1. Take it back to your dealer and scream until it's fixed.
2. Take it to a different dealer
3. Call Ford and tell them your dealer refuses to fix your truck.
4. Fix it your self
5. Sell the truck
6. Live with it.
I'd try 1,2, and 3.
The problem could be anything from a wheel out of balance, a bad tire, a wheel out of round, to a bad steering rack.
Good luck.

Ok thanks. How would I contact Ford? I couldn't find a number.
thanks,

You have six choices..
1. Take it back to your dealer and scream until it's fixed.
2. Take it to a different dealer
3. Call Ford and tell them your dealer refuses to fix your truck.
4. Fix it your self
5. Sell the truck

i had a 5.o 2011 fx4 supercrew that had shudder issues. i wanted to trade it in but i didnt know if i wanted a 5.0 or ecoboost. so the dealer gave me a 2012 ecoboost black supercrew to drive for 3 days so i could make up my mind. well that eco was soooo smooth, no vibration in any gear, quick throotle resonse, a real torque monster. so i took that truck back after 3 days and told dealer to find me a loaded lariat with ecoboost. well 2 days later my truck was at dealer, i took for a quick test drive with salesman in passenger seat. i could tell he was somewhat scared so i was easy on him. truck ran ok but i didnt hit the expressway. so i bought the truck and since then i drive 12 miles each way to work and back on the expressway and the vibration is getting worse. now i'v had 2 trucks that have vibration/shudder.

shudder

Does your seller know that the second also vibrating .
You make me nervous.
I did the road test with vibration detector.
I did a road test with a trailer.
I did a road test on hiway with trailer.
I hope not to find back the vibration with a particular condition I have only 400 km.
Thank you for your testimony

OP read the sticky on the thread about popping feeling in steering related to the 2011-2012. I think you may have our issue. Hard to tell but it may be worth your look.
Please take a look at the stickied thread! It sounds like you definately have the same issue as many of us.
