2017 FORD EXPLORER Structurebody Problems

2017 FORD EXPLORER XLT ROOF RAILS DETACH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY RIGHT ROOF RAIL TOP PIECE BLEW OFF. MULTIPLE CARS HAD TO SWERVE IN ORDER TO AVOID THE FLYING PIECE. MY LEFT ROOF RAIL ALMOST DID THE SAME THING. THIS, IN MY OPINION, IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO I'VE TALKED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER THESE ROOF RAILS ARE ASSEMBLED IS UNACCEPTABLE. I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THEIR GREY PLASTIC SECURING CLIPS. THANK YOU.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR ENTRY KEYPAD PILLAR MOLDING, JUST FELL OFF. IT APPEARS TO BE GLUED AND AFTER TIME THE GLUE DOESN'T HOLD AND THE WHOLE MOLDING JUST FALLS OFF AND HANGS FROM THE KEYLESS WIRES WHILE DRIVING AS IT SCRATCHES UP YOUR PAINT. DEALER WANTS OVER $600 TO REPLACE.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HAD ONE OF MY PLASTIC WINDSHIELD PILLARS FLY OFF. I PULLED OVER AND RETRIEVED IT AND GLUED IT BACK ON. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER I HAD MY OTHER SIDE FLY OFF, UNABLE TO RETRIEVE IT AND ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO I HAD MY FIRST SIDE FLY OFF AGAIN ALSO UNABLE TO RETRIEVE IT. I HAD ONE OF THE PILLARS HIT A PASSING VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 FORD EXPLORER IN JULY OF 2017. IT IS JUST PASSED 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS JUST OVER 60,000 MILES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LICARDI FORD IN WATCHUNG, NJ TO HAVE THEM LOOK AND ADVISE ON PAINT THAT IS BUBBLING ON THE FRONT HOOD. AFTER REVIEW THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THE 3 YEAR, 36K MILE HAS PASSED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE 5 YEAR/UNLIMITED MILEAGE CORROSION (PERFORATION ONLY) WOULD NOT APPLY EITHER. I WAS TOLD THE CORROSION WARRANTY WOULD ONLY APPLY IF THE CORROSION WOULD CREATE A HOLE. AFTERWARDS I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (CASE # [XXX]) AND WOULD BE TOLD THE SAME AS I MENTIONED ABOVE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON MY PART, I FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN CLASS ACTION SUITS FILED AGAINST FORD FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. THOSE COMPLAINTS SHOW THAT FORD HAS BEEN AWARE...

ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY VEHICLE WAS IDLING, BACKED STRAIGHT INTO THE TURNAROUND IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR IN PARK. THE TWO PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WERE OPEN. MY DAUGHTERS AND I (UNBUCKLED) SAT THERE ABOUT TEN MINUTES WHILE THE ENGINE WAS CRANKED BUT IN PARK, WAITING ON MY HUSBAND TO FINISH UP GRABBING THINGS FOR THE VACATION WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE ON. MY TWO YEAR OLD HAD MOVED TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT, AND I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY DAUGHTER REACHED OVER AND PRESSED THE PUSH TO START BUTTON AS SHE HAS A HUNDRED TIMES AND KILLED THE ENGINE, BUT THIS TIME, WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO DISENGAGE AND WE WERE SENT ROLLING DOWN THE HILL BEHIND MY TURN AROUND. I TRIED TO CLIMB OVER AND HIT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. WE WERE FINALLY STOPPED WHEN OUR BACK...

