When accelerate quickly exhaust fumes enter into cabin of vehicle.
Please recall the 2011-2017 ford explorer. as i am sitting here watching the world news, i just saw the news piece about ford wanting try to now repair their unsafe vehicles for carbon monoxide. ford knows that these vehicles cannot be repaired. these vehicles have a tremendous amount of entry points, the entire vehicle would have to be disassembled. i then see a commercial for a local ford dealer advertising a new 2017 ford explorer for sale. are you kidding me, ford is still trying to sell these rolling gas chambers to unsuspecting people. what happened to the engineering analysis that the nhtsa was doing? what are the results from those findings? cracked exhaust manifolds! buy yourself a low level carbon monoxide detector and test it yourself! ford is saying they have no proof carbon monoxide is entering civilian ford explorers, i have proof! (64ppm) the carbon monoxide is entering the vehicle under all driving conditions but that is why it is worse when people are traveling on the interstate everyone in the vehicle is getting so sick. the more heat the cracked exhaust manifold has to dissipate, the larger the cracks become. the more carbon monoxide and exhaust fumes are entering the cabin of the vehicle from all of the entry points. ford cannot stop this problem with just sealing up a few of the entry points. stop lying to the people. it's time for ford to pay the price for what they have known all along and have lied about to their innocent customers! force ford to recall these vehicles! you have the power to do it! what about the consumers, we have made thousands of complaints, we can't all be imagining this problem!
Force ford to buy back, no recall, all of the 2011 to 2017 ford explorers. stop protecting them from the carbon monoxide problems, because of the cracked exhaust manifolds that are leaking carbon monoxide into the cabins of all these vehicles. ford knows what is wrong with these defective vehicles but does not want to be held accountable. someone needs to do the right thing. ford needs to stop stealing money from everyone who is buying these vehicles and you can't even drive them. we are getting nothing in return for our money and now we can't even give them away because they have no value! what a circus this has become, even with all of the publicity, ford is still lying to their customers. ford should not be able to get away with doing this to people! we are complaining and nobody is doing anything. come on people. another complaint, and no action! what is the point of complaining.
October 1, 2017. here we go again! how many ford customers have to continue to make complaints on the nhtsa website before the nhtsa forces ford to recall the ford explorers that obviously cannot be fixed! what are yall doing? why is there no recall for this trash vehicle that ford is continuing to build and sell to unknowingly innocent victims. and i say victims because they are committing fraud by selling this trash! and yes i am pissed! you say you have no medical evidence to support the carbon monoxide claims. that is a lie! what about the henderson, la police officer that submitted the blood test results to cbs news and she is not the only one. . really people, alot of good it is doing to make all these complaints. do your job, recall this vehicle and hold ford accountable for this s---! maybe next time they won't be so quick to sell this trash and take people's money. i am beyond pissed i am furious! would you want your family in a ford explorer. this is not just police interceptor models! i am so tired of hearing all of fords lies and bs! looks like the nhtsa is not working for the consumers but for ford. and you can take my comment however you want to. i am sure i am not the only one that is furious! lets see how much longer this will continue to get ignored. you should be ashamed of your actions or lack of. maybe you all should buy them and drive them.
Today is october 16, 2017 and ford is saying they will do complimentary repairs to our suv. well it might help if they would fix the right part! ford knows that the carbon monoxide and exhaust fumes are being released from the cracked exhaust manifolds on these vehicles but still are lying to the consumers. ford explorers have over 80 entry points where these exhaust fumes are entering these vehicles making people sick! so ford continues to lie about what is really going on with there unsafe vehicles! shame on you ford motor company for all of your cover ups. no more ford products. they should have to file bankruptcy! people need to wake up and google ford explorer carbon monoxide on the internet. you will be shocked to learn the truth about ford and these vehicles!
I purchased a brand new 2015 ford explorer xlt, 3.5 v6, in november 2014. at approximately 7,000 miles (beginning in april 2015) i started to notice a rotten egg odor inside the vehicle during acceleration, while entering the freeway. the smell would occur especially during a hard acceleration. the smell was noticeable while the a/c system was on "vent" and "recirculate" mode. on 7/6/2015 i took the explorer to my ford dealership and they acknowledged the complaint and stated there was a service bulletin 14-130 to correct the problem. their description on the fix, was that a special air-filter located inside the rear bumper area needed to be replace. they stated that the smell is coming from my evap-canister. i left the explorer there for the repair and it took them almost two days. they said, it was at least a full days labor to fix the problem because they had to remove the whole rear bumper and other parts, etc. after the repair was made, a week later, i was able to take the explorer on the freeway and still noticed the rotten egg odor during acceleration. this time the odor is only noticeable during "vent" mode when the a/c is turned on. i am contacting my dealer today about this. i am very concerned about this issue with other ford owners because these "fumes" in the cabin area most likely are affecting your health and other passengers. updated 12/06/2017*cn
Bought vehicle brand new at the end of march 2015 and it smells like rotten eggs when accelerating or climbing a hill and has since i bought it.
