2013 FORD EXPLORER Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. WITHIN LESS THAN A WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, CARBON MONOXIDE ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (SKALNEK FORD, 941 S LAPEER RD, LAKE ORION, MI 48362, (248) 693-6241) STATED THAT THERE WAS A TSB THAT COULD BE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. AN UNKNOWN PART WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED THREE RECALLS ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA17002 (STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ODOR NOTICED IN VEHICLE CABIN INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, PARTICULARLY WHILE ACCELERATING. HAVE NOW FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

DRIVING AT 55MPH ON A HIGHWAY MY FORD EXPLORER SPORT 2013 COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND A AMBER WRENCH CAME ON ALONG WITH 2 MORE WARNINGS (TERRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAULT AND SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT). I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT DID IT 2-3 TIMES THE SAME NIGHT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED ON A INTERSTATE AT A HIGHER SPEED.

I FOUND CRACKS IN THE DOOR JAM OF THE REAR LIFTGATE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. FOLLOWING THIS DISCOVERY I FOUND FLOOR BOARDS SOAKED IN WATER, WATER DRIPPING DOWN MY 3RD ROW SEAT BELT ONTO THE FLOOR BOARDS AND INTO THE SPARE TIRE WELL. FOLLOWING THIS MY MOONROOF QUIT WORKING. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING EMISSIONS ENTERING THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING PEOPLE TO PASS OUT AND WRECK THEIR VEHICLES. TOOK THE CAR TO FORD AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER THE CRACKS IN THE NON WRECKED VEHICLE UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY STATE THEY ARE UNRELATED. IF WATER IS GETTING INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR THROUGH A CRACK THEN EMISSIONS PROBABLY ARE TOO.

UNPLEASANT FOUL ODOR EMITTED INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHENEVER ACCELERATING WITHIN MID TO HIGH RPM RANGE SUCH AS WHEN PASSING OR PULLING A GRADE. FUMES SMELL SIMILAR TO ROTTEN EGGS OR SULFUR. FOUL ODOR CAUSES HEADACHES DURING PERIODS OF EXTENDED EXPOSURE SUCH AS WHEN DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING VENT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ODOR CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE HEAD PRESSURE, DIZZINESS, EYES SORES, EYE PAIN, AND INABILITY TO SLEEP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (TED BRITT FORD FAIRFAX, 11165 FAIRFAX BLVD, FAIRFAX, VA 22030) WHERE IT WAS CLEANED, BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS CLEANED, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

CARBON MONOXIDE / EXHAUST ENTER INTO THE CABIN DURING DAILY DRIVING. CONFIRMED WITH GAS DETECTOR

WEIRD SMELL WHEN A/C IS TURNED ON AND WHEN ACCELERATING.

THE CAR HAS HAD CONSISTENT ODOR PENETRATION INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER 2012. THERE IS A SULFUR-LIKE OR ROTTEN-EGG SMELL...ALMOST LIKE NATURAL GAS. MORE RECENTLY I AM ALSO GETTING A SEPARATE ODOR OF BURNING OIL. THE SMELL IS MOST PRESENT WHEN THE CAR'S WINDOWS ARE ALL UP AND THE A/C SYSTEM IS ON. THE OIL SMELL IS ALSO NOTICEABLE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BE RELATED TO THE WELL-PUBLICIZED ISSUE WITH POLICE VERSIONS OF THE FORD EXPLORER. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE FUMES COULD BE TOXIC AND I AM BEING EXPOSED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME TO POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING WITH EITHER THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEAT ACTIVATED, THE ODOR OF CARBON MONOXIDE ENTERED THE CABIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CONDITION WAS WORSE WHILE IN RECIRCULATION MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (HAYFORD FORD, 1330 301ST AVE NE, ISANTI, MN, 55040) WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE PER TSB: 16-0165, BUT IT WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE COST OF THE REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A TSB, BUT NO OPEN RECALL AND OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

WE BOUGHT OUR VEHICLE USED IN 2015 WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES ON IT. IT IS OUR MAIN, FAMILY VEHICLE. THE FIRST ISSUES STARTED WITH PAINT CHIPPING ON THE HOOD. THE FORD STORE WE BOUGHT IT FROM NEVER STATED THIS WAS A PROBLEM. WE DID NOTICE IT AFTER HAVING IT AT HOME AND IT HAS GRADUALLY BECOME WORSE. I HAVE HAD USAA INSPECT IT AND THEY SAID IT LOOKS LIKE "SOMEONE DROVE IT WHERE THERE WAS HIGH SULFUR PRESENT"---NEAR WATER OR ETC. THE SECOND ISSUE IS WITH THE ENGINE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OUR VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO TURN OVER AT THE FIRST START. WILL SIT THERE AND MAKE NOISES LIKE IT IS TRYING BUT FAIL AND TURN OFF. ONE INSTANCE HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON A STREET ROAD. CAR HAD TROUBLE STARTING AND THEN SHUT OFF RANDOMLY. WE HAVE CONTACTED USAA AND TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL FORD...

THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO BLOW EXHAUST DIRECTLY INTO THE CABIN. I HAD TO FORCE THE DEALER TO FIX THIS, AS THEY ARGUED EXHAUST IS NOT DANGEROUS. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS, FROM THE FACTORY, PROVING IT WAS A KNOWN SERIOUS ISSUE, NOT DISCLOSED TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP DID A HORRIBLE JOB IN THE "REPAIR" - HAVING BROKEN OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR IN THE PROCESS. AFTER THEY "REPAIRED" THE CAR, IT BEGAN RANDOMLY SHUDDERING, WHILE IDLING. I HAVE ATTACHED A VIDEO OF IT. YOU WILL NEED TO TURN UP THE VOLUME TO THE MAX, AS YOUTUBE COMPRESSED THE SOUND TERRIBLY. I HAVE ONE WITNESS TO THIS HAPPENING TWICE. THE ENGINE STARTS VIBRATING WITH SUCH FEROCITY THAT IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. THE WITNESS IS WILLING TO TESTIFY IN COURT. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=JOHECICECTK ....

I'VE NOTICED THIS SMELL EVERY TIME I TURNED MY CAR ON/OFF OR WOULD GET FINISHED DRIVING. IT WOULD BE IN THE DRIVERS CABIN DOWN AT THE FLOOR WHERE IT CAME FROM. I FIRST NOTICED IT THERE AND HAD MENTIONED IT TO FORD WHEN THERE FOR SERVICE. IT SMELLS LIKE A NATURAL GAS ( LIKE AT HOME ) LEAK. I'D SMELL IT IF HE AIR OR HEAT WAS ON BRINGING IT INTO THE CABIN. THE SAME SMELL WOULD BE PRESENT WHEN I STOPPED DRIVING AND WOULD OP N THE DOOR. SMELLED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL AREA. IT PERSISTED FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. I'VE TOLD FORD MANY TIMES BUT THEY SAY THERE'S NO RECALL. OR THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF ITS MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. AT THE TIME IN 2014, WHEN I REALLY TOOK NOTICE, MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I BOUGHT MY CAR OUT...

EXHAUST FUMES IN CABIN - SINCE WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE EXPLORER FOR THREE MONTHS (IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP GETTING AN UPDATED TURBO), MY WIFE HAS NOT HAD ANY UNEXPLAINED HEADACHES AFTER SPENDING ALL DAY RUNNING ERRANDS IN THE EXPLORER.

UNDER MODERATE TO HARD ACCELERATION STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF VEHICLE. CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN ON DEMAND.

THE TURBO BOOST WENT OUT ON MY 2013 EXPLORER, I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 15 MONTHS AND IT HAS 76000 MILES ON IT. APPARENTLY THE PART IS BACKORDERED DUE TO THIS HAPPENING TO A TON OF EXPLORERS. I HAD TO GO ON A WAITING LIST AND I AM NUMBER 488 TO GET THIS PART, THEY ARE TELLING ME IT WILL TAKE MONTHS AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I COULD LOOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING AND MAKE THINGS WORST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN'T BE WITHOUT A CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT GIVE ME A LOANER CAR EITHER. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF E-MAILS REGARDING THE SAME THING, DON'T YOU THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES? I AM BESIDE MYSELF AND HAVE KNOW IDEA HOW I AM GOING TO BE WITHOUT A CAR, DO I CHANCE DRIVING IT AND MAY POSSIBLE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ODOR OF EXHAUST/CARBON MONOXIDE EMITTED THROUGH THE VENT OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BECOME DROWSY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST ODOR REMAINED PERMANENTLY IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION FORD DEALER, LOCATED ON 1227 GULF FREEWAY, HOUSTON, TX 77034 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REFILL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE REPAIR AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,126.

THE VEHICLE WAS TESTED AND FOUND TO HAVE 10 PPM OF CO IN THE INTERIOR.

EXHAUST ENTERS THE CABIN DURING HEAVY ACCELERATION AT MEDIUM TO HIGH SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2013.

EXHAUST FUMES WHEN I ACCELERATE, NOT FLOOR BOARDING IT BUT JUST REGULAR ACCELERATION THAT YOU SMELL IN THE CABIN. I BROUGHT IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2015 OCTOBER.

ROTTEN EGG/SULFUR SMELL IN CABIN DURING HARD ACCELERATION / C02 INFILTRATION CAUSING PASSENGER HEADACHES / NAUSEA. WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY SPEEDS OR ACCELERATING TO PASS A VEHICLE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT SULFUR SMELL IN THE CABIN. THE SMELL IS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON AND IN RECIRCULATE MODE, BUT IS PRESENT REGARDLESS OF AC OR RECIRC MODE (CAN BE WHEN VENT OR HEAT IS ACTIVE ALSO).

MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN CONCERN. IT HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY THE TECHNICIAN AT JONES FORD IN NORTH CHARLESTON, SC. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY 2017. IT CURRENTLY HAS 58000 MILES ON IT. FORD IS TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS ISSUE UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED FROM THEM.

