NHTSA Complaint #11341816 — 2014 FORD EXPLORER

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE STEERING STARTED FEELING DIFFERENT. AS SHE EXCITED THE HIGHWAY ONTO CITY STREETS, THE STEERING BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL TO THE POINT THAT ANY REQUIRED SUDDEN MOVEMENTS WOULD HAVE CREATED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO DIFFICULTY TURNING THE WHEEL. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO FIRST FORD IN FALL RIVER, MA AND DETERMINED THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING PUMP, RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
