- 2011 Explorer
Two months ago, I had to replace the steering rack on my 2011 Explorer. Two days ago, the steering went loose. I had to keep the wheel turned about 30 degrees right to keep the truck going straight. Back to the dealer expecting the last repair had failed, but no ... The subframe has rotted away. I can post pictures.
Someone could have been killed. Ford offers no advice or help because my truck is too old -- 2011! I am one month and four days outside the statute of limitations.
How common is this? I've read about frame rot on lots of other Ford trucks, but none this young. I know that Ford recalled trucks for precisely this problem, but only in the snow belt. Anyone have any advice?