THERE IS A CONSISTENT SMELL OF SULFUR OR GAS COMING INTO THE CAR THROUGH THE VENTS. I WAS LIGHT HEADED AND DIZZY WHILE DRIVING. STOPPED AND ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN. THIS WAS NOT JUST ONCE BUT FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I SEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY FORD EXPLORER FOR THIS ISSUES. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT I AM TO DO?

SINCE PURCHASING OUR FORD EXPLORER NEW EXHAUST FUMES FILL THE CABIN WHEN ACCELERATING (INCREASE IN RPM). AFTER LONG TRIPS CAUSES HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS. IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 4 YEARS. WE HAVE HAD THE FORD SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS ISSUE PERFORMED AND PROBLEM REMAINS.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERINCING EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN I ACCELLARATE AT A HIGH R.P.M.

'TAKATA RECALL' STRONG SMELL OF SULFUR,ENGINE OIL AND GASOLINE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,216.

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM. THERE IS A PUNGENT ODOR COMING FROM THE SYSTEM AT VARIOUS TIMES, USUALLY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS OPERATING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND THE SOURCE HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED. THE ENGINE WILL BEGIN RUNNING ROUGH AT IDLE, BOTH IN DRIVE AND PARK, AS THOUGH IT WERE GOING TO STALL. THE PROBLEM WAS CHECKED AND COMPARED TO ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE, WHICH HAD NOT BEEN PURCHASED, AND IDENTIFIED AS BEING "NORMAL". MOST RECENTLY BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILED. THEY WERE REPLACED AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE CORRECTED ANY OTHER ISSUE.

THE SMELL OF EXHAUST FILLS THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WHEN IT IS IN MOTION.

STRONG EXHAUST/GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING WITH WINDOWS CLOSED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING ON.

EXHAUST FUMES WHEN ACCELERATING.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR BACK TO FORD BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE SMELL OF EXHAUST COMES BACK INTO THE CAR. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT THERE THEY SAID THIS IS THE LAST WAY THAT FORD WILL ALLOW THEM TO FIX, WELL IT DID NOT FIX IT. MY GRANDDAUGHTER GETS DEATHLY SICK WITH PROJECTILE VOMITTING WHEN SHE RIDES IN MY CAR. I HAVE MADE THE COMMENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT IF I PUT A PARAKEET IN MY CAR IT WOULD DIE, I GET NO REPLY. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR I TRY NOT TO ACCELERATE TO MUCH(HAHA). MY MOTHER DOES NOT LIKE TO RIDE IN MY CAR SHE IS ELDERLY AND SHE DOES NOT NEED TO BE SMELLING THAT. I HAVE DRIVEN FORD EXPLORERS FOREVER AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH A CAR LIKE THIS. FORD DOES NOT TAKE ME SERIOUS ABOUT...

THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT OF COURSE, FORD...

OIL SUPPLY LINE TO TURBO LEAKING. NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO MAKE THE REPAIR THROUGH FORD. THIS IS THE SAME PART FAILURE AND HAS CAUSED A RECALL IN THE 2016 - 2017 FORD EXPLORER SPORTS. FORD NEEDS TO LOOK AT PREVIOUS YEARS TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FOR ALL 2011 TO PRESENT. (FIRE HAZARD)

WHILE DRIVING MY EXPLORER WILL LOSE ALL POWER AFTER 30-45 MINUTES IT WILL RESTART AND RUN FINE FOR A DAY OR SO AND THEN HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN IT LOSES POWER ALL OF THE WARNINGS WILL APPEAR AND THE RADIO WILL STILL WORK. WHEN I RESTART THE VEHICLE IT TAKES A MINUTE FOR THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT NO RECALL! THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING A BOTH 35-40 MPH ON CITY STREETS AND HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF ABOUT SIX TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

MY TRUCK HAS ALMOST 120000 MILES. AND WE WERE DRIVING AND NOTICE THE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. WE WENT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND HAD THE TRUCK SCANNED TO SEE WHAT CODE WOULD COME UP. IT SAID THERE WAS TWO CYLINDER MISFIRED. AND THAT IT PROBABLY CAME FROM BAD FUEL. AND THEN THE ENGINE STARTED JUMPING AND SKIPPING. WE FINALLY GOT IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THERE'S TAPPING AND KNOCKING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NOW THE TRUCK NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THEY QUOTED ME A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF $10,000. WE'VE KEPT UP WITH ALL THE OIL CHANGES ALONG WITH HAVING THE A/C COMPRESSOR REPLACED BECAUSE IT WENT OUT AS WELL. THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH A USED OR REMANUFACTURED ENGINE FOR $3700. THERE IS NO WAY A 2013 FORD EXPLORER WITH LESS THAN 120,000 MILES NEEDS A NEW...

EXHAUST SMELL IS EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE AND DISTURBING, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM TRAVELLING WITH A 3 YEAR OLD. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY? I HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WHEN THE GAS LINE HAD A LEAK AND THAT IS ALL I COULD SMELL.

DURING HEAVY ACCELERATION ... FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I'M ENTERING A HIGHWAY... REALLY STRONG SMELL OF ENGINE FUMES ENTER THE CABIN... EVERY TIME. I HAVE A 2013 FORD EXPLORER XLT - VERY HAPPY WITH MY FORD OTHERWISE.
