Steering Column problems of the 2015 Ford Explorer

I have had replace the steering rack in this car twice. Once at 50k miles and then again at 92k miles. I have owned a lot of vehicles and have never had to replace a steering column, let alone 2. Researching it on the web it seems to be common in the car and very dangerous. It's so common that the dealer I brought it to stocks the part. That's scary! I have attached my 2 invoices for the same steering replacement. I'm hoping to at least get refunded for the second one. Or better yeat both if youy decide there should be a recall for this problem.

I got in my 2015 Ford Explorer this morning started the car backed out of the driveway and it would not steer no power steering at all. Apparently there is a steering module within the steering column that gets locked� because of traction control there's be several accounts on social media where this has happened when people are driving down the freeway. Apparently if this module needs to be replaced� the whole steering column needs to be replaced at a cost of over $3,000.

Us service member overseas (which complicates the solution). Purchased vehicle in us in August 2015. Currently about 45,000 miles on a 2015 Ford Explorer sport and loud pop from steering column at low speeds. Local mechanic says entire steering column needs replaced and over 2600 euro ($3000). Shouldn't happen at low miles. Others experiencing similar issues across model years.

This was the 3rd time it had happened. On 5/11/2018 the steering wheel locked up in the parking lot and not on the highway like before. We had to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. The dealership verified that it was locked up and the codes were still displaying on the dash. After investigating the codes the dealer stated that the steering column needed to be replaced. Well when the steering column was replaced we went to pick it up. It was reported by the dealer that a sensor had shorted out on the column causing the issue. So my wife and I did not!!! feel safe driving this vehicle after this knowing that it could happen again. Not a good feeling.
