Consumer Description
NO POWER STEERING AND A LOUD POPPING SOUND WHEN EVER I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. JUST HAD THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED AT MILEAGE OF 112477. THE FAULTY STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A PROBLEM FORD HAS HAD SINCE 2011 ON THE FORD EXPLORER. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 FORD EXPLORER, SO WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN REQUIRED TO BE INCLUDED IN RECALL ORDER?? I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR ON A WET RAINY NIGHT AND I WAS GOING STRAIGHT. LACK OF STEERING CONTROL WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH IS A DEADLY EVENT. WILL CONTACT DEALER THAT SERVICED THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO HEAR THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY.
