM/NEWS/LOCAL/US-INVESTIGATES-420000-FORD-F-150S-FOR-BRAKE-FAILURE-371060011.HTML I WAS LEAVING MY OFFICE PARKING GARAGE AND WAS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE ACTED QUICKLY TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. CO-WORKERS HELPED ME PUSH THE VEHICLE BACK INTO AN EMPTY PARKING SPOT WHERE IT WAS LATER TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AT DEALERSHIP'S EXPENSE. AROUND 10K MILES OR LESS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID ALL FLUID HAD LEAKED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BOOSTER. I VIEW THIS AS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND AM HIGHLY SUSPECT OF THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE, AS A RESULT. PLEASE ADVISE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH ON A FLAT STRAIGHTAWAY, 33 OUTSIDE, AND HEAR A NOISE LIKE A GUN WENT OFF. THE REAR PASSENGERS SIDE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE COMPLETELY SHATTERED. DEALER TOOK A PICTURE AND FORD SAID SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT IT DUE TO THE LARGE LOWER HOLE WITH A RADIAL PATTERN. THERE WAS NOTHING INSIDE OF THE TRUCK AND OF COURSE THE HOLE WAS LARGE NOW DUE TO FALLING APART WITH EVERY BUMP I HIT DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I THINK FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR WINDOWS AND OF COURSE BLAME IT ON THE CUSTOMER.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION EVENT, 2014 FORD F150, 5.0 L V-8. NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. OCCURRED 10/27/15 AT APPROX. 2 PM IN SPRING HILL FLORIDA, 80 DEGREES AND RAINING. EXPERIENCED SUDDEN FULL OPEN THROTTLE CONDITION WHEN BRAKING THE VEHICLE AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING STALL AT A BANK. BRAKE RESTRAINED THE VEHICLE FROM LUNGING FORWARD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS UNTIL I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. ACCELERATION WAS SUFFICIENT TO SPIN THE TIRES ON THE DAMP PAVEMENT. IN NEUTRAL THE THROTTLE WENT TO MAX RPM FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS, THEN SLOWED TO IDLE. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT IN USE AND FLOOR MAT WAS NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE CHECKED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON FRI 10/30. MY PASSENGER IS A WITNESS.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, WHEELS
AS AS I EXITING I-95 ONTO AN OFF RAMP IN A 2014 F-150 (GOING ABOUT 45MPH AT THE TIME OF BREAKING) I STARTED TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO SLOW TO AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO MAKE A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVED TURN. WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS, MY STEERING LOCKED UP, AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO SCREECH. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY STEERING AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I WAS PUTTING ON THE BREAK PEDAL. WHILE I DID EVENTUALLY STOP, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY REAR ENDED SOMEONE IF THEY WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THANKFULLY I HAD AN OPEN LANE. ONCE I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND INSPECT MY VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD SIGNAL AN ISSUE, SO I DROVE IT HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO IF THE SYSTEM WAS NOT REGISTERING ANY ERRORS AND THE TRUCK WAS (CURRENTLY) PERFORMING NORMAL. ADDITIONALLY, ABOUT 1 MONTH PRIOR, AS I WAS ACCELERATING AND THEN BEGAN TO BRAKE DUE TO A STOP LIGHT CHANGE, THE BRAKE PETAL BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND THE CAR MADE A 3 SECOND GRINDING SOUND UNTILL I LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND AGAIN PERFORMED NORMALLY THEREAFTER.
