2013 FORD EXPLORER Unknown Or Other Problems

I OWN A FORD EXPLORER AND IT'S BEEN HAVEING PROBLEMS ..THERE IS A WRENCH LIGHT TURNING ON THE PANEL ..AND IT JUST STOPS RUNNING .ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF ..I HAVE A 2 MONTH OLD BABY AND I FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY..MY EXPLORER TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY WITH TRAILERS AND FAST CARS ALMOST HIT ME..I KNOW ALOT OF EXPLORER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVEING THE SAME PROBLEMS..THE DANGEROUS MATTER IS ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE RUNNING AND THE DIAGNOSTICS CANT FIND NOTHING WRONG..THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR EXPLORERS IT REALLY DANGEROUS THE ENGINE JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE RUNNING U CAN CRASH AND GET KILLED IF U GET HIT WHILE ALL CARS ARE DRIVING FAST IN EXPRESSWAYS ..ITS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW ..WRENCH LIGHT TURNS ON AND THEN ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE RUNNING IT HAPPENS MORE WHEN U FILL UP THE TANK WITH GAS..TENDS TO HAPPEN..ITS SCARY..ITS HAPPENED SEVERAL...

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THIS DAY I WAS GETTING A HEADACHE AND FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO PASS OUT. I PULLED OVER SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS BEFORE PASSING OUT. WOKE UP 30 MINS LATER. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND IT CONSTANTLY FLOODS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT RAINS OR I GO THROUGH AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. THIS HAS BEEN OVER 3 YEARS OF ME PAYING PEOPLE TO BLOW OUT SUN ROOF. TO NO AVAIL. I DRIVE AND WATER CONSTANTLY POURS FROM THE CEILING CONSOLE, SEATBELT HOLES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CAR AND FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD AREA. ALMOST 6 TO 8 INCHES DEEP OF WATER AT TIMES. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH TOWELS ON MY LAP AND SHOWER CURTAINS ON THE FLOORS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS NO HELP, NEITHER IS DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CARE BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN EVEN THOUGH I AM HITTING THE ACCELERATOR AND EVENTUALLY COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WHERE I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART. THEN I WILL START DRIVING AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IN A 10 MINUTE DRIVE THE OTHER DAY IT TURNED OFF 3 TIMES. HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR IN OVER A WEEK BECAUSE I'M SCARED IT WILL HAPPEN TO ME AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY BLUTOOTH PAIRING WITH IPHONE WAS COMPROMISED BY SOMEONE OTHER THEN ME. IT WOULDNT LET ME LISTEN TO BLU TOOTH ON MY PHONE. WHEN IT DID LET ME LISTEN THE MUSIC THAT ONCE SOUNDED GOOD NOW NO MATTER WHAT I DID IT SOUNDED HORRIBLE. ANOTHER THING I NOTICED WAS THE PERFORMANCE SEEMED TO BE GREATLY INCREASED WITH POOR MPG AND THEN AFTER AWHILE AND STILL IS THIS WAY THERE IS A LACK OF PERFORMANCE AND THE MOTOR HAS A COMPLETELY WEIRD SOUND SINCE THIS STARTED HAPPENING. I FORGOT TO MENTION I HAD PREVIOSLY HAD MY PHONE CONNECTED THRU THE SYNC APP AND IT HAD SOME NICE FEATURES I WAS USING UNTIL ALL THIS UNEXPLAINABLE THINGS STARTED HAPPENING. ONCE I NOTICED THE VOLUME ON THE RADIO WAS ALL THE WAY UP THE NEXT TIME I HAD ENTERED MY VEHICLE. AND IT SEEMED LIKE IN 2017 IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN I...

PILLARS FLYING OFF CAR AND POWER TRANSFER UNIT NOT WORKING

2013 FORD EXPLORER. CONSUMER WRITES REQUESTING ANY AVAILABLE INFORMATION REGARDING VEHICLE. *LD *JS

TWO ISSUES THE POWER ASSIST FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE SECOND IS THE FRONT SUSPENSION FAILED IN 2013 MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS IGNORED BY FORD AND NHTSA. DEALER REFUSED TO FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAS RECALLS FOR THESE TWO ISSUES ALL BUT THE BASE MODELS AND FORD REFUSED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BOTH ISSUES COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR.

