Steering Wheel Vibrates Or Resists Turning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The steering wheel can vibrate or shake as well as resist turning into the next lane when the turn signals are not used to change lanes. This may be a normal operation of the Lane Keeping Assist feature. Determine if the vehicle is equipped with the Lane Keeping Assist feature and educate the customer how the feature is activated, de-activated and properly used. Verify the vibration and turning resistance is no longer present when the Lane Keeping Assist feature is de-activated.
