2011 FORD EXPLORER Fuelpropulsion System Problems

Hidráulic problem

The fuel sending unit goes bad due to the split tank and differential and drive train have to be taken apart and dropped in order to change. Costing over $1,000.00. You can not go under half a tank of gas and if you do you just run out of gas immediately causing you to stop on highways side roads etc.Its very dangerous to have a vehicle that will just all of a sudden run out of gas and no one is paying to get them fixed because of the pricepoint charged to repair. This is Fords faulty work 1000%

9/25/22 My 2011 Ford Explorer xlt would start jerking when pushing on the gas paddle and then would start losing speed or power. Today is the third day this has happened so I looked on YouTube and entered my symptoms of my car and it suggested it could be my (electronic position sensor). And YouTube told me there is an extended warranty on this part. I have 140000 miles this vehicle. This vehicle has not been inspected or confirmed by a dealership as of yet. There was no warning when this problem began and no warning lights on the dashboard. I am very hesitant in driving this vehicle around town , fearing it may stop completely.

The vehicle has been in for service at Downs Ford Dealership twice in the past two years for the same issue and has yet to be resolved. When the gas tank is filled with gas, there is overwhelming smell of gas that doesn’t get better until the tank is about half full. The first time the car was in for service, I was told that the gas tank needed to be replaced but they were having trouble finding one. They said to take the car home and they would call when they found one but they never called. The vehicle was brought in a 2nd time to fix the issue in July of 2021. At that time we were told a valve needed to be replaced and charged $500 but it has not fixed the issue. I’m frustrated and tired of wasting $ and time without my car when they...

No warning when the fuel relay gasket attached to the pump assembly fails and allows fuel vapor to fill the cabin of the car. Owner safety is at risk of possible fire. I know of 2 Ford dealerships that are aware of the safety hazard.

AS A REPAIR SHOP OWNER, THE VEHICLE OWNER STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK. I NOTICED FUEL STAINS FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK SO I REMOVED THE TANK AND FOUND FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. I FOUND THE STEEL LOCK RING RETAINING THE MODULE TO THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK HAD RUSTED AND THE RESULTING RUST 'BLOOM' HAD CRUSHED THE PLASTIC FLANGE CAUSING THE FUEL LEAK. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON ANOTHER CAR ( 2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, VIN [XXX]) JUST LAST WEEK WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER SHARING THE PICTURES WITH A DIAGNOSTIC DISCUSSION GROUP, OTHERS HAVE SEEN THIS AROUND THE COUNTRY AND CANADA, ESPECIALLY IN THE "RUST BELT" STATES. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO APPLY TO ANY FUEL SYSTEM WITH A PLASTIC FUEL PUMP MODULE AND A STEEL LOCK RING IN A RUST PRONE AREA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE...

CAR ONLY HAS 64K BUT HAS STARTED LEAKING FUEL, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. FUEL LEAK APPEARS TO BE NEAR RIGHT REAR WHEEL AND DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO EXHAUST PIPE. REPAIR SHOP ESTIMATES $1000 TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP.

MY VEHICLE PRODUCES UNBEARABLE SMELL THAT GETS INSIDE THE CABIN WHENEVER THE RPM REACHES 3500 AND HIGHER AND IF THE VEHICLE IS IN LOW GEAR AND DRIVING UP HILL AND ALSO WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLE AND YOU RAVE UP TH ENGINE. THE SMELL THAT GETS INSIDE THE CABIN COULD MAKE ONE PASS OUT UNLESS WE ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS COMPLETELY TO LET A LOT OF FRESH AIR INSIDE. I WENT THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM THE FIRST MONTH AND THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND GOT BACK TO ME THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ALREADY RESOLVED BEFORE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR AND ITS FIXED ALREADY BUT ITS NOT I'VE DRIVING THE CAR NOW FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS AND VERY CAUTIOUS WITH IT AS WHENEVER THE INCIDENT HAPPENS I FEEL VERY DIZZY BY THAT SMELL.

FUEL SYSTEM LEAKS FROM THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. SIGNIFICANT GAS LEAK WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TANK FULL. GAS SMELL AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE. PUMP IS NEAR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS A FIRE HAZARD. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 62K MILES ON IT. IT COST ME $825 TO REPAIR. FORD HAS NO TSB ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE SUV, AN ORANGE WRENCH ERROR CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. THEN THE SUV HAD NO ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE SUV AND TURN IT BACK ON. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE SUV HAD ACCELERATION, BUT THIS ERROR AND NO ACCELERATION KEEPS HAPPENING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF, BUT DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL LISTED FOR THIS ISSUE FOR MY TRUCK.

SINCE I PURCHASED BY 2011, NEW IN 2011, I HAVE NOTED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR UPON EXCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SMELL WILL LINGER AND REQUIRES NECESSITY TO CRACK MY WINDOWS TO CLEAR. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS WITH MY LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTER TWICE, BUT THEY HAVE HAD NO ANSWERS. IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, UPON RE-ENTERING THE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING AND PARKING, I HAVE NOTED A PUNGENT SMELL SIMILAR TO SCORCHED HAIR INTERMITTENTLY. CONCERNED ABOUT EXHAUST FUMES AND POTENTIAL CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

I HAVE 2011 FORD EXPLORER, WHICH I TAKE INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE REGULARLY. I HAVE HAD ME EXPLORER A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY EXPLORER AND I WOULD TAKE IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE, I WOULD TELL THEM I SMELL EXHAUST FUMES ON THE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. ONLY ONCE DID THEY CHECK IT FOR ME. AT THAT TIME, THEY SAID THE GUY COULDN'T SMELL ANYTHING. WELL, TODAY 8-24-17, I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR ANOTHER ISSUE. MY EXPLORER ENGINE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN I WOULD DECELERATE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT WAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHILE DRIVING...THEY ARE REPAIRING TODAY. BUT, I ALSO ASK THEM TO CHECK FOR EXHAUST SMELLS ONCE AGAIN. WELL TODAY, I GUESS SOMEONE SMELLED THE EXHAUST BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIX IT AT A COST OVER $200.00. SAID IT WAS AN UPDATE FOR THE EXHAUST MODULE...

