I was driving down the highway when my truck lossed all throttle power. A wrench icon came up on my screen and I had to pull off the highway onto the shoulder. When I stopped the truck was shuddering really bad and wouldn't move. I turned it off and restarted it. The wrench went away and it would move again. I took it to a shop and they told me the electronic throttle body was stuck in the open position. This is the second time I'll be replacing the same part. First time was under warranty this time won't be. But when this part fails it is very dangerous. If it had failed while I was crossing lanes of traffic I could've been in a accident. You lose all throttle control when it sticks.

On 25 may18, my 2014 F-150 began completely losing throttle control. While trying to accelerate onto the highway at 55 mph, my truck would shut off with complete loss of throttle response, a wrench icon appeared, check engine light came on and I coasted to the shoulder safely without causing an accident. At complete stop, I had no throttle and a rough engine idle. I restarted the truck and drove home without issue. The following morning I drove the truck 70 miles round trip without incident. The following evening, I lost throttle X2 within.5 miles when I left my house. I drove to the dealership, 3 miles away, and the throttle went out 4 more times without warning creating a serious safety issue when making turns in intersections when I had complete loss of power. The dealership indicated the failure was the electronic throttle body. Upon research, I found a class action lawsuit against Ford for said issue, however my VIN number was not "impacted" but the customer satisfaction program. Replacement cost quoted by Ford was $373.66 and inspection recommendation of "performing fuel injection and throttle body service." Ah, throttle body would service would come under replacement, right? the service department rep agreed "I didn't even think of that." Created a case # under the "customer satisfaction program" but made no headway on a known issue. Will still cost $200 out of pocket with extended warranty. Not a very satisfied customer - known problem with the throttle control and taking no ownership of issue by Ford

While driving the vehicle and in motion when passing another vehicle the vehicle started to stutter and lose power. The engine icon started flashing. The icon went away shortly after this but this is the second time this has happened. After checking online there are several issues in regards to the 3.5 ecoboost engine doing this.

3 times within a 2 month period while driving, my truck displayed the wrench symbol in the evic screen and it went into limp mode.(the most recent was 2-28-18) pulled off to the side of the road, shut it down and restarted. Than it worked as nothing happened. Thank god I was not in heavy traffic or towing. This is an accident waiting to happen.

F150 repeatedly lost all acceleration and power. The truck went into a very limited low power state and many near collisions were narrowly avoided as the truck rapidly lost all acceleration and glided to a stop.a red wrench symbol appeared on the driver display stating a "mechanical" issue. This happened 50 plus times on surface streets and 10 plus times while on interstate highways under normal driving conditions. This issue got progressively worse over a two-week period culminating in the throttle body assembly being fully replaced.

Driving at 55 mph in cruise control. Touched brake to disengage cruise control and pressed accelerator pedal to pass a slow vehicle when pedal went to the floor and engine raced. I had to press brakes with all my might to slow vehicle to 45 mph and it kept climbing and pedal would not come up and engine speed would not slow. Pressed off button for cruise control and nothing changed. Finally after 5 miles heard a pop and the pedal came up and engine speed dropped to idle. Could not stop earlier as 2 lane hwy. With no shoulder. Guard rail and river on right and mountain cliffs on left side. Brought to dealer who could find nothing wrong they stated.

2014 Ford F-150 looses power at random times while on the highway. Had the throttle body replaced in June of 2016 because of same problem. Contacted Ford and they said I'm out of warranty and I would have to pay for any service repairs. I do a lot of traveling with a trailer and it quit dangerous in heavy traffic trying to fine a spot to pull over. I was in the fort pitt two mile tunnel in pittsburgh when this happened last week. Screeching tires and horns blowing I limped it out of the tunnel. Where I found a place to pull over. What can I do? frustrated Ford customer.

I previously files a complaint about this vehicle. After diagnostics and repairs being done, it turns out that it is the lead frame that has gone bad. This is the same issue with the recall of the 2011-2012 F150's NHTSA campaign # 16V248000 and Ford recall campaign# 16S19. Our vehicle has the same transmission 6R80 and was built in the dearborn Michigan plant. Our vehicle was unfortunately out of warranty by 400 miles on this issue so we had to pay out of pocket. This year vehicle should have been included in the recall from 2016 and I have done enough research to see that there are many people all over the internet complaining of the exact same issue in the 2014 F150's. maybe Ford should be forced to recall the 2014's for this safety issue before someone gets hurt!!! this issue caused our vehicle at 55 mph to come to a skidding halt on a very busy highway!! we could have had a serious accident!!

Almost had several accidents due to a downshift into first gear while driving at approx 55 mph. The truck downshifted into first gear, rear wheels locked up and I was barely able to get it off to the side of the road. I see on the internet that this has been happening to many Ford F150's. saw a recall for the exact same thing but it only applied to 2011 and 2012 Ford F150's. all owners felt that their year vehicle should be included in recall. I feel that the 2014 should definitely be included in the recall. My 2014 is doing exactly what the 2011 and 2012's have been recalled for. I only have 60K highway miles on this truck!! below you ask for dates of this happening. It has happened many times. The dealership has ignored this. I will post the most recent date that it happened.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle did not accelerate properly while passing other vehicles. Additionally, the fuel mileage was not calculating correctly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure in 2014. The failure mileage was 46,620.

