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.

Area above right rear cargo window keeps crinkling along this whole area. Now have several dents into the crease above the window and has become noticeable to the degree people are asking me what happened there? I think structurally there is a weld that has given out and as we are driving the car and it flexes this area is crushing.
I have been to Ford twice now and they look at me like I have dented this area and am not telling them. They say they have never seen the issue before. Something is wrong with the vehicle which I purchased new, has only 20K miles on it and lives in my garage. Ford will not do anything about the problem.
