Problems with 2014 Ford F-150 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I was driving down the highway with my rear defrost operating. i smelled something burning that had an "electrical burn" smell. i thenheard a loud "pop". i looked in my rear view mirror and saw that my rear driver side back glass panel (sliding glass window) was shattered. this was especially concerning because my daughter was seated directly in front of the shattered glass in her car seat. i researched this problem and saw numerous issues with the rear window defroster in this model of truck. that explains the electrical burning smell.

Was having trouble starting my truck one day. cranking and cranking but not firing. sometimes it would eventually fire, sometimes it required a jump to get it going. took it into ford, they replaced the battery. didn't happen for a few more days. same thing. crank, crank, crank, but wouldn't start. did some searching online, and found similar situation regarding a burnt/melted fuse 27 (the fuel pump fuse). ford knows about this issue so much that they even created a part to move the fuel pump to a larger fuse. i'm glad this issue only happened while sitting still and i was able to get the fused replaced without incident. however, i would imagine that soon my vehicle would have stopped while traveling due to the fuel pump fuse completely dying. also seems like a fire hazard, or it could do further damage to the fuse box or to surrounding fuses. ford should issue a recall for this immediately.

I drove my f-150 eccoboost truck to the snow, same area i have been hundreds of times and suddenly smoke burst from the engine, then flames shot out around the hood, popped the hood and fought the fire for half an hour, it kept restating. it stranded myself and children, and we had a harrowing experience that was pretty dicey. ford had just put in a new engine, at my cost, +14,000.00, after the timing chain failed. they would not repair it at their cost, even though i have copies of the fault codes from before the failure of the timing chain that destroyed the old engine. the new one had under 10,000 miles on the new engine, probably about 5,000 miles on it. we had driven on the relatively flat grade mainline road, and drove up about 0.8 miles, climbing maybe 400 ft elevation over that distance. i was in the process of turning the vehicle around when the engine burst into flames. it was on a gravel road. we had traveled from home, 35.2 miles.

I got a left rear door ajar warning on the dash of my 2014 ford f150 crew cab pick up truck. i would check the door and it was closed properly. every time i started the truck i would get the warning. i made an appointment with ford to find out why this was happening. on the day of the appointment with ford, i started the truck and heard a buzzing type noice from the rear seat area. i got out to he truck with it running and opened the left rear door to search for the buzzing noise. as i was looking for the noise i started to smell plastic burning, then out of the left pillar between the front and back door smoke started pouring out of where the seat belt goes behind the cover where the seat belt retracts to. smoke and the smell of the plastic started to fill the cabin area of the truck. i shut the truck off. within about ten minutes the smoke cleared but the smell of burned plastic was strong. i then had the truck towed to miller ford in lumberton, ...

I was pulling out of a parking structure as i turn right and then try to sraighten into the street my steering wheel was not abel to turn n was making a funny noise as i tried to and almost crashed had to yank the steering wheel hard and was barely abel to turn enough to not hit a car now car is just abel to go straight.from my knowledge it has to do with the electric power steering the trucks come with and looked into it as i was parked as close as i could to the side of the street that the trucks are known for them giving out with no warning n a recall was done on a certain batch i called ford n dey said no my truck has no recalls n read up that the recall number was 14s09 n was happening to alot of those truck models

My 2014 f-150 platinum edition rear driver side window glass cracked this morning. auto started my truck and the defrost automatically turns on as it's warming up the truck. 5 min later after getting in the truck drove the truck for 10 sec or so and i heard a loud pop! my glass had shattered into the pieces. did research and seen i'm not the only one who has had this happen to them. the defrost sensor has been causing this to the 09-14 f150 and ford is not doing anything about this.. i called a couple dealerships and asked them about it and they also told me they have had a lot of other people call them about this issue. what is ford going to do about this? i don't really want to pay 1k out of pocket to fix something that's an issue with the manufacturer. if this has happened to anyone else, please put in a complaint so this can get resolved sooner than later! i'm just glad no one was in the back seat when this shattered at it was extremely loud and could've shattered on them! thank you !

