For a few months when i would accelerate from a red light or sitting still the smell of rotten eggs would come into my vehicle. with me having kids i figured it was just them passing gas, however repeatedly it started happening & if the a/c or heater was on it was worse. i took it to world ford in pensacola on tuesday 02/04/2020, they did not get to it until 02/05/2020 and they informed me that they had a diagnosis & the way my vehicle was designed the aerodynamics were allowing the exhaust fumes to enter the cabin. i am absolutely upset at this being as though not only myself, but my kids, other passengers, and their kids have been exposed to carbon monoxide in a closed in area. ford makes it sound acceptable by saying it's covered under warranty however a manufacturer default needs to be recalled and fixed immediately, this problem could have been fatal to myself, my family, and my friends.
I have had the car in to the dealer twice now for carbon monoxide entering the passenger compartment. i have had a carbon monoxide detector that i purchased from a retailer that shows elevated levels above 60 parts per million within the passenger compartment my family has been experiencing neurological symptoms related to the co exposure
When climbing hills and engine at high rpm i can smell exhaust in the cabin portion of my vehicle. i initially thought it was the vehicle in front of me, but it happened again a few days later when i was traveling through the hills again. same circumstances, climbing hills at a high rpm. speed was approximately 65 mph. the smell was exactly the same as if i was walking behind the car in the morning after staring the engine.
Exhaust fumes entering the cabin of vehicle near middle and rear seats.while driving down highway at 70mph passengers turned on air for the back and an odd smell was noticed. air was turned off at the back. once at location ready to park smell began to get worse. very noticeable inside and outside. odor clung to skin. possibly co leak.
I never received a recall in the mail. vehicle was purchased in june 2019 but the recall ended in august 2019 and i would like to have this repaired
Complained of faulty power steering error message coming on when starting vehicle for 1.5 years to ford dealership with no exact response regarding the issue. they said they reset the system and it should work fine afterwards. the next day i still had the issue. i then complained again about it but it was in the shop for numerous issues and that was overlooked/ignored. my power steering has now gone out completely and the recalls for the power steering ended for explorers manufactured after feb. 2012 and mine was manufactured in dec. 2012. i asked if the dealership was required to report issues when customers bring their vehicle in to the shop and they said no. they are only reqiured to report them when they repair it or do work to it, not just assess that there is an issue. lesson learned, always report your issues here. my power steering could have gone out while driving but thank god it didn't. it went out as i was paying a bill and had turned my car off for less than 2 minutes. therefore, the vehicle was stationary. it is incredibly frustrating that they want me to pay for something that is ...
Back up camera doesn't work especially not in cold. i can just start the vehicle and the camera won't work once but it has now become an all day thing
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.
Strong smell of natural gas or exhaust entering the cabin. seems to be coming in through the air vents. as that's where the smell is the most intense. it also gets worse when the car is stationary. but it is noticeable throughout the whole drive. at this point even after only two days it's almost unbearable to drive and the whole cabin is stained with the smell.
Constant smells of carbon monoxide in my vehicle almost every time i accelerate above 3500 rpm. i've taken it to two dealerships more than three times for the same problem with no solution. every time i get in my vehicle i dread smelling this stuff and hope it doesn't affect me or a loved one.
