Timing cover seal is leaking oil onto exhaust pipe causing the engine to smoke.

- Richmond, VA, USA

Hello - My 2014 F150 experiencing this issue, but FORD says my VIN is not on the recall list. Truck pulled brake fluid into the engine from faulty brake booster / master, lost all brakes, lots of smoke, brake fluid reservoir empty. Brake Master Cylinder May Leak into Booster NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V332 A loss of brake fluid may result in a change in brake pedal travel and feel, increased pedal effort and reduced front brake function, possibly requiring greater effort and distance to stop the vehicle. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.

Engine underpowered/turbo under boost: had this issue numerous times with the original engine (which failed at just over 85k miles). I've put less than 5k on the current replacement engine and it's happening again. This is especially concerning when merging into interstate traffic. Second issue: backup camera starting malfunctioning intermittently shortly after purchasing. It displays an error message 90% of the time. When it does display the image is backwards.

The studs for the exhaust manifolds rusted away and the exhaust is now leaking into the passenger compartment and bypassing all emissions systems. This is a common problem with Ford F150s. Ford has since changed the alloy used in the studs to prevent this from happening.

Submitting another complaint about this issue. 2014 F-150 SuperCrew 3.5L TT with 6 speed transmission. Was driving with my whole family in the car yesterday, 03/06/22. Truck started hesitating again, RPMs went crazy, MPH gauge freaked out. I shifted into neutral before the truck would go into a skid like it did the other day. Put the truck back into drive and it was fine. Turned around and took our other vehicle. This thing is a death trap. Recall the 2014 model year now. I've found several others online with 2014 model year with the same issue.

I was driving today, around 60 MPH, with my parents in the truck. All of a sudden my truck slammed into a lower gear, skidded the tires, and everyone was thrown forward in the vehicle. I almost lost control. I know there is a recall for the 2011-2013 Ford F-150 for this, but NOT the 2014 model year (mine). This is the second time it's happened where it's skidded the tires, and it's happened at least half a dozen other times where it hasn't skidded. This WILL cause an accident in time and this IS an issue with other 2014s that I've read about online. Today I was lucky there was nobody behind me or it would have caused a rear-end collision. This needs resolved NOW. I have a wife and three kids that also ride in this vehicle, it's our main family vehicle.

Coolant leaks and rear glass shattering!!

Engine exhaust manifold warps and the manifold heads break off in the block

- Lubbock, TX, USA

Exhaust manifolds are warping causing a severe exhaust leak at around 45K miles. Vehicle sounds like a bird chirping or wild animal screaming when accelerating.This repair is quite costly and requires several parts and labor hours. No vehicle with this low miles should require such a costly repair so early. Ford needs to make it right with all owners of these vehicle's by recalling and fixing the issue with the engine exhaust manifolds warping. I was quoted $1,700 per manifold x2 to get the leaks fixed and my truck safely running down the road again without making embarrassing noises. Anyone who has had to make this repair should be fully reimbursed for the parts and labor by Ford. When they make the repair they replace the failed parts with the exact same parts the truck come with so until they are forced to come up with a solution all us unfortunate 3.5L ecoboost owners will be replacing these costly exhaust manifolds. Thank you for your time. Nathan
