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.
During the entire time that my grandma had this POS, she complained that the steering wheel turned the radio stations. Thinking that it was maybe time we took her to the doctor, I got in and tried it out. Sure enough, the radio turned channels every time I turned the wheel. I took it to the dealer and they said that it would take 6 days to fix and they wouldnt provide a rental. My apologies to the next person who getis this crap that we got rid of!
