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. Seems to be the same issue that has been recalled in earlier model Ford F-150S. Have scheduled appointment with Ford dealer.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact parked the vehicle in the driveway (on an incline), shifted the gear to park, and removed the keys from the ignition. The contact went inside the residence to retrieve a wheelchair for the passenger. As the contact was transferring the passenger to the wheelchair with the passenger door open, the vehicle started to roll away in reverse. As the vehicle was rolling away, the passenger in the wheelchair was dragged down the driveway and into the street. Police report number: 17-24021 was filed. The passenger was transported to the nearest hospital with scratches and scrapes. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (legacy Ford in rosenberg Texas, 833-811-8141), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact was informed that there were no failures with the vehicle and had no explanation as to why the vehicle rolled backwards while in park. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23,477. Contact states there is a recall for 150 Ford truck clip that locks gear shift cable to transmission.
While driving the vehicle and in motion when passing another vehicle the vehicle started to stutter and lose power. The engine icon started flashing. The icon went away shortly after this but this is the second time this has happened. After checking online there are several issues in regards to the 3.5 ecoboost engine doing this.
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"
The trucks overheats and ignition coils fail. This mainly happens when traveling through the mountains.this causes the truck to lose power and leaves me stranded on the highway broke down. This has been a problem ever since I purchased the truck new. Ford has been absolutely no help in solving the problem. I have documentation of over ten ignition coils failing and multiple engine over heatings.

F-150 at 34,000 miles, under warranty, and only serviced by Ford mechanics - when towing 6,500 lb trailer I receive message "transmission overheating powering down". truck then gears itself down and does not exceed 45 mph. This consistently now occurs when engine temperature hits 215. When towing I can not exceed 55 mph or temperature immediately climbs to 215 and transmission overheats. I have to pull over and let engine cool. This problem started in May 2017 and has never previously occurred. Courtesy Ford in pocatello, id repeatedly states there is nothing wrong and refuses to take any corrective action. Because of this issue I have cancelled several camping vactions for my family as I fear truck will suffer a severe breakdown and courtesy Ford will again refuse to honor warranty service.
I previously files a complaint about this vehicle. After diagnostics and repairs being done, it turns out that it is the lead frame that has gone bad. This is the same issue with the recall of the 2011-2012 F150's NHTSA campaign # 16V248000 and Ford recall campaign# 16S19. Our vehicle has the same transmission 6R80 and was built in the dearborn Michigan plant. Our vehicle was unfortunately out of warranty by 400 miles on this issue so we had to pay out of pocket. This year vehicle should have been included in the recall from 2016 and I have done enough research to see that there are many people all over the internet complaining of the exact same issue in the 2014 F150's. maybe Ford should be forced to recall the 2014's for this safety issue before someone gets hurt!!! this issue caused our vehicle at 55 mph to come to a skidding halt on a very busy highway!! we could have had a serious accident!!
Almost had several accidents due to a downshift into first gear while driving at approx 55 mph. The truck downshifted into first gear, rear wheels locked up and I was barely able to get it off to the side of the road. I see on the internet that this has been happening to many Ford F150's. saw a recall for the exact same thing but it only applied to 2011 and 2012 Ford F150's. all owners felt that their year vehicle should be included in recall. I feel that the 2014 should definitely be included in the recall. My 2014 is doing exactly what the 2011 and 2012's have been recalled for. I only have 60K highway miles on this truck!! below you ask for dates of this happening. It has happened many times. The dealership has ignored this. I will post the most recent date that it happened.
Vibration when starting off in first gear or drive on automatic transmissions. Also vibration at 45mph thru 52mph while light throttle application only. This is really noticeable on smooth roads.
Problem start since I bought the truck, drivershaft make an uncomfortable bump or hit everytime truck stop or accelerate.I been tree times in Ford service and they said is a normal thing.I have tested other friends truck and they dont have any problems.this is my third Ford truck and is the first time I feel this problem.
3.5 eco boost engine runs rough at times and when passing at highway speeds sometimes goes into "safe mode" and shuts down to idle when under full acceleration. Mileage is constantly going down, from 22mpg to 13mpg. Dealer says this is new to them.the dealer said they found tracks on the spark plugs and changed them, new plug wires were supposedly bad, replaced both turbos. Still no difference.I have a video of this happening with the eng check light coming on and after the dealer said there was no indication of this in obd2 memory.
Upon driving after start up, the truck will experience a harsh up shift when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. The truck will lurch forward violently. After operating, the harsh up-shift will go away. I have brought the truck to the dealer, and they cannot determine what is causing the harsh shift.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at a high speed, various warning indicators flickered and the vehicle coasted in reverse. The contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a dealer who stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.
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.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. While attempting to accelerate from a stop light, the vehicle jerked and sounded as if it would stall. The vehicle suddenly accelerated and was taken to a local dealer, but no failures could be found. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 14,000.
