2014 FORD F-150 Steering Problems

POWER STEERING IS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MODEL YEAR, BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED. I SEE SEVERAL ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER OWNERS THAT WEREN'T IN THE RECALL. I LIVE IN A MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WITH WINDY ROADS AND IF THE POWER STEERING QUITS WHEN ZI DON'T EXPECT IT, I WILL VEER OFF THE ROAD AND HAVE TO JERK IT BACK ON.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE

TRUCK DOWN SHIFTS WHILE DRIVING. MY PREGNANT WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY, WHEN TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR AND NEARLY CAUSED US TO SLIDE OFF ROAD IN THE RAIN. FORD JUST RECALLED 2011-2013 FOR SAME PROBLEM! THEY NEED TO RECALL 2014 AS WELL! MY TRUCK WAS FIXED AT FORD DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND BOTH REAR WHEELS SEIZED. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO SEIZED AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

STEERING RETURN ABILITY, STEERING RACK. STEERING DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF AFTER TURNING MUST BE MANUALLY DONE.

2014 FORD F-150 STX 4 DOOR. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE AROUND 26,000 MILES. I REPORTED THE ISSUE WITH FORD, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHICH WENT FOR A 30 MILE JOY RIDE I GUESS TO TELL ME THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED. ABSOLUTELY ENRAGES ME HOW THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT CAN BE SOLD TO HARDWORKING INDIVIDUALS KNOWING THAT THERE'S AN ISSUE THAT PUTS LIVES AT RISK AND STILL DENY THE CLAIMS. THIS VEHICLE HAS ABSOLUTELY RUINED ME FROM DRIVING AND MAKES ME SICK EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHICH WAY THE TRUCK WILL GO WHILE DRIVING. DRIVING DOWN A ROAD IT TRAVELS FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER. IF YOU GET ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE WIND IS BLOWING YOU MAY AS WELL GET OFF AND GO ALL BACKROADS OR GET READY TO STROKE OUT BEFORE YOU...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, GOING ABOUT 45 MPH, I WENT TO SWITCH LANES FROM THE RIGHT LANE TO THE LEFT LANE, AND WHEN SUDDENLY MY POWER STEERING (POWER STEERING ASSIST) WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE, AS THIS HAPPENED, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED LEFT, CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF ROAD, I GRABBED THE WHEEL AND WITH ALL MY MIGHT FOUGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO GO BACK RIGHT, AND BARELY ESCAPED HITTING A HUGE OAK TREE, THE TRUCK WAS THEN NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN.WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT LET ME TURN IT, IT WAS FIGHTING ME AND TRYING TO GO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHICHEVER WAY I TIRED TO MAKE IT GO. IF I TRIED TO TURN LEFT, IF FOUGHT ME TO GO RIGHT, WHEN I TRIED TO TURN RIGHT IS FOUGHT MY TO STAY LEFT. NO MATTER...

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FADES IN AND OUT CAUSING ERRATIC STEERING. STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN AFTER INTENDED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING ABILITY. THE CONTACT ROCKED THE VEHICLE BACK AND FORTH AND THE STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR OTHER TIMES, BUT THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. *TT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING BECAME INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOWNSEND SALES & SERVICE (340 MAIN ST, TOWNSEND, MA 01469, 978-597-8955), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

WHILE TURNING TO THE LEFT I HEARD A SEQUELCHING NOISE. I THEN GOT A MESSAGE TO SERVICE MY ACUTRACTION SYSTEM. I WOULD TURN MY TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT WOULD RESET AND GO OFF. THIS TOOK PLACE FOR A FEW DAYS. WHILE MESSAGE WAS ON THE LEVER FOR MY TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT STAY ACTIVATED. TODAY (9/25/2018) I GOT THE MESSAGE AGAIN. THIS TIME I ALSO GOT A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. TRUCK ONLY HAD 66,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE GOT RID OF TRUCK BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD A FAULT IN THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE.

LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST CAUSING YOU TO OVER STEER OR UNDER STEER ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN. MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ARE POSTED ON VARIOUS INTERNET SITES. PARTIAL RECALL OF EPAS UNIT FOR CERTAIN VIN. MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DATE IS AUGUST 22, 2014 PER FORD CUSTOMER CARE. MANFACTURE DATE IS JUST WEEKS AFTER RECALL LOT OF IDENTIFIED VEHICLES. VEHICLE CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN

FIRST RECEIVED ADVANCE TRAC WARNING, THEN HILL DESCENT WARNING AND THEN POWER STEERING FAILURE INDICATION. POWER STEERING FAILURE WAS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN IN MOTION DOING A TURN, DUE TO ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM LOCK UP WHICH PREVENTED THE FRONT WHEELS FROM TURNING AS MUCH AS EXPECTED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS UNEXPECTED CONDITION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR WORSE IF OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!

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...

LOST STEERING MOMENTARILY WHILE DRIVING UNDER DRY, NORMAL CONDITIONS ON A MOUNTAINOUS HIWAY AND CROSSED LEFT OF CENTER WHEN POWER ASSISTED STEERING FAILED. HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC ERRORS APPEARED ON MY PANEL. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND COMPUTER GENERATED ERRORS AND COULD NOTR/DID NOT REPAIR. HAS OCCURED TWICE MORE WITH SAME RESULTS.

READS CHECK ADVANCE TRACTION CONTROL. SHOULD BE A RECALL ACCORDING TO COMPLAINS I'VE READ ON ISSUE..

