2015 Ford Explorer Electronic stability control Problems

“I got in my 2015 Ford Explorer this morning started the car backed out of the driveway and it would not steer no power steering at all. Apparently there is a steering module within the steering column that gets locked because of traction control there's be several accounts on social media where this has happened when people are driving down the freeway.apparently if this module needs to be replaced the whole steering column needs to be replaced at a cost of over $3,000.”

“We were driving at about 45 miles an hour when advanc trac and power steering light came on. The steering got suddenly very hard to maneuver husband had both hand trying to keep it steady, he had to pull very hard to be able to pull in gas station to get out of traffic. Blinkers no longer worked, terrain knob turned off and didn't work. This could have been a fatal accident if we were going at higher speeds! This problem needs to be recalled so that no one gets killed”

“While driving down the highway the Explorer has suddenly shut down on two occasions. The first time (july 2019) I was driving about 50 MPH. I was able to cruise off into a median. The second time (aug 5, 2019) I was coming off an on ramp onto a busy highway at about 60 MPH. Once again the car suddenly powered off. I was lucky to be in the far right lane and was able to cruise off into a wide grassy area. The traffic I was merging into was at 70 MPH. In both instances the wrench light came on. …”

“'takata recal' when my car has been sitting in the driveway for a full day without being driven or started. The following day you go to start the car. It starts no problem, once your in reverse the battery light will come on and as soon as you put it in drive I lose all power and function to steer. If I hit the gas petal it will regain power. The light will disappear only if I hit ok. This happens every time without fail. I also smell carbon dioxide or gas fumes from time to time”

“I was driving my 2015 Ford Explorer with approximately 34,200 miles 55-60 MPH on us 141 in northern wi when I suddenly lost power steering and traction control. I had an alarm triggered and a fault warning on the dash indicating a steering fault and cleared by pressing the ok on the dash, but had very heavy steering and an indication that the traction control was off. I was able to get to a Ford dealer but they were no able to look at the car for several hours. They suggested I restart the car to see what would reset. …”
