Steering become hard cant move the wheel or make any turn... and the light of service power steering and service advance trac came on. i almost have a accident do to this problem.
2013 ford explorer limited 4wd 3.5l became undriveable in a matter of 4 days. it started as a squeal as i accelerated from a stop and quickly escalated to lurching, pulsating and bumping at all speeds. mechanic initially thought it was a caliper that was locked up but when i brought it back 2 days later after the problem persisted and worsened he realized that the transfer case was faulty. he noted that ford is notorious for faulty transfer cases and horrible warranties that end before the parts go. i'm told that my vehicle could lock up at any moment and cause me to not be able to react putting my families safety and those around me in danger. help please! i'm told this is a common issue and not isolated to my vehicle. multiple phone calls to ford have me on hold for 15+ minutes with no sound and then phone call ends without the chance to talk to a representative. my vehicle had roughly 94,000 miles at the time. repair cost was estimated between $3,000 - $5,000.
Received a message on my dashboard " power assist fault", the steering was stiff and could not turn. turn off the car for 10 minutes and the steering was functioning ok. later in the afternoon, i was about to hit the gas pump as my steering went stiff again. now am scared that this may cause accident
My car began lurching when i was driving and began leaking oil. when i took it in, i found out the pto needed repaired. the transfer case was filled with metal and covered in metal shards. mechanic said the car wasn't driveable and would be dangerous to have on the road.
It occurs 1 to 4 times while i'm driving. all of a suddenly the the gas pedal doesn't work and the terrain management system is off. i have to turn off the engine in the middle of the road in order for it to work again. also, there's a weird smell coming coming out when all windows are closed and the ac is on.
Since i've had this vehicle it jerks back and clicks as the transmission switches gear. normally between 3 and 4th gear it seems. more importantly its overheating and leaking coolant! same issue as fusions and other suv ford offers. this seems to me like a fire hazard that should be recalled in all fords. it leaks when parked. and overheats if the ac is in use. the leak was out of nowhere and suddenly. the fuel sensor is also weak. *tt*jb
Tapping noise after turning car off. burning smell but no visible smoke.
Transfer case leak and failure at 82755 miles. no apparent cause. car lurched forward twice and almost hit vehicles in front of car
When i shift it to park. it doesn't recognize it and when you turn of the car. a sign comes up on the dash screen saying 'shift into park'. and it drains your battery because the system is waiting for you to shift it. also you can't use the factory remote start.
Engine was revving and jerking in to the next gear while accelerating the first time after starting the car. after the first cycle through gears, the issue no longer happened. while being a 2013, the vehicle has only 36,500 miles on it. the vehicle requires replacement of valve body and selenoid body due to the seals in the direct clutch being "destroyed." the transmission had to be completely taken apart to find the cause, costing nearly $4,000 in repairs.

Pillars flying off car and power transfer unit not working
Does not show up in park when in park. if the in park is not lit up it will leave relays will be left open and run down battery.have looked on line and there hundreds of thousands of this issue on multiple different vehicles.
Car lost power on very busy road. throttle body issue.
Pursuant to nhtsa investigation # ea 17-002 opened on 7/27/17, i am experiencing the periodic exhaust odors in my vehicle detailed in that report. all relevant recalls have been performed, which have not fixed the problem.
