Description of the problem	Have had the truck for about a year now originally brought it to the dealership for a knock / pop/ rattle felt and heard through the steering wheel only in the colder weather , they replaced the steering rack . All was fine until the warmer weather hit in new england and 3000 miles later it came back . Took it back to the dealership the mechanic felt the knock/pop/rattle again . They replaced the rack again .. All was fine for about 3-5000 miles and once the really hot weather hit it has come back again and does it in all temperatures . So that is 3 steering racks at 3 different temperatures doing the same thing and ford had the nerve to say its a "normal " characteristic of the vehicle . Thats impossible seeing that each steering rack performs different in different temperatures . Ill also add that the feeling of the steering tightens and loosens with temperature change and when its windy the truck is almost impossible to control on the highway . There is hundreds and hundreds of complaints about this issue and nothing is being done about . I also find it funny how the new 2014 f150s have had a recall on the steering also.
