| Description of the problem | My electronic steering is overly sensitive at highway speeds and make controlling a trailer under tow very difficult. I am also having issues after turning with the steering not wanting to go straight after the turn. I have to fight the wheel to keep the truck going straight. The wheel requires a counter steer, but there is a large amount of resistance to that counter steer. Once steering figures out i want to go straight the wheel ends up canted slightly to the left or right. I was able to demonstrate this while at the ford dealership using a 2017 test truck as well. So it appears to be an issue that can effect any truck with epas steering. This youtube video is not my truck but it shows exactly what i experienced in my truck and the test truck. Https://www.