THIS DEALING WITH THE MY SYNC (MYFORD TOUCH) . THE SYSTEM WILL WILL CAUSE THE SCREEN TO GO BLACK,IT ALSO WILL CAUSE THE A/C & HEATER, NAVIGATION, AND RADIO TO STOP WORKING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. TO RESTORE THE SYSTEM YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND REBOOT THE SYSTEM BY TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. I JUST RECIEVED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM ALERT FOR FORD ON 5/25/2019. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CLAM THAT THE PROGRAM HAS EXPIRED. BUT I CAN HAVE THE REPAIR DONE FOR THE COST $1200.00

THE VEHICLE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BECAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE FUME INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAVE CAUSE MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS TO ME AND MY WIFE (SUCH AS HEADACHES, DROWSINESS ETC.).

MY VEHICLE WAS IN A STATIONARY POSITION WHEN THE 'SHIFT TO PARK LIGHT ILLUMINATED'. THIS IS A REAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN SINCE THE VEHICLE COULD ROLE.

I NOTICED THE OUTSIDE TRIM AROUND THE SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD APPEARED LOOSE ON THE DRIVER BUT MOSTLY PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. A FEW WEEKS LATER WHEN I STARTED DRIVING OVER 10 MPH DOWN THE ROAD, I HEARD A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING BEATING AGAINST MY WINDSHIELD. I NOTICED THE RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE WINDSHIELD AND BETWEEN THE TRIM AND THE WINDSHIELD HAD COME OFF AND WAS FLAPPING IN THE WIND AGAINST MY WINDSHIELD AND CAR. THE BODY TRIM IS NOW LOOSE AS WELL. I HAD A LITTLE WATER EVEN LEAK INTO THE CAR. IT WAS VERY DISTRACTING AND ALMOST CAUSED MY WRECK. I HAD TO TEMPORARILY TAPE THE RUBBER TRIM DOWN AS IT KEEPS COMING LOOSE AND GETS WORSE AS YOU DRIVE (WHICH YOU HAVE NO CHOICE WHEN YOU ARE NOT CLOSE TO HOME OR CAN'T GET YOUR VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS UNTIL WEEKS LATER).

DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION REMAINS ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALERT TONE WILL SOUND WHEN VEHICLE STARTS MOVING OR COMES TO A STOP. AUTO DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION OR DOORS WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED. INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON UNTIL VEHICLE STARTS MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY FORD AND SENSORS CLEANED UNDER WARRANTY AT 25K MILES. FIX LASTED ABOUT 4 MONTHS. CURRENT MILEAGE 67K.

THE HORN FROM THE STEERING PAD ISN'T WORKING. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER ON 3 OCCASIONS & THEY HAVE STATED THE HORN IS OPERABLE AND THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. HOWEVER, THE HORN STOPS WORKING WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE ALARM HORN DOES OPERATE WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE'S SOME WIRING/MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH CONTACT WHEN PRESSING THE STEERING WHEEL HORN PAD. A CASE WAS FILED W/ FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY 'FOUND' THE HORN TO BE OPERABLE & STOPPED WORKING ON A SATURDAY MORNING. ON 4/29/19 I CONTACTED FORD AGAIN AND THE REPRESENTATIVE PRETTY MUCH SAID THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY & THERE ARE NO EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THE CAR SO I WAS OUT OF LUCK. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT IT APPEARS IT MAY BE SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT POSING A HAZARD/LIABILITY TO MY...

I AM REQUESTING THAT THE DOT NHTSA LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF A TIRE DEFECT THAT CAN AFFECT THE SAFE OPERATION OF VEHICLES WITH COOPER DISCOVERER SRX TIRES. I PURCHASED A SET OF 4 COOPER DISCOVERER SRX TIRES AND HAD THEM PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED ON MY 2013 FORD EXPLORER. THE SIZE IS 255/50R20. DURING THE WINTER OF 2018-19 THEY BEGAN TO LEAK AIR EXCESSIVELY WHEN IT WAS COLD. THE LOSS WOULD GROW TO A POINT THE LOW AIR LIGHT CAME ON EVERY WEEK. IT WAS VARIOUS TIRES CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE WINTER AND INTO THE SPRING OF 2019. THE LEAKS ARE MORE SEVERE WHEN DRIVING THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I BELIEVE THE TIRES MAY HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED TO THE POINT THAT THEY ARE CONTINUING TO LEAK WHEN IT IS WARM OUTSIDE NOW. OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THEM IN 2 SEPARATE TIMES AND...