ON MAY 20TH 2020, I DROVE THE CAR FROM MY HOUSE TO THE GROCERY STORE, AN APPROXIMATE 7 MILES DRIVE. I PARKED THE CAR ON THE PARKING LOT, A FEW SECONDS AFTER LEAVING THE CAR WHITE SMOKE STARTED TO COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AS THE SECONDS PASSED THE WHITE SMOKE CONVERTED INTO A FIRE IN THE ENGINE, 5 MINUTES LATER THE CAR WAS LOST DUE TO FIRE. *TR

BUBBLING PAINT ON THE HOOD. *TR

THE FRONT EDGE OF THE HOOD IS PITTING UNDER THE PAINT WHICH IS AN IN GOING FORD ISSUE FOR DECADES NOW. UPON SPEAKING WITH FORD, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T HELP ME BECAUSE I DON'T GET MY VEHICLE SERVICE WITH FORD. SO THEY ARE REFUSING TO MAKE GOOD ON A PREEXISTING PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. THESE VEHICLES ARE PREDESTINED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT THE ALUMINUM HOOD AND PAINT CONFLICT THE VEHICLES HAVE. I CANNOT ATTACH PHOTOS NEGATE YOUR SYSTEM IS OLD AND DIDN'T TAKE PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN WITH HD CAMERAS! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE RIGHT SIDE PANEL OF THE WINDSHIELD FLEW OFF ALONG WITH THE RUBBER SEALANT. THIS CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO SWERVE IN ORDER TO AVOID IT HITTING. *TR

ADHESIVE TO THE FRONT DOOR UPPER PANEL (SECURICODE KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD) DID NOT ADHERE PROPERLY AND THE KEYLESS ENTRY PAD AND MOLDING BROKE ON THE HIGHWAY AND FLEW OFF. THIS CAUSED A MALFUNCTION SIGNAL TO THE LIFTGATE (SENSOR REGISTERED AS LIFT GATE AJAR, WHEN EFFECTIVELY CLOSED) INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF AND LIFTGATE WON'T OPEN. *TR

ROOF RAILS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE COME LOOSE, EJECTING FROM VEHICLE ON ROADWAY. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. AFTER REPAIR, THE ROOF RAIL CAP WILL STAY ON FOR AROUND 1 TO 2 MONTHS THEN BECOME LOOSE AGAIN. BOTH THE ROOF RAIL ASSEMBLY AS A WHOLE AND THE ROOF RAIL CAP HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN AND COULD INJURE OR CAUSE DEATH TO PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLE OPERATORS AROUND.

ROOF RAIL COVER AND TRIM PIECES LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF WINDSHIELD HAVE FLEW OFF WHILE IN MOTION MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE HAD THESE PIECES REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVEN ON WINDY DAYS I CAN HEAR THESE PIECES RATTLING. LUCKILY THESE PIECES HAVE NOT HIT ANOTHER PERSON OR VEHICLE YET BUT UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH 2017 FORD EXPLORERS. HOW IS THIS NOT RECALL WORTHY?

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS EXPLORER. THERE WAS A NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN THE A/C IS RUNNING AND GIBBONS FORD TRIED TO FIX IT SEVERAL TIMES. THEY TIGHTENED A HEAT SHIELD TWICE. REPLACED THE IDLER AND BELT 3 TIMES AND FINALLY CHANGED THE A/C COMPRESSOR. ALSO THE HOOD BUBBLED AND THEY REPLACED THE HOOD AND REPAINTED IT. THERE ALSO WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK AND THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY ENDED UP BUYING THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO THE ONGOING UNRESOLVED ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR FRAMEWORK WAS FAULTY. THE CONTACT STATED THE DOOR MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE WITH THE FRAMEWORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION FORD KATY (20777 KATY FWY, KATY, TX 77450) BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON MY FLAT DRIVEWAY MY DAUGHTER BACKED HER FORD EDGE INTO THE REAR OF THE EXPLORER AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE EXPLORER WHICH WAS NOT RUNNING AND WAS TURNED OFF AND IN PARK AT THE TIME ROLLED OFF THE DRIVEWAY. ROLLED THROUGH AN OPEN LOT BEHIND OUR HOUSE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL THROUGH THE OPEN LOT AND CROSSED THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET BEHIND OUR HOUSE. THE VEHICLE THEN ROLLED THROUGH ANOTHER VACANT LOT, AND ROLLED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT THROUGH ANOTHER LOT. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ONLY AFTER STRIKING A TREE AND COMING TO REST. IN ALL THE VEHICLE TRAVELED APPROX 300 YARDS AND HAD IT NOT STRUCK THE TREE IT WOULD HAVE CROSSED A BUSY TWO LANE ROAD. I GOT TO THE VEHICLE IT WAS LOCKED AND IN PARK. THERE WAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF FRONT END DAMAGE AND THERE WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT....

