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?

I agree.. convincing themselves something exist or DOES NOT Exist. I would just make sure your truck is an exception before the warranty runs out.

no problems to report....yet
well like i said, im not denying the problem exists. just because i havent experienced it doesnt mean its not there. im simply stating that maybe 100 people have reported a problem on here with EPAS, heck call it 1000 just to be safe. thats what, 0.1% of 2011 - 2012 f150 owners? 0.1 % doesnt mean the whole system is flawed.

I have noticed that a lot of people reporting no issues live in the North.. I see a few from Texas but the majority are in cooler climates. Anyway, I'm taking my truck in for another rack on Monday.

Sorry man.. Maybe it won't get any worse. You can go to f150forumdotcom and click on 2009-Present. It is a sticky thread. See what others have done and are doing. So far everyone gets their gear replaced only for it to come back after a couple thousand miles. I have personally had the gear replaced and will go back for another one this Monday.

I will note that my issue definitely fluctuates with the temperature outside. When the temps are mid 70s to 80s. Problem is faint, almost non-existent. However, when outside temperature is in the 90s. Hold on because your steering is popping all over. Sure it's hotter here in MS than PA.

My truck has this issue real bad.. 2011 5.0 4x4 SC 12,000 miles no mods.. Started at around 5000 miles and much worse when the weather is over 70 degrees. Here in New England last winter it was not bad at all but right now in June it sucks, feeels like I have 150,000 miles on it and worn out ball joints or sway bar bushings etc. but those are all fine and only have 12,000 easy miles on it. Wondering if the steering rack bushings have anything to do with this..just a thought.
