“Engine is the 2.7 Ecoboost and is becoming louder and louder with many ticks and sounds whether you are driving or idling the vehicle at a stop light. Every morning the engine ticks and revs very high and emits huge billowing white smoke from the exhaust whether it's warm or cold outside. Believe the engine is needing to be replaced in the upcoming recall from ford for the exact engine.”Owner report · Engine · Sep 2024

I received an information bulletin from ford about this potential "steering wobble" and made sure to check out all of their recommendations. After doing some research online I feel as though this is a major issue and ford should be doing something before more people are injured or killed.
