Backup camera is intermittent. Sometimes it works then goes to a blue screen while backing which could result in injury or death of children behind vehicle. it is available for inspection. I haven't taken it to a dealer. there is a message when it goes to the blue screen. this has been an ongoing problem for the last 2-3 years or so. I entered the current date as this has been ongoing.
Was driving to work in busy traffic about 55 mph when transmission started acting up like it was slipping in & out of gear. Felt like I lost control of the Raptor F150 so I slammed on the brakes. People were honking at me and driving erratic to avoid me and to go around me after I came to a stop. Eventually everything seemed like it was working fine again after I turned the motor on & off and shifted thru the gears a few times. The same thing happened again on the way home from work. I took it to the Ford Dealer in Temecula CA. They said it would cost me about $15,000 to fix the transmission. I paid about $80,000 for it in 2014 but they only offered $25,000 for trade in value. So I traded it in on a newer Raptor for $97,000. but when I got home I realized they gave me a 6 cylinder so I took it back, they charged me another $188,000 to drive home in a 2024 F250 Shelby the day before yesterday. They never told me my original 2014 F150 Raptor was under a recall and could have been fixed for free. I loved my original 2014 F150 but now I-??m in an expensive truck with $3600 payments probably for the rest of my life. Did I get ripped off when they should have just fixed my truck for free under the recall? Thank you.

The truck will jump from sixth gear to first gear, or will go from first gear straight to fifth and be stuck in fifth, or be stuck in first, the truck will randomly take off on its own or come to a screeching stop on highways going 60 mph, the gear indicator will stop working, alongside all other gauges on the dash, such as gas mileage, RPM, speedometer, heat and oil gauge will all stop working, when the vehicle is pulled over and shut off, it will start normal and run normal for a short amount of time.
The rear doors on the truck would not open. Ford reports that it is a "wear and tear" issue b/c the piece at the end of the cable that pulls the latch to open the door is plastic. My concern is not being able to open the doors if there were people (perhaps a baby in a car seat), in the back seat and there was an accident. It seems to me that it is a simple engineering fix. My complaint to Ford went nowhere. There are several videos on YouTube about this problem so I suspect it is a fairly common problem.
My 2014 F-150 STX 3.7L Flex and Ecoboost truck has 17,000 miles on it and the PCM has failed according to the Dealership. I had my truck smogged for the 1st time on Dec. 19th, 2022, along with having the oil and it's filter changed, the engine filter changed, and a new battery installed which was recommended by the dealership. I then drove my vehicle 179 miles until Jan. 1st, 2023, until it wouldn't start. It would only click, click, with no cranking noise when I tried starting it.The battery was strong, with no dimming of the lights, and the remote for opening the doors worked fine. There was no error code or check engine light revealed on the dash. I had it towed to the dealership on a Thursday and didn't receive a diagnosis until the following Tuesday. Why did it take so long for a diagnosis" What if this failure happened while I was driving, as this is the brain of the vehicle which makes everything run? PCMs should last at least 75,000 miles and this would be considered an early failure. Is this failure something that the dealership could have created? I was given an estimate of $1592 to replace the PCM by the dealership. I have been informed by them that this part is on back order. My truck has been sitting at the dealership for almost a month now waiting on this back order part. Why are there so many of these PCMs needed around the country? Why are they failing" Thank you for your assistance. Donna Marie Gorsche
I was driving my F150 on the road another day and it shut off all of sudden in the middle of the road. I tried to restart it but was not successful. It was rush hour and it was so dangerous sitting in a truck in the middle of the road. Luckily I was not hit by other vehicles.
I was driving down the road and vehicle suddenly dropped in to third gear, the speedometer was indicating 0 MPH, a wrench was displayed on my center screen and the check engine light came on.
Took my 2014 F-150 in for an oil change on 09/09/2022 at Brondes Ford in Maumee Ohio, in the time spent there waiting for the vehicle to be done a representative came out to tell me that they were unable to rotate my tires do to swelling of the [lug nuts] and said it would cost me $120 From what I read online this is a big problem with Ford vehicle's.
The Ford f-150 2014 heated mirrors and rear sliding window defrost system stop working ALL fuses and relays were checked and in good working order. When brought to Ford Motor company dealer attention was told that rear window would have to be replaced at my cost to correct safety problem. Living in Michigan where we get freezing rain and snow being unable to use outside mirrors to safely see traffic to change lanes is a big risk factor for all on the highways. Ford motor company knows of this but not concerned to make right with owners of vehicles. These vehicles have been inspected by Ford motor. There is NO WARNING light to let one know that system is not functioning other then ice build up on mirrors.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started stalling and failed to accelerate as needed. Additionally, the maintenance warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road and restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle operated as needed. The vehicle was diagnosed and the throttle body was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 41,000.
My rear driver side window shattered while I was driving. It was around Jan 8th 2022 give or take the temperature was freezing but no ice had to be scraped. I warmed my truck up for a 3-4 mins before leaving work. As I was on the freeway no more than 10 min after starting my truck I was driving about 60mph at 5:30 in the morning I herd a super loud pop sounded almost like a rock hit my windshield but didn-??t see anything. I didn-??t find out what had happened until I got home. It did make me swerve just a little bit not know was happening but no cars were out that early. So only one of the three sections shattered but not into pieces it-??s still intact as of now but is in a ton of little gravel size pieces. So I-??m not able to use the electric middle window to open as I-??m sure it will completely break the other section. Also I was not even using the rear defrost at the time just the front window part. I-??m sure the temperature is to blame but either way it could have been a lot worse if there was traffic at the wrong time. I-??ll be turning into insurance to have it fix in the next few days.
We have experienced 2 incidents where a wrench appears on the screen followed by a complete loss of acceleration. The first incident occurred while on the highway driving 65 MPH, we made it over to the side of the highway, shut the vehicle off and restarted after about 1-2 minutes. We were able to make it home without another incident. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they could not find any error codes. I had a tune-up done before the second incident occurred. We were traveling 40 MPH on a very narrow curvy road during the second incident and were extremely fortunate to clear the corner with just enough room to get the truck off the side of the road before coming to a complete stop. Just as before a wrench appears on the screen. We shut the truck off and restarted it after 1-2 minutes and was able to make it home without another incident.
Rear, 3 piece window with center slider, driver side window shattered with no incident or impact. Online research suggested possible rear window defrost malfunction.
The symptoms are exactly as described in the leadframe recall of 2013 F-150 trucks - my truck is 2014. The truck suddenly shifts to 1st gear while travelling at higher speeds, sluggish acceleration, check engine light and the wrench icon appearing on the display, MPG display dropped to zero, and the speedometer stopped working while driving. The symptoms appeared gradually over the last 6 months, with the speedometer and the wrench icon happening yesterday. The last time I took it to the mechanic, about 2 months ago, the check engine light was on, but no codes. This is a safety issue because sudden shifting to 1st gear while at a higher speed is going to cause loss of control and an accident.
