NHTSA Complaint #11623954 — 2017 FORD F-250

After driving for a short distance in my 2017 F250 Diesel (75k miles) I pulled into a store. Turned off truck. Upon return and starting truck I got a dash alert that said Adaptive Steering Fault Service Required. When I began to drive I noticed my steering wheel was turned left to the 10 o’clock position while driving straight down the road. I drove to the dealer as I felt my batteries were sluggish at starting and needed both replaced. Luckily batteries were covered but dealer said I need new Battery Cable Harness for $4596.59! I did some research and found the Adaptive Steering Fault is a known issue with several people as is the Battery Cable Harness. I also read where a voltage issue can cause the Adaptive Steering Fault alert which is why I mention the wire harness. I’ve also known others with the battery cable issue and there is a recall on other years not mine. The dealer wants $465.88 just to diagnose the adaptive steering so who knows what cost would be to replace at this point. This all is extremely dangerous as I don’t know if the adaptive steering controls will decide to start working and adjust my steering while driving causing an accident. There have been recalls on both issues but not my model and year. Truck is currently at dealer and I filed complaint with Ford Consumer to no resolution at this point.
