2015 F-150 Steering Vibration
Ford service is stumped (useless) to this point....
When the steering wheel is turned slightly I get a vibration that comes
through the steering wheel that feels very much like an out of balance tire(s).
It is not constant and it vibrates in a series of threes with about .25 of a second in between the vibrations. Ford service started by balancing the tires, that wasn't it. Then changed all 4 tires and rims. That didn't do it and has ruled out a tire or rim problem. Now they're stumped.
The vibration is incredibly annoying..... happens when the wheel is turned slightly, series of three vibrations that last about 1.5 seconds separated by .25 of a second in be between series of vibrations. Seems to slowly be getting worse.
Didn't notice it until approx. 2,000 miles on truck.
HELP PLEASE!!!

I only ask because I was in a loaner Platinum that had the LDWS and mistakenly thought is was a steering issue.
The system monitors your position within a lane and warns you through a series of three pulses of vibration through the steering wheel if you wander out of your lane. It does not occur if you use your turn signals prior to lane switching.

Thanks for responding.
2015 and yes it has the LDWS however you must manually activate it if you want it to function. Interestingly I have yet to activate the system. After reading this and taking the truck down the road and back this is not what is causing the vibration unless somehow the system is activating and defective both.
I'm going to "play" with this idea more but I would have to say this is not what's causing it but the vibration could be from the system if that is how it works. Just sending the vibration warning randomly.
I thought the Ford Service folks monitored this section.......................

It is/was indeed the LDW system. Seems the activation switch was
defective and the system was always activated.
Switch replaced, problem solved.
What still bothers me is the service department didn't figure it out without
my help which came from this forum.
