2016 FORD EXPLORER Unknown Or Other Problems

CAR SMELLS STRONGLY LIKE NATURAL GAS INSIDE CABIN WHEN DRIVING, AND WHEN SITTING STILL - EYES BURN, THROAT SORE, HEADACHE AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 5 MINS OR MORE.

EXHAUST FUMES ARE SOME HOW LEAKING THROUGH THE CABIN. FUMES ARE MOSTLY NOTICED WHEN GETTING ON THE FREEWAY OR HARD ACCELERATION.

HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES THAT ARE ON THE EXPLORER ARE FAULTY CAUSING THE THREAD TO SHRED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MY TIRES TO COME SORT WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLE COLLISION & INJURY. THERE WAS ONLY 12,995 MILES ON THEM. NO EXTREME DRIVING CONDITIONS ETC. I HAD TO REPLACE TODAY.

CARBON MONOXIDE ISSUE INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN AUGUST OF 2016 AND NOTICED WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET ON A HIGHWAY OR DOING ANY TYPE OF QUICK ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE PUT OFF AN AWFUL SMELL IN THE CAB AND THE SMELL IS SIMILAR TO ROTTEN EGGS. I'VE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR ALL ITS REGULAR MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE RESPONSE I GOT WAS WE HEARD THIS BEFORE BUT HAVE NO SOLUTION. NO SOLUTION?? I'M BREATHING IN GOD KNOWS WHAT AND I'M ALWAYS IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES AND THAT WAS THE RESPONSE I GET! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ITS POSSIBLE DOING TO MYSELF AND OTHERS BUT I'LL TELL YOU THIS IT CANNOT BE GOOD. I AM AT THE POINT WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I DON'T WANT TO GET IN IT ANY LONGER AS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT...

I PASSED OUT WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER DOWN THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WENT OFF THE ROADWAY AND DOWN THE EMBANKMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE IS NOW A FORD RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, ISSUED TODAY, 10/26/2017 (FORD RECALL: 17N03) FOR CARBON MONOXIDE CONCERNS. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR MONTHS AND NOT ISSUED A RECALL UNTIL MANY MONTHS LATER. AT THE TIME OF MY COLLISION, THE COUNTY I LIVE IN WAS IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND I WENT TO THE 1 OPEN HOSPITAL. DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND NOT THINKING THAT CARBON MONOXIDE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE INCIDENT, I DID NOT GET BLOOD WORK DONE TO CONFIRM IF I HAD BEEN POISONED BY CARBON MONOXIDE.

BURNING HAIR SMELL IN CABIN OF VEHICLE. NOTICE IT DURING BREAK IN INFORMED SERVICE ADVISER OF SMELL WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE FIRST SERVICE. TAKEN BACK SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS WITCH RESULTS IN THE ODOR BEING WORST NOW THAN FIRST NOTICED. FORD HAS REPLACED THE AIR VENT LOCATED BETWEEN THE HOOD AND THE WINDSHIELD. THEY HAVE REPLACED BODY PANELS AND SEALED OPENING IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE LAST REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM. DURING A TRIP TO FLORIDA AFTER THE EXHAUST REPLACEMENT WE WERE ABOUT 100 MILES FROM HOME DRIVING 70+ MPH ON I-10. WHEN MY WIFE COMPLAINED OF HER HEART POUNDING, FEELING NAUSEOUS AND PASSED OUT FOR A MOMENT. I NOTICED THAT I HAD A HEADACHE ALSO AND I IMMEDIATELY ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES MY WIFE FELT BETTER SO I DID NOT CONTINUE TO...

WE HAVE NOTICED A FOUL SMELL IN OUR FORD EX SINCE WE PURCHASED IT WITH NO EXPLANATION REGARDING THE CAUSE. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE CARBON MONOXIDE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD REGARDING THIS PROBLEM THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE OR ANY RESOLUTION REGARDING FIXING THE PROBLEM.

STRONG EMISSIONS SMELL THAT IS CAUSING DIZZINESS AND MAJOR HEADACHES WHEN WE DRIVE IT.

FUMES IN CABIN ON HIGHWAY AND CITY ! NEED TO ROW WINDOWS DOWN TO GET THE FUMES OUT! HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE NEW 10/30/2015

I AM DISCOVERING EVERY I DRIVE MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER I AM GETTING HEADACHES. MY WIFE DROVE AND SHE BEGIN TO HAVE TERRIBLE HEADACHES. WHEN MY CHILDREN RODE WITH ME THEY FELT NAUSEATED.

ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT YET RECD. ANY LETTERS FROM FORD ON REPAIRING MY EXPLORER, MY SON OFTEN COMPLAINTS OF UNEASINESS AND NAUSEA WHEN SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR. I DON'T PARTICULARLY NOTICE ANY SMELL BUT I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE OTHER NEWS AROUND FUMES AND CO ENTERING THE CABIN. THIS HAPPENS SPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING AND A/C IS ON WITH A/C WINDOWS CLOSED. I NOTICED THIS ONLY DURING OUR SUMMER BREAK THIS TIME WHEN MY SON SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE CAR AS OPPOSED TO SCHOOL NIGHTS.

EXHAUST SMELL ENTERS THE CABIN WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON. THIS GETS WORSE WHEN GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE, PASSING OTHER VEHICLES, OR GOING UP HILLS. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE WE BOUGHT EXPLORER BRAND NEW IN SUMMER 2016. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SINCE THEN AND EACH TIME I ASK THEM WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND IF THEY CAN LOOK INTO IT. THEIR RESPONSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT NOTHING IS WRONG AND THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. I HAVE EVEN BEEN TOLD THAT THIS COULD BE THE TURBO CHARGER. I FREQUENTLY GET HEADACHES WHEN DRIVING, AND GET DIZZY ON LONGER TRIPS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CO ENTERING THE CABIN. I OFTEN OPEN THE HOOD WHEN IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AFTER COMING HOME AND THE EXHAUST SMELL FILLS THE GARAGE.

STRONG FOUL ODOR IS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, THE DEALER HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND TRY TO FIX IT, STILL NOT RESOLVED. DEALER TOLD US TO FILE A CLAIM TO FORD, WE DID, FORD STATED THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER AND THAT THERE ARE CONFIDENTIAL PROCESSES THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE WE WOULD KNOW WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP. THE CLAIMS ASSOCIATE OF FORD STATED THAT SHE CANNOT TELL US THE PROCESS FOR ONLY FORD AND FORD DEALER EMPLOYEES ARE ALLOWED TO KNOW THE PROCESS. THE SAID ODOR IS VERY STRONG THAT IT GIVES US CHEST PAINS, HEADACHE AND NAUSEA. ONE OF MY KIDS DOES HAVE A SEVERE ALLERGY AND MY OTHER KID IS A SPECIAL NEED CHILD, WE WOULD NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH WINDOWS DOWN IN ORDER FOR...

WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK THE MILES VARIES EVERY TIME. ALSO, THERE IS A SMELL IN THE CAR WHEN I DRIVE. I HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS TO GET RID OF THE SMELL.

STRONG EXHAUST ODOR IN CABIN WHEN ACCELERATING HARD.

WHEN ACCELERATING WE GET A VERY STRONG EXHAUST SMELL IN THE PASSENGER CABIN.

EMISSION ODOR ENTERING CABIN DURING ACCELERATION

SMELL COMING FROM DASH VENTS ALL THE TIME. NOT SURE IF IT IS EXHAUST BUT EYES START BURNING AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING. HIGHER RPM'S SEEM TO MAKE IT WORSE. WAS JUST INTO FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN DONE BUT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO TRY NEXT.

TERRIBLE SMELL IN CABIN OF EXHAUST (BURNING) UPON ACCELERATION.

EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CAR HAS BEEN AT FORD FOR OVER 2 WEEKS, TSB HAS BEEN DONE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

WHEN ACCELERATING OR GOING UP INCLINE CAR STARTS TO SMELL LIKE CARBON MONOXIDE (LIKE THE HEATER IS ON). CIRCULATION IS WITHIN CAR. IN ORDER TO GET OUT MUST PUT ON OUTSIDE CIRCULATION AND ROLL DOWN WINDOWS.

