Some Ford Explorer owners report experiencing power steering failure, which may be accompanied by lane keeping system issues and steering assist fault messages. These problems can arise from faults in the electric power steering assist system, such as a steering motor sensor malfunction. Additionally, worn or damaged components in the power steering system, including the steering pump, power steering rack, or control valve, are common culprits behind these faults. To address the power steering assist fault message, owners are advised to have their vehicles inspected by a qualified Ford technician for proper diagnosis and repair. The power steering system's failure triggers a warning that requires immediate attention. Furthermore, when the Lane Keeping System is not functioning correctly, owners should ensure that it is enabled and set to the right mode; if issues continue, a professional inspection is recommended. Prompt resolution of these issues is essential to ensure the safety and functionality of the vehicle.
