Description of the problem	We have owned many fords in the past but after owning a 2015 ford explorer sport it may be the last. My explorer has only been out of warranty for less than a year. As soon as it went out of warranty there was a problem with the link so they said. Maybe it was't a link after all. There was a loud clunking noise under my car when the steering wheel was turned. Now less than a year later the clunking noise is horrible and the power steering even went out temporarily. That's scary. I took it to the ford place today and they want $3000 to fix the steering gear. This is a safety issue. Are you going to wait until someone is seriously injured or killed before you issue a recall on this problem with the steering gear????? I see there are already 94 complaints about the steering issue. You need to issue a recall on this problem with the steering gear. This is serious. And $3000 is ridiculous. I want some kind of discount and this isn't the last you will hear from me on this matter if i don't get one.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
