2017 FORD EXPLORER Unknown Or Other Problems

THE LINES TO THE REAR CABIN HEATING AND COOLING STARTED LEAKING R134, SO THE WHOLE CAR IS LOSING AIR CONDITIONING SINCE IT ALL TIES TOGETHER. THE CAR IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD, AND IS HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS, WHICH SHOULD BE QUITE EMBARRASSING TO AN EXPERIENCED AUTO MAKER LIKE FORD. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN COLORADO WHERE ROADS ARE SALTED IN THE WINTER, BUT THE LINES SHOULD BE ALUMINUM, SO THEY SHOULDN'T CORRODE FROM SALT.

GOT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. HAVE SMELLED STRONG EXHAUST SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO WORSEN.

CARBON MONOXIDE PRESENCE IN VEHICLE. REPEATEDLY TOOK IT TO THE SHOP STILL NO FIX, HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN PROBLEM PERSISTS CHANGE THE TIMING COVER PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE AT FIRST STARTUP, WHILE DRIVING LOCAL STREET AND FREEWAYS, PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE MY KIDS ARE GETTING SICK AND CONSTANT HEADACHE

CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK SINCE NEW . MY SON WILL HAVE HEADACHES AND BE NAUSEOUS WHEN WE TAKE LONGER CAR RIDES OR HARD ACCELERATION.

EXHAUST FUMES LEAKING IN TO THE CAB OF THE SUV. CAUSES A ROTTEN EGG SMELL, AND HAS LEFT MY SON AND I NAUSEOUS MANY TIMES.

CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK . MY DAUGHTER WILL HAVE HEADACHES AND BE NAUSEOUS WHEN WE TAKE LONGER CAR RIDES. I HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM/REACTION

WHILE GETTING IN THE PARKED CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER CLOSING DRIVER SIDE DOOR , REAR TAILGATE WINDOW EXPLODED . SOUNDING LIKE A GUNSHOT.

TOOK EXPLORER TO THE DEALERSHIP. FOR THE ROTTEN EGGS SMELL FOR THE SECOND TIME AS WELL AS ANOTHER ISSUE. THEY DID NOT ADDRESS THE EXHAUST SMELL AND WHEN QUESTION A SECOND TIME THEY STATED IT WAS DRIVEN AND THE COULD NOT SMELL IT. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE THE EXPLORER UNTIL IT GOT WORSE AND THEN BRING IT BACK IN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. FORD IS KNOWINGLY ALLOWING DEALERSHIPS TO PLACE DEFECTIVE EXPLORERS BACK ON THE STREET. PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT WITH THIS EXHAUST PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SINCE I NEED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE, OR PASS-OUT AND WRECK THE EXPLORER

MANUFACTURER: FORD MOTOR COMPANY , HANKOOK TIRE AMERICA CORP. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): [XXX] SUMMARY: PURCHASED 2017 FORD EXPLORER OCTOBER 2017 WITH ORIGINAL HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 255/50R20 105H TIRES. HAVE 28,000 MILES AND HAVE BEEN ROTATED AT EACH OIL CHANGE; HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOW AIR PRESSURE READINGS, EXTREME TREADWEAR AND 1EA TIRE FAILURE (SEPARATION (WHILE IN MOTION)). ...THIS IS ANOTHER DANGEROUS ISSUE SIMILAR TO THE FIRESTONE DISASTER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2017 FORD EXPLORER SPORT AWD HAD THE COURTESY SERVICE FOR THE EXHAUST BULLETIN DONE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR STILL SMELLS OF EXHAUST WHEN I ACCELERATE HARD. TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON RAMPS COMES TO MIND. OR IF ACCELERATE HARD FROM A STOP LIGHT IN THE CITY. PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO LOWER THE WINDOWS. DEALERS ARE USELESS THEY JUST CLAIM THE VEHICLES ARE SAFE. HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE PURCHASED NEW.

CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK INTO VEHICLE. CAR HAS FOUL ODOR THAT PERMEATES THROUGH THE CAR WHEN DRIVING. ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SEEMS TO BE ONLY WHEN THE A/C IS IN RECIRCULATION MODE

BOUGHT MY 2017 FORD EXPLORER BRAND NEW AND IT HAD BEEN FINE UNTIL 3 MONTHS AGO WHEN WE STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE INSIDE OF THE CABIN. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE TURN ON THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THE AC OR REGULAR AIR TURNED ON BLOWING THROUGH THE VENTS. IN TWO MINUTES OR SO THE SMELL IS GONE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, REPLACED THE CABIN FILTER BUT SMELL REMAINS. TOOK IT AGAIN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY ALSO SAID IT WASN'T CO2 OR AC GAS BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE I SUPPOSEDLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SMELL AS THEY HAVE NO ODOR. AS FAR AS I KNOW, CO2 SMELLS LIKE SMOKE THOUGH!! IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF CO2 COMPLAINTS IN THE CABIN, BUT APPARENTLY THAT WAS ACTUALLY WHEN...

TAKATA RECAL MY EXPLORER CAB IS FILLING WITH EXHAUST FUMES. MAKES ME DIZZY LIGHT HEADED AND NAUSEOUS PAYING FOR A VEHICLE I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE.

TAKEN BACK TO DEALER FOR ROTTEN EGG SMELL THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME AFTER ALL THEY DID WAS INSPECT PER THE TECH BULLETIN AND REPROGRAMMED AC UNIT,(STILL HAVE SMELL WHILE UNDER MEDIUM ACCELERATION ) ALSO WHISTLING COMING FROM INTAKE SIDE OF MOTOR.

EXHAUST LEAKING INTO CAB OF POLICE PACKAGE EXPLORER VEHICLE. SPRING OF 2018, SEALS OF MY EXPLORER WERE REPLACED. SEPT 2018, I FELT SICK, PULLED OVER AND PASSED OUT WHILE DRIVING EXPLORER. NEXT WEEK, DIFFERENT FORD DEALER LOCATED ADDITIONAL MISSED SEALS AND REPLACED ONES PREVIOUSLY REPLACED.

AFTER A HARD ACCELERATION, SULFUR SMELL TAKES OVER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE PERFORMED THE RECALL ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE SMELL IS STILL IN MY VEHICLE. I'VE CALLED THE FORD LINE ALSO. NO HELP FROM THEM. THEY TOLD ME TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

MY FATHER IN LAW BECAME CONCERNED AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR NEW 2017 FORD EXPLORER BECAUSE SOMEONE HE KNOWS HAD SEVERE HEALTH ISSUES FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING FROM HER FORD EXPLORER. HE URGED US TO PURCHASE A CO DETECTOR. I GOT ONLINE AND READ ABOUT SOME OF THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND DECIDED THIS WAS PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA. WE INSTALLED THE CO DETECTOR AND IT DID NOT TAKE LONG FOR IT TO START GOING OFF. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE "COURTESY SERVICE" THAT FORD RECOMMENDS FOR PEACE OF MIND. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE DETECTOR GOING OFF FROM TIME TO TIME. MY WIFE ALSO COMPLAINS OF HEADACHES AND FATIQUE OFTEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR ANY DISTANCE. BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER SERVICE YESTERDAY AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IN THE REAR, PASSENGER DOOR WHICH WAS...

I HAVE A TERRIBLE EXHAUST ODOR THAT ENTERS THE CAB OF MY CAR UPON ACCELERATION.

EXPLORER HAS LESS THAN 11000 MILES ON IT. SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, UNDER MILD TO HEAVY ACCELERATION, SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS FEELS THE CABIN. AFTER DRIVING FOR 20-30 MIN MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 10 START TO EXPERIENCE FATIGUE, HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. BE CONCERNED ABOUT CO2 POISONING I HAVE BOUGHT AN AFTER MARKET DETECTOR WHICH HAS NOT, ALARMED. THE SMELL HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN STRONGER AND STRONGER AS THE CAR INCREASES IN MILEAGE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 8/8/18 AND THEY WANT TO ASK ABOUT IN CABIN AIR FILTERS, LIKE THAT FILTERS OUT EXHAUST GAS. LAUGHABLE AT BEST. THEN AGAIN AS A FIREFIGHTER WILL TELL YOU IF YOU SMELL SMOKE THERE IS FIRE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING ACCELERATED, A STRONG ODOR OF SULFUR OR "ROTTEN EGGS" CONSUMES THE CABIN OF THE SUV. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE AIR SYSTEM IS IN ALL MODES, INCLUDING WHEN TURNED OFF. IT IS APPARENT THAT EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERING THE CABIN WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND ENDANGERING ALL PASSENGERS. THE VEHICLE HAS SPENT TWO WEEKS AT A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ON THIS ISSUE (REPROGRAMMED CLIMATE CONTROL, REAR SEAL CORRECTED) HOWEVER THE PROBLEM REMAINS AND HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. HEALTH CONCERNS HAVE BEEN ENDURED WITH DRIVER AND PASSENGERS DUE TO TOXICITY OF EXHAUST FUMES.

ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME WITH TRUCK VERTUS S1NOBLE2 255/50 R20 105 H ARE WORN OUT AFTER 15000 MILES OF NORMAL DRIVING..TREAD IS AT A MINIMUM AND TIRES LOOK WEAK ON SIDE WALLS...STARTING TO CRACK. TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 15000 MI

FAMILY HAS BEEN HAVING NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS AFTER SMELLING SEVERE EXHAUST IN THE CAB OF OUR VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40-50MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, TRAFFIC STOPPED ABRUPTLY, COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WITH BRAKE SUPPORT DID NOT ACTIVATE, DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A HARD STOP, BRAKES ENGAGED AT INITIAL PUSH OF THE PEDAL THEN BECAME UNRESPONSIVE REGARDLESS OF FORCE APPLIED TO THE PEDAL, VEHICLE REAR-END ANOTHER VEHICLE, AIR-BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM DID NOT ACTIVATE, 911 ASSIST DID NOT ACTIVATE.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO SAWGRASS FORD AS THERE IS A BAD SMELL OF SULPHUR/ROTTEN EGGS. DEALER CONDUCTED VOLUNTARY RECALL. HAVE BEEN BACK SEVERAL TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2018 WITH SAME ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS MAKING ME SICK!

EXHAUST SMELL IN CABIN UPON ACCELERATION. MY VEHICLE ALREADY HAD THE FORD RECOMMENDED REPAIR AT THE DEALER WHICH DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS WORSE NOW THAN WHEN IT STARTED. MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES. I SAW THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION REPORT ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING AND WANTED TO ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS.

HANKOOK TIRES SHOW PREMATURE WEAR ON ALL 4 TIRES. 255/50R20 105H ARE WORN 60-65% AT 17,600 MILES ON VEHICLE (15 MONTHS OLD). TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY 5,500 MILES.

MY VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY HAS AN EXHAUST SMELL WHILE DRIVING AND REGISTERS CO LEVELS FROM 3-5 PPM IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. UNDER HARD ACCELERATION THE CO LEVELS HAVE REGISTER ABOVE 11 PPM. THE SMELL AND CO LEVELS ARE AT THEIR WORST WHEN THE ENGINE IS UNDER A LOT OF STRAIN. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. I HAVE RECORDED CO LEVELS AS HIGH AS 38 PPM WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY AND STILL DO NOT HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. MY WIFE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MONITOR THE CO LEVELS IN OUR CAR. WE ARE AFRAID WE COULD BE CAUSING HARM TO OUR YOUNG CHILDREN AS WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN OUR VEHICLE. IS THERE ANY GUIDANCE ON WHAT THE LEVELS OF CO IN A VEHICLE SHOULD BE? I CANNOT FIND ANY IN MY RESEARCH. I HAVE PICTURES OF...

THERE WAS A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE HEATER BOX WHICH CAUSE THE HEATER CORE TO FAIL AND THEN IT BEGAN FILLING THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CABIN WITH COOLANT FUMES FOR TWO MONTHS. THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT COURTESY FORD HERE IN PORTLAND OR. IT WENT BACK THREE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. IF THEY WOULD HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTORS THEY COULD AND HAD THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS MAJOR FAILURE HAPPENING. BREATHING IN COOLANT AND BEING TOLD IT'S OKAY. IT ISN'T IS IT? PLEASE HELP.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD EXPLORER PLATINUM WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON NOVEMBER 25, 2016. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO REALIZE BUT EVERY TIME I WOULD DRIVE THE EXPLORER, MY EYES WOULD GET VERY HEAVY AND I WOULD DEVELOP A HEADACHE. I COMMUTE 42 MILES EACH WAY FOR WORK AND I CANT COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I ALMOST FELL COMPLETELY ASLEEP. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM TO DUE TO POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) LEAKS ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD THIS LOOKED AT EARLY THIS YEAR. FORD REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND I NOTICED A MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN HOW I FELT WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. RECENTLY, IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN WITH HEADACHES AND FEELING SLEEPY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS...

RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED ON MY FORD AND NOW WHEN THE MAX AC IS ON AND YOUR GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR NEED TO ACCELERATE THE MAX AC TURNS OFF AND COMES OUT OF THE DEFROST VENTS AND BLOWS HOT AIR THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND IT DOES OCCUR IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I CURRENTLY OWN OR HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST

TIRES THAT CAME WITH VEHICLE HAVE CHUNKS OF TREAD PEELING OFF /CUTTING FROM NORMAL DRIVING OF 9100 MILES AND 11 MONTHS. THIS PRESENTS SEVERAL HAZARDS SUCH AS VEHICLE STABILITY, TRACTION AND POTENTIAL BLOWOUT / ROLLOVERS OTHER SIZES THESE SAME HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE2 HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED DUE TO SIMILAR FAILURES. THESE ARE 255/50 R 20 SIZE.

CARBON MONOXIDE / EXHAUST GASES ENTERING THE PASSENGER CABIN WHILE DRIVING MADE ALL PASSENGERS ILL, WITH EXTREME HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM VACATION THE CABIN FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES AND WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. IT STARTED ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE EXPLORER AND OPENING THE WINDOWS OR TURNING ON THE RECIRCULATING AIR IN THE VEHICLE ONLY MADE THE EXHAUST FUMES WORSE. THIS REQUIRED MANY STOPS AND AIRING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE EXPLORER HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR THE FIRST REPAIR OF INSPECTING THE REAR SEAL AND REPROGRAMMING OF THE HVAC SYSTEM. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. CONTINUE TO HAVE EXHAUST FUMES IN THE PASSENGER CABIN.

AT APPROXIMATELY 6:20AM EDT ON MONDAY, 3/12/18 A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INSTALLED IN MY 2017 FORD EXPLORER PLATINUM INDICATED THE PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE PASSENGER CABIN EXCEEDING 100PPM. THIS ALARM WENT OFF WHEN I WAS 5 MINUTES IN TO MY COMMUTE TO WORK WHILE STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT ON A CITY STREET. I ALSO BEGAN GETTING A SEVERE HEADACHE AT THIS TIME. I WENT TO MY DOCTOR ON 3/13/18, ABOUT 24 HOURS SINCE LAST BEING IN THE VEHICLE, AND HAD MY BLOOD TESTED FOR CARBON MONOXIDE PRESENCE. THE CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN TEST CAME BACK WITH ELEVATED LEVELS OF CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN (THE LEVEL WAS 1.7 WHICH IS ABOVE THE 1.5 MAX THRESHOLD FOR NON-SMOKERS) WHICH INDICATES HARMFUL EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE. MY DOCTOR STATED THAT THIS LEVEL WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM SOMEONE INVOLVED IN A FIRE. ON 3/12/18 I ALSO DROPPED MY VEHICLE OFF AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR INVESTIGATION. THE...

MY DAUGHTER FREQUENTLY COMPLAINS OF HEADACHES, DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA WHEN RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO HER WHEN SHE IS IN THE FORD. ON ONE OCCASION SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND STARTED VOMITING. ER DOCTORS COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF HER ILLNESS.

I AM AN ATTORNEY FILING THIS REPORT ON BEHALF OF AND AT THE REQUEST OF MY CLIENT, THE VEHICLE'S OWNER. THE COMPLAINT IS A NOXIOUS ODOR WHICH FILLS THE VEHICLE DURING ITS OPERATION; AFTER NUMEROUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS BY FORD, THIS CONCERN HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER HAS OBSERVED THE INTERIOR HAS BECOME INUNDATED WITH A NOXIOUS, OVERWHELMING, AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ODOR OF GASOLINE, EXHAUST AND/OR FUMES. THE DRIVER HAS FELT ILL EFFECTS AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS AS A RESULT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS AND BECAUSE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN FOR ANY SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT FILLING WITH THIS ODOR. THE ISSUE HAS MOST OFTEN BEEN OBSERVED WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN THE ENGINE IS UNDER LOAD, I.E. ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE SHORTLY AFTER THE TIME...

