The transmission intermittently shifts down to 1st while driving or will shift to 5th while at stop light and will be hard to take off from the light. The very first time i had a wrench come up on the cluster display. It has happened 4 different time since november. When it shifts to first on its own it is while in motion. When shifting to 5th it always at a stop light or stop sign.

I'm having two issues with the drive train of my 2014 f150. First is accelerating from a stop. Its as if the driveshaft is missing a tooth and doesn't turn with the transmission. It hesitates then catches and you hear a thud like metal hitting metal. The other issue is far more serious. While on the highway i began accelerating to change lanes. As i changed lanes and put my foot down, the truck acted like it was…

Had to repair the "lead molded frame & gasket" ! Truck would jump threw gears while moving at any speed. Final draw was when truck dropped to 1st gear while traveling 70 mph on i-64 east nearly causing truck to flip over after screeching tires and running other cars off the road!

At 40,000 miles, had to have the throttle body replaced (extended warranty, so cost not material to me). Concern is that on a 1300 mile interstate round-trip, my engine shut down 5 times. In each case i lost all acceleration without warning and had to coast to the shoulder of the interstate. My dash showed a wrench symbol, which would disappear after i had turned the ignition off, then back on (as if nothing ever…

Throttle body went out after 40,000 miles. Driving down the road wrench icon pops up and a few seconds later the truck stalls and engine cuts out. Take it to ford and that part is not covered under my extended warranty.. Big surprise. Talk to customer service and there is nothing they will do either. So out 600 because ford knowingly sells these vehicles when they know that thousands of people are having the exact…

2014 f150 has been diagnosed with a lead frame malfunction by a ford dealer. While driving on the highway at 60 mph automatic transmission shifted into 1st or 2nd gear by itself and instantly and dangerously slowed the truck to 20 or 30 mph. Had to pull over, turn truck off then restart to regain normal control. Very dangerous, almost lost control of the truck. Found out this is the exact same problem as a lead…

Turbo went in the truck which then cause engine and transmission damage. Mechanic says the engine, transmission, and turbos need to be replaced quoting over 10k. Also, a neighbor had a 2014 f150 do the same exact thing around the same mileage and i thought that was very odd.

Our vehicle has the same transmission 6r80 and was built in the dearborn michigan plant. Our vehicle was unfortunately out of warranty by 400…

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…
