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.
Transmission shudders and vehicle doesn’t move for a 3-5 seconds when shifting into reverse. The problem seems to be getting worse. The transmission was previously repaired under CPO warranty for shift problems that reduced MPG to 16.

It went pretty smooth getting it fixed. The 4th and OD wasn't engaging.
