2017 FORD F-150 Steering Problems

I purchased a 2017 F150 in March of 25’. Miraculously no issue started until approx 4000 miles after the purchase. The dealer warranty was good for 3500. In the months that preceded issue after issue began to arise. First and least important in my personal opinion. I get in my truck to head to work and my sliding back glass is laying in backseat, completely intact with the track it slides on. One would initially think the GA sun maybe warmed the adhesive to such a Temp that it came loose but my truck is parked in the shade every day at work & at home. Insurance won’t cover it because they say it’s on Ford. Next I have lost power steering, when loosing it i have apparently lost all of steering, uphill downhill assistance an approx 10 other warnings that come every time i crank it. I have been...

First experienced slight steering weaving for a week. Then electric power steering assist completely went out. $2,450 bill to replace. This issue has been to common with F150's and should be a recall fix for free issue. Requesting assistance

The mounting bolt for the lower control arm at the driver's front wheel sheared off causing the mounting on the frame to tear away completely. Wheel came off axis and loss of steering.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality, and the vehicle was difficult to maneuver. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the power steering electronic module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring increasingly. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The contact related to the failure of the Customer Satisfaction Program: 24S45. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

This is a MAJOR issue with Ford F150s. I am not sure how this was never a recall. Ford issues a TSB for this but NOTHING is the TSB fixes the issue. There is a major fault in the IWE system that causes the 4x4 to engage randomly causing the truck to have major steering issues. It causes grinding, like metal on metal grinding, the steering wheel locks in place at times and I personally almost dies several times from this.The locking steering wheel caused me to crash into a ditch because I could not bring the steering wheel back to center. This has randomly happened to me several times while driving, The TSB claims the issue to be intermittent, which it is due to the fault in this IWE system. FOrd needs to literally cover and replace the entire IWE system before someone gets hurt. Please look this up,...

This first began when we went to Oregon from dry Central Valley in California and hit rain. Multiple error messages appeared: Service Advance Trac, Check 4x4, Hill Assist Not Available, ABS, Steering Assist Fault, etc. Power steering assist was lost and is now intermittent which creates a dangerous situation. The ABS brakes made load groaning noises. I went to O’Reilley’s and used their OBD2 scanner. It showed codes: U1012-00, U0212-00, U0121-00, P062C-00, all being communication errors. I got a new battery and had a shop scan it. The clockspring was bad so it was replaced with an OEM from Sunrise Ford. He can’t get any communication with any of the other modules. I researched the issues and disconnected the battery while I cleaned the ABS controller connection with electrical contact cleaner. I checked some of the grounding points that weren’t checked by the shop. All of the error messages are...

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 50-55 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The Hill Assist warning light and the power steering assist warning lights were illuminated. The contact's wife was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with rack and pinion failure; however, the part to do the repair was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

After driving at highway speed, 75-80 MPH for about 6 hours, the steering felt heavy, minor steering input resulted in major directional changes. The steering direction felt locked in that minor turn position and required significant effort over what was normal to return the direction to straight and that action caused a dramatic directional change. Upon my return home, I had the vehicle inspected by the dealer, Kelly Ford in Melbourne Florida and they could not identify or duplicate the problem. I have significant experience in vehicle operation, including being a Certified Emergency Vehicle Operations driving instructor and this condition was extremely dangerous. Controlling the vehicle, keeping it in a lane and recovering from navigating curves in the road was a significant challenge. There were no notifications of an issue displayed on the dashboard before, during or after the event. The problem was not an issue at lower speed, below...

While driving steering gets locked

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became abnormally stiff, making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with electronic power steering failure. The vehicle was being repaired. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 97,215.

I WAS DRIVING AT 70MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE STEERING BECAME STIFF AND VERY UNSTABLE THAT I ALMOST CRASHED, IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY (MY WIFE AND MY 2 DAUGHTERS)

while driving i went to turn into a driveway of a busy restraint and the steering assist stopped working and i almost lost control of the vehicle. this i notice has been reported a lot as well as complained about online it is apparent nothing is going to get done to make ford fix it even if someone gets killed, how can this not be a safety issue $$$ something needs investigated $$$ maybe even the $$$ investigators $$$ claiming there is$$$ no problem.