WHILE ACCELERATING OR OVERTAKING I SMELL FUMES OR SMOKE IN THE CABIN. FIRST TIME I CALLED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CABIN AIR FILTER MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE. THAT DIDN'T HELP. NEXT TIME IT OCCURRED THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD USE PRIMIERE GAS. THAT DIDN'T HELP. I HAVE A 2 WEEKS OLD BABY AND SCARED WHAT THESE FUMES WILL DO. I HOPE WE CAN FIX THIS BEFORE PEOPLE START PASSING OUT AND CRAS FROM THIS FUMES WHICH CAUSES A DIZZY SPELL. ADDED TO THAT, MY WING MIRROR ADJUSTS ITSELF EVEN WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND VERY FAULTY. REALLY TIRED OF GOING TO "ARROW FORD" AS I GET NO RESOLUTION. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A TOTAL OF 2 MONTHS AND NONE OF MY CONCERNS ADDRESSED

WENT TO THE DEALER COMPLAINED ABOUT FRONT END NOISE ALSO FUMES IN CABIN THEY FIXED THE STEERING RACK I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE FUMES THEY TOLD ME TO USE PREMIUM GAS. THIS WAS IN JULY 2017 WITH 11500 MILES NOW IN SEPT STILL 'LL ING WITH FUMES AND STEERING NOISE COMING BACK. DEALER IS KOPPEL THE ODOR CAME UP THE SAME MONTH I BOUGHT IT WITH 900 MILES ON IT LIKE ALL OF US I THOUGHT WE HAD TO BREAK IT IN

I PURCHASED MY NEW CAR DURING OCTOBER 2015 FROM DEALER IN VA. AFTER SOME TIME, DRIVING THE CAR NOTICED AN ODOR LIKE ROTTEN EGG COMES AND GOES. HOWEVER, I THOUGHT, IT COULD BE DUE TO THE NEW CAR. LATER TIME, I NOTICED EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR, I FEEL TIRED, HAVING HEADACHES, LACK OF ENERGY, AND FALLING SLEEP. I CONSULTED WITH MY DOCTORS AND THEY REALLY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. UNTIL RECENTLY, WATCHING CHANEL 4 NEWS AND THEY WERE REPORTING THE PROBLEM WITH EXPLORER EXHAUST SYSTEM AND POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK INTO INTERIOR OF THE CAR. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS ISSUE IS ACCURATE AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO FIX IT. THANKS

I HAVE A 2016 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED EDITION UNDER MY DADS NAME AND MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER ON IT. AFTER GETTING OUR CAR I DROVE IT DAILY AS COMMUTER FOR 2 MONTHS AND SOMETIMES I SMELL SOMETHING BAD INSIDE LIKE BURNED TIRES BUT I JUST IGNORED IT BECAUSE I SAID MY CAR IS BNEW AND MAYBE ITS FROM OUTSIDE AND AFTER THAT MY WIFE START DRIVING IT BUT LAST DECEMBER 2016 WE WENT TO VEGAS AND I JANSSEN (HUSBAND) IS THE ONE DRIVING ON THE CAR AND SMELLED SOMETHING BURNED TIRES INSIDE THE CAR WHILE CRUISING ON IT, I CHECKED THE TIRES/BREAK OUTSIDE BUT I DONT SMELL IT FROM OUTSIDE, SO AFTER THAT WE WENT TO OUR DEALER AND CHECKED IT FOUND OUT THERES A CARBON MONOXIDE PRESENT INSIDE AND THEY FIXED IT BY COVERING THE HOLES OF THE CAR THAT MAY BE THE ENTRY OF SMOKE FROM...

RE: CASE NUMBER IS 1095836. I AGAIN EXPERIENCED CARBON MONOXIDE IN MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER CABIN. ONCE ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2017 ON A DOWNHILL PATH ON A RURAL ROD IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE SANTA FE, NM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON, BUT NOT ON RECIRCULATE MODE AND AGAIN IN SANTA FE ON A CITY STREET ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2017 WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING AT 20 - 30 MPH. I HAVE A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INSTALLED IN THE THIRD ROW OF THE EXPLORER WHICH SET OFF AN ALARM. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE A/C AND OPENED THE WINDOWS. THE ALARM TURNED ITSELF OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY EXHAUST FUMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC WITH 3 - 4 CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN THE CAR THAT I WAS FOLLOWING. THE SECOND TIME THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME...

CARBON DIOXIDE WARNING. DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WANT TO RETURN AND A DESERVE ALL FUNDS RETURNED. WHAT IS BEING SAID ON THE NATIONAL NEWS IS ABSURD AND IF FORD KNOW ABOUT THIS AND PUTTING MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES AT RISK.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE UPHILL OR ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY THERE IS A STRONG EXHAUST ODOR IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE VENTS. IT WAS DETECTED EARLIER THIS YEAR, HOWEVER WE DID SOME EXTRA DRIVING THROUGH THE SUMMER TO CONFIRM THE ISSUE. ONCE CONFIRMED, WE TOOK IT TO OUR FORD DEALER. THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE, BUT HAD AN IDEA AS HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. TO FIX IT, THEY HAD TO GET APPROVAL FROM FORD CORPORATE TO DO THE FIX. FORD CORPORATE TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO ISSUE SINCE IT COULD NOT BE RECREATED, AND WE CAN PICK UP THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT OUR DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 31, 2017. WE WERE NOTIFIED TODAY (SEPT. 7, 2017) THAT THE VEHICLE HAS NO ISSUE; THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT ON THE CIVILIAN EXPLORERS.

