The steering locks up while driving. I have to stop vehicle, turn off power and restart vehicle - sometimes that will fix a steering lockup. I have had my mechanic check it out - they changed several modules, and a few days later the steering will lockup again. Ford has recalled only half a year of 2013 Explorers for steering problems, but unfortunately my Explorer was not included in the recall.
Update from Dec 10, 2019 Mechanic replaced sensors and steering module. The steering was working fine, then three days later, the power steering warning light in the dash comes on again. I took it back and had two more sensors replaced at $200.00 - $350.00 each time. It's working again, then five days later the steering locked up while driving again and warning of power steering assist failure.
Update from Jan 4, 2020 Steering rack completely failed and I had to have it replaced. Ford only recalled half the year of 2013 Explorers - but unfortunately mine was one that didn’t make the recall.
