2016 FORD EXPLORER Unknown Or Other Problems

WHEN ACCELERATING, MY CABIN FILLS UP WITH EXHAUST FUMES. IT DOESN'T DO IT AS BAD WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE BUT WHEN IT IS HOT, IT IS REALLY BAD. IT HAS BEEN TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY PERFORMED THE TECHNICAL BULLETINS ON THE CAR. IT DIDN'T HELP.

I ALREADY SUBMITTED ONE COMPLAINT TODAY ABOUT THE CABIN FILLING WITH EXHAUST FUMES WHILE ACCELERATING BUT THEN I WAS READING OTHER ISSUES PEOPLE WERE HAVING AND WANTED TO ENSURE YOU WERE AWARE OF MINE AS WELL. I HAD TO HAVE THE COOLING FANS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WOULD COME TO A SCREECHING HALT WHEN YOU WOULD SHUT THE MOTOR OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE INSIDE OF THE POWER LIFT GATE REPAINTED WHERE THE MOTOR AND SHOCK ARE LOCATED BECAUSE THE PAINT WAS CRACKING. THE CENTER CAPS ON THE WHEELS ARE FALLING IN SO THOSE ARE GOING TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW RUSTING ON THE BACK OF MY CAR BY THE REAR TAIL LIGHT. THE HOOD VIBRATES REALLY BAD WHEN GOING OVER 65 MPH. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT IN FOR THAT YET BECAUSE I CAN'T GET IT TO DO IT ALL OF THE TIME. IT HAS TO BE WINDY FOR...

EXHAUST SMELL WHEN RUNNING THE REAR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED, 60+ MPH WITH RPM 3K+. EXHAUST SMELL IS ISOLATED TO THE REAR AC SYSTEM WHEN RECYCLED AIR IS TURNED ON. THE LAST TEST WE DID WAS ON A HIGHWAY, GOING UPHILL.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND UNDER ACELLERATION THERE IS A HORRIBLE EXHAUST SMELL THAT MAKES MY KIDS AND MYSELF NAUTIOUS. IT ALSO GIVES ME CONSTANT HEADACHES. I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT WAS HAPPENING UNTIL MY HUSBAND GOT IN THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME AND NOTICED THE EXHAUST SMELL

I RECENTLY HAD A 2015 FORD EXPLORER AND EXPERIENCED THE ODOR EMITTING INTO THE CABIN ON ACCELERATION. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, WITH FORD, I WAS FORCED TO LET THE VEHICLE GO BACK TO THE BANK OUT OF FEAR THE ISSUE WAS MAKING ME SICK. AFTER LOOKING FOR A NEW VEHICLE, I REALIZED THAT THE FORD EXPLORER WAS THE BEST VEHICLE FOR MY NEEDS. I PURCHASED A 2016 EXPLORER SINCE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE FOUND THAT 2016 FORD EXPLORERS SHOULD BE INCLUDED. I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE HORRIBLE SMELL OF EXHAUST COMING INTO THE CABIN EVEN ON SMALL ACCELERATION. I FEEL THERE IS NO POINT IN TAKING IT INTO A FORD DEALER SINCE I'VE ALREADY BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD AND CAME TO NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. I DID WANT TO GET MY 2016 VEHICLE ON...

COMPLAINT #1 -PAINT FACTORY PAINT FINISH ON VEHICLE IS VERY POOR. THIN PAINT AND PRIMER CLEARLY VISIBLE IN SEVERAL AREAS (SEE PICTURES ATTACHED). I BELIEVE THIS DOES NOT MEET SPECIFIED PAINT DENSITY REGULATIONS. COMPLAINT #2- EXHAUST LEAK UNDER HEAVIER ACCELERATION (3K RPM AND UP) A POTENT SMELL OF SULFER/ROTTEN EGGS IS PRESENT IN CABIN. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN FAN/AC IS TURNED ON.

WHEN ECCELERATING IT OFTEN HAS THE SMELL OF FUMES THAT LINGER IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES CAUSING ME TO FEEL SICK. NORMAL DRIVING IT'S FINE, JUST WHEN YOU NEED TO PICK UP SPEED IT PRODUCES THIS SMELL.

