Two problems related to steering have been reported for the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving 55 mph and keeping steering wheel steady vehicle wandered to left lane on its own. Dealer replaced steering mechanism, but vehicle still pulls to left. Customer states vehicle drifts to the left when turned steering wheel and will not turn cometimes to the right.
My purchased new $30,000 2001 Ford 2 door Explorer Sport dies often causing no brakes or steering. In 2001, it died and rolled over with no steering or brakes when my wife was driving home, leaving her stranded upside down. Ford would not respond and local dealers would not or could not solve the problem. It still dies and all recalls were presumably done, including the firestone tires which were the best part of the vehicle. Numerous letters to Ford were never acknowledged. I would like to have a refund on this vehicle. Can you help me?.
