NHTSA Complaint #11091998 — 2015 FORD EXPLORER

AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEED 80MPH MY POWER STEERING WAS LOST. I HAD TWO WARNINGS POP UP AS IT WENT OUT; STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK. THERE WAS NOT ANY WARNING AT ALL. THIS WAS NOT A TYPICAL POWER STEERING LOSS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH OLDER VEHICLES I HAVE HAD. I HAD TO PUT NEARLY MY FULL BODY WEIGHT OF 300 LBS INTO STEERING TO A SAFE PLACE. HAD THIS HAPPENED TO OTHERS THIS VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN A HIGH SPEED IMPACT INTO A WALL WITH THIS LOSS. I AM HAVING THIS VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER AFTER ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT TO SEE IF A RESET MAY BE NEEDED AS SOME CODES RESET THIS WAY.