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AGO WE HAVE NOTICED FROM TIME TO TIME THE SMELL OF EXHAUST INSIDE THE CABIN UPON EXCELERATION. SINCE THE A/C WAS IN USE, I'M UNSURE IF IT'S COMING IN THRU THE VENTS OR SOMEWHERE FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE THRU DRAFT FROM A LEAKING SEAL. NEVERTHELESS I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY AS THE VEHICLE IS PRIMARILY USED BY MY WIFE , MY 5 YEAR OLD SON, AND 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. I DO KNOW AND ALSO HAVE MEDICAL RECORDS SHOWING THAT MY SON HAS HAD AN INCREASED SENSITIVITY WITH HIS PULMONARY SYSTEM AND HAS RECENTLY VISITED A PULMONARY SPECIALIST RESULTING IN THE DAILY USE OF AN INHALER. MY WIFE HAS ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING FREQUENT MIGRAINES THAT SEEM TO HAVE NO NOTICEABLE TRIGGER EXCEPT POSSIBLY THE ODOR WHILE DRIVING. AS FAR AS MY DAUGHTER, SHE HAS HAD PROBLEMS FREQUENTLY WITH...

STRONG ODOR OF GAS/EXHAUST IN CAR DURING DRIVING AND AFTER START CONTINUES WHILE DRIVING. UPDATED 06/06/17*LJ *CN

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE AND THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON RECYCLED AIR, THERE IS A HEAVY ROTTEN EGG/SULFUR SMELL...LIKE EXHAUST. BELIEVE THAT THE EXHAUST (CARBON MONOXIDE) IS COMING INTO THE VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN MAY 2016, AND HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY DON'T FIND A PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF THIS IS CAUSING ME TO HAVE A HARD TIME BREATHING AT TIMES. HOPING THIS WILL FALL UNDER A RECALL SOON AND IT CAN GET FIXED.

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING TWO OF MY CHILDREN AGES 2 AND 10 COMPLAINED OF A BAD SMELL COMING FROM THE THIRD ROW SEATING. THEY BOTH BECAME STRANGELY ILL, BUT ONLY MY 2YO BEGAN VOMITING. MY 10 TO COMPLAINED OF BEING LIGHT HEADED DURING SEVERAL LONG TRIPS. I NOTICED ON MANY OCCASIONS THAT DURING HIGH ACCELERATION ANYONE THAT SITS IN THE THIRD ROW COMPLAINS OF STOMACH ACHES AFTER A LENGTHY TIME IN THE VEHICLE. I CHALKED IT UP TO CAR SICKNESS, BUT REMEMBERED THIS ONLY BECAME RELEVANT WHEN LEASING THIS FORD. PLEASE HELP US. I HAVE THREE KIDS AND NO OTHER VEHICLE. THIS ALL STARTED THIS PAST SUMMER.

ABOVE 60 MPH, WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE OR CLIMBING UP A GRADE, IF THE ENGINE DOWNSHIFTS TO A LOWER GEAR, A STRONG EXHAUST ODOR ENTERS THE CABIN. WHEN THE VEHICLE'S OPERATION RETURNS TO NORMAL, THE ODOR DISSIPATES WITHIN ABOUT 15 SECONDS. THE ENTIRE EVENT IS OVER WITHIN A MINUTE.

AS WITH OTHER FORD EXPLORER VEHICLES, THERE IS A STRONG SMELL WHILE ACCELERATING, LIKE BAD EXHAUST FUMES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT "SULFUR" EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN. IT IS SO STRONG IT IS HARD TO BREATHE. SEEMS TO BE THE WORST WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR AT SLOW MOVEMENT. WE HAVE HAD IT IN 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS & THE SECOND DEALERSHIP IS HELPING US WITH THE ISSUE. ITS BEEN THERE 2 MONTHS & EVERYTHING THEY HAVE TRIED HAS NOT WORKED, BUT THEY ARE STILL CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS 13,500 MILES.

CARBON MONOXIDE SMELL IS PREVALENT IN THE CABIN ESPECIALLY WHILE AC UNIT IS CIRCULATING. SMELLS SOUR OR LIKE ROTTEN EGGS. I'VE OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND USE IT FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL, SPENDING MANY HOURS AT A TIME IN THE CAR. AFTER CONDUCTING RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND PEOPLE HAVE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS. VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED.

