The 2014 transmission still should be covered under hybrid warranty. I had my friend, who works in a dealer take mine apart a few months ago to do the noisy bearing tsb. I didn't have any problems but since the warranty time is getting short, I wanted it done because I want to keep the car for several more years. It updates the 2013, 2014 and 2015 transmissions to a 2016 model level. There are some bearings to be replaced, different bearing preload to be set, and a new case end cover. In the earlier years, the bearing preload was too tight from the factory and caused premature bearing wear. Mine was actually clean and good inside, no metal on the internal magnet, maybe because I change my fluid every year.

My 2014 is 7 years old, 53k miles. Knock on wood, no issues yet.

My 2015 is 6 1/2 years old (bought in October 2014) with 85K miles. Only problem was an $800 fix (replaced steering column control module). Transmission perfect.

The number of failed transmissions is very small, my 2014 has been 100% perfect.

Take a look at this. "Hybrid continuously Variable transmission" (with poor punctuation) https://help.ford.com/warranty/hybrid-electric-vehicle-unique-component-coverage

On my 2018 the warranty shows 8 year 100,000 mile on unique hybrid components and this should include the HF35 transmission, I think the 14 has the same warranty. I know of a few here who were close to 100k and got it replaced for free after the 5years/60k hopefully someone else will chime in on that. But with it being a 14 you would still only get 1 more year of warranty, I personally would try and find a 2017 up car, unless the 2014 is super cheap.
