Description of the problem | I have a 2020 explorer platinum. I have owned it for less than 30 days. Mileage at time of accident is 6853. I was traveling on a two lane country road, there was about one inch of fresh snow on the road. I was driving 20mph. I came to an s curve that i was familiar with. I slowed to 10mph. I began my turn to the right, i lost all steering, was fighting with the wheel, then slid into a guard rail. Body damage was mild/moderate. However steering was out at that point. I received a flurry of error messages hill start assist not available / reverse brake assist not available / pre-collision assist not available / service advance trac. I notified both my insurance and ford motor company. I towed it home myself. Then it was towed from my home to the dealer. |
