2015 Ford Explorer complaints

I was stopped on the highway behind two other cars that were also stopped at a lane merger. A car hit my vehicle from behind and the impact caused my vehicle to hit the car in front of me, and that car to hit the car in front of them. When I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out of my vehicle, I noticed that my seat (driver's seat) had reclined backwards. I have lower & mid back pain as a result of the crash. My vehicle is currently at a tow lot where it has been labeled a total loss.

The rack and pinion is bad and grinds when turning. Yes vehicle is available for inspection if needed. no warning lamped have shown up to date other than major grinding when turning.

The reverse camera randomly cuts out while I am reversing. I have almost hit cars and can't rely on it to back up safely.

My SRS air bag light came on intermittently and is now on all the time. A internet search showed many years of explorer also have this problem. It appears MANY owners are having this same safety problem and Ford is charging full price for repair. CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING. A RECALL IS NEEDED!

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that while his son-in-law was driving, the power steering assists error message was displayed however, the vehicle was still drivable. The contact stated that the turn signal failed to stay in place while signaling left or right turn. The turn signal switch failed to operate. The contact stated that several days later while driving the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver. The vehicle was taken to the dealer a month later where the failure was diagnosed as the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was currently at the dealer for repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

My son-in-law was driving our car with his family and the power steering went out while on the highway. The error message on the car was “Steering Assist Fault Service Required’. He could barely control the car to get it off the highway and back home. My husband took it to the dealership the next day but the error message had disappeared. The dealer was unable to diagnose the problem because they couldn’t get the diagnosis code for the issue. Then I was out with my step daughter driving the car and the power steering went out, same error message along with a new error message that read “Steering Fault Service Now”. This has happened several times so we took the car back up to the dealership and they have told us that they can’t replicate the problem and can’t get the diagnosis code so they can’t fix anything. The car has been with them for five days. I explained to the service writer that this issue keeps happening and the car keeps giving us the error message. Are we supposed to just wait until it goes out again and we end up in a horrific car accident? I have read incidents on this site with the same year, make and model all talking about the same issue yet Ford hasn’t recalled the 2015 Explorer to fix this problem. We have photos of the error messages and showed the service writer yet as it stands now they can’t do anything.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Explorer. The contact stated while driving 5 MPH and turning into a parking lot, the steering wheel inadvertently seized. The warning message "Steering Malfunction, Serviced Needed" appeared on the instrument panel. The contact stated that she turned off and restarted the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The contact was able to pull into a parking space with assistance. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced, and that the failure was a manufacturer’s defect. The contact stated that the vehicle was not repaired and was towed back to her residence. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they could not assist because there was no open recall related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

I drove to a soccer tournament with my wife and 3 small kids over 2 hours away from my home. about 5 mins away I received an alert that my advance trac system was disabled. When I was pulling in the hotel parking lot I received a warning that I had a steering system failure and to stop the vehicle. At this point it the power steering was totally disable and I barely missed hitting a parked car due to lack of steering control. I was able to guide the Explorer to an open space in the hotel parking lot. I was totally frustrated and terrified because if the failure had happened just two minutes earlier I would have likely crashed at highway speeds! So I was stranded in a new town 2 hours away from home with no idea how I was going to get home or how to get my Explorer diagnosed. I had the Explorer towed to a nearby dealership. (Midland Ford in Midland Michigan) to get it diagnosed. In the meantime I had to find away to get my kids and my wife back home 2 hours away before Monday morning (School & Work) without a car and on a Sunday. I was able to to find a way home but we arrived very early Monday morning. I am now facing a repair job of $2600. I surely do not think that I should pay for what is apparently a common and known defect for my Explorer. A clear safety issue that put me and my family at risk while leaving me stranded 2 hours from home.

The "Steering Assist Fault Service Required" and "Service Advance Track" messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The contact pulled into a nearby parking lot. The contact stated she turned off the vehicle and when she restarted the vehicle, the steering wheel was easier to maneuver. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Power steering assist light came on and I lost my power steering all of a sudden. Stopped car turned it off started again and it worked for a minute then came back on.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that he noticed that the passenger’s side door panel was fractured, and the back of the trim panel was exposed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.

Pulled on driver side door handle to open and handle came apart. Smaller piece fell off and larger handle part pulled out from the door.

