Front Suspension Hub problems of the 2015 Ford Explorer

A little over a month ago the left rear toe link broke while driving. This caused the car to lose control and go into a sideways slide, breaking the wheel hub in the process. Smooth road going about 50 mph in good conditions. We got the car fixed and had to pay for the repairs since the car is no longer under factory warranty. After the Ford dealer in mchenry IL had it for over a week, we got the car back, drove it for a few days and suddenly we had a cracked exhaust flex pipe. We had to pay several hundred more to get that repaired. Again, driven on smooth roads in the summer, nothing that would have caused this so suddenly. Got the car back again after several more days in the shop. . Drove it for a couple more days and the left rear toe link broke. . Again. . . Dealer this time installed the "recall kit" on both sides. Luckily, this time it was at slow speeds coming into a parking lot . Had the car towed back to the dealer. Again. . We have had the car back for about 3 days now, and the left toe link has come loose. . Again. . The car will be towed back to the dealer tomorrow because it is unsafe to drive. It was driven 3 times at low speeds around town since we got it back. My wife is now afraid to drive the car out of fear of it breaking again. This is a serious issue if the recall part doesn't work. When this part fails, this car has a severe loss of control and can very easily result in an accident. Ford needs to get to the bottom of this before someone gets killed.

A blind spot sensor warning came on Sunday 10-29 at 10:30am on the drivers side sensor while at a red light. Approximately 4 miles later, the car began swerving and veered suddenly to the right hitting a curb. We continued swerving and hit the curb another 3 times and came to a stop. The car was out of control and we were in 4 lanes of traffic. The car is at the Ford dealership and was diagnosed with a broken rear suspension tow link. A recal was issued 4/26/16 stating the tow link may fracture and according to Ford, my VIN number is not included in the recall. In January 2017, my rear hub bearing assembly went out and and was repaired under warranty and has since been announced as a recall on 8/28/17.

Ford motor company (Ford) is recalling certain wheel hub bearing assemblies, part number hb5z-1104-c, incorrectly listed as being for installation on the rear axles of 2011-2017 Ford Explorer 4x2 vehicles. These bearings assemblies were manufactured without a self retention feature, possibly resulting in the separation of the wheel or wheel end. Is nootgood.
