CarComplaints.com Notes: The NHTSA's complaint data shows potentially scary power steering problems with the 2011 Ford Explorer.
The steering complaints are pretty serious - owners report the power steering cuts out while driving. The NHTSA opened an investigation into the power steering problems in June 2012, which lead to a recall in 2014. However years later, many 2011 Explorer owners report this defect is still occurring.
It's too bad because the 2009 & 2010 Ford Explorer are solid, trouble-free model years.

The paint has started to blister along the front edge of the hood. I brought the car to the dealer, but they refused to fix it and said that Ford won't deal with it either. My mother bought the same exact car at the same time and she's having the same problem. Her car is garage kept almost 100% of the time and has very low mileage. Mine is in the garage about 50% of the time. This is my first American car in a long time and I really wanted to support Ford, but this is incredibly disappointing.