The power steering failed while driving. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer service shop. The dealership has said that there is over 400 vehicles with the same issue. The dealership confirmed that it's a steering box issue.

while driving on freeway comming to a slight curve the steering wheel began to try and turn back to straight fighting me , then after exiting i went to turn it began to bind in the turn and now feels funny checked the links and the steering shaft ujoints there all good

THE TRUCK WILL PULL TO LEFT THEN TO RIGHT . SEEMS. TO STEER HARD .THE DEALER HAS REPLACED TWO STEERING RACKS IN MY TRUCK .WORKES WELL FOR A SHORT TIME I HAVE ONLY 27000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK . IF YOU YOU GOOGLE. THIS PROBLEM YOU CAN READ THE COMPLAINTS FOR 2013 TO 2019 F150 SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.THANK YOU THE DATES THAT THE DEALER PUT IN NEW STEERING RACK WAS 4-20-21 AND 3 -22 -22. THE DEALER HAS BEEN GOOD TO WORK WITH .IT IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. THANK YOU

My steering seemed to be jerking. I had "the works" done at the dealership. They did not note any issue during inspection. I was driving my granddaughter and her friend to the mall. While going around a turn my wheel locked up. I was able to jerk it hard to the opposite side to avoid the oncoming vehicles. I was able to pull off the road and called for a tow. I have several friends who own the same type of vehicle, Ford f150, say they have had similar issues. Mine is a 2017 ecoboost supercab.

Electric power steering assembly unexpectedly fails resulting in increased risk of injury or fatality from collision.

The power steering abruptly stopped working while driving after two violent jerks to the left on the steering wheel. I was able to maintain my lane travel thankfully but it was a close call

The truck uses start stop technology. When you start to move after it has stopped the power steering does not start working initially making turns nearly impossible. Once the power steering builds pressure it returns to normal steering. This has occurred multiple times and seems to get worse as the truck ages.

The ABS and Traction Control lights came on. Then out of no where the Power Steering just stopped working.

I was making a turn on a curve in the roadway and truck lost power steering, causing me to fight the steering to keep it in my lane so I didn’t hit the car in the other lane around the curve. Call dealership and I was informed that that it would be over a week or so before they can even schedule me in for an appointment. Took to another shop and they said racks piñon. Be said it could be power steering control module’s

The electric power steering system can take up to 10 seconds to turn back on after the auto start/ stop function restarts the engine. The truck has done it intermittently since new, but now has started to do it more often. It has caused me a few close calls making right-hand turns. I start to take off only to find I have no steering assist and either have to manually steer the truck or stop and wait in the middle of an intersection for it to turn on. last week this caused me to run wide into the turn lane for the lane I was turning into, thankfully it was not occupied at the time or it could have caused an accident. Since it is not repeatable, and there are no warning/trouble lights the dealer is of no use. I asked when the truck was under warranty was told they...

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering became difficult to turn. The contact stated the track assist and the hill descent warning lights were illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the gear assembly to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending the repairs. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,926.

Steering keeps on vibrating… feels like the whole truck is bouncing. Have done multiple alignments, rotates, balances, tire replacement and nothing has worked the steering gets very stiff around 70-80 mph and rides smooth then bumpy over and over , riding bumpy most of the time it’s on and off and it has nothing to do with what speed I go above 65-70 mph making me swerve and jerk the truck repeatedly. Also truck tends to vibrate obnoxiously at an idle almost like it’s going to die on me, I noticed this happening in drive when I come to a stop it stutters and almost dies… it has died 3 times on me now and have got 1 check engine light that has disappeared.thinking this may have something to do with the steering vibrations.

Steering Assist was once again disabled within a week after the last incident with Steering Assist Caution advisory. This time it almost caused an accident. Steering malfunction happened right at the moment while making a left turn at the inside lane of an intersection. While the steering wheel was turned left to negotiate the turn, the steering became stiff and made the vehicle encroached on the outside lane. Applied brake immediately and forced steered vehicle back to inside lane.

Power steering becomes non-functional and " Steering Assist Fault Service Required" warning is displayed. Happened three times, twice within (Odometer reading) 44410 miles and again at 44951 miles. The vehicle is difficult to steer and can cause accidents especially during high speed on highways. The problem eventually goes away after letting the car rest with engine turned off for a while. The malfunction does not produce fault code and dealer is not able to troubleshoot/replicate.

TRUCK LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE. AND THEN I GOT MESSAGE HILL START ASSIST FAILURE, ADVANCE TRAC FAILURE, ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. ALL THIS WHILE IN MOTION AT INTERSTATE SPEED.

VERY DANGEROUS WIRING DESIGN. WIRE HARNESS TOO CLOSE TO ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, TURBO - AS RESULT - MELTED WIRES. TIN FOIL DID NOT PROTECT FROM MELTING. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON 75 INTERSTATE - VEHICLE LOOSES POWER STEERING, CRUISE CONTROL AND THROWS FAULTY OVERHEAT. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER ABOUT IT - WAS GIVEN RUN AROUND. *TR

THE STEERING GETS STIFF AFTER STEADY DRIVING OF 80 TO 150 MILES. I HAD IT CHECKED AT A FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL FOR THE PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THE DEALER OFFERED NO OTHER EXPLANATION OR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND ONLY STOPS AFTER THE VEHICLE RESTS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE DATES ARE FROM SEPT. 2018 UNTIL NOW. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM ENTERPRISE LEASING.

