Description of the problem | I live in ecuador (south america) and bought a 2012 explorer base model, on october 2011. A few days ago, after a long trip, i got the "advance trac" error message, and 3 days ago, i got the power steering failure, and the steering wheel got locked, traveling at around 20 mph, the two messages were on the screen, advance track and power steering. I turned the car off and then back on, and everything was normal. Yesterday i turned on the car and had no power steering, i had to turn it off and on again, to have it back. |
