2014 Ford F-250 Regular Cab PU/RC 4x4 Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2014 Ford F-250 Regular Cab PU/RC 4x4

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"while driving down the highway at 75 i hit an uneven bump in the road and the vehicles front end started to vibrate and quickly became violent shaking of the trucks front end causing me to lose control of the vehicle and almost cause a major multicar accident on the interstate. i ended up almost hitting the guard rail on the side of the road but everyone was ok. i thought the whole front end came apart and had to get out of the vehicle on the side of the interstate to inspect the front and upon doing so almost got hit by a passing vehicle. after researching this problem i found thousands and thousands of complaints on f-250s for this same issue. it is unbelievable nothing has been done to remedy this problem when it seems it has been a known problem for many years. thank god i didn't but if i would have got hit by the passing car and died my wife and children would have been fatherless because of negligence on ford and them absolutely knowing about this problem and doing nothing about it. in the end my family would have lost a husband/father because he bought a ford. that is just insane to think about being a reality. why is nothing being done about this? is ford paying off the nhtsa to not demand a recall on these trucks? there are thousands and thousands of complaints on this site for this issue. how many does it take or does it take a certain number of deaths before it matters? please someone do something about this!"

Complaint:
"unknown! this is the 2nd ford f250 that i've purchased brand new. i had no clue what the issue was until visiting with fellow ford f250 owners. low and behold, the "ford death wobble". i don't understand why there has not been a recall on this before now. after researching, i've learned there was even a class action lawsuit filed against ford in 2019! what on earth is wrong with ford?! i love my truck, but not enough to continue buying a ford product knowing this is an issue that they don't want to fix!!! i'm so glad i was informed by friends with the same issues and know it's not just "an alignment" issue! shame on you ford for refusing to address or acknowledge this issue!!!!! i pray that i don't have an accident due to the "death wobble" that the ford trucks have.....but at least it is documented that i have the same issues that over 1200 other ford truck owners have experienced and complained about......i wonder how many others are out there that don't know it's called the "death wobble" and they keep returning to have it repaired! i noticed this incident with my truck in 2015! how sad that it took nearly 7 years for me to discover the real issue!"
