Steering issue
I just got back from a trip going to Hilton Head leaving from Cincinnati, OH area. I must say that my truck with the 3.5 eco boost was great for the trip. Especially with 2 kids in the back and a bed full of beach gear.
The reason for my post is to not talk about how well of a ride it was on the trip. I noticed when going through the mountains in NC and TN that when I was making a left turn that it seemed to almost stick and feel really heavy. I had to bring it back to center. When I made a right turn this was not the case. I checked my power steering fluid but it was at "max" level.
I will also mention that when I was going at slower speeds such as in the city that the steering seemed fine.
I wanted to check and see if anyone has experienced this and if so what was the problem? For reference I have a 2016 Lariat 4x4 with the 3.5 eco boost.
I am going to take it to the dealer as I only have 5k miles on it and still well within the warranty
Thanks

You know the build date? There was a TSB out on steering problems. On early trucks.. But it was for wandering and light steering feel. Mine has no tracking problems but heavy steering at highway speeds..
