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.
I paid $50k for this car and only after 77k miles I am having to put another grand into it to fix the rear wheel bearings that have went bad already. This is the first vehicle I have ever had to replace Wheel bearings before 150k miles.
