At a glance

Next to other model years
Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2014 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
Top problem
Two problems run close. Suspension has 89 complaints and death wobble has 77, out of 164 in all. A quarter of the 54 owners who gave a mileage for suspension saw it by about 55,000 miles, and half by about 80,000.
Crash, fire and injury reports
5 of the 164 complaints (3%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, a little under the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 4 reports mention a crash, 1 mentions a fire and 2 people were hurt.
Recalls behind the top problems
Death wobble has a recall on the same system (20E-090). Suspension has none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
When owners filed
Filings peaked in 2019 at 31 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 8. So far in 2026, 3 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.

        How this compares

        2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty164
        Median 2014 model here (95 vehicles)304
        Median 2014 pickup here (8)502

        164 complaints is 1.9 times fewer than the median 2014 model on this site and 3.1 times fewer than the median 2014 pickup. Among the 9 F-250 Super Duty model years here it ranks 8th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.

        Service bulletins for the 2014 Ford F-250 Super Duty

        Electrical · model years 2011 to 2015

        Vehicle commanded engine shutdown. Closed mar 15, 2016, led to recall 15V-175.

        NHTSA summary
        The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this RQ to investigate allegations that the scope and remedy of safety recall 13V-535 were inadequate. Recall 13V-535 was limited to a relatively small population of Ambulance Package vehicles and ODI received complaints of pickup trucks and Fire Engine Prep Package vehicles being affected by the same defect. Ford manufactured approximately 555,985 subject vehicles between February 22, 2010 and January 30, 2015 that may be affected by defective EGT sensors and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software calibration. The subject vehicles are equipped with four (4) EGT sensors to monitor engine operating conditions. An EGT sensor fault may produce false exhaust over-temperature signals. If these signals are produced, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) implements a Failure Management Effects Mode (FMEM) and the driver receives a Stop Safely Now (SSN) system warning on the instrument cluster message center. The FMEM triggers a 70% reduction in available engine power over a period of no more than 45 seconds, during which it may not be possible to accelerate or maintain vehicle speed. The PCM then commands the engine to shut down when vehicle speed reaches approximately 1 mph. There is no immediate restart capability. Depending on the PCM software calibration, ignition key position and ambient temperature conditions, the engine may not restart until the end of a 10-60 minute cool down period.Ford and its component supplier(s) made nume

        Steering

        Icon Vehicle Dynamics, LLC (Icon) is recalling all 05-UP FSD 2.5 Centerline Stabilizer Kits with part number 65050. The kits were sold as an accessory for certain 2005-2021 Ford F-250 4X4 and F-350 4X4 pickup trucks. The foam ring inside the stabilizer "through shaft" may block the piston ports, possibly causing the steering to lock up.

        Risk and remedy
        Risk: If the steering locks, it can increase the risk of a crash.
        Remedy: Icon will notify owners, and dealers will install a new shock assembly with a revised foam ring and steel support disc, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2020. Owners may contact Icon customer service at 1-951-689-4266.