While my son was driving our 2015 Explorer on the highway @60 mph a month ago, the black mounding trim piece on the driver’s side windshield went flying off, along with a rubber strip that caused him to swerve lanes, almost creating an accident. Then, last week I was driving on the highway through a construction zone late at night when a large black plastic piece(the trim molding on the other side of the windshield) flew off the passenger side and a two foot piece of thick gooey rubber was flapping on my windshield. Fortunately, there were no cars behind me as it occurred, because it startled me and I swerved a little bit & had to quickly pull off the road and ended up have to pull off the flapping/dangling rubber piece because it would not be go back on and was slapping tar on my windshield and body of the vehicle. Ford has advised they want nearly $1,100 to fix the issue which I see from numerous other posts, and from 3 other Explorers I’ve noticed this last week alone in my neighborhood with the same exact defect problem. This is obviously a well known issue as per the numerous posts here, the comments from the two Ford dealerships I’ve been to and a Safelite Auto Glass Repair shop who advised they’ve seen many of these same exact instances on Explorers. It’s unbelievable that the NHTSA hasn’t required Ford to do a recall on these, and it’s despicable that Ford hasn’t proactively offered to replace or repair these for owners, - but instead seems to have no problem gouging

When I purchased this vehicle I noticed there was a fawl smell like rotten eggs or sulfer when you would push on gas. I mentioned it to the dealer they said they kneew about it and there was a recall to fix it. I brought it in a few times as each time they never seemed to be able to fix it. It made my whole family sick, headaches, nauseua, sleepy. I was scared to drive my family in my car. I looked up this incident to see if others had same issue and there were many across the board that all said the same thing and FORD would not do anything about this. I tried to trade my car in manytimes and have them do an exchange they did nothing. I am ready at this point to hire a lawyer and sue FORD for this. what else can be done

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle lost power on several occasions. The vehicle was restarted and operated as designed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed with a faulty throttle body. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

The rear backup camera continually fails due to what appears to be a faulty electrical connection. It stops working while in the middle of a backup almost causing a collision. sometimes it does not work at all.

When I put my car in reverse and start backing up my backup camera screen flickers and then goes completeley blank. My 2015 Ford Explorer only has 31,000 miles on it.

Electronic steering assist gear failed and complete loss of steering was experienced. Driver was traveling at 45 MPH at the time of failure which could have resulted in serious injury or death. Ford was contacted 72 hours ago and has failed to make contact.

Driver side air bag light on.

Multiple times I have started vehicle and the “steering assist fault service required” light has come on. Never stays on for long and still able to drive car. Spoke with Ford dealership and they said I need to bring it in when the light is on. Well the light has come on as well as “service advance Trac” light and now I can not drive my car. Have lost all power steering. I have looked up recalls and see that this has been a problem for 2011-2013 and a lawsuit in process for 2016-2018. Not sure why 2015 is not also a recall because I have seen multiple complaints for the same problem. I believe this is a Ford problem and should not have to pay to have this fixed. I am lucky I was still in my driveway when this happened. I now have to pay a towing company to get my car to dealership to have serviced, when it could have been taken care of multiple times if it was included in recall.

In July 2020, after car had sat mostly unused from March 2020 to June 2020 due to the pandemic lockdown, steering binded up while turning left out of a parking lot at a slow speed. Had to yank the steering wheel to get it to return to normal steering. Made a popping sound when yanked. Didn’t happen again but in September 2020 started noticing a lot of popping when the wheel would turn left or right at slow speeds. Took car to Meineke. They diagnosed need for new front struts. These were replaced at a cost of $1000. Popping stopped until about November 2020. Noticed it again only intermittently when pulling out of driveway and turning steering wheel far left or right. Would hear a single pop sound. From then until June 2021 would notice this intermittently and had steering bind up again probably 2 more times. Very terrifying to have to yank hard to get steering wheel to turn correctly when driving in traffic. Steering did seem a little loose as well. After reading about the hundreds of complaints about rack and pinions going bad on 2014-2016 explorers and seeing that my car’s symptoms were exactly the same I knew this had to be the issue. I took the car to Meineke and they wanted $3600 to replace the rack and pinion which was way too much. Ford dealer at Oxmoor replaced for $1988. The car had 103,000 miles when the problems started. It had a certified preowned warranty through 100,000 miles so of course this wasn’t covered but a rack and pinion should not fail in a 6 year old