You can smell the exhaust inside the cabin while driving. it is noticeable when you have to hit the gas to speed up to go around a vehicle or getting onto the interstate. after hearing on the news about the police having the same issue, i wanted to make sure that my complaint has been noted. i will be purchasing a co2 detector and placing it inside my vehicle where my 3 year old and 7 month old sit. there safety is top priority and hope a recall is coming soon. i noticed the smell when i purchased the vehicle new in march of 2015
Vehicle emits carbon monoxide when excelerating. when vehicle was purchased we complained about this smell inside of the vehicle. the dealership supposedly fixed this issue however the problem remained. when we called again to voice frustration, dealership said there was nothing else they could do about this. received notice from ford motor corp january 2019 indicating they are aware that some owners have concerns about exhaust or carbon monoxide and that these vehicles are safe however ford is offering a no charge service that reduces the potential for exhaust to enter the vehicle. we have since taken the vehicle in for this service however, the exhaust fumes inside still exist. my wife drives this vehicle daily to work 25 miles each way and has become frequently ill due to this vehicle. headaches and nausea and an increase of her blood pressure. please advise if there are any remedies going forward as we are afraid to continue driving this unsafe vehicle
Bought vehicle, left dealership, drove approx 13 miles, parked truck while running, as my son and i waited for my wife outside of a store... we noticed a bad fume smell. my wife got in the car and ask what's that smell? i passed off as maybe protective oils burning off new parts. next day i came home from work 12 miles away. again vehicle in park waiting for my wife to meet me outside as we were going straight to the store.... the smell returned! we drove to get lunch meat 2 miles. it got worse as i drove. i notice as soon as i turned the heat down a bit... the smell got worse. maybe because this allows more outside air to blend? after this i was sure this was a big problem. i searched the web for ford explorer fumes and was shocked to see all of the complaints lawsuits and media this has gotten! how could i not have heard about this? i'm quite sure there are plenty of people who haven't complained ! i don't want to believe the truck i fell in love with has this huge problem! i'm returning it! no repairs! don't want it! something needs to be done! i felt sick and dizzy after a short drive! please believe me! this is bad! *tr
I just have become aware the growing concern about ford explorer exhaust/rotten egg smell. my 2015 experiences this condition on a daily basis. i have asked the ford dealerships on numerous occasions to look into this but they have always told me "no problem found". my son came home tonight and told us a neighbor having the same complaints and now that i have researched it on the internet it appears to be a wide spread problem. it does get so bad that i have to roll windows down because of headaches.
When accelerating the exhaust odor comes inside the vehicle. at a stop sign the smell is also there but not as bad as when accelerating. we have taken the vehicle to a dealer in minnesota and one in florida and both told us "that is the way it is" and nothing can be done. we have been unhappy since we bought the vehicle on 12/31/2014 and continue to be unhappy. is there anything that can be done?
Under hard acceleration there is an exhaust smell inside the cabin. dealer claims that this does not happen and no one else has complained about the smell. dealer is wrong there is a smell when accelerating full throttle.
When under load (i.e. climbing hill) or fast acceleration (passing a vehicle) there is a strong odor of exhaust in the passenger cabin. the odor is coming from the air vents throughout the vehicle. windows must be opened to get rid of the smell. this occurs primarily when air conditioner is on, but has also happened when ac off. vehicle was returned to dealer for this problem and tsb-14-0130 performed, however, problem still occurs although less frequently and odor not as strong.
Horrible rotten egg, burning smell when accelerating in the cabin. have taken it in 3 times and they tell me it will burn off between 10-15000 miles. i can't imagine that the fumes in the cabin are good for me and my family and the lack of concern from ford is laughable. we have contacted ford with minimal, unhelpful responses from them. along with health concerns, the smell coming out of the exhaust is awful and probably should be brought to the epa. i attempted to drive 2 new 2015 straight of the train and they both were just as bad. this is not an isolated problem. *tr
I can smell gas fumes in the interior of the car when driving. sometimes the odor is more when i accelerate. the smell isn't there all the time, but is pretty strong when it is present. this has happened several times -- ever since we bought the car. we bought the car in 2014.
Smell of exhaust fumes and/or sulfur-type odors coming through air conditioning system under heavy acceleration, passing on highway, or when engine is under a load. fumes/smell get so bad that i have to roll down all windows and open sunroof to ventilate the passenger compartment. tolerated the headaches, nausea, and light-headedness while driving until situation became intolerable and had begun to avoid driving the explorer. first serviced in 10/2015, dealer had vehicle for 4 or 5 days. i was told that a tsb was performed which included removing the rear bumper and using sealant, but that did not correct the problem. fumes in passenger compartment persisted. on 9/26/2016 took vehicle back to dealer for further diagnostics and repair attempts for same problem. dealer had vehicle through 10/4/16, and called to tell me to come pick-up vehicle as it was "fixed" by cleaning a/c evaporator, and also "speaking with ford engineers". went for test drive with service manager. after approx. 4-5 miles on highway, under varying acceleration conditions, cabin began to smell like fumes again, coming through the a/c vents. then i began to feel light-headed and informed service manager of same. could not ventillate vehicle due to heavy rains, but taking a/c off of "recirculate air" helped only a little, and changed nature of odor slightly. dealership was using a meter to measure what was supposed to be carbon monoxide. was consistently told throughout that measurements were "low" at 900ppm to max 1500ppm. when driving with same meter, it alarmed multiple times, but i was told it was because meter responds to breathing in the car. i determined that meter was for carbon dioxide not carbon monoxide. returned vehicle to service, was told ford is having regional rep examine vehicle on 10/11/16. i have filed a lemon law complaint with bbb.
Strong smell of rotten eggs on heavy acceleration. if this occurs on heavy acceleration, then the carbon monoxide infiltration is constant, but since no odor associated with co, that is undetectable!
