Hey guys.

Just picked up a 2015 XLT sport supercab, 6.5 box with the 2.7 L eco in it. It was a demo model with 7300 kms on it. When I took it out for a test drive around the dealership going over small bumps I could feel a tapping feeling in the steering wheel. Didn't think too much of it. But now that I own it and still feel it. It has become a slight concern.

Took it to the dealership to check out and they said of course, couldn't replicate it and they check out the steering column, suspension etc. Everything looks normal they said.

Does anyone else notice this? Is it just a normal thing? They check for any recalls and there was nothing.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

 

I have a 2.7 also and the same issue. The tapping comes and goes. Post any findings/resolutions please thanks. I have not taken it to the dealership yet

 

I wouldn't say tapping but at hwy speeds the steering wheel has a slight vibration to it

 

Is it possible that you have the "Lane Keeping System" turned on? When activated there is a slight vibration in the steering wheel when the vehicle detects you crossing a line. See page 221 of owner's manual

 

Lane Keeping System is not an option available on an XLT.

 

Hello,

Have you had the chance to speak to your dealership about this concern? Please send a PM to me with your current mileage. I'll see how I can assist.

I have the exact same issue with my 2015 XLT Sport. Dealer said they could not replicate. It is driving me nuts! ... I only have 1,400kms

 

I have 2015 XLT Sport with approximately 2,200 miles. The tapping feeling comes and goes so if I take it to the dealer there's a chance it wont tap.

 

Same issue here. Been to the dealer with it twice already. Will be going again next Tuesday!

 

check for a vacuum hose or breather hose laying on top of the steering u-joints on the steering shaft. When I picked mine up from the dealer it had a hose installed wrong that was rubbing or laying on top of the shaft. It is supposed to go under the shaft. May be flopping around just enough whacking the shaft. Just a guess. I know there was a early steering recall for something on the early build trucks. Mine is XLT.
