Also, if i shift into neutral and turn the truck off and back on again, the steering will…

Vehicle shakes violently. Only way to get under control is to stop completely. This has happened numerous times. I have read on forums this is a major problem. Ford needs to recognize the problem and issue a recall. This is very dangerous. *tr