EXHAUST SMELL IN PASSENGER CABIN LIGHT HEADED, NAUSEA, FLARED UP MY MIGRAINES. COMPLETE NEGLIGENCE ON BEHALF OF DEALERSHIP TO SELL ME VEHICLE AND NOT SHARE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS HEALTH CONCERN. IN ADDITION, THEY MENTION THE 'RECALL' AND FAIL TO ADDRESS IT. I BRING IT BACK, THEY FAILED TO FIX AGAIN AND NEVER TOLD ME. IT WASN'T UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH LATER...GETTING HEADACHES AND NAUSEA I CALLED JUST TO CONFIRM THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED, ONLY TO LEARN THEY NEVER FIXED IT BECAUSE THEY NEEDED A PART. AFTER FLIPPING OUT ON THE SERVICE MANAGER AND GENERAL MANAGER...THEY SAID IT'S A 'A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ACTION' ITEM...NOT A RECALL! BUT YET LICCARDI FORD INWATCHING NJ HORRIBLE!!! HOW COULD THEY BE SOOO NEGLIGENT! EVEN AS MUCH AS TO SAY IT'S BEEN NOTICED OR OBSERVED MORE IN POLICE EXPLORERS, BUT BE AWARE OF A PREEXISTING CONCERN! INSTEAD...NEGLIGENCE THAT LED TO ME GETTING NAUSEOUS AND SMELLING IT...

EXHAUST SMELL IN CABIN SEEMS COMING FROM HEATING DUCTS TOOK IT TO DEALER DID THERE SO CALLED FIX BUT STILL SMELL EXHAUST MAKES ME FEEL DIZZY WHEN DRIVING IT SEAMS THE SMELL COMES AND GO THE SMELL IS BAD AND ALSO MAKES EYES WATER

THERE IS A SMELL OF EXHAUST IN THE CABIN AT TIMES DRIVING. WHEN THE SMELL IS PRESENT I GET A SEVERE HEADACHE AND FEEL SICK TO MY STOMACH. A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WENT TO THE DEALER TO REPORT THE EXHAUST SMELL AND THEY IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN LIKE THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING. THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I RECEIVED A RENTAL CAR AND HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS. RECEIVE CALL TO PICK UP MY SUV. THE REPAIR ORDER SAID THEY REPLACED THE LIFT GATE WEATHER STRIPPING AND A FEW OTHER THINGS. I DROVE IT HOME AND THE EXHAUST SMELL WAS STILL PRESENT. I CALLED AND MADE ANOTHER SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY, 1/29/18.

SINCE THE DAY WE LEASED THIS VEHICLE, I ALWAYS FEEL A BIT GROGGY AND NAUSEOUS WHEN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. NO SPECIFIC DATE TO ATTACH TO THIS.

I HAVE BEEN DIZZY SINCE PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2017, BLURRED VISION AS WELL.

I AM CURRENTLY PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT. DIZZY, JUST VOMITED, BLURRY VISION. I AM STANDING BESIDE MY VEHICLE TO GET FRESH AIR. I HAVE BEEN IN MY VEHICLE FOR 3 HOURS DRIVING AND STARTED GETTING A HEADACHE THEN IT GOT WORSE. I REMEMBERED THE NEWS ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE AND I'M SCARED TO GET BACK IN MY VEHICLE. I AM STARTING TO FEEL BETTER WITH FRESH AIR. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS A LEAK.

HEADACHES AND NAUSEA, BLURRED VISION, DRIVING AN HOUR A DAY TO WORK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST INSIDE THE CABIN. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO FORD THREE TIMES AND HAS MODIFICATIONS COMPLETED BUT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS MORE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH THE AIR ON RECIRCULATE. THE LAT TIME I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER I WAS TOLD TO NOT PUT IT ON RECIRCULATE WHICH IS NOT UP TO MY STANDARD AS I PAID $30K FOR THE VEHICLE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT AS I WANT. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND IT IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY MY WIFE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WOULD LIKE A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. THEY TOLD ME THEY CANNOT TEST THIS AS THEY DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THEIR PARKING LOT.

