 Description of the problemThe truck has been to the dealership 4 times now for a small grinding noise and hard steering. The original thought was the transmission module. After a 1 month backorder on the part, the grinding noise went away, but the steering still felt stiff. It was as if the steering wheel was fighting me to go back to center. While driving straight, the truck lunges left or right depending on the most previous turn i performed. The rear end juts coming out of 4th gear as if the transmission has no clue what gear it should be in around 30 mph. It is the absolute worst when the engine on/off system is engaged. Coming out of a stop, it is like there is zero power steering. I feel like this should be a fluid response (foot off brake onto accelerator, turn wheel, and enjoy the ride). What you feel instead is like trying to twist your ulna and radius bones 360 degrees on axis - the truck doesn't like it. Bottom line is the truck feels dangerous. I personally do not want to be one of the unfortunate statistics seemingly necessary to start a recall. I want ford motor co to see all the complaints and man to fix an obviously flawed system.
