I was driving at about 45-50 mph and turning left on a large 90 degree curve on the highway and the steering wheel would not return to center without much effort. the truck made a sudden unresponsive move into the oncoming traffic, as i was trying to straighten out the vehicle. i got the truck to respond to a safe area. very dangerous
Experience i guess the they call it the death wobble. makes my vehicle feel like it not me a ting to run right the steering is weird and can't get ford to check it out to see what's going on with it they say just get an alignment but that isn't helping
I drove the truck from home to work and around school zone which is a city street. i pulled over because children were getting out of school when i try to fix the truck to the side walk i turned the steering wheel to align the truck ,all of a sudden it got locked .no one got hit!! but, it was scary. did not expect this to happened. the steering wheel does not turn left or right. so, aaa towed the truck to 15505 roscoe galpin service at north hills so,they can check the problem. i told them it had two recently recalls and they said is has nothing to do with them . and said it's going to cost me 1670 dls. also, the display showed service advanced trac . when it happened.
Tl* the contact owns 2012 ford f-150. the contact stated that while driving at 45 mph the steering assist light illuminated and the steering wheel became hard to turn. the contact was able to control the steering wheel however, extra effort was needed to maneuver the vehicle. the vehicle was driven to the residence. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer to have a diagnostic test performed or to have the vehicle repaired. the manufacturer was contacted. the failure mileage was 146,000.
When vehicle is stopped and the auto start-stop is engaged, moving the vehicle steering wheel becomes very difficult. upon releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle will start and begin to move forward however, the vehicle still is extremely difficult to steer. this difficulty will last for a few seconds until power steering is restored. this problem started intermittently but has now become a regular event.

Steering started getting tight the week of january 20,2020.it does loosen up slightly once you drive it for a few miles but it is not 100%.it is super hard to turn in the morning or after sitting 8 hours while at work. but i estimate it takes driving it about 6 to 10miles before it get easier. i have 73,000 miles on this truck and according to vin. date no recall on steering issue.
As i was pulling out of a driveway the steering wheel locked, and the dash read "service advtraction". once traction control was turned off the steering wheel unlocked.