THE POWER STEERING FAULTS WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS NO STEERING

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, ABOUT EVERY QUARTER TURN IT BINDS UP FOR A SORT DISTANCE. THIS CAUSES YOU TO BOTH OVER-STEER AND UNDER-STEER

LOSS OF POWER STEERING- IN MARCH 2018 THIS STARTED HAPPENING, TO DATE IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF GROCERY STORE, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE " SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" "HILL DECENT CONTROL FAULT" CAME ON MY SCREEN, I WAS IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, SECOND TIME I WAS TURNING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND LOSS THE ABILITY TO TURN MY WHEEL, 3RD TIME WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT AN ONRAMP, THIS TIME I WAS HEADED INTO A HIGHWAY PERPENDICULAR AND CARS WERE COMING AT ME 70+ MPH. THEN MY SON AND I WERE TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND LOCKED UP MY BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING A SEMI- THEY HAD TO LOCK THEIR BRAKES UP AND SWERVE TO KEEP FROM HITTING US. THEN TODAY I GOT IT BACK, AND MADE IT 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD...

TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE...

POWER STEERING WENT OUT SUDDENLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS , LUCKILY I WAS GOING STRAIGHT. MILAGE 67,953

MY TIRE SPEC AND PRESSURE LABEL IS INCORRECT, COLD PSI IS SHOWN AT 55 PSI FRONT AND 60 PSI REAR AND THE TPMS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE IF UNDER 55 AND 60. ALL LOCAL FORD SERVICE ADVISERS SAY IT SHOULD BE 35PSI.

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY FAILED. FORD DOES HAVE A RECALL ON CERTAIN TRUCKS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT THIS VEHICLE. TRUCK WAS IN MOTION IN GREENFIELD MASS. ON INTERSTATE 91

POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY . LUCKY WE DIDN,T GET KILLED.

STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH WIFE AND GRAND DAUGTHER IN VEHICLE,CODE CAME UP PROBLEM WITH ELECTRIC STEERING,HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR 1 WEEK.

THERE IS A SHAKING AND VIBRATION TRANSMITTED THRU THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL WHEN EVER THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED DURING STOPPING. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH F150'S. TURNING THE ROTATORS HELPS FOR AWHILE.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND LOST POWER STEERING. TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO STEER TRUCK. PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED ALSO LOST TURN SIGNAL, HEADLIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. TWO MESSAGES CAME UP, CHECK TRACTION CONTROL AND LOW BATTERY POWER SAVE MODE. MIGHT OF BEEN OTHER THINGS NOT WORKING BUT DIDN'T CHECK FOR ANYTHING ELSE. DROVE IT TO FORD DEALER. AGAIN TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. WAS DRIVING DOWN STRAIGHT ROAD ABOUT 20 MPH. VERY LUCKY DIDN'T HAPPEN ON CORNER OR WHEN WIFE DRIVING IT.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. POWER STEERING RETURNS AND FAILS OFF AND ON REPEATEDLY. VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. STEERING ALSO FAILS ON CITY STREETS AND COMES OFF AND ON WITH NO DEFINED PATTERN. MUST BE MAN HANDLED TO BE STEERED. *TR

WHILE PULLING A TRAILER AFTER 100 MILE TRIP DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING . AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER IVE LEARNED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR IS INFERIOR, CAUSING CAVITATION. IN OTHER WORDS THE FLUID OVER HEATS AND CAUSES PUMP FAILURE.

TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED AND TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING RESULTING IN RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR INJURIES WERE INCURRED. THE VEHICLE ON HAD 43,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED ON A RECALL LIST BUT THAT THEY HAD BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER.

STEERING WHEEL TURNED AND KEY DID NOT. GOT KEY TO TURN AND AS VEHICLE WAS PULLED OUT OF PARKING STALL THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT TURN.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING BECAME SLUGGISH. THE NEXT DAY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THE CHILDREN INSIDE, WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST COMPLETELY WENT OUT, BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND MADE VERY LOUD, ALMOST SCREECHING NOISES WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS RESULTED IN MY FAMILY NEARLY CRASHING IN THE TRUCK. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE PAVED HIGHWAY/ROADWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN.

WHILE BACKING UP THE TRUCK, THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS SIGNS OF ANY TROUBLE. THIS OCCURRED AT 53,000 MILES. SEVERAL CODES BEGAN TO FLASH ON THE CONSOLE SUCH AS POWER STEERING FAULT AND CHECK TRACTION CONTROL, ETC. AFTER TOWING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY LATER CALLED AND SAID THE STEERING GEAR WAS BAD. IN ORDER TO REPLACE IT, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT ALSO WHICH BRING THE COST TO APPROX. $1600. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I FEEL MOST CERTAIN I WOULD HAVE EITHER RUN INTO SOMEONE OR WRECKED THE VEHICLE.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHOLE MOTOR WAS RUNNING AND VEHICLE WAS DRIVING. COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING.

WHILE AT DEALER (JONES FORD NORTH CHARLESTON SC) ANOTHER F-150 TOWED IN WITH SAME PROBLEM. FORD REPLACED ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE MAY OCCUR AGAIN. IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE?

AS AS I EXITING I-95 ONTO AN OFF RAMP IN A 2014 F-150 (GOING ABOUT 45MPH AT THE TIME OF BREAKING) I STARTED TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO SLOW TO AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO MAKE A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVED TURN. WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS, MY STEERING LOCKED UP, AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO SCREECH. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY STEERING AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I WAS PUTTING ON THE BREAK PEDAL. WHILE I DID EVENTUALLY STOP, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY REAR ENDED SOMEONE IF THEY WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THANKFULLY I HAD AN OPEN LANE. ONCE I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND INSPECT MY VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD SIGNAL AN ISSUE, SO I DROVE IT HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME...