SMELL EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE CABIN OF VEHICLE. EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE CONCERN. HAPPENS DURING FULL ACCELERATION AND DRIVING UPHILL AND WITH A/C UNIT ON.NOTICED UPON LEASE RECEPTION. FORD REPLACED EXHAUST SYSTEM BUT NOT HELPED, ACTUALLY NOW WORSE. ONGOING ISSUE UNRESOLVED.

EXHAUST FUMES (CARBON MONOXIDE) IS COMING INTO THE CABIN UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THE AC IS ON OR OFF. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. CAUSING HEALTH PROBLEMS, AND HAVE A NEWBORN.

WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND NOTICED A BURNING SMELL TO THE POINT WHERE SHE ROLLED DOWN WINDOWS TO AIR THE VEHICLE OUT. TOOK TO LOCAL FORD STORE KISSEE IN CLAREMORE OK IMMEDIATELY. THEY COULD NOT PINPOINT THE ISSUE BUT TOLD US OF SIMILAR ISSUE WITH EXHAUST ON 2012-2014 AND 15 MODELS BUT THAT FORD HAD NOT MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT 2016. PLANNED TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK A WEEK LATER BUT IT DID NOT REOCCUR SO WE DECIDED IT MUST HAVE BEEN BECAUSE IT WAS NEW AND SOMETHING BURNED OFF LIKE AN OIL. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE NOTICED MAYBE 1 OR 2 TIMES WHERE THERE WAS A SLIGHT SMELL BUT NOTHING ALARMING. THE EXPLORER WAS PURCHASED IN NOV 2016. AT THE TIME OF TAKING TO FORD STORE, AROUND 3K MILES. I AM WRITING NOW BECAUSE THIS APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO OTHERS MENTIONED IN A NEWS...

THERE IS A HEAVY SMELL OF TRASH/ROTTEN EGGS THAT STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2016 IN MY 2016 EXPLORER WITH 35,XXX MILES ON IT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET ($140.00/HOUR) FOR THEM TO SEARCH FOR A "DEAD ANIMAL". EVEN THOUGH IT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF ANIMAL DROPPINGS OR CHEWING. THEY ASKED THAT I RETURN THE RENTAL CAR. MY EXPLORER WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH NO ODOR (CAR WAS NOT RUNNING FOR DAYS). THAT WOULD TELL YOU RIGHT THERE THAT IT ISN'T AN ANIMAL. WHY WOULD THE SMELL GO AWAY COMPLETELY IF THE DEAD ANIMAL WAS JUST IN THERE 24-HOURS BEFORE? THE MINUTE THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS TURNED ON THE ODOR WAS BACK. OVER THE WINTER THERE WAS ONLY AN ODOR WHEN USING THE AUTOMATIC START (DEFAULT TO TURN ON DEFROST). NOW THAT WE ARE HAVING WARMER WEATHER THE SMELL IS BACK IN FULL...

VEHICLE LEAKS EXHAUST FUMES IN TO THE CABIN DURING ACCELERATION.

BAD SMELL IN CABIN, AFTER WATCHING REPORT ON CBS NEWS WORRIED ABOUT EXHAUST LEAK. HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND WE ARE UNABLE TO FIND OR RECREATE THE PROBLEM BUT COME BACK HOME AND THE SMELL/ORDER IS STILL IN CAR. WE NOTICE THE SMELL IN CLOSED AREAS AND AFTER WE PARK THE CAR ON CITY DRIVING. WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF YOUR INVESTAGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE

EXHAUST GAS SMELL INSIDE CABIN. PRIMARY DRIVER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING HEADACHES. VEHICLE HAS 6,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A 2016 MODEL.

WE TOOK OUR 2016 EXPLORER LIMITED BACK TO THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME AFTER SMELLING EXHAUST IN THE CABIN AGAIN WHILE IN OPERATION. DURING THE FIRST VISIT THE DEALER BEGAN DISCUSSING THE FORD REPAIR BULLETIN THAT CAME OUT 30 DAYS OR SO AGO THAT WAS TO FIX THE EXHAUST LEAK. HOWEVER, AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER WE RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE BULLETIN HE REFERENCED WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR 2011 THRU 2015". WE WERE TOLD THAT PER THE BULLETIN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FROM THE ENGINE MANIFOLD TO THE TAIL PIPE GETS REPLACED, A FRESH AIR VENT NEAR THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE GETS "RE-ROUTED" AND THE BUMPER COMES OFF TO GAIN ACCESS TO SOME METAL SEAMS NEEDED TO BE FILLED. OUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED HIS HANDS WERE TIED AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING MORE THAN TAKE IT IN A CHECK IT OUT. THEY CALLED A FOUND THE EXHAUST OUTLETS...