CORROSION OF THE AC LINES RUNNING UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OF THE REAR AC CONDENSER HOUSING, WHICH IS EXPOSED TO THE ENVIRONMENT, CAUSED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE AC SYSTEM AND ALLOWED ALL OF THE REFRIGERANT TO LEAK INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY PASSENGER WINDSHIELD MOLD FLEW OFF THE CAR ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

RAIN WATER LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLES BACK HATCH AND COMING THROUGH THE SEAT BELTS, CAUSING WET SEAT BELTS, SEATS, SPARE TIRE EQUIPMENT, AND PERSONAL AND ITEMS IN CARGO AREA.

FUERTE OLOR A MONOXIDO DE CARBONO EN INTERIOR DE LA CABINA

I HAVE A 2013 FORD EXPLORER AND JUST TODAY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CARBON MONOXIDE PROBLEM. BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED/USED FROM A FORD DEALER IN TN IN 2016. ABOUT THAT TIME, I STARTED HAVING HEADACHES AND DIZZY SPELLS, AND WEAKNESS IN MY ARMS AND LEGS. THE SAME SYMPTOMS I JUST LEARNED TODAY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN A FORD EXPLORER. IN DEC 2017 I MOVED TO FL AND THE FIRST FEW MONTHS I WAS HERE I HAD MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR A DIFFERENT PROBLEM (THE SYNC ISSUE). NEVER WAS I TOLD ANYTHING ABOUT A CARBON MONOXIDE PROBLEM. WHEN I GET OFF WORK TODAY I AM GOING TO BUY A CM DETECTOR TO CHECK THIS. I AM VERY SUSPICIOUS THAT THIS IS WHAT HAS CAUSED ALL THE MEDICAL PROBLEMS I SUDDENLY BEGAN EXPERIENCING ABOUT 3 YRS. AGO. I'M ALSO CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY.

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012. I HAVE A 2013 FORD EXPLORER. THERE WAS A RECALL #14S06 IN 2014 THAT DID NOT INCLUDE MY CAR, WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR. THE CARS STEERING ISSUE IS A MECHANICAL MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I AM TOLD THAT "BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT LISTED WITHIN THE DATES LISTED WITHIN THE YEAR 2012 THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED". DESPITE NOTICES, THERE IS STILL A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT I WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT RESOLVE. THIS DEFECT IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 100K ON IT. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT JUST SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T EVEN TURN AND BECAME INOPERABLE. I WOULD JUST LIKE FORD TO PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT OR REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE REPAIRS. I AM NOT TRYING TO GET THEM TO BUY ME A NEW CAR. THE DEALER IS CHARGING $2500+...

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY ENGAGED IN PARK. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THIS TIME IT ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AT THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY FOR NEARLY 2 HOURS BEFORE THE PERSON PARKED BEHIND OR VEHICLE. THEY WHERE AT OUR HOUSE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, WHEN THEY WHERE LEAVING WE NOTICED THAT OUR VEHICLE HAD DISENGAGED FROM PARK AND ROLLED 15' DOWN THE DRIVEWAY INTO THEIR VEHICLE. THANKFULLY, THERE WERE ONLY A FEW SCRATCHES ON EITHER VEHICLE. OUR DRIVEWAY IS FAIRLY FLAT, IT HAS A 1-3 DEGREE SLOPE TO IT. LEADING TO THE CONCLUSION, THAT THERE IS NOT A LARGE INCLINE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FORCED OUT OF PARK. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED INTO PARK OR THERE IS YET ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT LINKAGE. THE SHIFT...

