Intermittently, while driving, the advanctrak and terrain management system warning light illuminated, and the "service advanctrak" warning appeared. At the same time, the power steering failed to work, and the "power steering fault" warning appeared. The turn signals also stopped working during these episodes. This has happened 5 times since September 9, 2012, all while driving the vehichle, inlcluding yesterday. In all cases, I had to take the truck off the road and completely shut down the vehichle - upon restarting, the warnings disappeared and the power streeing was restored. I have had the vehichle to the dealer twice now, with no issues found. I have a 3rd appointment with the dealer today.
I agree about the microphone on the my touch system. It picks up wind noise, air conditioning/heating fan noise & when it rains, driver can not be heard. It seems that the roof does not have insulation to allow the driver to speak to the microphone without shouting. I did mention this to the Ford service department at our local Ford dealer and was told that this is the way it comes from the factory.
Tl - the contact owns a 2011 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that when he tried to pressed the brake his foot rest on a bar thats next to the brake pedal instead of the brake pad. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that was the way the vehicle was design and they could not alter it. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 60. Pm.
