The dealer is telling me its a characteristic of truck which I am not impressed about. What it feels like is at about 20km or 80-90km per hour I can feel a vibration in steering wheel when accelerating. I can only feel it in steering wheel basically in my hand where I am holding wheel.

Has anyone had this issue with there 11 or 12's and is there a fix?

I don't think this is the same issue as everyone is having with the shudder in the ecoboosts....

take your dealer out for a ride in another 2012. If there is no vibration that would be the time to ask him to fix yours.

I did do that, it was an xlt instead of my fx4 though and it didn't do it....I also asked the service manager which wasn't helpful and he said his platinum does the same thing quote characteristic of truck" I don't buy that.

what does everyone think?

For some time I try to warn or prevent people but there are on this site who say that very few people have this problem and what is wrong , but when you do not disburse anything $$$$$ that's not a problem.
I do not hate Ford products I ordered a 2012
but when they say the problem is a product caracteristic would you buy if you had known.

Yep already signed it a while back. Anyone having the exact issue I am having?

I have a 2012 FX4 without a hint of vibration. You should not feel any sort of vibration through the steering wheel. I'm actually impressed at how smooth my truck is and I am VERY annoyed by any type of wheel imbalance type issues or problems with a driveshaft. Have them rotate the tires front to back and see if the vibration changes. If it does not then it's probably not a wheel balance issue, however if it changes then it's most like a bad tire, out of round rim or a wheel balance problem.

Do you have the 20" rims? They tried that with the tires. Anyone know what else it could be?

I do have 20" rims. Does it do it when it's in 4WD?
