CarComplaints.com Notes: The NHTSA's complaint data shows potentially scary power steering problems with the 2011 Ford Explorer.
The steering complaints are pretty serious - owners report the power steering cuts out while driving. The NHTSA opened an investigation into the power steering problems in June 2012, which lead to a recall in 2014. However years later, many 2011 Explorer owners report this defect is still occurring.
It's too bad because the 2009 & 2010 Ford Explorer are solid, trouble-free model years.
wipers won't turn off
Wipers In off position , but keep on slowest delay setting.
6 hours driving home from Florida with the freaking wipers going every 20 sec.
I pulled fuse, it helps in short term, seems to reset .
After wiper used again, problem returns.
Dealer wants $300 to replace multifunction switch.
May just order one on-line and try to replace myself.
Ford says they have never heard of this before, but I have found others on line.