AFTER THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE ENGAGES THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY RETURN. SO WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR LEFT TURN AND THE AUTO START/STOP RESTARTS THE ENGINE WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 SECONDS FOR THE POWER STEERING TO REENGAGE. I HAVE HAD THIS TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT BEHAVE THIS WAY WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION REQUIRE A RAPID RESTART AND TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND BECAME INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SHETLER-CORLEY MOTORS LIMITED (623 N PARKERSON AVE, CROWLEY, LA 70526, (337) 783-4600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING WHEEL RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-24558242-22D9K7. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

STEERING WENT OUT SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. TRUCK STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT RETURN AFTER A TURN .THE STEERING RACK WAS EXTREMELY HARD AND NOTCHEY. WAS HARD TO MAINTAIN ON THE ROAD, TRUCK WAS SWERVING SIDE TO SIDE. TRUCK WAS PARKED AND TOWED.AS IT WAS UNSAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. .

WENT TO GROCERY STORE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. CAME OUT OF STORE AND STARTED TRUCK AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. ALONG WITH ERROR MESSAGES ON DISPLAY READING: SERVICE ADVANTRAC, HILL ASSIST FAULT, POWERSTEERING ASSIST FAULT, ALSO HAVE ABS LIGHT ON AND CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING. STEERING IS VERY HARD TO TURN AND MAKES TRUCK VERY UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE.

2017 F-150 RAPTOR STEERING SUBSYSTEM FAILURE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FORCEFULLY TURNING ITSELF LEFT AND RIGHT ERRATICALLY; UP TO 90 DEGREE TURNS VERY QUICKLY. VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS ON HIGH ELEVATION LOGGING ROADS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. OVERCOMING THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR FELT WAS SIMILAR TO STEERING A WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING. MAKING TURNS WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. FAILURE LIGHTS THAT CAME UP: * LOW BATTERY FEATURES TEMPORARILY TURNED OFF * STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED * TERRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAULT * LANE KEEPING SYS. MALFUNCTION SERVICE REQUIRED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY FORD LINCOLN OF RICHMOND (10601 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, RICHMOND, VA 23235, (804) 293-2212) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST CODES WERE LOCATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR AND THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. ALSO, DURING ANOTHER VISIT, ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AND THREE ALIGNMENTS WERE PERFORMED BETWEEN DEALER VISITS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO A REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS RELUCTANTLY CHECKING THE STEERING AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT, LANE ASSIST, HILL ASSIST, LANE KEEPING IT, BRAKING ASSIST HAVE ALL STOPPED WORKING. ABS LIGHT IS ON AND I AM GETTING MULTIPLE SENOR WARNINGS.

TRUCK WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION NO MATTER THE ROAD CONDITIONS. ONCE THE VEHICLE SPEED REACHES OVER 40-45 MPH THE STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. ALMOST AS IF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS NOT FUNCTIONING.

FRONT END SHIMMY / WOBBLE AT 55 MPH AFTER HITTING BUMP IN ROAD

JUST DROVE FROM LOUISIANA TO TEXAS TO COME TO WORK OFFSHORE.ALONG THE WAY I GET A MESSAGE ON DASH.STEER ASSIST FAIL,ABS LIGHT,HILL ASSIST FAIL AS WELL.NOTHING FEELS STRANGE SO I KEEP DRIVING TO MAKE IT TO WORK AT 2 AM.STOP FOR GAS,START TRUCK AND HAVE NO POWER STEERING.NO REPLIES FROM ANY DEALER AROUND TO HELP INCLUDING DEALER BACK HOME,I WILL EITHER BE FORCED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED.APPARENTLY FORD KNOWS SOMETHING BUT DEALERS ARENT SAYING A WORD

WHEN ON A COMPLETE STOP IN A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, THE AUTOSTART FEATURE IS ENGAGED SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN THE LEFT TURN LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES AND INITIATE A TURN. DURING THIS TURN, THE STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT. HERE IS A LINK OF CURRENT COMPLAINTS: HTTPS://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/AUTO-STOP-POWER-STEERING-PROBLEM-399937/

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE AUTOMATIC STOP/START FEATURE AND FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTS BACK UP AFTER BEING STOPPED- THERE IS NO STEERING CONTROL

