Typical steering symptoms owners report
- Vehicle pulls or drifts sharply to the right during normal driving, sometimes requiring constant left steering input to stay in the lane.
- Right-pull worsens under acceleration, described by some owners as torque steer that gets stronger with harder throttle.
- Repeated wheel alignments performed by dealers failed to correct the drift, with some owners told the pull was within factory specification.
- Steering wheel locked briefly while turning at low speed, in one case accompanied by the engine shutting off.
- Front tie rod ends and the rack and pinion assembly failed at higher mileage, in one case with a leak found in the steering rack.
- Power steering assist felt weak or inconsistent at low speeds, which one owner linked to a Ford technical bulletin on steering.
