This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
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.

I was in a parking lot of Ala Moana Mall in Honolulu (1/22/2024) and I went to drive my car, the steering wheel was stiff and saw a warning light "Power Steering Adjustment Assist" . I drove to 200 feet and struggling to steer the car and it was really stiff. I killed the engine and started the car again and I could steer my car but the warning light still came on. Need help how to fix this problem.
