2012 GT TSB for EPAS?

I have noticed a shake in mine at highway speeds, as if a tire is out of balance. However, even with new tires and re-balancing, it still vibrates. I also only drive mine in SPORT mode on the TCS (putting the EPAS to SPORT by default). You guys may feel more in the normal mode since it is not supposed to feel as "heavy" in the wheel.
The lane changing thing would scare the crap out of me. Glad mine doesn't do that (at least not yet).

I have mine set to Comfort setting. So it seems between all of us, we have all of the EPAS settings covered and there is a vibration or wobble on all of them.

I've had the same problem with my 2011 since the day it was brand new. I have tried having the dealer look at it at least half a dozen times and everytime they tell me that Ford does acknowledge that the problem even exists so there is nothing can do except hand me back the keys and wish me luck. The severity of the shaking varies with different Traction Control modes and is EXTREMELY violent on hard braking; which I found out the hard way when someone cut me off in traffic. I'm not certain if it is in the EPAS system itself of more likely something hardware related that EPAS ans Traction Control are hiding in Normal mode. If you get any sort of solution, please PM me and let me know; 2 1/2 years has been more than long enough to deal with this problem in an otherwise amazing car....

Ford came out with a TSB with the GT500 with a similar problem and was fixed with a software update. You would think they could come out with a software update (if that is the problem) with the GT.

I pulled those from the Ford's service system. Most people post the TSB's themselves to the public. www.safercar.gov will also have a list of recalls and tsb's on it.