VEHICLE IS TWO MONTHS OLD. SINCE PICKUP VEHICLE HAS HAD A SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS. MORE RECENTLY, I'VE BEEN GETTING A REVERB SOUND (LIKE ONE WINDOW IS CRACKED) WHICH I CAN FEEL IS DUE TO A POOR SEAL ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. WHEN IT WAS VERY COLD HERE WITH 40MPH WINDS I ACTUALLY FELT WIND COME IN THE DOOR-SEAL. WHILE THE ROTTEN EGG SMELL SUBSIDED, I GET AN EXHAUST FUME SMELL WHEN PARKED NEAR BUILDING REAR-WAYS IN, SUCH AS WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR AND IT WAS REVERSED AGAINST STEPS. THE SMELL OF THE EXHAUST FUMES FILLS THE CABIN CAUSING A HEADACHE AND HAVING TO CRACK THE WINDOWS TO AVOID THE SMELL. I'VE BEEN AVOIDING DRIVING THE CAR, WILL BE CALLING FORD SOON TO CHECK FOR A FIX FOR THIS. BRAND NEW 2017 FORD EXPLORER SPORT AND EXHAUST FUMES FILLING THE CABIN, EVEN WITH CIRCULATION SELECTED, SO IT SHOULDN'T BE...

NOXIOUS EXHAUST FUMES ARE POURING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WHENEVER THE HEAT OR A/C IS RUNNING AND ARE PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NOXIOUS FUMES ARE DETECTABLE BY HUMAN SENSE OF SMELL, AND THE NOXIOUS FUMES INCREASE IN VOLUME AS THE VEHICLE INCREASES IN SPEED.

SCOTT PETERSON MOTORS OF STURGIS COMPLETED THE 17N03 SERVICE ON THIS VEHICLE IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM OF EXHAUST ODOR IN THE CABIN. HOWEVER THE INTERMITTENT EXHAUST ODOR IS STILL PRESENT. ALSO TURNED ON A CO METER AND GOT A READING OF 114 PPM OF CO WHILE DRIVING. SURPRISING THAT WE GOT SUCH A HIGH READING AT A TIME WHEN WE DID NOT SMELL THE EXHAUST ODOR AT THAT TIME. WIFE STILL HAS A HEADACHE ALL DAY LONG AFTER GETTING THE INTERMITTENT EXHAUST ODOR IN THE CABIN DURING DRIVING IN TOWN.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR I NOTICED A FOUL SMELL ON THE INTERIOR. IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS. NOW THAT IT IS WINTER AND I AM WARMING UP MY CAR PRIOR TO GETTING AN IT I NOTICED THAT THAT SAME SMELL PERMEATES THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR AS WELL. MY ONLY ASSUMPTION COULD BE THAT WHATEVER IS COMING OUT OF THE CAR IS SOMEHOW LEAKING INSIDE THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR. IT IS A SMELL THAT MAKES YOU VERY VERY SICK TO YOUR STOMACH. CALLING MY FORD DEALERSHIP DID NO GOOD AS THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE.

THERE'S EXHAUST FUME IN THE CABIN MY WIFE HAS SUFFERED SEVERE HEADACHE AFTER 60 MINS OF DRIVING INCLUDED MY 20MONTHS OLD BABY. MY CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED ONCE AND IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN BECAUSE I LEFT A CO2 SENORS IN BACK SEAT AND HAS GONE OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. FORD IS NOT BEING VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE CAR ANYMORE. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I DON'T WANT MY WIFE AND TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL.

WHEN APPLYING JUST THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AT THE SAME MOMENT THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON A CLANKING OR CLICKING NOISE HAPPENS. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE NOISE IS ALSO RANDOM AND DESPITE EFFORTS TO INTENTIALLY DUPLICATE NOISE, IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FORD DELEARSHIP 5 PLUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING FROM THE SUSPENSION TO NUTS AND BOLTS BUT HAVE YET TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE NOISE OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND AT THE EXACT MOMENT ANY PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL.