WHILE DRIVING OUT OF THE SUBDIVISION THE CAR STALLED. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. WE PARKED IT AND TOOK ANOTHER CAR WE HAD AT THE TIME. WE WILL MAKE MENTION OF IT TOMORROW WHEN I CALL THE DEALER AND ADD IT THE SERVICE TICKET REGARDING THE EXHAUST PROBLEM.

WHEN ACCELERATING EXHAUST FUMES ENTER CABIN. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER IF THE AC IS ON OR OFF AND NO MATTER IF THE VENT IS ON OR OFF. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE RESULTING IN THEM KEEPING IT 43 WORKING DAYS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE PURCHASED. WE PURCHASED THIS EXPLORER NEW HOWEVER IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 160 MILES ON IT. WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THE SMELL WAS JUST THE NEW WEARING OR THE ENGINE BREAKING IN, BUT AFTER A FEW THOUSAND MILES IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. I KNOW ALL EXPLORERS DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2013 EXPLORER AS A COMPANY VEHICLE IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE AND IT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY TOLD ME TO COME GET THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING FORD TOLD THEM TO DO TO FIX IT. THEY SAID I WILL HAVE TO TAKE...

WHILE MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER IS RUNNING AND STOPPED/PARKED THE CABIN FILLS UP WITH EXHAUST. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHILE AC/HEATER FAN IS RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT FIND AN EXHAUST LEAK. I WOULD DISAGREE WITH THIS. I PLACED A CO2 DETECTOR IN THE CAR WHILE PARKED AND THE DETECTOR WENT OFF. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXHAUST LEAKING INTO THE CABIN OF FORD EXPLORERS.

I JUST GOT BACK MY VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE CENTER AND ACCORDING TO THEIR FINDING THEIR WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES STARTER. I DROVE HOME PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF, SO I PUSHED THE START BUTTON AGAIN BUT STILL DID NOT TURN OFF THEN SECONDS LATER I SMELL SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY BACKED UP TO HAVE THE CAR OUTSIDE THE GARAGE . I HIT THE START BUTTON AGAIN TO TURN OFF AND THIS TIME THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. HEAVY SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SO I JUST STOOD AT A DISTANCE . 10-30 MINUTES LATER AS THE SMOKE SUBSIDED I DECIDED TO POP THE HOOD OPEN AND STILL THERE'S SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAVE A VIDEO BUT CANNOT ATTACH.

CAR HAS AN AWFUL SMELL WHEN USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL, DEALER SAID THERE WAS AN EXHAUST LEAK INTO THE TURBO, THEY REPLACED THE TURBO AND THE SMELL STILL PERSIST. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR A MONTH NOW. SMELL IS STRONGEST WHEN DRIVING AND CLIMATE CONTROL IS ON. *TR

EXCELLERATION ON AN INCLINE, HILL OR PASSING OTHER VEHICLES, CAB FILLS WITH NAUSEOUS FUMES. SMELLS LIKE A BAD CAT CONVERTER. THE FUMES CAN BE OVERPOWERING. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO LAKE HAVASU CITY BRADLEY FORD DEALERSHIP. CAR WAS RETURNED TO US WITH ASSURANCE THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN RESOLVED, IT HASN'T, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. WE TRANSPORT OUR 3 GRANDCHILDREN 60 MILES IN THIS VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY THAT HAS STEEP INCLINES AND NOW FEAR ENDANGERING THEIR HEALTH AS WELL AS OUR OWN, WE ARE SENIORS. WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINEERS AT FORD ARE WORKING ON THE PROBLEM, BUT THE TSB HAD BEEN PERFORMED THAT CUTS THE AC RECYCLE FEATURE OFF UPON ENGINE LOAD, BUT WE ARE STILL GETTING THAT SMELL. I CAN'T EXPRESS MORE CONCERN ABOUT HOW UNSAFE THIS CO PROBLEM IS. I CAN'T RISK THE HEALTH OF MY GRANDCHILDREN OR OURSELVES. FORD EITHER NEEDS TO REFUND MY MONEY OR OFFER...

