2013 Ford Explorer complaints

LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND "SERVICE POWER ASSIST" LIGHT ALONG WITH ANOTHER WARNING LIGHT. BUILT IN JUNE, I'M NOT COVERED BY RECALL #14S06.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DEALERSHIP SAYS THROWING OUT CODES FOR FORD RECALL # 14S06. THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT IN RECALL SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN MAY OF 2012. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NO HELP.

ON 5/19/20I WAS DRIVING MY FORD EXPLORER DOWN THE ROAD 45 MPH POSTED LIMIT WAS DRIVING FINE THEN IN MOTION MY MESSAGE CENTER ALERT CAME ON SAYING POWER STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW MY TRYCK HAS LESS THEN 80000 MILES ON IT I MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD TO A PARKING LOT AFTERING STRUGGLING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ONCE I PARKED IT I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF THEN WAITED 2 MINUTED BEFORE STARTING IT WHEN IT CAME ON THE MESSAGE ALERT CAME ON BUT THIS TIME IT SAYING POWER STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS VERY HARD I MANAGED IT HOME AND PARKED IT TILL THE NXT DAY MONDAY 5/20/19. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THERE TELLING ME MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR 2011 TO 2013 FORD EXPLORER WHICH IT IS EXPERIENCEING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET OVER 1000 DOLLARS WHICH I DONT HAVE PLEASE HELP MY MANUFACTURE DAT WAS 3/2012 FORD MY 2013 EXPLORER.

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING JUST GAVE OUT AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURED, BUT THERE WAS NO WARNING OR MESSAGE FROM THE VEHICLE JUST LOSS OF CONTROL. LOOKED UP PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AND FOUND RECALL 14S06. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS DESCRIBED BY THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER (HEAVY RAIN), WATER AFFECTED THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE. BOWDITCH FORD (757-595-2211, LOCATED AT 11291 JEFFERSON AVE, NEWPORT NEWS, VA 23601) KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE STATUS AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A SECOND DEALER (HALL FORD NEWPORT NEWS, (877) 398-2216, LOCATED AT 12896 JEFFERSON AVE, NEWPORT NEWS, VA 23608) DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER SHORT CIRCUITED THE SWITCHES AND THE SUN ROOF MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

POWER STEERING LOSS FOR THE 2ND TIME, EVEN AFTER DEALERSHIP INSPECTION. CLAIMED TO NOT BE A APART OF 2013 RECALL LIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT CAMPGROUND AND AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING LOST POWER. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED ON THE FRITTS FORD DEALER (951-687-2121, LOCATED AT 8000 AUTO DR, RIVERSIDE, CA 92504) AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

STEERING IS HARD TO STEER. FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME JUST WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING SLOW. ALSO PAINT ON THE HOOD PEELING OFF. TOOK TO A GARAGE FOR THE STEERING AND THEY SAY IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NO RECALL.

WE HAVE NOTICED A CAR EXHAUST ODOR IN OUR VEHICLE WHILE AT A STANDSTILL. THE ODOR COMES AND GOES AND WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING IT. IT SEEMS THAT CAR EXHAUST IS COMING INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE CAR'S VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE DEALER SHIP COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE DID HAVE THE FORD CARBON MONOXIDE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM COMPLETED.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT.. WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE FAULT COMES ON STEERING GETS HARD HARD TO CONTROL CAUSING MY WIFE TO ALMOST GET TO AN ACCIDENT. IT ONLY COMES ON ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE TO RESET ITS YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IT ONLY HAPPENS IN THE MORNING WHEN SHE'S TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL IT'S RARE BUT IT'S HAPPENED FOUR TIMES ALREADY

THE FORD EXPLORER COMES WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. MINE IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND QUITS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SLOW TURNS. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL...HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT ONE THEM... AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. FORD NEEDS TO EXPAND ITS RECALL.

STEERING GEARBOX FAULTY AND CAN FAIL IN MOTION, BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SOME 2013-2014 VEHICLES. LIKELY SHOULD BE EXTENDED. GEARBOX ISSUES ARE OCCURING NOW, WILL PROBABLY REPLACE BEFORE THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.

DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION REMAINS ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALERT TONE WILL SOUND WHEN VEHICLE STARTS MOVING OR COMES TO A STOP. AUTO DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION OR DOORS WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED. INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON UNTIL VEHICLE STARTS MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY FORD AND SENSORS CLEANED UNDER WARRANTY AT 25K MILES. FIX LASTED ABOUT 4 MONTHS. CURRENT MILEAGE 67K.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY POWER STEERING SENSOR FLASHED ON THE DASH SAYING TO SERVICE POWER STEERING SOON. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER I FOUND MYSELF BATTLING TO CHANGE LANES AND TURN ALL TOGETHER. MY POWER COMPLETELY CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOING SPEEDS OF UP TO 50 MPH. IVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE OR EVEN A WARNING BEFOREHAND. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO MY MAKE AND MODEL AS MY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED 30 DAYS SHORT OF THE RECALL.

THE HORN FROM THE STEERING PAD ISN'T WORKING. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER ON 3 OCCASIONS & THEY HAVE STATED THE HORN IS OPERABLE AND THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. HOWEVER, THE HORN STOPS WORKING WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE ALARM HORN DOES OPERATE WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE'S SOME WIRING/MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH CONTACT WHEN PRESSING THE STEERING WHEEL HORN PAD. A CASE WAS FILED W/ FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY 'FOUND' THE HORN TO BE OPERABLE & STOPPED WORKING ON A SATURDAY MORNING. ON 4/29/19 I CONTACTED FORD AGAIN AND THE REPRESENTATIVE PRETTY MUCH SAID THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY & THERE ARE NO EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THE CAR SO I WAS OUT OF LUCK. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT IT APPEARS IT MAY BE SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT POSING A HAZARD/LIABILITY TO MY FAMILY WHICH HE SHOWED NO INTEREST OF CARING. THE HORN AT THIS TIME IS NOT WORKING.

I AM REQUESTING THAT THE DOT NHTSA LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF A TIRE DEFECT THAT CAN AFFECT THE SAFE OPERATION OF VEHICLES WITH COOPER DISCOVERER SRX TIRES. I PURCHASED A SET OF 4 COOPER DISCOVERER SRX TIRES AND HAD THEM PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED ON MY 2013 FORD EXPLORER. THE SIZE IS 255/50R20. DURING THE WINTER OF 2018-19 THEY BEGAN TO LEAK AIR EXCESSIVELY WHEN IT WAS COLD. THE LOSS WOULD GROW TO A POINT THE LOW AIR LIGHT CAME ON EVERY WEEK. IT WAS VARIOUS TIRES CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE WINTER AND INTO THE SPRING OF 2019. THE LEAKS ARE MORE SEVERE WHEN DRIVING THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I BELIEVE THE TIRES MAY HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED TO THE POINT THAT THEY ARE CONTINUING TO LEAK WHEN IT IS WARM OUTSIDE NOW. OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THEM IN 2 SEPARATE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE TIRES DO NOT HAVE A HOLE IN THEM NOR LEAK AT THE BEAD BUT ARE LEAKING DUE TO WEATHER OR OTHER. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WITH COOPER TIRES TO HANDLE THE SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY NOT HANDLED THEIR WARRANTY MATTER. I HAVE BEEN TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERS WHO SENT ME BACK TO THE ORIGINAL INSTALLER AND THEY HAVE HAD THEM OFF TWO TIMES TO VERIFY THE ISSUE. BEFORE THIS SAFETY ISSUE BECOMES A SERIOUS INCIDENT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE TIRES INVESTIGATED OR POSSIBLY RECALLED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THESE TIRES AND BELIEVE THE MODEL MAY REDUCE SAFETY AS THEY AGE. MINE ARE 2 YEARS OLD ALMOST. THANK YOU, *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STERLING MCCALL FORD (6445 SOUTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON TX 77074, (281) 588-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V286000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,246.

CORROSION OF THE AC LINES RUNNING UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OF THE REAR AC CONDENSER HOUSING, WHICH IS EXPOSED TO THE ENVIRONMENT, CAUSED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE AC SYSTEM AND ALLOWED ALL OF THE REFRIGERANT TO LEAK INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

ON 18 APRIL 2019 FILED COMPLAINT NUMBER: 11197130. POWER STEERING WAS JUST BECOMING DIFFICULT TO TURN. CALLED FORD FOR EXISTING RECALL ON POWER STEERING (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V286000). FORD STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. ON 20 APRIL 2019 THE POWER STEERING FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30PM IN NEWBURYPORT MA. WIFE WAS DRIVING. ALMOST CRASHED INTO POL. STOPPED AT THE LAST SECOND. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF A YOUNG DRIVER WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY PASSENGER WINDSHIELD MOLD FLEW OFF THE CAR ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING ON STRAIGHTAWAY DOING ABOUT 45MPH AND COMING TO A STOP. SERVICE LIGHTS & BELLS POPPED ON AND POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE STEERING INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS UP FOR ABOUT A SECOND. AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF STEERING LOCKS FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WHILE YOUNG DRIVER (DAUGHTER) IS BEHIND THE WHEEL. SOMETIMES WHEEL LOCKS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. FORD SAYS THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER "LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST" RECALL. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND A SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS AND SOME RECALLED BUT NOT ALL. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. CITY STREET. I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING ON A FREEWAY IN PHOENIX WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

