Recently reported FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM problems on 2013 Ford Explorer

I have received carbon monoxide poisoning from driving my 2013 ford explorer. i also have had the front end looked at and repaired had to pay most of the costs (extended warranty paid for some) for the front end popping sounds while turning. the sound is still there and on both sides now. so money wasted towards ford!! the vehicle isnt drivable at this point and that leaves me without a vehicle.

My car is leaking fuel under the hood of the vehicle - so much fuel that it has soaked the cover on the engine block and the cover across the top of the interior of the hood. it is actually dripping down when i lift the hood. it is so strong on the interior of the vehicle that i can taste it in my mouth/lungs when i sat in the vehicle.

Since i've had this vehicle it jerks back and clicks as the transmission switches gear. normally between 3 and 4th gear it seems. more importantly its overheating and leaking coolant! same issue as fusions and other suv ford offers. this seems to me like a fire hazard that should be recalled in all fords. it leaks when parked. and overheats if the ac is in use. the leak was out of nowhere and suddenly. the fuel sensor is also weak. *tt*jb

Vehicle experiencing intermittent engine shut off under all driving conditons which exhibits a serious and dangerous situation when the vehicle abrubtly loses total power while driving. this has recently been an issue in the past two weeks while my wife and kids were driving on the freeway at 70 mph in traffic. vehicle started back up once the ignition was turned completely off and waited a few minutes to start the vehicle back up. this scenario occurred on the freeway, in town driving and while stopped at traffic light. contacted local ford dealership and all they said was to bring it in. i had a mechanic check it out and he was unable to retrieve any engine codes while running an ecu scan. there are several complaints noted online with other ford explorer owners who have attributed it to a "terrain management" fault. this is the same diagnosis my local mechanic came up with. this results in the engine control module to receive a throttle position in the wide open indication causing the vehicle to shut off. the vehicle is currently being operated in oahu, hawaii. i am currently deployed to the middle east so i am very ...

Pursuant to nhtsa investigation # ea 17-002 opened on 7/27/17, i am experiencing the periodic exhaust odors in my vehicle detailed in that report. all relevant recalls have been performed, which have not fixed the problem.

I attempted to slow the vehicle, preparing to stop. i was traveling between 65/70 mph. when pressing on the breaks the vehicle did not slow down. i pumped the breaks. the cars in front of me where at a stop and getting closer very quickly. i pushed as hard as i could on the break and then tried to push on the emergency break located on the floor. it only kicked back. seconds later i had a direct impact with the vehicle in front of me. airbag deployed! there are no skid marks on the road! the vehicle would not stop!!!

Carbon monoxide odor has been getting worse. every time i drive i begin to feel nauseous and get a headache. i have 2 boys, my 11 year old agrees it's a strong odor and he begins to feel dizzy. i fear to even have my children especially my 1 year old in this vehicle anymore and they were the reason i purchased it. i've had my vehicle in a certified ford dealership twice now since i purchased a few months ago has ever mentioned this issue! this needs to be recalled and repaired! does someone need to be hospitalized or die before something is done. i finally looked online to see if this was a common issue and of course it is! please fix this, an investigation over a year now and nothing has happened. you have a reputation to uphold.