Symptoms of failure: On or about 1/25/17 the truck began completely losing throttle control. While trying to accelerate onto the highway or traveling at highway speeds up to 70mph truck would shut off with complete loss of throttle response, a blue wrench icon would appear and the driver would have to try and coast to the shoulder safely without causing an accident. At a complete stop the truck would continue to not have throttle control, to regain throttle control the driver would have to restart the truck. The truck would then drive for a short period of time and lose throttle again several miles down the road. This problem proved to be a very serious safety issue while trying to make turns across lanes of traffic not knowing if the truck would lose power and throttle control in the path of an oncoming vehicle. This issue proved to be equally dangerous while suddenly slowing from highway speeds in heavy traffic with no throttle control and complete loss of power. The truck was delivered to Ford autonation of orange park 7700 blanding blvd, jacksonville, fl 32244 on 1/26/17 and left in their care for prognosis. On or about 1/26/17 Ford autonation of orange park determined the cause of failure to be the electronic throttle body, the electronic controller had failed inside the throttle body and the unit would need to be replaced. Was quoted $667 and told it was not covered under the powertrain warranty. Called Ford customer satisfaction department and started a case (cas-11570094) on 1/26/17 followed up every day, and on 1/30/2017 was contacted by autonation Ford to explain that I would be partially covered and would need to pay an out of pocket expense of $250. Needing the truck back I agreed to pay the $250 out of pocket expense while continuing to make and attempt to regain my out of pocket a later date.

Steering wheel switch controls (cruise control, radio, blue tooth functions) become erratic and switch functions become jumbled (ie. Activating the radio volume control switch may change the radio station or increase vehicle speed). Problem is intermittent, but did occur during a dealer service visit. The dealer replaced switch pack, but problem still persists. I conducted my own research and found other F150 owners having similar issues. Some have been solved with the replacement of the steering column clock spring. With the unpredictability of when this issue presents itself I have resorted to never using the cruise control feature due to the risk of unintended speed changes. While the remaining issues are inconvenient, I would not classify them as dangerous. The clock spring issue appears to be common enough to warrant a more thorough investigation. For those using the cruise control feature are at an increased risk of an inadvertent activation which may lead to an accident and possible death. Refer to the following utube link for a demonstration of the issue. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=C1ofg0-qovi

The operator called and informed us that the vehicle acted like it wouldn't accelerate. When he stomped down on the pedal the vehicle went full acceleration and stayed there. Hitting the brakes didn't help. The cruise control was on but not set. He tried pulling up on the pedal, turning off cruise and killed truck and restarted to max acceleration, killed the engine, restarted and it reset and went to working. We have no codes, inspected throttle body and cleaned, inspected wiring and app operation, other than graph signals were choppy and not fairly smooth (no diagnosis).

Unintended acceleration event, 2014 Ford F150, 5.0 L V-8. no damage or injuries. Occurred 10/27/15 at approx. 2 pm in spring hill Florida, 80 degrees and raining. Experienced sudden full open throttle condition when braking the vehicle as I pulled into a parking stall at a bank. Brake restrained the vehicle from lunging forward for several seconds until I shifted into neutral. Acceleration was sufficient to spin the tires on the damp pavement. In neutral the throttle went to max RPM for 2 to 3 seconds, then slowed to idle. Cruise control was not in use and floor mat was not near the accelerator. Vehicle is scheduled to be checked at the Ford dealership on fri 10/30. My passenger is a witness.

While traveling to san diego - as we exited off the freeway the cruise control failed to release. Stepping on the brake, turning off the switch did not change the stuck cruise control. We were going 70 mph as we exited and continued at 70 for about 1/2 mile - through 1 stop sign and 3 stop lights before were able to get to a safe place to turn the key off and loose all control of steering of the truck. We turned onto a side street. Turned off the truck 10-15 seconds - upon turning the truck back on it went immediately to 6000 RPM's burning rubber only reason we did not speed out of control again is because had both feet on the brake. Turned truck off again waited 10 minutes - turned it on again - the cruise control had finally released. We drove to the nearest Ford dealership which was 5 miles. They found nothing wrong with the truck - when we returned home we took it to our local dealer where we bought the truck - they found nothing wrong and said to bring it back if it happens again - we may not be alive next time to bring it back!

Vehicle was stopped at a red light with the operator's foot on the bake, vehicle began to accelerate unintentionally, operator was unable to stop and avoid collision of car in front of truck until the vehicle was placed in park. This prevented a collision from occurring. Incident occurred a second time on 1/22/2015 when vehicle was stopped at intersection. Truck narrowly missed oncoming traffic before transmission was forced by operator into "park". continuing to apply pressure on the brakes and pumping the brakes were not successful in stopping the acceleration of the vehicle.