EXHAUST SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. STARTED WHEN PARKED WITH ENGINE TURNED ON, CONTINUED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY. AT THE BEGINNING WAS NOT SURE IF IT IS FROM MY CAR, OPENED WINDOWS, THEN CLOSED THEM AGAIN COUPLE TIMES AND THE SMELL CONTINUED. HAD TO DRIVE WITH OPEN WINDOWS TO GET HOME. MY DAUGHTER, ME ,DOG AND CAR SEATS AND BLANKETS SMELLED VERY BAD, HAD TO WASH EVERYTHING. PLUS STARTED TO HAVE LIGHT HEADACHE WHILE DRIVING.

IN 2013 THE DEALER REFUSE TO WORK ON THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. EITHER THE WHEEL HUB AND BEARINGS ARE OUT OR THE STRUTS ARE DEFECTIVE.THE SOUND HAPPENS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY IF MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS RECALLS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT WITH MY VIN NUMBER. WAS TOLD THAT A BASE MODEL ISN'T THAT IMPORTANT. CALLED AGAIN TO REPORT IT TO FORD 2/4/2019 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH YOUR MAKE AND MODEL AND THERE WASN'T ANY THING THEY COULD DO UNTIL NHTSA STEPS IN AND DIRECT ME TO THIS WEBSITE.

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...

I GET SICK; HEADACHE, NAUSEA, FEELING REALLY TIRED AND BLURRY VISION AFTER TRIPS MORE THAN 2 JOURS

SMELL EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AND ODOR IS REALLY STRONG

BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR FORD CARBON MONOXIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM #17N03. WAS CALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SWAY BARS AND LINKS. I SEE THAT MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED REGARDING THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AND HOW LITTLE IT IS DRIVEN THESE SEEM LIKE PRICEY REPAIRS. I DRIVE A 2013 FORD EXPLORER WITH 74,000 MILES ON IT. PLEASE ADVISE.

I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO FROM LIBERTY FORD. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED WITH THEIR COMPANY SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR. NOW TODAY I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE MY TRANSFER CASE. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WAS STALLING, I COULDN'T DRIVE OR GIVE IT GAS IN THE MOTION WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC SHOP. IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TRUCK WAS DRAGGING. THE COST OF A TRANSFER CASE IS OVER 1,000 NOT INCLUDING LABOR AND I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND WITH A TRUCK ALMOST 6 YEARS OLD. I THINK IT'S A DEFECT AND ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR NO REASON AT ALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CLAIM AND OTHER VEHICLE AS MINE. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AGAINST FORD.

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE DETERIORATED, ALLOWING EXHAUST GASES INTO THE CABIN WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING. PROBLEM CONFIRMED BY REPAIR SHOP, WHICH ESTIMATES $2,000 TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND THE ATTACHED CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT IS KNOWN TO FORD, BASED ON NEWS ARTICLES.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS TO GET MY EXPLORER 'FIXED' WITH THE EXHAUST SMELL ISSUE. AND I THOUGH ALL WAS WELL. THEN THIS YEAR ONCE I STARTED USING THE HEATER IN MY VEHICLE IT BECAME MUCH WORSE THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR. MY TODDLER COMPLAINS OF HEAD ACHES AFTER CAR RIDES AND I GET LIGHT HEADED AND VERY NAUSEOUS. IF THE CAR IS LEFT RUNNING FOR EVEN 30 SECONDS WITH 50 FEET OF CLEARANCE BEHIND IT THE CABIN IS FILLED WITH AN UNBEARABLE AMOUNT OF EXHAUST SMELL. I'M SCARED FOR THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOW THAT IT'S WINTER AND I NEED TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE HEATER. IT IS FINE AS LONG AS I HAVE THE CLIMATE CONTROL TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. BUT THAT'S UNREASONABLE WHEN IT'S 19 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN. I BOUGHT A CAR WITH A HEATER...

THE CABIN SMELLS OF EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING. IT SMELLS THIS WAY ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. THE SMELL GETS WORSE THE LONGER THE CAR IS RUNNING. WE HAD THE WORKAROUND THAT FORD SUGGESTED DONE AND IT HAS NOT HELPED THE ISSUE.

