ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY TRUCK DOESN'T WANT TO STEER RIGHT. IT'S VERY HARD TO STEER AND SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS. HEARD THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING IN THESE TRUCKS. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND IT'S WHEN YOU ARE GOING AROUND A BEND. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE.

SERVICE BRAKES
MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND ALL THE FLUID DRAINED OUT AND INTO THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN THE WARNING LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CAME ON, LUCKILY I MADE IT HOME BEFORE I LOST ALL BRAKING FUNCTIONS. WHILE DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM I COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK SO I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING TO TRUCKS JUST LIKE MINE AND EVEN SOME WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL BUT WHEN SEARCHING MY VIN UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON MAIN SCREEN. TRUCK IMMEDIATELY WENT TO LIMP MODE. NO ACCELERATION AVAILABLE. DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO GET TO SAFETY. TURNED OFF TRUCK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART AND TRUCK SEEMED FINE. ALSO, WHEN CRESTING A HILL IN SIXTH GEAR AND SLIGHTLY LIFTING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE HAS A BIG THUNK THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. SEEMS TO BE IN THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, 'NO CODES' ARE GENERATED FOR THIS OR THE YELLOW WRENCH. FORD SAY POSSIBLE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, LEAD FRAME FOR THE TRANSMISSION, OR SPARK PLUGS. OUR SPARKS PLUGS ARE FORD BRAND AND NEW. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2011-2013 F150, BUT THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE OUR TRUCK AS IT'S A 2014. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DESERVES ANOTHER RECALL AND FORD AGAIN TO COVER THE REPAIRS. THIS IS HAPPENING TO TOO MANY FORD OWNERS AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. THERE IS A LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD FOR SEVERAL MODELS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE DO THE ONLINE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. OUR TRUCK ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME. NO RESOLUTION THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE NO CODES ARE BEING SAVED BY THE COMPUTER. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH FORD KNEW OF THESE ISSUES FOR YEARS AND THEY FAILED TO TAKE CARE OF THE COMPUTER CODE ISSUE AND FIXED THE FAULTY VEHICLES THEY SOLD.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING 55+ MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NOTICED IT DOWNSHIFTING FROM 6TH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 3RD CAUSING EXCESSIVE RPMS. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WAS "BAD GAS" THAT HAD FOULED THE PLUGS. CHARGED ME OVER $300 AND IT'S NOT A BIT BETTER. SEEMINGLY IT OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN I LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR (I.E. GOING AROUND A CURVE OR TOPPING A HILL) BUT IT IS VERY RANDOM.

WHILE DRIVING, AN UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AND THE REAR TIRES MAY SLIDE OR LOCK, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON FOR THE 2011-2012 F150'S. THERE ARE MANY ISSUES I HAVE READ ABOUT RECENTLY WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND THIS ISSUE WILL LIKELY KILL SOMEONE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. IMAGINE DRIVING 75 ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF DEATH TO ONE OR MORE PEOPLE IF YOU CANNOT CONTROL THIS VEHICLE.

2013-2014 BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER....MY 2014 F150 HAS THIS SAME FAILURE WITH 58K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN SLOWING TO MERGE ONTO A US HIGHWAY HERE IN DAGSBORO, DELAWARE 19939. WINDSHIELD WIPER/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH RECALL....THIS 2014 FORD F150 HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THOSE THAT FALL UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE WHEREAS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN COME ON AND YOU CANNOT GET IT TO TURN OFF. NO MATTER IF YOU ARE MOVING OR NOT THIS CAN OCCUR SPORADICALLY WITHOUT WARNING.

I HAD USE THE TRUCK ALL WEEKEND, IT WAS RUNNING FINE, PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. STARTED VEHICLE MONDAY MORNING AND GOT A WARNING LIGHT SAYING "BRAKE FLUID LOW". I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS LIGHT IN MY LIFE, LET ALONE SINCE OWNING THIS TRUCK. PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR, THERE WERE NO BRAKES. CHECKED THE RESERVOIR, THERE WAS NO FLUID. CALLED EL CAJON FORD, IN CA. TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING IT TOWED IN. IN THE MEANTIME, GOT ON LINE TO RESEARCH POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR ACKNOWLEDGED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL, BUT SAID HE WOULD NEED TO INSPECT THE TRUCK. CALLED ME BACK AND CONFIRMED THIS WAS THE ISSUE, BUT SAID MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. SAME PARTS, SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAITED TWO DAYS FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT, NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY HAZARD, THAT IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD, AND THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND IT. WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY CERTAIN VIN MADE IN CERTAIN PLANTS. IT'S THE MASTER CYLINDER, THAT MOST LIKELY MADE BY ONE MANUFACTURER AND SHIPS TO ALL FORD PLANTS,

I AM EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS LIKE THOSE OUTLINED IN THE RECALL AFFECTING 2011-2013 F-150 TRUCKS (AMONG OTHER VEHICLES) WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION. IT SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND ABRUPTLY, AND TODAY, I HAD IT DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH TO 1ST ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS CHANGING LANES. THANKFULLY THE TIRES DIDN'T LOCK UP. THE ENGINE REVVED FREELY ALL THE WAY TO REDLINE WHEN THIS OCCURED, GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THESE DOCUMENTED AND REPORTED ISSUES, I'M UNSURE IF THE SECOND WAVE OF RECALLS FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR MANAGED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.