EXHAUST IS SEEPING INTO THE CABIN WITH THE AC RECIRC BUTTON ENGAGED. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING TO THE 2015 AND PRIOR MODEL YEARS.

I HAVE OWNED A 2016 FORD EXPLORER XLT FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS... DURING THIS TIME EVERY TIME I EXCELERATE THERE IS A VERY STRONG BURNING SMELL. OF COARSE BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER DID NOTHING. THEY TOLD ME MAY BE A STICKER ON ENGINE BURNING.... AFTER 10 MONTHS THE SMELL IS STILL AS STRONG AS THE FIRST WEEK.. I WAS EVEN ASKED BY A POLICE OFFICER WHO HAD PULLED ME OVER FOR A LISENCE PLATE COVER, THAT MY CAR SMELLED OF MARIJUANA! THIS ALL WHILE HAVING CHILDREN AND GRAND PARENTS IN THE CAR!

I SMELL EXHAUST WHEN PASSING SOMEONE ON OPEN ROAD, OR ENTERING A FREEWAY. I HAVE CALLED FORD MULTIPLE TIMES, AND HAVE AN OPEN CASE. THEY DO NOT RETURN MY CALLS, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE WHERE THEY TELL ME ITS FIXED IT LASTS ABOUT A WEEK AND THE SMELL RETURNS. I RECENTLY HAD IT IN THE SHOP A SECOND TIME AND I SMELL THE EXHAUST AGAIN. I AM NOW CALLING THEM A THIRD TIME DUE TO THIS SMELL, BUT I AM GETTING NO WHERE. THIS CAN NOT BE SAFE FOR ME TO KEEP SMELLING THIS EXHAUST. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, IT WAS NOT A USED VEHICLE.

PURCHASED THE 2016 FORD EXPLORER AND NOTICED STRONG EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN. CONCERNED ABOUT OUR HEALTH, WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAD 3,000 MILES ON IT. RESEARCHED 'EXHAUST FUMES IN FORD EXPLORERS' AND DISCOVERED THAT 'FORD NAMED IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OVER LEAK OF CARBON MONOXIDE IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENTS OF EXPLORER VEHICLES', ANGELA SANCHEZ-KNUTSON VS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THE LAWSUIT INCLUDES 2011-15 FORD EXPLORERS. THEN WENT TO THE MANAGEMENT WITH THIS INFORMATION, WAS TOLD THAT ONLY 'SOME' EXPLORERS WERE AFFECTED SO WE ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE EXPLORER WITH ONE THAT 'DID NOT' HAVE THE EXHAUST FUMES PROBLEM. WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TITLED. DEMANDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE REPAIRED BUT AFTER 6 ATTEMPTS OF WHICH 2 WERE WITH THE FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS "NO FIX". GOOD...

WHEN ACCELERATING OVER 3500 RPM SMOKE GASES COME INSIDE THE CABIN IT STARTED WHEN I ACQUIRED THE VEHICLE AND HASN'T STOPPED EVER SINCE

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE RECALL (16B32)---WAS DRIVING ON THE 5 NORTH FREEWAY, AND HAD JUST MERGED ONTO THE 55 NORTH WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER. (I PUSHED THE GAS, BUT THE CAR COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE)--ALL POWER WAS GONE. I WAS, THANKFULLY, ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I CALLED AAA, AND WAS EVENTUALLY TOWED OUT OF THERE (TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE 2016 FORD EXPLORER.) FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS "NEW" RECALL REGARDING MY VEHICLE (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY REPAIR)---LEFT CAR ON SATURDAY. (SAID I COULD NOT GET A RENTAL SINCE IT WAS 2:58PM.) WENT TO GET A RENTAL CAR AT DEALERSHIP TODAY (MONDAY AFTER 2:30PM), BUT WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS READY TO GO HOME. I WAS INVOICED AT 3:14PM TODAY. PLEASE LOOK AT PAGE 1 --IT SAYS THAT WORK: "BEGAN:10-1-16 DONE:10-1-16", CAUSE: RECALL CORRECTION: REPROGRAM PCM"-----)*********TECHNICIAN TIME SPENT: 15:23 TO 15:43******...