SMELL OF EXHAUST WITHIN CAB OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. SMELL CAN BE OVERPOWERING AND THE EFFECTS CAN MAKE THE OCCUPANTS FEEL NAUSEOUS. FORD HAD BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES OF THIS MATTER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

THE ROOF OPERATING PANEL MODULE IS BAD. MY MOON/SUNROOF IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. WE STOPPED AT THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO SEE IF THEY COULD SHUT IT SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH IT OPEN THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT PLASTIC ON TOP OF IT BUT NOW IT'S JUST SITTING IN MY GARAGE UNTIL WE CAN COME UP WITH MONEY TO FIX IT

WHEN IT RAINS, WATER POURS IN FROM DRIVER SIDE 3RD ROW SEAT BELT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD EXPLORERS DUE TO POOR WELDING ISSUES, YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT FUTURE MOLD AND MILDEW ISSUES IN THE CAR. I DRIVE AROUND 3 YOUNG CHILDREN AND DO NOT WANT ANY HEALTH ISSUES BECAUSE OF THIS FLAW. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL SO IT CAN BE FIXED. I DO NOT HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THEIR WELDING MISTAKES.

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD DRIVERS SIDE MOLDING BECAME DETACHED, STARTED SHREDDING (CAUSING A DENT IN THE DOOR) AND BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER, FLEW OFF THE EXPLORER. PART OF THE MOLDING IS STILL ATTACHED (ABOUT 1/4 PIECE). VERY GLAD IT DID NOT HURT ANYONE, BUT WHAT IF A MOTORCYCLE WAS BEHIND ME? THIS DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL THROUGH FORD. WHEN I ORDERED MY PART, ESTIMATED AT #450.00, 3 OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THE SAME DAY, ACCORDING TO THE PARTS COUNTER PERSON.

2013 FORD EXPLORER XLT, FACTORY SEAMS NOT SEALED UNDER POWER LIFT GATE IN REAR CAUSED WATER LEAKING INTO THIRD ROW SEAT FROM SEATBELT, CARPET HAD MILDEW AND MSEATBELT WAS DRENCHED, TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES WITHOUT RESOLVE AND HAD TO SELF PAY BECAUSE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER WATER LEAKS. WOULD NEVER HAVE NOTICED THIS FIRST OCCURRENCE IF I HAD NOT PURCHASED CUSTOM WEATHER TECH FLOOR MATS THROUGHOUT VEHICLE WHICH ALLOWED ME TO SEE THE POOLING OF WATER. HAD TO TELL THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHAT TO FIX AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH AND MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH SAME COMPLAINT. NOW HAS SEVERAL INCHES OF WATER LEAKING FROM RIGHT DRIVERS SIDE INTO FLOORBOARD, BELT SQUEALS WHEN ACCELERATING IN RAIN CAUSING LIGHTS TO DIM AND VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. MILDEW SMELL VERY STRONG COMING FROM AIR VENTS CAUSING HEADACHES WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE. THIS LEAK OCCURS AFTER AFTER EVERY RAINSTORM WHILE VEHICLE...

GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRES SHOWED CRACKING AFTER ONLY 19,540 MILES ON 2013 FORD EXPLORER PURCHASED NEW IN JANUARY 2013. AFTER THIS DISCOVERY, I NEED TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES.TIRE NUMBERS ARE DOT 4B8T MANUFACTURED IN CANADA ON 3/2012.

THE VEHICLE IS ROLLING AWAY WHILE IN "PARK". IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED FOR OTHER FORD VEHICLES BUT THE EXPLORER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS OCCURRENCE TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED OUT OF OUR GARAGE AND INTO FENCE AND TREE. THE SECOND TIME, IT ROLLED OUT OF A PARKED SPOT WHILE MY WIFE WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT AND CLEARLY OBSERVING THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN "PARK".

EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CAB

NOTICED LEAK INTO SPARE TIRE WELL YEARS AGO AND JONES FORD IN N. CHARLESTON COULD NOT FIND A LEAK. 8/13/2018 TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND FOUND THE WATER POURS DOWN THE THIRD ROW SEATBELTS ANYTIME IT RAINS. THERE IS NOW MOLD IN THE CARPETED AREA BELOW THE 3RD ROW SEATS. THE LEAK HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY, DRIVING, ANYTIME IT IS RAINING.