POWER STEERING ASSIST CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING AND LOST STEERING. VERY DANGEROUS

LAST YEAR MY POWER STEERING ON MY 2013 FORD EXPLORER FAILED. IT WAS PARKED AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT ON IT SAID POWER STEERING FAILURE. WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT A RECALL I WAS TOLD MY CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER THE SPECIFICATIONS, SO I HAD TO PAY TO GET THE POWER STEERING REPLACED (ROUGHLY $1,400). NINE MONTHS LATER MY POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ADVANCETRAC LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE DASH STARTED FLASHING SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC NOW

RAIN WATER LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLES BACK HATCH AND COMING THROUGH THE SEAT BELTS, CAUSING WET SEAT BELTS, SEATS, SPARE TIRE EQUIPMENT, AND PERSONAL AND ITEMS IN CARGO AREA.

CAR LOST POWER ON VERY BUSY ROAD. THROTTLE BODY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN AURORA ROAD AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL

INTERIOR OF VEHICLE TAKING IN WATER FROM RAIN SHOWERS (NOT EVEN BAD RAIN SHOWERS), WATER IS COMING IN FROM THE ROOF WHERE THE WINDSHIELD MEETS THE ROOF AND ABSORBING AROUND THE SUNGLASS HOLDER/INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DRIPPING DOWN ONTO RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND COMPLETELY SOAKS THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I'VE HAD THE DOOR SEAL REPLACED RECENTLY AND THE DEALER TELLS ME ITS A DIFFERENT ISSUE, WITHOUT EVEN EVALUATING IT. AT ANY RATE THIS WATER COMING INTO THE VEHICLE IS A HUGE ISSUE ESPECIALLY THAT IT'S SITTING IN THE CAR ROTTING EVERYTHING OUT AND DRIPPING ONTO ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THREATENING THE INTEGRITY OF ANY ELECTRICAL OR DASH OPERATIONS. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON A LARGER ISSUE. THIS OCCURRED AFTER SITTING IN MY WORK PARKING LOT ALL DAY THEN I COULD ALSO FEEL IT WHEN DRIVING 35-45MPH TO THE DEALER.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON STARTING AND GIVES ERROR MESSAGE (STEERING ASSIST FAULT) THE VEHICLE IS 76K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED TO FUNCTION, WHICH CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK WHILE MAKING A TURN. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME FORCE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. EVERGREEN FORD LINCOLN (1500 18TH AVE NW, ISSAQUAH, WA 98027, (425) 651-2465) INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDICATING AN INTERMITTENT FAULT AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE A 2013 FORD EXPLORER AND JUST TODAY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CARBON MONOXIDE PROBLEM. BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED/USED FROM A FORD DEALER IN TN IN 2016. ABOUT THAT TIME, I STARTED HAVING HEADACHES AND DIZZY SPELLS, AND WEAKNESS IN MY ARMS AND LEGS. THE SAME SYMPTOMS I JUST LEARNED TODAY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN A FORD EXPLORER. IN DEC 2017 I MOVED TO FL AND THE FIRST FEW MONTHS I WAS HERE I HAD MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR A DIFFERENT PROBLEM (THE SYNC ISSUE). NEVER WAS I TOLD ANYTHING ABOUT A CARBON MONOXIDE PROBLEM. WHEN I GET OFF WORK TODAY I AM GOING TO BUY A CM DETECTOR TO CHECK THIS. I AM VERY SUSPICIOUS THAT THIS IS WHAT HAS CAUSED ALL THE MEDICAL PROBLEMS I SUDDENLY BEGAN EXPERIENCING ABOUT 3 YRS. AGO. I'M ALSO CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY.

THE POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT. WHILE DRIVE 55 MPH THE STEERING WENT OUT THE CAR CROSSED CENTER LINE ALMOST HITTING AN ONCOMING CAR. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE. FORD HAS A RECALL ON THE SAME VEHICLE MODEL YEARS AS MINE 2011-2013 RECALL L#14S06. THIS CAR WAS MADE AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME PLANT IN CHICAGO, YET THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS $2,000 PROBLEM.

