Description of the problem	A vibration sporadically occurs in the steering wheel when idling mostly but not only. At first i thought it was related to the a/c unit but it happens whether on or off. Temperatures are not affected on gages. I believe this was why the vehicle only had 55,000 miles on it when i bought it in 2018. The vibration occurs when moving or stationary when it happens its seems completely random. It has been happening noticeably for about a year now. At least noticeably. Probably unrelated but the vehicle has always had something a little off about the engine when i bought it. It seemed a little louder than it should be and not as smooth i thought it should have been. So it might been an issue the whole time but becoming more noticeable. When it happens it usually happens for 30 seconds to a minute but has lasted longer. Once it wouldn't go away at all until i turned the car off and restarted it. I took it into a ford dealership about 4 months ago and explained the issue not as well as i am now since more time has passed and thought maybe it was a trottle body valve issue i read about and they said no there is no issue with that. Reading forums it sounds like it might be related to the power steering control. It is causing the steering wheel to vibrate so maybe it is a power steering issue.
