NHTSA Complaint #11244608 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE POWER STEERING STARTING FLASHING ON MY DASH AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE GARAGE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE AND THE RACK AND PINION ARE WHAT NEEDS REPLACING AND IT'S $1950.00. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEM AND COSTING THEM ANYWHERE FROM $2-$4000 TO FIX. AND IT'S ALWAYS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLES ARE AROUND 20-40,000 MILES AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FORD EXPLORERS 2016-2018 MODELS. MY EXPLORER IS AT 102,000 MILES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE PARTS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS HAPPENING!
