Description of the problem | When we first bought the explorer in 2012 the steering quit working on a hill and my wife crashed into a bank and a concrete light pole. Never was paid back for our insurance deductible plus now we have a wreck car not worth nothing even thought it was repaired. Ford did there update recall to the steering. All has been fine till april 2016. Twice it has showed a steering assist fault and the steering wheel wouldn't move. Luckily it was in the driveway. Ford can't look at it for a week so it sits in our driveway my wife is scared to drive it again and i don't blame her. So here we are again same problem which was suposabley fixed |
