2014 FORD F-150 Steering Problems

Per the attached letter to 1 A Auto I installed the subject steering shaft and torqued it per their video instructions. It slipped off causing a complete loss of steering because it wasn't properly fabricated. . Thankfully, I was travelling at low speed and was able to safeky stop, make an emergency repair and got the truck home. It caused a break in the airabag clock spring cable and also broke a cable on the steering wheel that connects the guage control on the steering wheel. I bought another shaft from 1 A Auto but it had the same defect described in the attached letter. I did not intsall the second part from from 1A Auto. I bought another shaft from O'Reilly Auto parts which was properly fabricated by Dorman. These parts from 1 A Auto should be recalled before some is injured. Indeed someone may have already been injured but this issue may not be detected as the cause

The vehicle was traveling straight with steady traffic at an intense rate of speed (approximately 45-50 mph) when it all of a changed gears and became difficult for the [XXX] to control, causing the vehicle to hit a guard rail. There was no contributing factors to the accident other than the vehicle's malfunction (i.e. no negative weather, road signals, other vehicles, animal or plant obstructions, intersections, driver error, etc.).

Thus far, Ford has refused to replace the airbags, seatbelt/repair the vehicle's property damage despite repeated requests. Ford only fixed the software problem associate with the recall and has taken the position that is the only remedy they are required to do.

The vehicle had a complete loss of control of the power steering. Thankfully, it happened in the driveway and not on the highway. The message said Power Steering Assist Fault.

When Braking steering wheel locked up and almost caused accident due to not being able to control vehicle with steering wheel.

Steering wheel began erratic movement from right to left causing vehicle to swerve in a deadly fashion. Steering wheel continues to whip from right to left while sitting still on side of road. Vehicle cannot be safely driven at any speed without the risk of losing control.

My truck has been exceptional other than normal repairs. But for approx a year, my power steering capability continued to fail - reverting to manual steering. I was unable to secure an appt with my dealer immediately - leadtimes were 4weeks, so I went to Midas where I knew a couple techs. They advised that my serpentine belt was failing and affecting the electronic controls - which includes my steering column and it needed replacement. I note that I was having battery charge issues too and those have gone away. The fix seemed to work. I paid over 800.00 this past April 2024and all was good. The problem began to manifest again, off and on since Late July and I brought the truck back to Midas. They advised that ford has announced a recall #14509 for this condition. I contacted Davidson Ford, Clay NY, my dealer, advised of the issue and had my truck inspected on 9/24/24. Their inspection confirms the defect but they advise that my truck is NOT covered by the recall. This is ludicrous. This completely unfair and the dealership will not assist nor will ford. They of course blamed you which is laughable. I feel my family is at risk, I cannot in good consciousness sell this vehicle and my trade value is destroyed. I am in a financial bind, retired and can’t afford this.

When starting my truck I am now getting a hill descent control fault and service advancetrac.also shows a weak battery but the battery is new and has been checked okay.when you get these warnings the power steering becomes inoperable.also no turn signals work.I’ve not been able to get it into my local ford service as of this time.if I keep switching it off and recranking the warnings go away and all is well.what I don’t understand is why anyone would build a vehicle that would shut down your steering because of a warning that goes away. I have since read about other people having this happen while actually driving and losing steering and some power.this could be life threatening if your going about 70 miles an hour in the middle of traffic.

I was travelling down US Highway 1 when I received a dashboard warning "Power Steering Assist Fault." The steering became extremely difficult and required two hands and a lot of exertion to steer the vehicle. Fortunately I was driving straight line at the time of the failure without other vehicles in close proximity. Driver safety was definitely impacted and could have caused a loss of control. The fault has remained on, even after turning on and off the vehicle. The vehicle is with the Ford service center for diagnostics and repair. Vehicle has only 83,000 miles.

The steering went out. It felt like i had no power steering and was barely able to steer. the steering would not come back to neutral. It was almost impossible to drive. The dealer told me they get this issue a few times a week. I had to have the intermediate shaft and both tie rods replaced. I did complain to Ford who more or less said too bad

Steering is very sticky when turning left or right. Seems like low on fluid. But no pump is on this.

