Description of the problem | My steering failed as i was traveling with my grandkids on a local suburban road. It took all my effort to steer the truck back to my home. This was very dangerous as the steering would also freeze and lock in one position. I had it repaired at my ford dealer. Total cost: $2,107. 00! This is a serious safety issue that the manufacturer should cover! I have 85,000 miles on my explorer. |
