Consumer Description
THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME HARD TO TURN. CHECKED ON RATHER WEB AND FOUND OVER 100 COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND IN SOME CASES FREEZES THE STEERING WHEEL KEEPING IT FROM TURNING. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE 2013 EXPLORER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IT DOES NOT COVER THE 2014 UNIT. SHOULD THE STEERING GEAR FAIL WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNSTEERABLE. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESEARCHED ON THE WEB BY LOOKING UNDER FORD RACK AND PINION FAILURE.