( I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2016 FORD) I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH EXHAUST LEAK IN AIR CONDITION HOWEVER DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO FORD HAS NOT ISSUED ANY MANUALS HOW TO FIX THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND DEALER ADVISED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS PROBLEM CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

WHEN ACCELERATING BEYOND 3000 RPM, EXHAUST GASES ARE ALLOWED INTO VEHICLE CABIN. NO FIX FROM FORD AS OF YET.

I HAVE A 2016 FORD EXPLORER ,WHEN I EXCEED 3000 RPM THERE WILL BE STRONG EXHAUST SMELL COMING THROUGH THE A/C VENTILATION SYSTEM,I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES THEY DIDN'T FIX IT,I HAVE FOUR KIDS AGES 5 MONTHS TO 12 YEARS.

FUMES ENTERING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. DURING ACCELERATION AND ENGINE RPMS ABOVE 3K. DOCUMENTED AT THE FORD DEALER TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE.

I HAVE TO MAJOR COMPLAINTS WITH THE FORD EXPLORER 2016. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE FIRST OCCURRED WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ABOUT 7:30AM. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES PER ON HOUR ON A CITY STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A WRENCH SYMBOL SHOWS AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE. I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS SYMBOL BEFORE SO I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND COULD NOT FIND IT IN THE MANUAL. BEFORE THIS I ONLY COULD GO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR MAX SPEED. WHEN I GOOGLED THE WRENCH MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I AM SURE FORD IS AWARE OF THIS AND SHOULD HAD SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT. I HAD TO END UP LEAVING THE EXPLORER UP AT FORD FOR 2 AND A HALF WEEKS. WHEN I GOOGLED THE ISSUE IT SAID THESE EXPLORERS...

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2016 FORD EXPLORER WE BEGAN TO SMELL EXHAUST FUMES ON MY, MY WIFE AND YEAR AND A HALF OLD DAUGHTERS CLOTHING AFTER HAVING BEEN IN THE CABIN WITH THE REAR A/C TURNED ON. UNSURE OF WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM, WE EZLIMINATED THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ODOR BEING CAUSED FROM LOADING THE BABY IN WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE RUNNING BY NOT STARTING THE VEHICLE UNTIL WE WERE ALL IN. AFTER A FEW SHORT MINUTES OF DRIVING WE WOULD HAVE THE SAME EXHAUST SMELL ON ALL OF OUR CLOTHING. IN ADDITION THERE WERE PLUMES OF BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP. ALTHOUGH THE TWO ITEMS MAY NOT BE LINKED, THE FACT WE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AT LESS THAN 5K MILES IS MORE THAN UNSETTLING, NOT TO MENTION A POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE. I FEAR FOR THE...

I HAVE A 2015 FORD EXPLORER THAT I BOUGHT NEW. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES NOW, FOR EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN. I JUST RECENTLY PICKED IT UP THURSDAY. THEY REPLACED THE EXHAUST MUFFLERS WITH TURN DOWN EXHAUST. WE ASK THE SERVICE MANAGER IF HE DROVE IT. TO SEE IF THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. HE SAID NO, BUT HE HAD ALL THE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL WORK. WELL GUESS WHAT, IT DIDN'T! NOW I HAVE ANOTHER CALL INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE A VACATION TRIP PLANNED WITH MY GRANDKIDS COMING UP. THIS IS SO ANNOYING TO PAY SO MUCH FOR A CAR THAT STAYS IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ON THE ROAD. I LOVE MY EXPLORER, BUT I CAN'T KEEP DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLUS NOT HAVING A CAR TO DRIVE, BUT STILL MAKING THE PAYMENTS. THIS IS A FORD PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE FIXED,...

HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO ACCELERATE TO GET UP A HILL ON A CITY STREET AND ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE TRANSMISSION OR OTHER MAJOR PART JUST "DROPPED". STEERING WHEEL FROZE, CAR IDLED VIOLENTLY, COULD NOT MOVE VEHICLE, STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS UNTIL EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED.ACCELERATION WENT TO LITERALLY ZERO,SUV WOULD NOT MOVE. ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, STATED TO SEE MANUAL.PLACED CAR IN PARK SHUT OFF ENGINE AND WAITED AND STARTED AT BACK UP AGAIN. SCARRY STUFF, 2 CHILDREN 2 AND YOUNGER IN VEHICLE. WON'T LET ME INPUT ON NEXT PAGE, APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MILES AN HOUR, SUV HAS 5,500 MILES ON IT