AS A STRONG MAN HAD TO PRACTICALLY USE ALL MY BODY WEIGHT TO AVOID COLLISION WHILE ALMOST STANDING. GOT IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS WAS DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR. FORD HAD RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE BY RECALL #14S09, BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. OBVIOUSLY THE EPAS STEERING GEAR IS DEFECTIVE AND VEHICLES WITH IT NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE COST WAS $2583 FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 38897 MILES.

DURING DRIVING THE STEERING RANDOMLY LOCKED UP. STEERING WAS NOT JUST STIFF (AS WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE CONVENTIONAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING); THE STEERING FELT LOCKED AS IF THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND THE WHEEL TURNED TO LOCK IN SOME VEHICLES. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY AND TURNING CORNERS THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THIRD TIME WAS WHILE TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK. LOCKED UP WHILE TURNING BOTH TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. THESE THREE OCCASIONS HAPPENED DURING A 10 MINUTE PERIOD. UNLOCKED SIMILARLY RANDOMLY (ATTEMPTED CRANKING HARDER ON THE WHEEL, JIGGLING, POWER CYCLING THE VEHICLE; NO LINK TO ANY OF THESE). A FEW WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS TRIP, THE STEERING BECAME SUDDENLY NOTCHY (FOUND HARD SPOTS IN ROTATION OF WHEEL THAT I POPPED OVER WITH MORE FORCE) WHILE DRIVING ~STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY, RETURNED TO NORMAL WHEN DRIVING HOME. THEN OVER THE FOLLOWING WEEKS THE WHEEL STOPPED RETURNING TO CENTER AND BECAME STIFF ALL THE TIME AND NOTCHY FREQUENTLY. ATTEMPTED REPLACING INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT, THINKING U-JOINTS WERE BINDING, BUT DID NOT FIX NOTCHY, STIFF STEERING. DIAGNOSIS AT MECHANIC REVEALED ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WAS NONRESPONSIVE TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION AND NOT RESPONDING TO COMMANDS WHEN COMMUNICATION WAS ESTABLISHED. REPLACEMENT OF POWER STEERING UNIT FIXED PROBLEM.

STARTING A MONTH OR TWO AGO WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING ON MY FORD F150 STOPPED WORKING LEADING TO AN INABILITY TO TURN WITHOUT USING A LOT OF STRENGTH. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RELATIVELY INTERMITTENT BUT FREQUENT. THIS MEANS SOMETIMES I HAVE THE ABILITY TO STEER NORMALLY, BUT MORE FREQUENTLY THAN NOT I AM MUSCLING THE VEHICLE THROUGH TURNS. THE ONLY PRECEDENCE I CAN FIND FOR THIS ISSUE IS A RECALL ON MY SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, BUT UPON TALKING WITH FORD, MY TRUCK WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS MATCH. I CANNOT FIND ANY OTHER PRECEDENCE FOR THE ISSUE, AND CANNOT FIND ANY GUIDANCE. ALL I KNOW IS THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AS THERE IS NO TELLING WHETHER OR NOT I WILL BE ABLE TO STEER. ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, IT APPEARS THAT ABOUT 70 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS VERY PROMINENT, AS I'M SURE ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THIS SITE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 F150 TRUCK, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOT STIFF WHENEVER I TURNED INTO A RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE STREET OR ENCOUNTERED A TIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD. STEERING IN THESE INSTANCES NECESSITATED VARYING DEGREES OF ADDITIONAL STRENGTH TO MAKE THE TURN AND THEN THE WHEEL RARELY EASILY RETURNED TO A POSITION TO GO STRAIGHT THUS RESULTING IN OVER STEERING. I WAS TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER THROUGH MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT ON SEPT. 23,2019, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED UPON DETACHING THE TRAILER AND UNDER MORE NORMAL TERRAIN CONDITIONS. THE TRUCK HAS 80,600 MILES OF MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I AM FEELING THAT IT IS THE EPAS SYSTEM CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN EARLY 2015. IT WAS A LEFTOVER FROM 2014. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT THERE IS A RECALL (14509/NHTSA RECALL 14V316) FOR THIS YEAR AND MAKE, BUT SINCE THE TRUCK SAT AT THE DEALER DURING THE RECALL, I AM WONDERING IF THE EPAS RECALL WORK WAS ACTUALLY DONE. I HAVE SET A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER ON 9/26/2019 (NEMER FORD QUEENSBURY, NY) BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MY WIFE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO APPLY THE STRENGTH NECESSARY TO TURN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. I FEAR HOW MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD WAITING FOR REALLY BAD FATAL ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN. WHEN THE RECALL OCCURRED, MANY OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE IN THE HANDS OF DEALERSHIPS AND I AM CONCERNED THAT MANY WERE NOT REPAIRED BY THOSE DEALERSHIPS AND THE OWNERS WERE NEVER KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL INCIDENTS HAPPENED. THERE ARE MANY, MANY REPORTS FROM OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVING EPAS SYSTEMS.

