| I own a 2011 ford explorer, i have had numerous failures to the electronic power steering assist. first time this happened i was along at about 65 mph and the steering wheel locked up and the warning lights started flashing traction control power steering assist failures . steering wheel becomes very difficult to move and steer car. this has happened 1/2 dozen times, each time i slowly steer the car to a safe stop turn off the car and restart the car and error clears out. this last time it occurred as i was turning left from a left turn lane when suddenly in the m idle of the turn my power steering locked up. fortunately i was traveling at very low speed, but i was not able to steer car and went onto oncoming lane again i was fortunate not to hit anyone. however, this time the problem did not clear itself and the car is at the local ford dealer for 8 days now. the service manager says its a gear and ford does not have it in stock!!! *tr | |||

| I was slowing down and getting into the left turn lane. the light was green so i started to turn left and the traction light system came on, both lights, and the steering system failure alert came on and i lost all power steering and almost hit a pole. it was a nice day, no rain or moisture. the pavement was dry. *tr | |||
