The check charging system light came on and the power steering locked up, once it locks it stays mostly down. I was going around a curb at about 55mph when this happened with my two children. If that is not a safety issue I do not know what is. I could have wrecked and we could have been seriously injured or worse. Now my check brake system light is also on, check engine light, and it has a leak in the driver's side third row seatbelt. Now I know that it's said to have the battery and alternator tested and that has been done. I feel like I wasted a lot of money that I honestly did not have to buy a decent vehicle for me and my kids. This part is not under recall for my vehicle, however I have done my research and there are numerous recalls, investigations, and complaints. I need this issue fixed.

Purchased my 2013 ford explorer limited with 50 miles on it in november 2012.during 2015 had a strong mold smell,upon investigation found approximately 3'' of water in my spare tire storage area, 3rd row seat shoulder belt wet and carpet under 3rd row seat passenger side soaked.took to ford dealership while under warranty on 4-27-2015 / 32,002 miles,had 17 days.took in under warranty 6-25-2015 with 34,460 miles,had 4 days.took in 3-11-16 with 44,501 miles,dealership sent vehicle to their bodyshop for 4 days.took to dealership 2-14-18 they sent it off sight to jr's automotive to repair water leak.took to dealership 1-20-19 for exact same issue that I have had for approximately 5 years, found water in vehicle same area 2 days later.in the approximately last 5 years I have had 2 cases opened with "ford customer relations center"as described in the manual that came with the vehicle plus filed a claim with bbb when it was apparent that I would never get off of the merry-go-round with ford.bbb turned me down base on too many miles on vehicle which remember is not a mechanical issue but a weather dependent issue.I could have taken vehicle to dealership dozen of times during this period but because of inconvenience without a vehicle and working 12 hour shift work it was just impracticable.all issues with water inside of vehicle was when I checked it after it was parked and of course with rain or melted snow involved and on a city street.
