While backing out of parking spot, my steering wheel locked up and I got a traction control fault, and terrain control fault, and downhill assist fault. I turn the engine off and let it sit for 20 minutes and then started it again and got the same errors. All this happen in 2 to 3 inches of snow. What's the point of having that option if it fails in the weather? I haven't had this vehicle long, so I am very upset at this. First the LED headlight goes out which is 1500 to replace, and now this - I'm not sure if I want another Ford after this.
In typical Explorer fashion... out of nowhere, we got about every warning light and system message related to the TMS, parking sensor, traction control, etc. The steering appears to be off once this occurs. The lights eventually go away but the problem is occurring more frequently. Diagnosis is challenging as there are so many components that can impact the system. So do you start at the lowest option only to find out the entire system is shot? I'm SO over this vehicle.