Driving with the rear defroster on heard a loud bang and then noticed my drivers side rear window was completely spider webbed. i've read many other complaints about the same issue.

I have a 2014 f150 ecoboost and there is a recall from ford for a temporary loss of signal with the output shaft speed sensor however not for my year. i tried to go to ford to have them reflash the pcm like the other years they could not do it i have had my truck go into 1st gear on several occasions while on the freeway at 60+ mph. i have had it stutter in 1st gear and then shift to 5th with the wrench light turning on while trying to pull out into traffic

Vehicle fire. i started the vehicle up in my driveway and heard a small pop/explosion and smoke came out from under the hood. i immediately shut off the truck, popped the hood and could not identify the source of the issue. i started the truck again and noticed where the fie/smoke was, shut off the truck, and proceeded to rush into the house to grab the kitchen fire extinguisher and put the fire out. thankfully i was not driving and my house didn't catch fire. i called my mechanic and had the tow truck deliver the vehicle to him and they confirmed that it was the oem alternator that was the cause of the fire. i contacted the dealership wanting to report the issue and the dealership in their words said "not sure what you want us to do?" not are you ok, this is serious let us help, etc. just a simple passing the buck to a 1800 number to ford. i filed a case with ford motor company, but that too was a joke. they didn't care either. i was told they'll file it as negative feedback and since ...

No radio and time flashes on display.

Driving on i-10 in arizona pulling a camper engine suddenly shut off. pulled over, restarted engine, tried again, shut off again couple miles later. did this several times until we reached ford dealer. they found fuel system mini fuse had melted in fuse panel. with very little research found this has been a issue since 2009-2014 trucks. ford refuses to address this problem. they have a tsb for it. they move fuse to open slot in fuse panel & put a heavier fuse that can handle load. not only did this cost me $500. but also put me & my family in extreme danger (shut down on freeway with 18wheelers next to us) someone needs to make ford stand behind their product. i'm not the only one check f-150 forums, many others. thanks

Left for work this morning (april 29th 2019). temp was 48, left the hotel and turned on rear defrost, smelled a burning electronics smell within about 2 minutes after turning on the rear defrost and heard a loud pop as i was traveling at 35mph. i looked back to see my driverside rear window completely shattered. called ford and asked them if they new of anything, they just brushed me off. im concerned greatly more for the electrical smell even though im highly upset about the window. i dont want a vehicle fire. this is a factory defect, not a wear and tear item or a consumable. i am thoroughly convinced ford needs to fix this, both my window and the electrical burning smell. i worked at a dealer as a technician, if my truck catches fire, i will hire a lawyer.

Wiper motor, radio/ ignition system, remote locking/ unlocking & cruise control. 1st issue: wiper motor will not turn to off, the wipers run intermittently in the off position every 20-30 seconds the wipers will run. pulled fuse until repairs can be made to switch and/or module. 2nd issue: when ignition is turned off & key removed, and the radio is playing or off, a low battery warning message appears: remove ignition key and turn off the radio. the issue will not cure unless truck is vacated & locked. dealer can't replicate issue no repairs made but still occurs from time to time. 3rd issue: power lock/ unlock by remote does not communicate with truck intermittently, replaced both remote batteries still having issues getting truck to unlock/ lock. dealer can't replicate problem & no repairs are made. 4th issue: cruise control will not disengage when pressing brake pedal, have to turn off cruise control from steering column. this issue never returned to date of this complaint, no repairs made. this issue should be a safety concern. with all the issues with truck no warning dash messages or lights. thanks, (xxxx) ...

As i was entering an on ramp to the freeway, the vehicle suddenly downshifted from 5th gear to 2nd and the speedometer jumped from around 45 to less than 20 and back up again. after getting on the freeway, the vehicle seemed to have paused, the speedometer again jumped from 65 down and up again.
