Steering Column problems of the 2015 Ford F-150

While driving, a slight rattle in the steering was noticed. The last two days, starting on June 5, 2018, the steering wheel was noticeably loose with lots of axial movement in the steering shaft within the steering column cover. It is getting exponentially looser every trip. In a short time, this will not be safe or possible to drive. The state inspection in new hampshire will not likely pass this as it is now. It is disappointing and will likely be very expensive to have fixed. The manufacturer should cover this kind of failure, especially at 37,000 miles. I would simply like a diagnostic at a Ford dealership, at no cost to me, with the list of parts with corresponding Ford part numbers which I will need to replace when I tear this down. If they would like to repair it for me, even better. I first noticed this problem while driving east, approximately 50mph on nh state highway 101 in amherst, nh. When looking at it again in the parking lot today, the wheel is noticeably wobbling by feel and by eye. It is within my best interests to fix this as soon as possible.

The panoramic sunroof locked up on me when I tried to open it. . . It would not open and it makes obnoxious noises under normal driving conditions . . . There are many you tube videos on this ref. Issue. . . Ford is replacing the parts to the sunroof, I have read on many Ford forums that this �quick fix� will not correct the problem . . . Additionally the steering column always feels like it's positioned off center and veers to the right. . . I had the truck aligned, problem still exists. . . Also I've had reoccurring issues with my sync/bluetooth and have advised my service advisors that the problem still exists, when I talk to anyone via the bluetooth I hear loud intermittent static throughout the phone call and the folks on the receiving end of the call all say that there is an echo in the phone line forcing me to end the handsfree sync call and therefore using my own bluetooth. . . Ford service advisor stated it was because I have an apple iphone, I'm less than satisfied about how Ford is handling this issue. . . I have complained more than 3 times on record about this issue.
