NHTSA Complaint #11385671 — 2014 FORD F-150

SPORADICALLY, OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS (BUT WITH MORE FREQUENCY IN RECENT MONTHS), AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WITH NO OTHER COMMON DENOMINATOR, THE TRUCK LOSES POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE TRUCK FUNCTIONING IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTART IT. MOST TIMES, THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. IT'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN DANGEROUS IN MULTIPLE INSTANCES. WHILE THE TRUCK IS A 6-SPEED, 2014 FORD F-150, IT WAS BUILT IN NOVEMBER OF 2013. REGARDLESS OF THIS, MY VIN IS NOT PART OF RECALL 19V433000 OR 19V075000, DESPITE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLS. THESE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURE DATES SHOULD BE INCLUDED. I WAS ALARMED TO SEE THE NUMEROUS CLAIMS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. FORD NEEDS TO MAKE ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS TO THAT EFFECT. THIS IS OUR 5TH FORD BETWEEN MY WIFE AND I, OF WHICH 4 WERE TRUCKS. CONSIDERING FORD'S NEGLIGENT FLAW HASN'T BEEN CONSIDERED FOR ANY RECALL, DESPITE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE FROM ITS OWNERS, IT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST FORD PURCHASED BY US, OUR EXTENDED FAMILY, AND ANY OF OUR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL ASSOCIATES TO WHOM WE WILL PASS ALONG THIS CONCERN. IT'S EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.
