While turning my steering wheel along a curve on a state highway going approximately 40 to 55 mph, the wheel has to be reset to the center. On youtube a video by chris peterson, called "steering issue in 2016 F150 pulling to left" is identical to my problem. Below under document I downloaded the hyperlink from youtube. This problem continues to happen, I first noticed it this past spring.

While driving on the highway at multiple speeds the steering wheel seem locked and would not turn until I would release pressure from the current position and then attempt to turn the wheel again. This has happened numerous times, on and off the highway and at all speeds.

My Ford F150 sometimes pulls to the left without turning the steering wheel and could possibly cause an accident if you are not aware of the certain pulling to the left.one must pay attention when driving between 30-55 miles per hour. I know it pulls when the road is dry and possibly when it is wet without noticing it. It does it sometimes when turning the vehicle as well.

I was asked to sign a waiver to drive my vehicle off the lot if I didn't have it repaired their on site so naturally I told them to go ahead & fix it after I told him it sounded like I really had no other choice. & that I couldn't afford to pay for a rent car so he got me a loaner provided by the dealership they had my vehicle for 10 days repairing it. I took my vehicle in because the cruise control & the blue tooth weren't working properly & to get the oil changed. I had to continually press both buttons on the cruise control to get it to work & the blue tooth would not hang up. The service manager told me that if I was to have a head on collision the airbag wouldn't work & he asked if I'd sign a waiver if I drove the truck off of the property.

While driving there is rattling inside of the steering column that started a few months back. Now my alternator seems to not be working properly and the truck will only crank when I have all extras off (radio, ac, etc.) I also have to pump the gas for some reason for it to turn over completely. Otherwise it just dies. Never had a problem until last week when it wouldn't turn over at all. My battery is pulling 13.9 V and I have checked the connections. For a truck to be 3 years old and already need a new alternator appalls me. There is something else going on and the rattling in the steering column is somehow related to me having problems cranking the truck.

F-150

  • 45,000 miles
While driving 70 mph with my cruise control on a smooth, level hwy my cruise control cut off abruptly causing an alarm to sound and a notice to service adv trac came up on my screen. At that moment I also discovered my power steering had failed causing the truck to become very difficult to steer. The rapid deceleration caused the car behind me to have to brake hard and get on the shoulder. Luckily there was no accident. I drove the truck home and called my Ford dealer the next morning and consequently took the car to them. I was informed later that morning that I had had a catastrophic steering failure and that my complete electronic power steering assist (epsa) would have to be replaced to the tune of about $2,000. The truck was delivered new in Jan of 2016 only has 45,000 miles on it and I doubt has ever been off of paved roads. I had no choice but to have it repaired and pay the bill. I contacted Ford to see if I could get some help and basically got a very weak response and of course no action. This failure occurred with absolutely no warning whatsoever and had it happened in traffic or in a more hazardous situation with a physically weaker driver at the wheel there would have almost certainly been a bad accident. After doing some searching I find that this is not an unheard of incident and based on my research would bet Ford is aware of this problem. At this point I'm ashamed that I have put so much faith in Ford and their products in the past.
