| Description of the problem | I have a 2012 f-150 with 44651. 5 miles on it. Over the past 2 months when i start the truck in the garage the steering makes a terrible noise and when driving there is glitch in the steering off and on. I have taken it to the dealer twice and unable to get it to do this for him. After seeing these statements(complaints) about the problem with steering in the 2012 f-150's i don't feel safe driving mine. The noise occurs when i start the engine and turn the steering wheel however slight, the glitch is felt when driving. |
