while driving at slow and or highway speed limit, while turning to the rightor left, the steering wheel avts as if being hung up?catching onto something. it takes a little harder pull to release it out of the turn causing the vehicle at highway speeds to almost be uncontrollable. This in turn causes myself and others to be put in danger. While searching the internet for possible matches to my situation, I was able to find using AI that multiple other owners/drivers had similiar issues. The fix is either a sensor replacement, gear box replacement, software update or all three with costs ranging from 500-2500 in repairs. No warning lamps/messages/or other symptons have occcurred prior to the incidents. They began appearing a few days ago. It has not been inspected as of yet. I am making an appointment for next week and will further update.

Vehicle had a studdering problem, spark plugs replaced, dealership said the spark plugs were masking an “underlying issue with the transmission shudder and torque converter and transmission was at the end of its life”. The unknown of the state of the transmission is the safety concern to me and others. The vehicle has been inspected by Ed Morse Ford. There was no indication other than shudder on acceleration, until the dealership looked at it. The shudder recently started end of August 2025, and has gradually gotten worse until taking to dealership (October 13 2025)
