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 could tell there was something wrong. I could hear more wind coming in. I like to sit in car in quiet, which is how I could tell.
I was driving 70+ on expressway when this happened. It freaked me out - I didn't know what happened. I thought it was my tire or something. Had to pullover to see what happened. And that is dangerous altogether also.
We are also motorcycle riders and we just thought f***ing scary and dangerous. Can you imagine something like that coming and flying towards your face? OMG
