- 2013 Explorer Limited
On Monday, as I was driving, I had four different alert (and related system failures) come up at the same time - Collision Warning Not Available, Cross Traffic System Fault, a picture of a wrench (which the owners manual indicates to be a powertrain failure) and a Service AdvancTrac alert. I pulled over, at which time I realized that no gear indicator was lit (on the display panel, the gear that you are in-in my case Drive-is lit up orange), the Stability Control indicator and Stability Control Off indicator lights were both on and nothing was lit up on the Terrain Response dial. I shifted the car in to park, at which time the car jolted hard into park. When I subsequently turned the car of and back on, all was back to normal.
Took care to dealership and they couldn't recreate the problem so they returned my care to me and sent me on my way.
Today, as I was changing lanes, my power steering went out and the Lane Keeping System Malfunction Svc. Required and Power Steering Assist Fault alerts both came on. I had to carefully drive my Explorer off the road to park and call roadside assistance. I haven't tried driving it again and will be having it looked at by the dealership again tomorrow.
I am waiting to hear what they recommend but am wondering if anyone else has had this crazy mix of system failures happen. Is a 2013 Explorer Limited with 21k miles.
Any ideas or suggestions? Am a bit nervous about driving it again and loosing my power steering at a dangerous time and/or other system failures that might happen in light of the strange blend of failures that cropped up just this week.......
