2015 Ford F-150: pulls to one side

Filed Sep 12, 2026 · TX

I took my sick disabled mother's truck to the same dealership that she bought the truck from in 2018 with a full cash payment. The truck is a 2015 Ford F-150 platinum edition and it only had 40 thousand miles on it at the time and the person i believe that was over the service department was the first person i talked to at this dealership and i told her that my mother was sick and disabled and on oxygen and we use this truck for her medical transportation to her doctor's appointments and that the truck is our only means of transportation and that i am a burned out full time caregiver in need of urgent help to get the truck fixed and any recalls fixed so the truck would be safe to drive again and she told me its okay and that she has been there before and it made me feel so good to finally have someone that understands how it feels so she immediately had a brand new 2026 Ford F-150 XLT texas edition loaner truck already waiting for me after she said that she could get me in but without a loaner vehicle and she immediately called me back and said she got a loaner for me but i thought it was odd that she managed to get one that fast well to find out the loaner truck was pulled right from their fleet inventory and still had the factory monroe sticker still on the windshield and after awhile i noticed the dealer plates where expired and she arranged the entire process to bring the truck in on August 1st at 8:45am on a Saturday morning to have all of the recalls fixed and any damage or mechanical issues that may have been caused by the recalls and we brought them a very well maintained fully running truck except the engine light was showing because of a violent downshifting after the dealership called and said the truck was completely fixed and running great downshifting fixed. Driving home same day the truck started pouring smoke, sparks, grinding, and slapping barely made it in driveway catastrophic totaled truck sitting at dealership lot since August 12th!!

a)When using the adaptive cruise control on interstate, the cruise control periodically resets to a much lower speed for no apparent reason. I have had the cruise set to seventy-five miles per hour on interstate highways and suddenly the cruise resets to thirty-five or forty-five miles per hour. This could become somewhat dangerous if someone is following me and does not notice the sudden reduction in speed. b)I have encountered problems when using the combined systems. For example, in a long line of vehicles approaching a stop sign, the autonomous systems operated efficiently. When the vehicle immediately in front of me leaves the stop sign, my vehicle attempts to accelerate through the stop sign. c)The lane keeping seems to pull hard to the right at various times. It may be due to the striping at interstate highway exits where to right hand lane marking follows the exit and the vehicle seems to attempt to remain centered between the lane markings. The lane keeping feature is very tiring to operate. The system seems to require operator intervention every minute of two so that the system may assure operator vigilance. This continued need to move the steering wheel slightly is extremely tiring. d)Speed sign recognition identifies school zone speed signs and reduces the preset speed of the vehicle even when the school zone is not active, such as off hours or holidays. This could become somewhat dangerous if someone is following does not notice the sudden reduction in my speed. e)Law requires the vehicle to be at the reduced / posted speed immediately upon passing the sign. Since the vehicle requires a few feet to recognize the change in speed limit and slow down, a traffic ticket may result. This has been reported to Ford and as a result the local dealer aligned the cameras with no resulting change in performance.

The vehicle feels extremely dangerous when driving. Steering drifts, wanders or feels "light" at speeds approximately 25-55 MPH, when changing lanes or turning thru curve in road. The issue occurs every single time I drive the vehicle. It seems to be an issue related to electric power steering (epas), steering angle sensor, and/or software related. It does not feel like a mechanical issue ... Not bad alignment, tire pressure, tire wear, etc. It feels exactly as described here from ford f150 forum: ssm 47589 - 2016-2018 f-150 - steering system pull, drift, and/or wander - diagnostic update some 2016-2018 f-150 vehicles may exhibit a steering drift, pull, and/or wander. To diagnose these conditions refer to pinpoint test (ppt) h - steering system pull, drift, wander or steering wheel is off center in workshop manual (wsm) section, 211-00. Do not use ppt I - poor returnability sticky steering or binding to diagnose drift, pull, and/or wander symptoms. These pinpoint tests are in the process of being updated.

While turning my steering wheel along a curve on a state highway going approximately 40 to 55 MPH, the wheel has to be reset to the center. On youtube a video by chris peterson, called "steering issue in 2016 f150 pulling to left" is identical to my problem. Below under document I downloaded the hyperlink from youtube. This problem continues to happen, I first noticed it this past spring.

My ford f150 sometimes pulls to the left without turning the steering wheel and could possibly cause an accident if you are not aware of the certain pulling to the left.one must pay attention when driving between 30-55 miles per hour. I know it pulls when the road is dry and possibly when it is wet without noticing it. It does it sometimes when turning the vehicle as well.

4wd issues. While driving -goes in and out of full time 4wd for no reason. Becomes hard to steer and often pulls to one side or another. When I want to be in 4wd-a (automatic/awd) it will not allow me to shift back out or it will stay in 4wd-h full time. Even when I come to stop it will not shift out of 4wd despite indicator saying that it has.

As soon as I took delivery of my new 2015 ford f-150, I noticed the steering wanted to pull to the left. This occurred in all driving conditions and required keeping some "right" pressure on the steering wheel to make the truck go straight. Road conditions, weather conditions and vehicle speeds are not a factor. I have taken the truck back to the dealer's service department on three occasions over the past year for this and a couple of other issues. On only one occasion did the service department actually write up the steering issue on the work order because they talked me into purchasing some sort of "kit" that would fix the problem. I brought up the idea that if a "kit" was required to fix the problem, why would it not be covered under the warranty, but they dismissed that idea and I went ahead a paid for the "kit" ($300) and a realignment of the front end ($80). I figured if this would solve the steering issue, which I felt was a safety problem, I would go ahead and pay the money and have done with it. End result: the truck now still pulls to the left about 40% of the time, pulls to the right about 10% of the time and actually goes fairly straight the rest of the time. It seems as though turning corners or even changing lanes can cause the steering to change from pulling to the left to pulling to the right or maybe even going straight. I want to add that the "pulling" is not severe (more like drifting), but it is bothersome and causes me to have a good deal of concern. I have owned many vehicles over the years, but never had one with this sort of a steering issue.
