I belong to a ford forum and they're has been some talk about an air deflector missing in the rear bottom of the vehicle between the mufflers part # 17788. they're are many claiming that they don't have it on they're st level explorer. please check on see this matter. rumor is that at high speed the wind can damage the rear bumper and rip it of the vehicle.
On a 400 mile road trip on a highway, we started feeling exhaust fumes in the inside cabin. felt nausea and watery eyes and had to stop couple of time to get a breath of fresh air. not sure what the issue was it disappeared after an hour. scary thing is i see some else also has reported the same issue. could be very hazardous having exhaust fumes coming in side the cabin.
The vehicle is randomly braking for no unknown reason. almost like if i was driving and put on emergency brake. it mostly does it while in reverse when there is literally nothing around me. there is an option and it has still does it with option off. it has nearly caused 1 accident when i was in my sons car pool line at school. otherwise it has caused extreme anxiety because i don't know when it will happen. the brake assist fault is also on, and dealer cannot find fix to that either. the dealer (capital ford raleigh) was aware of sensor issues, as well as faults the day i took delivery on vehicle. they knowingly sold it to us anyways. i took vehicle to service dept the very day after we took delivery. there is no fix for these dangerous issues, and i am forced to keep driving with my kids in this dangerous vehicle.
Have extremely strong exhaust fumes coming in the fresh air intake-making me and my passengers extremely sick-nauseus, really bad headaches, extremely sleepy, acid reflux and even have people ask half hour after leaving the vehicle if we've been standing next to an exhaust pipe!!!! one of these times, im not going to realise just how tired its making me-that i crash and kill myself or worse kill someone else or family!! serious issue ans ford claims......nothing wrong!! [xxx]!! this is a deadly flaw that needs to be dealt with right now!!! way stronger when idling, not as bad if you put the hvac on recirculate cabin air-but even that wont stay engaged for more than 15minutes!! that in itself tells me theres a flaw with the fresh air intake mode door solenoid!!! please help me and my family. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
