The reason being is because that is Lane Keeping System not BlueCruise. LKS is assist only. BlueCruise is semi-auto.
yes, i mentioned above, hands still on wheel. not using it as hands free.

Sorry I did a quick read through. It shouldn't jerk like that no matter if the steering was outta wack or not.yes, i mentioned above, hands still on wheel. not using it as hands free.
Makes sense. Going to have it looked at. Wasn’t sure if it could be alignment issue or not.Sorry I did a quick read through. It shouldn't jerk like that no matter if the steering was outta wack or not.
Why ask directly for the alignment? Wouldn’t it be better to explain the issue that it pulls to the right while using lane centering? There is a TSB about software updates for the driver assist on recent models. Although it doesn’t mention your issue directly, it could be the reason as well.I'm still waiting for replacements tires so when I go in for that I will mention to check the alignment.
I think the point was to allow them to tell you that alignment is a possible cause, as opposed to volunteering the solution yourself, which may or may not be the correct one.Yes, I would preface the request for alignment with explaining the lane centering issue, didn't feel the need to explain the details of my plans for the conversation with the service dept.
I've noticed a similar behavior on my new '22 Timberline that I've had for ~6 weeks. Mine doesn't kick out of autopilot centering mode, but it does tend to "hunt" left and right a bit too much for my taste (on perfectly smooth straight highway with good painted lines). Mine isn't too bad, but it is annoying that I have to "fight" it a bit to keep the vehicle from "wagging" down the road. I also noticed that it does not appear to have this behavior going around smooth curves at highway speed, as the steering is very smooth and lane centering is good. I've heard Teslas have a similar "hunting" problem going around curves, but are better on straights. I suspect that the Ford tracking filter/algorithm is a bit underdamped, or that it is not weighting the input from the forward camera quite enough (assuming it is even using the forward-looking camera). Too bad Ford doesn't have a way for customers to provide user feedback on their autopilot algorithm. I think with a few minor refinements, it could be a very good system. I also think their left/right lane biasing algorithm needs some refinement. Hopefully it will improve with a future software update..
