NHTSA Complaint #11032322 — 2011 FORD EXPLORER

WHEN I WAS DRIVING I CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THAT'S WHEN THE SUV SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO CONTROL SIMULTANEOUSLY. I STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RE-STARTED THE SUV AGAIN. NONE OF MY WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD ARE DISPLAYED. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO MY SPOUSE AND I ON AT LEAST 5 OTHER OCCASIONS. I AM VERY ALARMED THAT IF WE'RE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND THIS OCCURS AGAIN, WHICH IT WILL, IT MAY CAUSE A COLLISION INJURING DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS DILEMMA ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS ALOT OF FORD EXPLORER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ASK THAT YOU PUT PRESSURE ON FORD TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. MANY FORD EXPLORER OWNERS ARE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