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ON I-15 IN UTAH AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, TRAVELING OVER AN OVERPASS BRIDGE TO THE TRANSITION TO THE HIGHWAY AND HITTING THE BUMP THE FRONT WHEELS AND RELATED SUSPENSION INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY,..A CONDITION HISTORICALLY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS DID NOT CEASE UNTIL REDUCING SPEED TO BELOW 50 MPH. MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 10,141. VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. AFTER A TIRE ROTATION AND INSPECTION FINDING NO VISABLE ISSUES THE VEHICLE STILL CONTINUES TO UNEXPECTEDLY/RANDOMLY EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS ONLY AT HIGHER HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ONLY AFTER TRAVELING OVER A TRANSITION OR ROUGH PAVEMENT TYPICALLY ASSICIATED WITH AN OVERPASS BRIDGE.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS STOPPED DUE TO THE AUTO-START-STOP FEATURE. I WAS SITTING IN AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC WITH THE ENGINE AUTO-STOPPED. I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND THE STEERING WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE THE WHEEL. IT CONTINUED TO STRUGGLE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS CONDITION IS VERY REPEATABLE. IF THERE IS ANY PRE-LOAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE AUTO-START RESTARTS THE ENGINE, IT TAKES THE STEERING SEVERAL SECONDS TO BECOME ACTIVE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I'M GIVING THE TRUCK GAS TO GO INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND THE STEERING IS EFFECTIVELY DISABLED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I'VE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD ESCALATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK BACK IN FOR MAINTENANCE SINCE THAT COMPLAINT AND NO CORRECTIVE...

FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOCUMENTATION (2017 RV & TRAILER TOWING GUIDE) STATES THIS MODEL OF TRUCK, WITH THE FORD 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE, CAN SAFELY TOW 11,500LBS (MAXIMUM LOADED TRAILER WEIGHT). BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND CONSULTING MULTIPLE TRAILER TOWING EXPERTS, THIS IS A MISREPRESENTATION OF THE MATERIAL FACTS AND CAPABILITIES OF THIS TRUCK. ADDITIONALLY, IT PUTS UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS IN AN UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION.

STEERING CONTROL TEMPORARILY LOST WHEN DRIVING

LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING: WHEN DRIVING AROUND A CURVE I EXPERIENCE A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL ACTUALLY MOVE TO THE LEFT WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING ME TO OVERCORRECT TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE PROPER LANE AND DIRECTION. THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED GOING DOWN OR UP HILL AROUND A CURVE. IT ALSO HAPPENS ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE 2017 TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 8K MILES AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER TWICE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. IT IS ALSO MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN TOWING A TRAILER WHICH CAUSES SERIOUS CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. THE LOSS OF CONTROL HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 45MPH ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

DEFLECTOR FORD PART NUMBER 8327 TORE AND IS RUBBING AGAINST POWER STEERING AND TRANSMISSION COOLANT HOSES AT 19,127 MILES. FORD SAYS THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

VEHICLE HAS DANGEROUS ERRATIC AND INCONSISTENT STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS. PULLING, WANDERING, EASY TO STEER THEN VERY HARD STEERING. DIFFICULT AND MUCH EFFORT TO CORRECT STEERING AND STAY IN LANE.

. LAST SUNDAY I GOT A 2017 F150 XLT STUCK IN A SMALL TWO FOOT SNOW DRIFT. ONCE I GOT STUCK I TRIED ROCKING THE TRUCK, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM FORWARD TO REAR WARD WITHOUT THE TRUCK COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT A FAULT WARNING FOR THE LIMITED SLIP DIFF. THE WARNING FOR THE POWER STEERING, THE ABS, THE PARKING BRAKE, THE HILL DESCENT, HILL START ASSIST, PARK ASSIST WARNING (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE), ADVANCED TRACK WARNING (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) AND 4X4 LOW. ADDITIONALLY THE TRUCK WOULD SHIFT IN AND OUT OF 4 HIGH, BUT NOT 4 LOW. IN 4 HIGH NO TIRES WOULD MOVE. IN TWO HIGH ONLY THE LEFT REAR TIRE WOULD SPIN. BECAUSE OF DARKNESS AND GRIZZLY BEAR I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MORNING TO WALK OUT FAR ENOUGH TO GET CELL RECEPTION. THE TEMP NEVER...

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE CRUISE SET AT 70 MPH HIT A COUPLE SMALL PATCH SPOTS AND THE THE STEERING WHEEL WENT CRAZY JERKING AROUND LIKE I HAD A BLOWOUT. I MERGED TO THE APRON OF THE INTERSTATE TO SLOW AND STOP. WHEN I WAS ALMOST STOPPED THE JERKING QUIT. I NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT TO THEM THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I STARTED RESEARCH MYSELF AND THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS A DEATH WOBBLE. VERY DISAPPOINTING FROM A NEW TRUCK WITH 8000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS OUT THERE OF THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE KILLED.
