NHTSA Complaint #11257648 — 2015 FORD EXPLORER

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, STEERING FAULT LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER STEERING. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50K MILES AND THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS, FORD HAS ALREADY RECALLED THIS ISSUE ON LATER YEARS. IT IS NEGLECTFUL THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, KNOWING THAT CARS CAN LOSE POWER STEERING AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING, THIS ENDANGERS EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER SAFELY. DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $2450 TO REPLACE. WORKED WITH FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TEAM WHO WERE ABLE TO HELP IN REDUCING THE AMOUNT. BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE ANYONE IS INJURED.
