STEERING
MY SON WAS ONLY TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT A LOW SPEED ON A SIDE STREET WHEN HE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO STEER HIS TRUCK. HE THEN APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP. HE HAD TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK WAIT A FEW MINUTES THEN TURN IT BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES TO GET HOME. WE CHECKED TO SEE IF THIS MAJOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY OR A RECALL. NO WARRANTY OF COURSE (2014 F150 WITH 53,000 MILES) THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS FOR TRUCKS BUILT BETWEEN MAY 26, 2014 AND JUNE 19, 2014 AND OF COURSE MY SON'S WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER 2014. WE ARE TOLD THAT IT WILL COST SOMEWHERE AROUND $2000 TO TRY TO FIX THIS AND MORE THAN LIKELY IT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL EVEN AFTER BEING "FIXED". FORD KNOWS IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THEY STARTED WITH IT BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE. THEY WOULD RATHER RISK THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THAN CORRECT THEIR ISSUES. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT EVEN AFTER PEOPLE PAY TO GET THIS FIXED IT CONTINUES TO FAIL. RECALL NUMBER 14V316000 RECALL DATE 06/12/2014 COMPONENT STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM SUMMARY FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2014 FORD F-150 TRUCKS MANUFACTURED MAY 26, 2014 TO JUNE 19, 2014, AND EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING (EPAS). THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED EPAS GEAR MOTOR POSITION SENSOR MAGNET THAT CAN LEAD TO A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. CONSEQUENCE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. WHAT OWNERS SHOULD DO FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPAS STEERING GEAR, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN IN JULY 2014. NOTE: OWNERS ARE ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN REMEDIED. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-392-3673. FORD'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 14S09.

TURBO WENT IN THE TRUCK WHICH THEN CAUSE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. MECHANIC SAYS THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, AND TURBOS NEED TO BE REPLACED QUOTING OVER 10K. ALSO, A NEIGHBOR HAD A 2014 F150 DO THE SAME EXACT THING AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY ODD.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON THE NIGHT OF JULY 12 2018, I TOOK MY WIFE AND MY 3YR OLD TO A STORE IN MY 2014 F150 WITH ONLY 37,300 MILES, EVERYTHING FELT NORMAL ON THE TRUCK WITH NO INDICATIONS OF ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR A MERGING CAR AND MY FOOT WENT CLEAR TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER, AT THE SAME TIME A WARNING CAME ON THE DASH THAT SAID 'BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW'. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED HORRIBLE IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND RUSH HOUR. LUCKILY THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER THIS WAS OVER I CHECKED THE BRAKE CYLINDER AND IT WAS EMPTY, I KNOW IT WAS FULL BUT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF LEAKS, AFTER FILLING IT BACK UP I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AND IN JUST 2 MILES IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN WITH MO BRAKES. THE TECH AT THE FORD DEALER SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT AND THAT THE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER. THIS DIDNT JUST PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER, IT WAS ALSO MY WIFE AND 3YR OLD AND ANY DRIVER AROUND ME. HOW DOES A TRUCK LOOSE SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THE BRAKES AT ONLY 37,000 MILES?

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE FLUID WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED ON MY 2014 F-150 SUPER CREW 3.5 ECOBOOST TRUCK. WHILE THIS MEETS A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 46000 MILES AND THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY SHOT. VERY SCARY SITUATION AND COULD HAVE ENDED HORRIBLY. LUCKILY I GOT IT TO A FORD DEALER. ISSUE IS A LEAK IN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. I WAS IN MOTION AND THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. I PUSHED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR AND SLOWLY ROLLED TO A STOP AND WOULD HAVE CONTINUED WITHOUT A PARKING CURB STOPPING MY PROGRESS. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY BUT IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKE FLUID LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED AROUND TO HEAD HOME AND WITHIN TEN MINUTES I HAD LOST ALL BREAKING ABILITY. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS 'BREAK FLUID LEAKING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO BREAK BOOST' AND THEN REPAIRED BY REPLACING A NUMBER OF PARTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY TRUCK WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE SAME ISSUE BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED TWO MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL DATES, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED!