10-15 MINUTES AFTER COMMUTING ON THE SUN COAST PARKWAY IN FLORIDA, I EXPERIENCED DOUBLE VISION, BECAME UNABLE TO THINK CLEARLY OR MAKE DECISIONS (IE: TO PULL OVER AND CALL FOR HELP), AND HIT NUMEROUS UPRIGHT, RUBBER BARRIERS WHICH SEPARATE THE EXPRESS LANE FROM THE OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC, AS WELL AS EITHER A TEMPORARY CONCRETE DIVIDER OR METAL RAIL. MUCH OF THE FOLLOWING 24 HOURS AFTER MY ACCIDENT ARE FOGGY OR I DO NOT REMEMBER AT ALL. AFTER 2 FULL NEUROLOGICAL WORK-UPS, I STILL HAVE NO DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS. RECENTLY, I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR POSSIBLE EXHAUST ISSUES IN FORD EXPLORERS. MY SUV SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND HAS SINCE BEEN REPAIRED.

RANDOMLY HONKS WITH AND WITH FOB IN OR NEAR CAR AND WITHOUT THE CAR RUNNING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER GETTING FUEL, AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT STOP THE GAS WHEN PUMPING.... SEND A CODE FOR SENSOR IN FUEL COMPARTMENT.... DOOR PANELS CRACK

RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, I HAVE BEGUN NOTICING A ROTTEN EGG/SULFURIC SMELL. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING, AND ALSO IF I AM SITTING AT IDLE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME (AT A RED LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC). I HAVE NOTICED FEELING FATIGUE WHILE DRIVING AS WELL, AND THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THE SMELL MAKES ME NAUSEOUS OR GIVES ME A HEADACHE. I WORK IN EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED WITH THE SMELL THAT IS ENTERING MY VEHICLE.

SHIFT TO PARK WARNING AOFTEN COMES ON-CAR IS ON PARK!

WE HAVE A 2013 FORD EXPLORER THAT WE HAVE TAKEN IN LATE LAST YEAR AND HAD THE CARBON MONXIODE PROBLEM ADDRESSED AND WE ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES AFTER THE RECALL. WE STILL SMELL IT WHEN WE ACCERLATE THE GAS. I TRY NOT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF IT. NOW WHEN I RUN THE AC AND STEP ON THE GAS THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE AC DROPS DOWN. IF I RUN THE AC ON 5 AND I ACCERLATE ON THE GAS IT SOUNDS LIKE I JUST TURNED IT ON AND RUNNING IT ON LOW AND THEN IT FINALLY KICKS BACK UP TO 5. IF I CAN GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE I WILL NOT GET ANOTHER FORD AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW THAT FORD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SAFETY JUST THE MONEY. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. ITS THE SAME AS HAVING CARBON MONXIODE IN...

MONOXIDE CARBON ODORS FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE ARE ENTERED INTO THE VEHICLE, AND WHEN I DRIVE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME I FEEL NAUSEOUS AND DISORIENTED AND I HAVE TO LOWER THE WINDOWS EVERY 20 MINUTES

TAKATA RECALL: WHEN DRIVING 75MPH TRY TO PASS ANOTHER CAR, THE MOTOR AND AC CUT OFF AT 79 MPH, NO POWER. THIS IS ON THE HIGHWAY

NOTICED WATER LEAK COMING OUT OF SEAT BELT HARNESS AREA IN THIRD ROW. WATER LEAK IS CAUSING ENTIRE AREA TO BECOME WET IN THIRD ROW. MILDEW SMELL IS NOW PRESENT. AFRAID THERE MAY BE MOLD GROWTH CAUSING HEALTH ISSUES. I PUT TOWELS AROUND THE SEATBELT TO CATCH WATER AND THEY ARE SOAKED WHEN I CHANGE THEM OUT. RAIN WATER COMES LEAKED ON WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR WHILE IN MOTION. I AM NOT AWARE OF WHERE THE LEAK IS STARTING OR HOW TO FIX.

ON A 2013 FORD EXPLORER, THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE KEEPS GETTING STUCK AND CAR IS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WITH OUT MANUALLY MOVING THE RELEASE PUMP. THIS IS AFTER CAR IS IN PARK.