Steer gear column going out

Driving at interstate speeds I lost total ABS, Traction Control, and Stability Control systems. Putting the lives of my entire family at risk. Also catylatic converts have gone bad

Rack & Pinion failed on 09MAY21; I did not keep the old one, so unfortunately it is not available for inspection. My safety or the safety of others was put at risk; I was turning onto an active roadway from a local store parking lot, when the steering inexplicably locked up on me in the middle of the turn. It freed enough momentarily, by wrenching with all my strength back and forth on the wheel, to get back off of the road onto the shoulder. I narrowly avoided being hit by oncoming traffic in the southbound lane coming down the hill. Yes, the problem was reproduced & confirmed at an independent service center. He placed it on the lift, we both took turns turning the wheel slowly to the right and left; you could both hear and feel the distinct sound of gears clicking & popping after being turned approximately 2/3rds of the way to the right, then back to the left. We took turns standing under the rack and pinion electric steering box, if you placed your hand on the bottom/base, you could feel the hard thump when the wheel was turned as described above. The wheel would intermittently lock up, requiring us to yank hard on it both ways to free it up. No, it was not inspected by anyone aside from myself and the mechanic. No, there weren't any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. It failed suddenly at approximately 93,000 miles.

EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE INTERIOR-This seems to only occur on road trips where fast and hard acceleration is needed for highway driving which is not something we normally due. Since we have owned the vehicle, on every occasion of strong hard acceleration there is a strong exhaust / spent fuel smell being brought into the cars interior. We have reached out to the local Ford Dealer several times but without satisfactory results. The exhaust fumes continue to exist in the cars interior upon hard and fast acceleration. My wife just returned from a interstate road trip with signs of exhaust fume poisoning with an extreme headache and very lethargic.What is it going to take for Ford to fix this problem or for a recall to be issued. Will it take fatalities or long term respiratory issues before anything is done to solace this issue. Besides the huge concern about the car owners safety and health; what about the potential diminished resale value of the vehicle due to Ford’s negligence to truly fix this exhaust issue.

2015 Ford Explorer. Consumer writes in regards to NHTSA safety recall 20V-675. Consumer would like to know when parts will be available to perform safety recall. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

At 89,000 miles I was going 65 mph headed home when my window pillar flew off just so happen the vehicle behind us didn’t get affected by it. I am reaching out because there should be a recall on this. This is unacceptable for you to even pay for something with a part that will come off. Reach 100,000 popping noise when turning. What’s the issue Ford.

While driving my vehicle my power steering went out. This was while making a left turn. Luckily there were not other vehicles in close proximity and I was able to safely pull into a parking lot. The Ford dealership said that it is the steering rack and after some online research this seems to be a common issue that isn’t being recalled by Ford.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was referred to an authorized dealer. The local authorized dealer was contacted and made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

WHEN STOPPED FOR THE AT LEAST THE DURATION OF A STOP LIGHT, WHILE IN DRIVE WITH BRAKE PEDAL COMPRESSED, CAR WILL SOMETIMES DROP IN RPMS AND ALSO ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FORWARD.

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, BELOW 30 MPH, STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT AND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND RELEASING IT COMING OUT OF A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS STUCK BEFORE IT RETURNS TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN, ALMOST AS IF THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. HOWEVER, NORMALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, NO POWER STEERING IS NOT AN ISSUE, BUT BECAUSE THIS MODEL HAS AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR, IT SEEMS THAT THE ELECTRIC MOTOR FIGHTS THE OPERATOR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE RESISTANCE FELT WHILE TRYING TO STEER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS VERY SEVERE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, AND THE RESISTANCE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO GO BACK TO STRAIGHT AT LOWER SPEEDS IS ALSO SEVERE.