STEERING STICKS AS YOUR TURNING, IN ANY DIRECTION OR SPEED INCLUDING STATIONARY. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO STEER SMOOTHLY AND FREQUENTLY CAUSES IT TO CROSS THE CENTERLINE AND OFF ROAD! NOT SAFE!

POWER STEERING DOWN. WARNING MASSAGE SAID 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' 'SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC' 'TERRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAULT'. IT IS TOO HARD TO STEER. CONTROL MODULE INTERNAL FAILURE, CODES U3000-49, U3000-96, U3000-71.

PURSUANT TO NHTSA INVESTIGATION # EA 17-002 OPENED ON 7/27/17, I AM EXPERIENCING THE PERIODIC EXHAUST ODORS IN MY VEHICLE DETAILED IN THAT REPORT. ALL RELEVANT RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED, WHICH HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

FAILURE OF STEERING GEAR. STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT AND ATTEMPTS TO HANG AFTER A TURN. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2013 EXPLORERS FOR SIMILAR REASONS, BUT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ON LINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY FORD DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HAS REFUSED TO EXTEND THE RECALL. REPAIR COST $1850.

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE I GET A WARNING THAT SAYS, "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND I CAN NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL WHATSOEVER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ALTHOUGH THIS TIME THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO TURN AT ALL ANYMORE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE WHEELS LOCKED UP AND AFTER 3-5 ATTEMPTS OF STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE TO LEAVE, AS I PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE WHEELS WOULDN'T TURN AND MY VEHICLE WENT STRAIGHT BACKWARDS. AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR SEVERAL HOURS THE ISSUE WAS SELF RESOLVED. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED WHICH WAS THE MOST RECENT I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND GOT THE WARNING AGAIN AND CHECKED THE WHEELS AND THEY WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. THE VEHICLE IS NOW STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WILL ONLY GO FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS AS THE WHEELS DO NOT TURN AT ALL. NOTHING SEEMS TO BE RESOLVING THE ISSUE NOW. NOT EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS DO I GET THE WARNING ON THE DASH FIRST, ONLY AFTER IT HAPPENS DO I GET A NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH. I AM JUST GLAD THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. STEERING WHEEL WAS REALLY HARD TO TURN. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ALSO. ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR. THE DASH DISPLAY SAID 'POWERING STEERING FAULT'. DROVE TO DEALER LIKE THIS AND PAID $2279 TO GET FIXED. WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS. ALSO, CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME AFTER I TOLD THEM THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. THEY SAID HOLD ON TO RECEIPTS IN CASE IN THE FUTURE THERE WAS A RECALL SO I COULD GET REIMBURSED. MILEAGE 77,033.

POWER STEERING BECAME VERY INTERMITTENT NO LIGHTS COME ON NO WARNING THEN NO POWER STEERING STILL HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL WHEEL TO TURN ALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE

RACK AND PINON IN THESE MODEL VECHILES AS WELL AS INNER AND OUTER TIRE RODS ARE FAULTY. THE RACK AND PINION CAN SIEZE MAKING THE STEERING WHEEL IN OPERABLE.

OXIDIZING ON FRONT OF HOOD CAUSING THE PAINT TO PEEL

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012. I HAVE A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. THERE WAS A RECALL #14S06 IN 2014 THAT DID NOT INCLUDE MY CAR, WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR. THE CARS STEERING ISSUE IS A MECHANICAL MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I AM TOLD THAT "BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED WITHIN THE DATES LISTED WITHIN THE YEAR 2012 THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED". DESPITE NOTICES, THERE IS STILL A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT I WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT RESOLVE. THIS DEFECT IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 100K ON IT. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT JUST SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T EVEN TURN AND BECAME INOPERABLE. I WOULD JUST LIKE FORD TO PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT OR REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE REPAIRS. I AM NOT TRYING TO GET THEM TO BUY ME A NEW CAR. THE DEALER IS CHARGING $2500+ TO REPAIR IT. I BELIEVE THAT FORD KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT ONLY BE LIMITED TO CARS THAT WERE WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME, RATHER, THEY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE ISSUE COULD EXTEND TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME TYPE THAT WERE MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE SAME YEAR.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF A RECALL (RECALL # 14S06) FOR OTHER 2013 FORD EXPLORERS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED 5 MONTHS EARLIER. AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHILE TURNING, THE VEHICLES STEERING STICKS AND IS NOW MAKING A ROARING SOUND THAT'S COMING FROM THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY.