I HAVE A FUME SMELLING LIKE BOILED EGGS REALLY STRONG COMING INSIDE MY VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO BECOME NAUSEA WITH HEADACHE AND DIZZINESS

I BOUGHT A FORD EXPLORER 2016 FROM AUTOMAX IN KILLEEN, TX. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING THAT THERE IS ODER SMELL COMING OUT FROM THE AC VENT. WHEN I BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE FOUND THE CARBON MONOXIDE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE FORD COMPANY AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING.

WE BOUGHT FORD EXPLORER 2016 FROM VISTA FORD WOODLAND HILL AND WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING THAT THERE IS ODER SMELL COMING OUT FROM THE AC VENT. AFTER REPEATED COMPLAIN THE SERVICE TEAM WASN'T ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM SO FORD COOPERATE REFEREED TO THE ANOTHER DEALER GALPIN FOR THE SECOND OPTION AND THEY FOUND OUT THERE WAS A GAS LICKAGE FROM THE AC VENT AND THEY TRIED TO FIX IT BUT THERE STILL SMELL COMING OUT FROM AC VENT. MY AND MY WIFE HAVE BEEN FACING CONSTANT MEDICAL ISSUE SUCH AS HEAD ACE, DIFFICULT TO SLEEP IN THE NIGHT, RUNNING NOISE IN / AFTER TRAVEL IN THE SUV AND SOME IT MAKES ME FALL SLEEP WHILE DRIVING. FEW TIMES I ALMOST CAUSE ACCIDENT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY.

EXHAUST FUMES COMING THRU AC VENTS UNDER ACCELERATION. HEAVY ODOR OF SULFUR IN CAB!

FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAVE SMELLED EXHAUST IN MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE. ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO I HAD IT TESTED AT FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT FOR POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE BECAUSE THE EXHAUST SMELL WAS BAD, PARTICULARLY WHEN HITTING SPEEDS AROUND 70MPH. FORD LAUGHED AT AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE SMELL CONTINUED, MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER WOULD GET HEADACHES, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND I WOULD FEEL NAUSEOUS AFTER DRIVING A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. EARLIER THIS WEEK I WAS SO DIZZY, I NEEDED TO PULL OVER TWICE JUST TO GAIN MY FOCUS. I PURCHASED A CARBON MONOXIDE TESTER. YES, THERE IS CARBON MONOXIDE. I AM A BIT FRUSTRATED SINCE THE ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED PREVIOUSLY, RATHER THAN LAUGHED AT ME AND I ENDURED POOR HEALTH FOR SO LONG.

CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK COMING THROUGH BACK VENTS. I HAVE LITERALLY FELT FUZZINESS, NAUSEOUS, INTERMITTENT SEVERE HEADACHES, DIFFICULTY CHANGING LANES FROM CONFUSION, AND LOOPY WHILE DRIVING. CALLED MY FREEWAY FORD, AND THEY VERIFIED THAT MY CAR DID IN FACT HAVE EXHAUST COMING THROUGH BACK VENT. THEY FIXED UNDER TSB - TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. I ASSUMED THAT I HAD SOMETHING SEVERELY WRONG WITH MY HEALTH UNTIL THE NEWS STORIES CAME OUT ABOUT THE POLICE OFFICERS PASSING OUT, AND HAVING SOME OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS. BINGO, IT WAS MY CAR! FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR NOT PUTTING OUT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. THERE MOTTO IS TO GO FURTHER, BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY SITTING BACK WHILE THEY COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS. I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE PRESIDENT AND GROUP VP & CEO OF GENERAL COUNSEL AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY. MY LETTER WAS SENT CERTIFIED MAIL ON 7/26/17; RECEIVED...

WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS OR ACCELERATING RAPIDLY YOU SMELL FUMES IN THE CAR WHICH MAKE YOU SICK AND LIGHT HEAD

FOUL, SULFUR LIKE SMELL IN THE CABIN WHILE USING A/C W/ CABIN AIR RE-CIRCULATION ON. TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS..