I TOOK MY 2015 FORD EXPLORER XLT IN TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF TO SEE IF THE ONE RECALL WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE STEERING PROBLEM AND IT DIDN'T. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE EXPLORER SINCE JULY OF 2020 WITH NO POWER STEERING BECAUSE IT'S OUR ONLY VEHICLE. DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST ME 140.00 FOR THEM TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. CAN'T AFFORD IT. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE TO BE KILLED FOR FORD TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM??????? MY WIFE DROVE TO THE STORE WITH NO PROBLEM AND SHE CAME OUT AND GOT IN AND STARTED IT AND HAD NO POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DAMEROW FORD (12325 SW CANYON RD, BEAVERTON, OR 97005, (800) 732-8633) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

I NOTICED THAT I STARTED TO FEEL LIGHT HEADED AND WENT TO MY DOCTOR. AT FIRST IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE MY ALLERGIES. THE CONDITION ONLY WORSENED TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT STAND WITHOUT GETTING DIZZY. I COULD NOT WORK AND HAD RINGING AND LOSS OF HEARING IN MY ONE EAR. IT WAS AROUND THIS TIME THAT I STARTED TO NOTICE A SULFUR SMELL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. THE MORE I DROVE THE CAR, THE WORSE THE SMELL GOT TO THE POINT WHERE YOU COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. I LOOKED INTO THE SITUATION AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY STEP FATHER WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HE REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH EXPLORERS. I TOOL TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A DIFFERENT ISSUE AND THAT THE WARRANTY HAD JUST RUN OUT. I CONTACTED FORD WHO SAID THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP AND DID NOT. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY ARE STATING THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE CAR AND IF I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD MY SENSE OF SMELL I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND COULD HAVE INJURED OR KILLED MYSELF OR OTHERS FOR THEIR FAULTY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT VEHICLES BREAK DOWN, BUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS STILL THERE AND I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF OR OTHERS BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

FORD EXPLORER 2015 4WD (79,000 KM), CURRENTLY NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL. ON MARCH 2020 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTEE WITH 70,000 KM, I'VE EXPLAINED TO FORD DEALER THAT THERE IS STEERING PROBLEM APPEARED SUDDENLY WHEN DRIVING, THEY MADE COMPUTER AND TECHNICAL CHECK BUT NO CODE ARISE, THEREFORE, THEY INFORMED ME THAT NOTHING FOUND AND IT MAY NOT REPEATED AGAIN. ON JANUARY 2021 (THE VEHICLE BECAME OUT OF WARRANTY) - 76,440 KM, THE SAME PROBLEM APPEARED WITH WARNING LIGHTS SHOWN SUDDENLY (TERRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAULT, SSERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT) 'THIS HAPPENED APPARENTLY AND SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AS THE STEERING SUDDENLY STOP WORKING AND MOVING AND I COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR AND WAS ABOUT TO HAVE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I'VE HARDLY STOPPED THE CAR ASIDE SWITCH-OFF AND RESTART IT THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AND SEND IT TO THE DEALER WHO IN TURN CHECKED AGAIN AND INFORMED THAT NO FAULT IS DETECTED DESPITE SHOWING THE RECORDED VIDEO TO THEM OF THE SAID PROBLEM. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS SUDDENLY MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING, IT HAS APPEARED RECENTLY AT 79,000 KM (KINDLY SEE THE ATTACHED SNAPSHOTS). TILL NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT AS I'M SPENDING A LOT MONEY FOR CAR CHECK TO FORD WITH NO OUTCOME WHEREAS FORD MANUFACTURER IS NOT ABLE TO DETECT THIS FATAL DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND ALSO IT'S NOT COVERED BY RECALL DESPITE BEING VERY DANGEROUS ON PEOPLE'S LIVES.

RACK AND PINION STEERING HAS GONE BAD. CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING AND STEERING UNSTABLE. FEELS VERY UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED.

MY 2015 EXPLORER'S POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT. I ALSO HAD A 2016 EXPLORER THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO. I HAD A WARRANTY ON THE 2016 MODEL SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING RACK AND PINION ON IT. BUT MY 2015 MODEL IS MY HUSBAND'S ONLY VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND WE DO NOT HAVE 2500$ TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR SUCH A DANGEROUS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM.

THE HIGHWAY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS DRIVING. AND THE CAR SUDDENLY HAD NO WAS ON EVERYTHI PULL OVER BUT I HAD TO PULL OVER. BECAUSE. THE CAR DIDN'T SHUT OFF, BUT I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL AND THERE WAS NO POWER. SO I PUL THE ROAD TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I STARTED IT BACK UP AND DID FINE AND WENT HOME. BUT THIS WAS DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WHEN I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, IT TURNED GREEN. I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING IN ELECTRICAL OR THROTTLEL NOT SURE.
