After the auto start/stop feature engages the power steering does not immediately return. So when i am stopped at a traffic light, stop sign or left turn and the auto start/stop restarts the engine when i release the brake it can take up to 3 seconds for the power steering to reengage. I have had this to the dealer and was advised that this is functioning as designed. The vehicle did not behave this way when i first…

2017 f-150 raptor steering subsystem failure. The steering wheel was forcefully turning itself left and right erratically; up to 90 degree turns very quickly. Very dangerous. I was on high elevation logging roads when this occurred. Overcoming the erratic behavior felt was similar to steering a wheel without power steering. Making turns was near impossible. Failure lights that came up: * low battery features…

When on a complete stop in a traffic intersection, the autostart feature is engaged shutting the engine off. When the left turn light turns green, i take my foot off the brakes and initiate a turn. During this turn, the steering becomes difficult. Here is a link of current complaints: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/auto-stop-power-steering-problem-399937/

Ford motor company documentation (2017 rv & trailer towing guide) states this model of truck, with the ford 3.5l ecoboost engine, can safely tow 11,500lbs (maximum loaded trailer weight). Based on personal experience and consulting multiple trailer towing experts, this is a misrepresentation of the material facts and capabilities of this truck. Additionally, it puts unsuspecting drivers in an unsafe and dangerous…

Loss of steering control during highway driving: when driving around a curve i experience a momentary loss of control of the steering wheel and front end. The steering wheel will actually move to the left without warning causing me to overcorrect to the right to keep the vehicle in the proper lane and direction. The issue is more pronounced going down or up hill around a curve. It also happens on uneven pavement.…

Truck wanders all over the road and requires constant correction no matter the road conditions. Once the vehicle speed reaches over 40-45 mph the steering becomes very difficult. Almost as if the power steering assist is not functioning.

I was sitting in an intersection waiting to turn left across traffic with the engine auto-stopped. I released the brake and immediately tried to turn the wheel and the steering would not allow me to move the wheel. It continued to struggle working intermittently for several seconds. This condition is…