THE VEHICLE PUTS OFF A STRONG ODOR THROUGH THE AIR SYSTEM WHEN ACCELERATING UPHILL OR DRIVING AT HIGHER RPMS. THE SMELL RESEMBLES A SULFUR TYPE SMELL IN THE CABIN.

I AM HAVING FUME LEAKAGE INTO THE CABIN OF MY VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO DAHL FORD -LA CROSSE AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 WEEKS. WHEN I CALLED THE TECH PERSON TOLD ME THEY WERE WAITING FOR PARTS TO FIX MY VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS A LEAK INTO THE CABIN. AFTER ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY WITHOUT ANY WORD I CALLED AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I WENT INTO SEE THE DEPT MANAGER AND HE SAID THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED HIM WHO WAS LYING HIM OR THE TECH PERSON HE DID NOT REPLY. THEY SAID THEY HAD THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT TEST THE VEHICLE FOR CARBON MONOXIDE BUT THEY DID NOT LIST UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS IT WAS TESTED AT. I HAD MY OWN CARBON MONOXIDE TESTER IN THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS REGISTERING CARBON...

SUSPECT CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES INSIDE EXPLORER. PASSENGERS AND DRIVER HAVE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, SLEEPY, NOSE AND EYES BURN, CHEST HURTS. LONG TRIPS IT'S AWFUL HAVE TO STOP AND GET OUT FOR FRESH AIR BEFORE WE FALL ASLEEP. AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. FORD SAYS NO PROBLEM BUT THEY'RE DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM GOING TO ANOTHER DEALER TO SEE IF THEY FIND ANYTHING THAT THE OTHER DIDN'T. HOPE WE CAN GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. BAD TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR A VEHICLE AND THEN HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSTANT WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THANKS.

UNDER ACCELERATION, THERE IS AN EXHAUST SMALL INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND I'VE MEASURED CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS UP TO 19 PPM.

STRONG EXHAUST SMELL ENTERING THE VEHICLE AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH OR MORE ON THE HIGHWAY.

EXHAUST LEAKING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WHILE ACCELERATING ABOVE 3000 RPM.

EXHAUST LEAK CONTINUES EVEN AFTER DEALER REPAIR. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING FOUL ODORS IN THE CABIN OF MY EXPLORER, WHICH I BELIEVE ARE RELATED TO THE CURRENT EXHAUST ISSUE NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION. ODORS ARE ESPECIALLY STRONG WHEN VEHICLE IS REMOTE STARTED AND A/C IS RUNNING. ALSO NOTICE SAME BAD ODORS AROUND ENGINE AREA OF VEHICLE WHILE RUNNING OR AFTER TURNED OFF - EVEN UP TO 2 HOURS AFTER ENGINE HAS STOPPED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A CO2 DETECTOR IN THE VEHICLE - AND TO DATE IT HAS NOT BEEN SET OFF - HOWEVER I EXPERIENCE A DRY THROAT AND HEADACHES AFTER DRIVING IN THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE DEALER FIX HAS REDUCED THE SMELL OF BURNING HAIR/ELECTRICAL FIRE, BUT NOT TOTALLY DIMINISHED IT. BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SPEEDY ACTION FROM THE NHSTA (THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR SEVERAL YEARS ACCORDING TO PRESS STORIES), I WILL BE...

EXHAUST SMELL ENTERING VEHICLE UPON BRISK ACCELERATION.

EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING VEHICLE DURING ACCELERATION.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, UPON ACCELERATING, EVEN WITH THE CIRCULATING AIR ON, THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG COMING INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. ALSO, WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR WITH THE A/C ON, THERE IS A VERY SOUR/STALE ODOR COMING FROM THE VENTS. WE MADE A 2 HOUR TRIP, AND AFTER BEING IN THE CAR THAT LONG, I HAD A BAD HEADACHE AND FELT NAUSEATED FROM THE FUMES. I AM THE MAIN DRIVER OF THE CAR AND IT IS MY SOLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR BACK IN JANUARY OF 2017, I STARTED GETTING BAD HEADACHES AND HAVE THEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. I'M STARTING TO THINK THEY ARE COMING FROM THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN IN A FORD GARAGE NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BUT THEY SAY EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT OK.

WHEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY IT SMELLS AS IF EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERING THE CABIN. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS SAFE OR HEALTHY IF IN FACT I'M BREATHING EXHAUST FUMES. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE. THANK YOU.
