as I'm the only one who has driven it I know I haven't hit anything. Has anybody had wheel alignment issues? I'm taking it over to a ford dealer tomorrow for an alignment.

No it should be good from the dealer. Take it in.

OK, so, you noticed it " handled funny" when you test drove it. But you bought it anyway and now are complaining. Did you happen to mention this to anyone at the dealership before purchase? What is "handled funny"? What are you comparing it to?

As the BS is essentially a front wheel drive vehicle, the transition from a rear-wheel-drive vehicle will initially make one feel like there may be something wrong.
I have a Bronco and my wife has a Bronco Sport. When I drive the Sport I notice/feel a decidedly different "feel" in the steering wheel. I know from experience that this is normal.

Hello, Danny! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this alignment concern? Thank you!

Several posters here have reported their vehicles were misaligned from the factory.

Misaligned or out of balance tires. While driving did you notice if the Bronco pulls to one side on flat roads? You do not mention what specifically makes you say it handles "funny".

VIN NO.3FMCR9C83RRE45409. I have an appointment with Jones Verde valley Ford in Cott I bought the car at Steve Coury Ford here in Star Valley, AZ. I called them first and they told me their alignment rack is down and they won't have a replacement until August. I have to go to Scottsdale at the end of this month and I didn't want to drive it that far. Thank you, Danny Phillips.

The rear toe was out from the factory on my vehicle. It drove just fine on the highway but was definitely noticeable that something was a bit off when going over bumps.

It goes down the road straight it's when I'm changing lanes. I took it to a ford dealer today and my tires were over inflated by 12-25 pounds. The lane assist had been turned on that was causing the shudder in the steering wheel. I drove it home and it seemed to drive fine. I did make them put in on the alignment rack and it was in spec. When I first drove it when changing lanes, I would turn the wheel a little bit then it would keep turning rather swiftly to one side or the other. That was my main concern.

This vehicle has quite a bit of torque steer. If you're accelerating as you're changing lanes, you'll definitely feel it! You'll get used to that little quirk pretty quickly and learn to compensate for it.

I took it over to Ford today and the tires were over inflated, also the lane assist was turned on. Turned it and it drove fine on the way home, the alignment was in spec.

It has been reported on this forum that they over inflate the tires for transport, and the dealers often don't lower them to spec. when they sell them. My wife's Hyndai beeps and shows a red line on the display when you get out of your lane without turning on the turn signal. I thought it was odd to feel the shudder until I figured out what it was.

It's definitely no torque steer, I have had several front wheel drive vehicles. Ford got it straightened out.
