2014 Ford F-150 steering problems

Filed Oct 19, 2026 · Engine, Steering · TX

In the last month this has happened twice. While driving down the freeway my vehicle just downshifted on its own, speedometer dropped to 0, and I lost steering power but vehicle was still running. The wrench for service came on and the battery light also. As I was trying to get to a safe location the infotainment system went off first followed by my dash lighting. On the first time it happened after letting the vehicle sit for about an hour upon restart everything reset and was ok, but the engine light is still on after second incident and I'm afraid to drive it now.

I have a 2014 F150 manufactured in 5/2026 and recently had my electronic power assist steering fail. Ford issued recall 14S09 / the federal safety agency 14V‑316. The recall was for F150's made between 5/26/2014 and 6/19/2026 that covered a steering gear motor position sensor magnet that was installed incorrectly. The result of this problem was a failure of the electronic power assist steering. Ford just diagnosed my F150 with an internal binding/failure of the steering gear, but when I searched for the recall using my VIN it wasn't included in the recall. I find this more than coincidental that my truck was manufactured in May of 2014 and just had the same failure stated in the recall.

I am aware this year f150 had issues with steering recall. My model did not come up as recall. However, I twice have had steering issues. On 04/26/24 I had the steering assembly repaired, car went into limp mode while driving. It cost $1,505.45 for the parts and it had to be reprogrammed at dealership $225.00. Total was $2,359.14. Now this week 03/10/2026 the steering is hanging up again and it is in shop. It seems odd my truck was not part of the recall. As longtime Ford buyer and relative of many Ford employees around Detroit, this is disturbing. Especially with STEERING !!!!! I will try to attach prior receipt.

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
