2011 FORD EXPLORER Complaints

THE TRUCK WAS DRIVING SMOOTHLY AND I TURNED IT OFF, TEN MINUTES LATER THE TRUCK POWER STEERING WAS RIDICULOUSLY THOUGH I COULD BARELY DRIVE BACK HOME,STILL CAN'T USED THE TRUCK,CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT THIS TRUCK DOES HAS A ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING RECALL BUT THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 1000 MILES OF THE MILES THATS IN THE RECALL SYSTEM, COULDN'T IMAGINE IF THAT SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD'VE OCCURRED AN ACCIDENT I DONT THINK ITS FAIR THAT THIS MODELS HAVE A RECALL AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE NOT DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT, I REALLY NEED SOME HELP I HAVE KIDS AND I CANNOT ENDANGER THEM BY THIS MISTAKE THE FABRICATORS DONE.

ON FEBRUARY 14, 2021 WHILE CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES OF MY 4 COOPER ADVENTURER H/T CUV 245/60R18 TIRES. I NOTICED NUMEROUS SPLITTING OF THE LOWER SIDEWALL, AROUND THE BEADS OF ALL 4 TIRES. THIS IS NOT NORMAL DRY ROT / CRACKING OF THE LOWER SIDEWALL. THE SPLITTING OF THE SIDEWALLS HAVE GAPS FROM 1/16TH TO 1/8TH OF AN INCH WIDE. THE GAPS ARE 2 - 3/32NDS OF AN INCH DEEP. THE DOT #'S OF ALL 4 TIRES ARE UP83 1HT 4117. THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED AROUND THE BEGINNING OF 2018. THE TIRES HAVE APPROX. 25K MILES ON THEM. COOPER TIRES / PEP BOYS HAVE A 65K WARRANTY ON THESE TIRES. THERE IS APPROX. 7 - 9/32NDS OF THREAD LEFT ON ALL 4 TIRES. JUNE 5, 2019 COOPER TIRES ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS EXACT MODEL TIRE BUT IN A DIFFERENT SIZE. THE TIRE SIZE IN THIS RECALL IS 235/65R18. FEBRUARY 26, 2021 COOPER TIRES HAS ISSUED YET ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL ON THIS EXACT MODEL TIRE BUT IN A DIFFERENT SIZE. THE TIRE SIZE IN THIS RECALL IS 275/65R18. BOTH, JUNE 5, 2019 AND FEBRUARY 26, 2021 RECALLS OF THE COOPER ADVENTURER H/T CUV TIRES WERE ISSUED DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS OF THE LOWER SIDEWALL. THE 4 COOPER ADVENTURER H/T CUV 245/60R18 INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE HAVE VERY SIMILAR LOWER SIDEWALL DEFECTS, AS BOTH OF THE ISSUED RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT SAME TIRE MODEL. I FEEL THAT THE SPLITTING OF MY TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY 245/60R18 COOPER ADVENTURER H/T CUV TIRES, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER SIZES OF THIS MODEL TIRE MADE BY COOPER, ADDED TO SAFETY RECALL TIRE LIST.

DRIVING AT 35 MPH THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND JUST STOPPED. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ALARMS WENT OFF BEFOREHAND. ONCE THE CAR STOPPED, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AN ALARM SOUNDED. WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO FORD. THEY CALLED THIS MORNING AND SAID THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THEY QUOTED $8,000.00. 8 WEEKS AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND THEN THE POWER STEERING ALARM CAME ON. TOOK IT TO FORD AND HAD THE POWER STEERING REPLACED AT A COST OF $1800.00. THEN, LESS THEN 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. AND AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHTS UNTIL THE POWER STEERING WEN OUT. FORD SAID IT WAS BECAUSE MY TIRES HAD LOW TREAD AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY FRONT TIRES, WHICH WE HAD THEM DO. 8 MONTHS AGO, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.