ROOF RACK RAIL CAP DEPARTED THE VEHICLE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY.

PAINT ON THE HOOD IS BUBBLING, STEERING FEELS LOSE, AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CRACKED DO TO COLD TEMP....CONTACTED FORD THEY DIA OT HELP OR DID NOT CAR

ON 09/11/2019, AT APPROXIMATELY 6PM, WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON WV SR2 NORTH APPROXIMATELY 2.5 TO 3.0 MILES NORTH OF THE SR2 I-77 INTERCHANGE. 2017 FORD EXPLORER WAS STOPPED, WAITING ON OPPOSING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, IN ORDER TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT OF CHURCH. VEHICLE WAS REAR-ENDED BY A DODGE DAKOTA PICKUP TRUCK IMPACTING SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE 4 OCCUPANTS OF THE EXPLORER. THE DRIVER WAS A 39 YEAR OLD MALE. THE FRONT PASSENGER WAS A 36 YEAR OLD FEMALE. IN THE SECOND ROW WERE THE OTHER 2 PASSENGERS. ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS A 4 YEAR OLD FEMALE, FORWARD FACING IN A GRACO EXTEND2FIT CAR SEAT. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS OCCUPIED BY A 7 YEAR OLD MALE IN AN EVENFLO BOOSTER SEAT. ALL PASSENGERS WERE WEARING APPROPRIATE RESTRAINING DEVICES. ALL PASSENGERS WERE SHAKEN UP, WITH EXTERNAL...

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A 2 VEHICLE ACCIDENT. EXPLORER WAS REAR ENDED BY A VEHICLE (DODGE DAKOTA PICKUP TRUCK) TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHILE EXPLORER WAS AT A STOP, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. THE IMPACT WAS SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER TO THE DRIVER SIDE. THE DRIVER SEAT BACK COLLAPSED BACKWARDS CAUSING DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER TO COLLIDE RESULTING IN LACERATIONS AND HEAD INJURIES TO BOTH.

EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE FROM THE FRONT CABIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TERRIBLE ON WINDY DAYS AS IT GETS WORSE. BEST GUESS WOULD BE POOR DOOR SEAL AROUND THE LATCH AREA. DOOR RUBBER WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED BUT NO FIX. VERY NOISY IN CABIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ON BOTH DOORS THE GREASE AROUND THE CONTROL ARM FOR THE DOOR HAS COME AWAY AND BECOME SQUEAKY TWICE. SOMETHING DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ALIGNED PROPERLY.

THE LEANING EDGES OF CAR HOOD HAS PAINT BUBBLES. THE LOCAL FORD REPRESENTATIVE STATED THIS WAS A CLASSIC FAULT OF FORD IN LATER MODELS WITH ALUMINUM HOODS. HE STATED THAT MOISTURE WILL PENETRATE THE PAINT AND CAUSE BUBBLES. HE STATED THAT FORD MOTOR WILL NOT CORRECT PROBLEM NOR WILL THEY REPAINT AT THEIR EXPENSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING A ROUTINE INSPECTION BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, CORROSION WAS FOUND ALL AROUND THE VEHICLE. BROADWAY AUTO (1010 S MILITARY AVENUE, GREEN BAY, WI 54304, (855) 395-2127)SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,092. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED WHEN A CAR WASH CHAIN BROKE. THE CAR WASH'S DOOR DROPPED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND THE VEHICLE CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE. WHILE AWAITING THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RUST DUE TO WATER DAMAGE FROM THE CAR WASH. *JS *DT

ROOF RAIL COVERS HAVE REPEATEDLY BLOWN OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY FORD UNDER THE 3 YEAR/36K WARRANTY 3 TIMES ON MY VEHICLE, AND HAVE BLOWN OFF ON BOTH SIDES. THEY ARE ABOUT 5 FEET LONG PIECES OF PLASTIC, AND CERTAINLY PRESENT A HAZARD TO CARS ON THE HIGHWAY BEHIND ME WHEN THEY BLOW OFF. THE DESIGN APPEARS VERY POOR, AS THEY ARE SNAPPED INTO PLACE.

