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.

Starting a month or two ago while driving, the power steering on my ford f150 stopped working leading to an inability to turn without using a lot of strength. The issue appears to be relatively intermittent but frequent. This means sometimes i have the ability to steer normally, but more frequently than not i am muscling the vehicle through turns. The only precedence i can find for this issue is a recall on my same…

My truck doesn't want to steer right. It's very hard to steer and sometimes the steering wheel sticks. Heard they are having issues with the electronic steering in these trucks. The vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it's when you are going around a bend. I should not have to pay to get this fixed. This is a major safety issue. It happens everytime i drive.

The power steering has stopped working. There is a loss of steering control and impaired steering. The truck is impossible to drive and a huge safety hazard. We were told by our mechanic after he diagnosed it that this problem was part of a recall. Safety recall notice 14s09/nhtsa recall 14v316. We were then told by the ford dealership that our trucks vin number is not part of the recall. That makes no sense that we…

After hitting bumps in the highway the truck starts to wobble uncontrollably and the only way to get it back is to slow down to 30mph and then the wobble will stop. We have replaced the track bar, stabilizer, brakes and rosters, new tires, and balances.

Initial startup, vehicle is cold. Steering has binding occurring that increases and decreases as the wheel is turned in either direction as i am driving, as it is turned from full left to right, or right to left. It requires substantial force to continue to turn the wheel to get the vehicle to go in the desired direction. As vehicle warms up, the force required to turn the wheel lessens, but still requires…

Power steering is only working intermittently. There was a recall on the model year, but my truck was not included. I see several online complaints about this from other owners that weren't in the recall. I live in a mountainous terrain with windy roads and if the power steering quits when zi don't expect it, i will veer off the road and have to jerk it back on.

The power steering fails without warning. At times it requires 'muscling' the steering to turn or straighten the wheels after a turn. It happens when the vehicle is in motion on city streets, highway and turning. There are a lot of other ford f-150 truck owners having the same problem as reported on different sites. This is a serious safety concern as it causes the driver to potentially lose control of the vehicle…

2014 ford f-150 stx 4 door. I bought this truck new and it's been a problem since around 26,000 miles. I reported the issue with ford, took it to the dealer which went for a 30 mile joy ride i guess to tell me the problem couldn't be duplicated. Absolutely enrages me how this type of product can be sold to hardworking individuals knowing that there's an issue that puts lives at risk and still deny the claims. This…
