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.
Today 09/09/2017 my friend called me as informed me that he saw yesterday 09/08/2017: on the news there was a lawsuit against 2011 Ford Explorer about carbon monoxide emission. The report stated that people were having headaches, were nauseous, etc.., which is exactly the symptoms I am having since roughly a year ago.
On February 2017 I went to see a neurologist as my headaches and nausea were worse. I went through several medical tests and I am taking a prescription for the headaches.
Now I honestly and strongly believe that this problem might be the trigger of the symptoms since I had never been sick like that before.
MY EXPLORER HAS HAD AN EXHAUST SMELL IN THE PASSENGER AREA. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO SEARS AUTO AND FORD DEALER AND BOTH TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, YET I CONTINUE TO SMELL THE EXHAUST WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND UP HILL, WITH MY AC ON. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE I AM NOW SEEING THAT POLICE AND OTHER EXPLORERS ARE HAVING THEM SAME PROBLEM.