INITIAL STARTUP, VEHICLE IS COLD. STEERING HAS BINDING OCCURRING THAT INCREASES AND DECREASES AS THE WHEEL IS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION AS I AM DRIVING, AS IT IS TURNED FROM FULL LEFT TO RIGHT, OR RIGHT TO LEFT. IT REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL FORCE TO CONTINUE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GO IN THE DESIRED DIRECTION. AS VEHICLE WARMS UP, THE FORCE REQUIRED TO TURN THE WHEEL LESSENS, BUT STILL REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO STEER IN EITHER DIRECTION. IF IT BECAME NECESSARY TO MAKE AN AVOIDANCE MANEUVER, IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE FORCE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE IN THE NECESSARY DIRECTION. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

THE POWER STEERING FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. AT TIMES IT REQUIRES 'MUSCLING' THE STEERING TO TURN OR STRAIGHTEN THE WHEELS AFTER A TURN. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY AND TURNING. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER FORD F-150 TRUCK OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS REPORTED ON DIFFERENT SITES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO POTENTIALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE B/C IT'S UNPREDICTABLE. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE 'FIXED' IF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EVEN KNOWS WHAT TO DO OR THE REPAIR FAILS! THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY IN A VERY LIMITED DATE RANGE.

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 GET TO WHERE YOUR GOING. I DON'T THINK ANYONE UNDERSTANDS THE STRESS ON A BODY OF TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY FIGHTING TO KEEP YOUR VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU MOVES IT PUSHES THE TRUCK THE OPPOSITE WAY, A CAR BESIDE YOU IT EITHER PULLS YOU TOWARD THEM OR BIG TRUCKS NEARLY BLOW YOU OFF THE ROAD LIKE YOUR IN A SMALL CAR.YOU CAN NEVER JUDGE HOW MUCH PRESSURE TO PUT ON THE WHEEL WHEN MAKING GRADUAL OR SUDDEN TURNS ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT'S NEVER THE SAME. ONE MINUTE YOU TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE AROUND TO MAKE A SMALL TURN AND THE NEXT TURN YOU BARELY TOUCH THE WHEEL AND IT MAY SEND YOU INTO THE NEXT LANE. I WAS TOLD BY FORD TO DRIVE WITH ONE FINGER ON THE WHEEL THAT THE EPAS NOTICES THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENTS AND THAT I'M COUNTERING WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. ABSOLUTE BS! I'M GLAD TO SEE I BOUGHT A 40,000$ POS AND THE ONLY THING FORD CAN DO IS GIVE A SMIRK WHEN I TAKE IT IN KNOWING GOOD AND WELL THEY HAVE AN ISSUE. HOW YOU DON'T HAVE A RECALL GOING PUZZLES ME AND SCARY TO THINK HOW MANY OTHERS ARE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS. JUNK

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 WHICH WAY I TRIED TO TURN IT, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SEEMED TO DISAGREE.

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 FOR EVERYONE. THEY WOULD RATHER RISK THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THAN CORRECT THEIR ISSUES. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT EVEN AFTER PEOPLE PAY TO GET THIS FIXED IT CONTINUES TO FAIL. RECALL NUMBER 14V316000 RECALL DATE 06/12/2014 COMPONENT STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM SUMMARY FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2014 FORD F-150 TRUCKS MANUFACTURED MAY 26, 2014 TO JUNE 19, 2014, AND EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING (EPAS). THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED EPAS GEAR MOTOR POSITION SENSOR MAGNET THAT CAN LEAD TO A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. CONSEQUENCE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. WHAT OWNERS SHOULD DO FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPAS STEERING GEAR, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN IN JULY 2014. NOTE: OWNERS ARE ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN REMEDIED. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-392-3673. FORD'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 14S09.