UPON HEAVY ACCELERATION SUCH AS WHEN PULLING ONTO A HIGHWAY, OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, AN EXHAUST/FUEL SMELL WILL ENTER THE VEHICLE AND BE VERY NOTICEABLE TO EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON, ON RECIRCULATION. MY WIFE (PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS 2011 FORD EXPLORER) COMPLAINS OF A LOT OF HEADACHES AND I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF SHE IS GETTING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING FROM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DAILY. WE ARE GOING TO BUY A CO2 DETECTOR TO SEE IF THIS IS IN FACT TRUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES FILLED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED, BUT RECURRED LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AWAITING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH SMELLING EXHAUST IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING SUDDENLY.

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION I GET A STING ODOR IN THE CABIN. IT IS LIKE AN EXHAUST SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. IT ALWAYS DOES IT ABOVE 3500 RPM.

I AM NOT CERTAIN WHERE TO FULLY POST THIS OR WHAT CAN HAPPEN FOR THIS CAR. I GAVE THIS CAR BACK TO WESTLIE FORD IN CAMAS, WA. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY A DOCTOR THAT 3 PEOPLE GOT SULFUR POISONING FROM THIS CAR. I SAW THIS CAR INSTANTLY BACK ON FORDS LOT EVEN THOUGH I HAD ADVISED THEM IT GAVE ME SULFUR POISON. WHEN MY FRIEND EMAILED INQUIRING ABOUT THE CAR THEY ADVISED THAT THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN CHECKED BUT WAS A KEEPER. THEY CAR WAS A LEMON FROM THE START AND EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE CAR FOR 7 MONTHS IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS OF THAT TIME PERIOD FOR DIFFERENT REPAIRS. WE ALSO INQUIRED ABOUT THAT WITH EVERYTHING ON THE CAR FAX REPORT. THEY CAME BACK THAT IT WAS JUST BASIC MAINTENANCE. 7 ISSUES IN 7 MONTHS WAS NOT BASIC FIXES. THE OTHER...

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAS NOZZLE WOULD SHUT OFF. EVEN WHEN I WAS VERY SLOWLY PUMPING IN GAS , THE PUMP WOULD SHUT OFF VERY MUCH LIKE A TANK INDICATING IT WAS FULL WHICH I KNOW WAS NOT THE CASE. THEN GAS WOULD DRIP/STREAM (NUMEROUS DRIPS AND STREAMS)) UNDER THE VEHICLE CREATING A BASKETBALL SIZE GAS SPOT. UPON SERVICE AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THE TANK VENT TUBE WAS BLOCKED BY COBWEBS. DRIVING FOR OVER 50 YEARS , I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 FORD EXPLORER XLT. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS RECENTLY GONE BAD AND IS STAYING STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR IT TO GET STUCK WHEN GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OR EVEN A SLOWER RATE FOR THAT MATTER. THE THROTTLE BODIES WERE A BIG ISSUE FOR THE FORD ESCAPES IN THE PAST SO FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THEM, UNFORTUNATELY IT DOESN'T APPLY TO THE EXPLORER ALTHOUGH IT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EXPLORER. WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED ONLY A HALF OF A TANK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH, WARNING COMES ON THE CONSOLE "AWD IS OFF" AND THE ENGINE IS DOWN TO IDLE SPEED (~800 RPM). PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR RESULTS IN NO SPEED INCREASE, FORCING ME TO MOVE ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITH ONLY THE BRAKES WORKING (NO CONTROL OVER MY SPEED, OTHERWISE). PULLED OVER, STOPPED THE ENGINE, LOOKED AROUND AND COULD SEE NO EXTERNALLY VISIBLE PROBLEMS (FLUID LEAKS, ETC.). START THE CAR AND THERE ARE NO WARNINGS, SO I CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD, BUT THIS TIME STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE AND KEEP THE SPEED TO AROUND 60. LESS THAN 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS. AT THIS POINT WE CALL FORD TO GET US A TOW. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS EVENT TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAD THE EXPLORER FULL WITH MY FAMILY! TODAY THE SERVICING DEALER CALLED AND SAID...

VEHICLE GAS TANK WAS FILLED. FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 3/4 FULL - AFTER A BRIEF DRIVE (LESS THAN 20 MILES) VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND FUEL GAUGE SHOWED LESS THAN HALF A TANK. VEHICLE WAS PUT IN SHOP FOR REPAIR. ON 9/17 - IT WAS PICKED UP ON 9/20 - TRUCK WAS FILLED UP AGAIN ON 9/23 AND FUEL GAUGE AGAIN SHOWED 3/4 FULL.

UPON MEDIUM TO HEAVY ACCELERATION, SUCH AS ACCELERATING ONTO A FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE CABIN IS FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES FROM THE ENGINE. THIS INJURES THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM OF THE PASSENGERS. FORD HAS FINALLY ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND THEY ARE WORKING ON A FIX (AFTER MY FAMILY HAS BEEN BREATHING POLLUTED AIR FOR ALMOST 1.5 YEARS). *TR
