Agreed. No issue with the epas on my truck either. 2011 EB Dearborn built. 9900 miles. I had a hard time getting used to the feel, or lack thereof, but no mechanical problems to speak of.

Well this might be good news for me and the other people with this issue. If it is not normal, than it should be easy to fix. Maybe third rack/gear will be the charm for me. As far as your observation regarding forums. For me, mechanical issues either exist or they don't. Almost all of the people whom have posted on this topic have reported the issue and been assigned a case number. Not quite sure why owners of new vehicles would spend valuable time and effort trying to get a non-existent issue resolved. Just not logical.. BTW, racinwarrior.. Do you drive an Ecoboost F150?

After about 1600 miles or so the rack/gear pops and rattles when going over small bumps. DON'T buy 2011 greater F150 with EPAS. Ford needs to fix this issue. Below are tons of owners with this problem. If you call customer service and they tell you they haven't heard of this problem, this is a lie. Major issue and for all potential buyers beware. I only have 8000 miles on my truck. Have had two racks and steering column replaced. Issue went away immediately after new rack was installed but after several thousand miles.. It returned.

I had thought that when I was reading the initial rant, but forgot to put it in my post.
