During hard acceleration, a "smell" enters the interior of the car. the "smell" is of sulfur or rotten eggs. the smell is definitely coming from the exhaust. ford acknowledged the problem and performed a tsb to fix. the tsb did not fix the problem, and the dealership says they have to wait for an engineer. service manager says there is only 1 ford engineer for all of south texas. *tr
My 2014 ford explorer lets in an extreme amount of fumes into the cabin of the vehicle during heavy exceleration. i have to put all four windows down for a good amount of time before i am able to clear the cabin of the fumes. my first complaint at the local ford dealer happened 6 weeks after leasing the vehicle. i have had the vehicle for 10 mos. now and have only 5500 miles on it because the fumes are so bad that we don't dare drive our pets in the vehicle or ourselves because we get sick and suffer from headaches and nausea from the fumes in it. unfortunately we are trapped in a lease and the ford dealership will only do a trade in value on it. so i cant even sell the vehicle for what its worth because of the lease. can't afford that kind of loss because i traded in my toyota 4 runner in to get the monthly lease payment down. won't get that 8 grand back on trade in. heart breaking because this is my dream truck, but it is obviously very defective. *js
When accelerating to pass a dangerous truck (58 mph) strong fumes comes inside the cabin, acceleration took 8 seconds, instantly we start coughing and get watery eyes, our year old baby start crying showing symptoms of distress, we tell this to sales person, which quickly told us the story that this happens with new cars.. supposedly new engines should not be highly accelerated. naively we believe this and decide to give it a few days? day become months and problem got worst, after few months we decide to take the car in for service, unfortunately ford from first day treat us like if we were inventing the matter, and make my wife look like if she were crazy, the worst part is that they know that car has the defect as previous generations has the same problem(fordtechnical bulletin confirm this ).we continue to follow the regular procedure and went to the dealership asking them to fix the problem,they only show they were clueless about it and after more than seven times leaving the car there they say there??s nothing they can do about it. we contact ford manufacturer directly,which make us go through a long process of verifying back and forward, and at the end an ??engineer?? send especially directly from ford to the dealership tell us practically that just don??t accelerate to avoid this !!!!.we took the car to specialist that measured co with a professional tool that show more than 140 part per million!!!!!.this is serious problem that ford should be responsible for it, my family has been sick with flue like symptoms for a long time, my wife experienced a very long lasting cough that only start getting better after forcefully i have to get her another car as i could no longer expose my family to more of this dangers. i request to ford to replace the car and they denied my request i believe nhtsa should step up on to this and protect the consumers, thanks *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford explorer. while driving at approximately 60 mph whenattempting to accelerate or going up an incline, the vehicle emitted a burning odor. the contact stated that this was a recurring failure. the vehicle was driven to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the technician stated that that the fumes leaking into the vehicle might be caused by cracks in the rear of the vehicle. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 150.
Ford explorer class action lawsuit ! carbon monoxide emissions building up inside driver and passenger compartment/areas ? this is a very dangerous and unhealthy problem for ford owners with these vehicles ! i have been part of the class action law from the beginning and nothing is happening to settle the problem? my ford dealership (flammer ford of spring hill )has told me for almost three years that ford has not come up with a fix so we keep driving and using a vehicle that is unhealthy . i and my wife take the brunt of the sickening oder from the exhaust fumes backing up inside passenger compartment because we don't want to trade in for new and someone else gets sick or dies from the carbon monoxide fumes ? ford has stated under oath that they cannot fix the problem ? i have that document ! i have written ford two or three times and they always refer me back to dealership and they in return tell me there is no fix for problem ! we need some type of consideration for the big loss in the value of explorer and again i don't want someone else to deal or have to put up with same serious problem.
