The '25 models have the improved CV's, we just won't know for a while just how good the fix is because the failure problems take several thousands of miles to happen.

Thanks, Waterick! Much appreciated.

For a CV axle problem to manifest itself as early as 5000 miles would be unusual, especially for an EcoBoost. Symptoms often include: Clicking at low speeds (like parking lots) while turning hard, steering wheel vibration/shake, knocking/vibrating during acceleration or certain speeds and eventually getting so bad you're afraid to drive it. Remove your under shield and inspect your CV joints for boot failure/grease loss. CV failure early on will not usually be symptomatic just cruising down the road. I would check other things like the tires at this point. Does sound like a broken (tire) belt, have a tire pro (dealer?) look at it.
Edit: as you already had the tires checked/rotated, I might revisit that inspection and get a second opinion depending on who did it. You have no feel for which corner seems to be bumping? If it is tire related, should have changed with the rotation.

I'll make sure I check the boots next oil change.
