Steering Issue

Hey all,
My wife has a '17 F-150 Platinum with 20K on it and the steering is something that seems off to me. Driving anywhere between 10 and 30 mph and going over rolling bumps the steering is really loose and the wheel moves significantly. Nothing harsh over small bumps but seems loose for lack of a better term. It is in the shop today anything I should be asking of the tech???

Thanks.

Yes, tell the tech your concerns. Better yet, show the tech your concerns.

Well, since it’s in the shop, I’m sure the tech will let you know if anything is wrong.

Cross your fingers that it’s not the electric steering rack.

I know this is a long shot but is the vehicle still under the 3 year part of the bumper to bumper warranty?

Nice.

You really should consider purchasing a Ford backed ESP before your factory bumper to bumper warranty warranty expires.