WITH ONLY 3.9 K MILES THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATION AND TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR ON, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY MOVE AT IDLE SPEED WHILE IN DRIVE. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH TO IDLE MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE PART THAT WENT OUT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER REPLACED THE PART ON THE VEHICLE, I FEEL THAT THEY HAVE BEEN VERY IRRESPONSIBLE IN NOT RECALLING THIS PART AND ADVISING BUYERS THAT THE CAR HAS A "FAULTY" THROTTLE BODY. EVERYONE AT FORD THAT I HAVE SPOKE TO ALMOST IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT IF THE CAR WOULD HAVE SHUT OFF OR DE-CCELERATED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.

I WAS DRIVING CLOSE TO MY HOUSE AND ALMOST CAUSED A BIG ACCIDENT WHILE I HAD MY CHILDREN ON BOARD. THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY ( SUDDENLY STOPPED) AND LOST POWER, I WAS LUCKY THAT NOT ACCIDENT OCCURRED ( CAN U IMAGINE IF I WAS IN THE MIAMI EXPRESSWAY AND THAT HAPPENED). I'M ATTACHING A PIC SHOWING THE CHECK ENGINE, WRENCH LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY AMERICANS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, IT IS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND SHUTDOWN AT ANY TIME. FORD IS ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND YOU GUYS MORE LIKELY ARE AWARE TOO. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING TO ISSUE A RECALL?? WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE?

ON MY 2016 EXPLORER LIMITED 3.5 N/A V6 - UNDER HARD (GETTING ON FWY) OR EXTENDED ACCELERATION (UPHILL CLIMB) EXHAUST FUMES CAN BE NOTICED BY THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THERE IS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION ON THE 11-15 YEARS BUT THE 16 SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FROM NEW TO CURRENT 11K MILES. THIS HAPPENED ON MY PREVIOUS 2013 MODEL AS WELL.

EXHAUST OR BURNING SMELL INSIDE INTERIOR CABIN WHEN ACCELERATING.

THE 2016 MODEL ALSO HAS THE ODOR FROM THE VENTILATION WHICH IS INVESTIGATED NOW. THE ODOR OCCURS DURING DRIVING AT REGULAR METHODS AFTER THE ENGINE CAN HEAT UP FOR A FEW MILES. THIS "NEW CAR" SMELL WAS CALLED REGULAR HEATING OF NEW PARTS BY THE SALESMAN BUT NOW IT HAS BEEN 3000 MILES AND HE ODOR IS STILL HAPPENING. I JUST WANT THE 2016 TO BE CHECKED OUT FOR EMISSION TROUBLES TO MAINTAIN A SAFE RIDE FOR FAMILY MEMBERS.

MY VEHICLE EMITS EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION, THE EXHAUST SMELL IS SO POTENT, ME AND MY PASSENGERS HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND HAVE RETURNED IT FOR REPAIRS MANY TIMES SINCE. THEY HAVE SEALED ALL OPENINGS UNDER THE VEHICLE, REPLACED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND REPLACED THE VENTS IN THE BUMPER. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY EXPLORER, HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. MY LAST REPAIR VISIT IN JUNE 2016, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I NEED TO COME PICK UP MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY COULD DO NOTHING ELSE FOR IT. THEY HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR IT AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS HAS CAUSED VARIOUS HEALTH ISSUES FOR ME, WHICH INCLUDE, HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. FORD HAS IGNORED ALL OF MY REQUEST TO...

BURNING EXHAUST SMELL ENTERING INTO CABIN OF CAR WHEN CAR IS UNDER HARD ACCELERATION/FULL THROTTLE. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR CLIMBING STEEP HILLS. THIS BURNING EXHAUST SMELL MAKES ALL PASSENGERS FEEL SICK BY AFFECTING YOUR RESPIRATORY PASSAGEWAYS LEAVING A LUMP IN YOUR THROAT, BURNING YOUR EYES, GIVING YOU A HEADACHE, AND MAKING YOU FEEL NAUSEOUS. THE RECENT NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO 2011-2015 MODELS, SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE 2016 MODELS AS WELL. FORD HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM AND HAS TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO "FIX" MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER. NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND AND THEY HAVE REFUSED SO FAR TO TAKE THE CAR BACK.
