Consumer Description

ON JULY 26 AT ABOUT 10:40 AM I WAS DRIVING MY STOCK (NO ADDED EQUIPMENT) 2016 FORD EXPLORER (PLATINUM EDITION). I HAD JUST MERGED FROM NORTHBOUND I-680 ONTO WESTBOUND I-580 (NORTHERN CALIFORNIA). I WAS MOVING AT A CONSTANT FREEWAY SPEED (ABOUT 60 MPH) FROM LANE #5 (RIGHTMOST LANE) TO LANE #1. A FEW SECONDS AFTER ENTERING LANE #1 THE POWER STEERING FAILED. A WARNING APPEARED ON THE VEHICLE WARNING INDICATOR THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE OFF THE FREEWAY AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. POWER STEERING RESUMED AFTER RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE.
