Steering Is Tight Problems of Ford Explorer - part 2

I went to subway to get something to eat and got back in car to leave and the steering assist fault service required light came on and steering wheel is very tight. I turned the car off and back on and it's not resetting. I have a tow truck on there way right not. I live in north dakota and had this happened on a highway going a high rate of speed would have been very scary. This car is not even 3 months old and has under 5,000 miles on it. This is very disturbing and needs to be addressed.

Was in park in a fast food drive through and had the vehicle in park and when I put it in drive and accelerated I immediately got an error power steering assist failure and the power steering was gone and very hard to turn the wheel. Luckily it was a straight drive through. I turned off the engine and restarted and the error cleared and I was able to steer again. This is the second time this has occurred with a similar scenario where the steering failed after switching to drive from park. I am not positive of the date of the first time as I did not write it down and thought it was a one time fluke but it was approximately in Feb, 2013. Hearing about others where this has happened while driving at speed has given me great concerns now.

After having multiple issues with the power steering failing while driving our 2012 Ford Explorer, the power steering finally gave out completely. The vehicle now has no power steering and is very hard to drive. This has also affected the electronic traction control. The vehicle is less than 2 years old, so this is very unacceptable. Ford needs to find a solution to this before someone gets in a serious accident and some is seriously injured or worse.

Front brakes has a rubbing, screaming sound, louder when turning or applying brakes, sometimes the steering wheel is hard to turn when this is happening, not for sure if the noise is coming from the front, middle or the back it is so loud, we have 4 years of the sound on tapes. Thought the tapping would help Ford motor company at bluebonnet find the problem, instead we were laughed at and treated rudely. The gear shift has been replaced twice by Ford and still has sticking problem, we even had the Ford corp involved, no solution of the matter has been resolved as of today, Ford corp office offered us a employee rate, but when speaking with a salesperson from blue bonnett Ford, we would loose the $10,000. 00 we put down, I have a vehicle we refuse to drive long distance, in fact we rent a vehicle to go out of town, because Ford could not tell me if it is safe or unsafe, we has owner feel it is dangerous.
