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.

Seat takes about 20-30 minutes to finally get a little warm on high setting. Even then, you can barely feel the warmth on a cold day. It used to work much better when I first bought the vehicle, but the dealership (Sheehy Ford Springfield) would not do anything about it after inspection.