TRIM PIECES ON EITHER SIDE OF FRONT WINDSHIELD FLEW OFF WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. BOTH SIDES CAME DETACHED DURING TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS ABOUT A MONTH APART FROM EACH OTHER. DURING ONE INCIDENT (07/27/18) THE TRIM PIECE FLEW OFF OF MY CAR AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THEIR FRONT WINDSHIELD. DURING THE OTHER INCIDENT (08/08/18), THE TRIM PIECE CAUSED A CAR BEHIND ME TO SWERVE TO AVOID THE DEBRIS WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A MUCH WORSE ACCIDENT.

MOLDINGS FLY OUT WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED THEM ONCE ALREADY. SECOND TIME IT FLEW OUT HIT ANOTHER CAR.

ROOF RACK RAILS WITH PLASTIC COVER ON DRIVERS SIDE DETACHED AND FLEW OFF THE VEHICLE AT A SPEED OF 70MPH. DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS OFF TILL I STOPPED FOR FUEL. IF THIS PART HAD HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AND ACCIDENT. IT IS IN MY OPINION THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN. I DON'T WANT TO BE LIABLE FOR ANYONE BECOMING INJURED DUE TO THE COVER HITTING A WINDSHIELD OR CAUSING OTHER DAMAGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE PILLARS ON THE VEHICLE WERE MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE PILLARS WERE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FUTURE FORD LINCOLN (650 AUTOMALL DR., ROSEVILLE, CA 95661). THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNTOUCHABLE AND THE FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT FROM THE SUN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. *TT

DRIVER SIDE DOOR UNLATCHED AND FLEW COMPLETELY OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AFTER DRIVING FOR 40 MINUTES.

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON ICY ROADS ON DECEMBER 5. SHE WAS DRIVING OUR 2017 FORD EXPLORER WHICH WE HAD PURCHASED ON MAY 31, 2017. SHE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY AND HEADED NORTH. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND SHE HAD JUST GOTTEN THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN A VEHICLE THAT WAS HEADING SOUTH, LOST CONTROL AND HIT HER HEAD-ON. THE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE SUSTAINED ON THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. BEYOND THIS DAMAGE, THE IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH THAT A MOTOR MOUNT MOUNTING PIN WAS SHEARED CLEAN OFF THE MOTOR AS WAS THE COVER ON THE TIMING BELT. THE REBAR IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR WAS SNAPPED COMPLETELY IN HALF. ALL THIS DAMAGE...AND THE AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS SUFFICIENT DAMAGE THAT THIS $50,000+ VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. I'VE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP...

ON 10/31/17 WHILE OUT WITH MY CHILDREN TRICK-OR-TREATING, THE LIFTGATE ON MY LEASED 2017 FORD EXPLORER BECAME "STUCK" IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AND WOULD NOT CLOSE ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. MY FAMILY AND I HAD PULLED OVER AND PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA TO GET ITEMS OUT FROM THE REAR STORAGE AREA. I HAD OPENED THE HATCH WITH THE ELECTRONIC SWITCH AND THE DOOR STOPPED ABOUT 2/3 OF THE WAY UP. AS THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME PREVIOUSLY, I FOLLOWED THE MANUAL DIRECTIONS TO SET THE LIFTGATE OPEN HEIGHT. WE FINISHED GETTING OUR ITEMS OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND PRESSED THE CONTROL BUTTON TO CLOSE. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT THE LIFTGATE--NOW AT MAXIMUM HEIGHT--SIMPLY MADE "WHIRRING" SOUNDS AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. DESPITE REFERENCING THE OWNER'S MANUAL, CALLING FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND SCOURING THE INTERNET FOR POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS, ALL ATTEMPTS TO BYPASS THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM/MOTOR AND MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOOR...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS HIGH SPEEDS, EXHAUST FUMES ENTERED INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER WERE ACTIVATED, THE ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES ENTERED THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE CONTACT SUFFERED HEADACHES FROM EXPOSURE TO THE FUMES. CRAIN FORD IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, 72210 REPLACED A GASKET AND SEALED THE VEHICLE (EXACT REPAIRS UNKNOWN), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: CAS-13337847. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,000.

THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY, OBSTRUCTING VISABILITY.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTED IN PASSENGER CABIN - AFTER READING STORIES ABOUT POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) IN 2016 FORD EXPLORERS IN MID JULY 2017 I PURCHASED A KIDDE BATTERY POWERED CO DETECTOR AND INSTALLED IT IN THE REAR AREA OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IT HAD NOT ALARMED UNTIL WE WERE TRAVELING FROM SENECA, SC TO INDIANAPOLIS, IN. WE WERE TOWING AN 8X5 ENCLOSED U-HAUL TRAILER AT NORMAL FREEWAY SPEEDS. TOW/HAUL WAS ENGAGED BECAUSE WE WERE TOWING AND THE ENGINE WAS GENERALLY RUNNING AT HIGHER RPM'S, ESPECIALLY GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN INCLINES. THE CO DETECTOR FIRST ALARMED WEST OF ASHVIILLE, NC. SUDDENLY THE HEADACHES AND DROWSINESS BOTH MY WIFE AND I WERE EXPERIENCING MADE SENSE. WE OPENED THE WINDOWS AND THE ALARM STOPPED AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES. AFTER THIS HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES I MOVED THE DETECTOR TO THE FRONT OF THE PASSENGER CABIN SO THAT I COULD MONITOR THE PART...

OCCASIONALLY WHEN I DROVE THE CAR I FELT LIGHT HEADEDNESS AND DIZINIESS. ON 8/3/2017 I FELT THE DIZZINESS AGAIN AND ENDED UP IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS GOING TO PASS OUT AND IN A FLASH I CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY 2017 FORD EXPLORER AND A CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK. I HAVE OVERALL FEELING BAD SINCE WE GOT OUR NEW 2017 FORD EXPLORER, WHICH IS VERY OUT OF CHARACTER FOR ME. I AM A PRIOR SPECIAL OPERATION VETERAN, OVERALL IN GOOD HEALTH, AND ONLY 30Y/O. LIKE MANY, WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VEHICLE I AM GETTING NAUSEA, WEAKNESS, AND TENSION HEADACHES FROM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN VERY WEAK AND HAVING HEADACHES, AS OF LATE. THIS HAS HAD A MAJOR IMPACT ON MY DAY-TO-DAY LIFE. I COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY OR WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH ME IT SEEMED AS IF IT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. I AM STARTING TO THINK MAYBE I HAVE LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS. I GOT THE FORD EXPLORE 3 WEEKS AGO AND THIS SUDDEN SICKNESS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THEN. I GOT SO WORRIED WITH...

THE VEHICLE WAS TESTED AND FOUND TO HAVE 18 PPM OF CO IN THE INTERIOR WHILE IN OPERATION.

AFTER HARD TAKE OFF EXHAUST GETS IN CABEN CAUSING HEADACHES UNLESS YOU ROLL WINDOW DOWN DURING CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING

WHEN DRIVING ON THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE TURNPIKE (70 MPH) THE MOLDING ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. UPON RETURNING HOME I NOTICED THAT THE SAME PIECE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE MOLDING OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. THIS HAPPENED MIDDAY ON SUNDAY, MAY 14, 2017 YOU MAY NOTICE THIS IS THE SAME CAR THAT STOPPED DRIVING AS I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT PURCHASING IT LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO.

VERY STRONG EXHAUST SMELL IN CABIN AFTER HARD ACCELERATION. THE AC WAS ON AND IN THE RECIRCULATION POSITION. THE SMELL IS STRONG AND THE CABIN MUST BE VENTED BY ROLLING THE WINDOWS DOWN TO EVACUATE THE SMELL.
