Exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle cabin while driving. the driver and passengers are overcome by the fumes and forced to roll the windows down to clear the smell and avoid getting sick. this mostly occurs when the vehicle is accelerating and the heater is turned on.
My alarm will go off at random times when it's sitting in my driveway. my keys would be hanging up or on the kitchen table no we're near anyone an my alarm will just go off.
The apin (navigation/display) system on this vehicle constantly blanks out so you loose all saftey information. gps constantly goes off course meaning your driving down a road and it has you floating off to the side of the road half a mile away and 1/3 mile behind or ahead of your location. this causes numerous re-routes including those that might not be safe to conduct. the heads up display system constantly blanks out and resets loosing all saftey information, sometimes it stays blank a long time. ford had extended the warranty for apin system they know is faulty to 5 years i took my vehicle into service both under warranty i paid deductible for as well as in 2018 to have it repaired; they applied the same updates over and over and refused to replace the faulty apin system. ford now refuses to assist and i feel this is major saftey concern, not only does the product just not function properly but i feel are major saftey concerns when the displays all blank out and reset or do not come back on... this ...
Touch screen (back up camera, music, climate control, etc) sometimes does not turn on when turning on the vehicle. it continues to remain off, showing only the word 'ford'. eventually (after several minutes of driving) the screen turns black and then it turns on.
When suddenly accelerating to speed over 65 mph , exhaust gas/fumes enter the main cabin, and linger for sometime, until i open all windows to dissipate the fumes. this issue always occur during sudden acceleration. i have taken vehicle to dealer several times and they installed external seals but issue continues, even after the fixes.
During acceleration extremely strong smell of exhaust fumes can be detected by passengers seated in back and middle row of vehicle. during all other times lesser amounts of exhaust fumes are present within the vehicle. these fumes are strong enough to make occupants of the vehicle nauseous during long trips. even though ford has sent multiple notifications concerning this and indicating they will take small actions against this when we arrive at the ford dealership for repairs they deny any knowledge and refuse to repair the problem.
Fuel smell/fumes entering passenger cabin when ac/heat is on. sometimes at a stop or slow pace and windows are open fumes or smell is apparent. once parked you can smell from the front part of the vehicle in the hood near the wiper blades.

I keep getting drowsy on long drives. my eyes get irritated. i have finally purchases a co monitor that can download data. the spike of 61 ppm occurred when i was accelerating to go over bath mountain headed east on 17 feb. the audible alarm went off so i knew i had a problem. the alarm goes off at 50ppm. i have complained to ford over 20 times, all they do is make changes to the exhaust in the rear. they refuse to acknowledge there is an exhaust leak that is entering the cabin in the front of the vehicle!
Exhaust smell in vehicle
In june of 2015 ford issued a tsb 15-0113 about a defect with the second row inflatable seat belt system that would exhibit an airbag warning light. this condition renders all airbags inoperable, not just the seat that is effected. on 12/29/2018 i took said vehicle in for service because of the airbag indicator light on the dash. a $54 part was installed at a labor cost of $650 to fix the problem. if you note figure 1 of the tsb the wire harness wraps around a seat support and the fix shown in figure 2 of the same tsb eliminates that wrap that which causes the wire to get pinched and severed. tsb 16-0001 was issued in january 2016 superseding the previous tsb. passenger safety is extremely critical and i'm wondering why your organization did not get involved, as passenger safety is one of your major concerns or ford was not required to address this issue up front, quickly and eliminate a potential safety hazard? my vehicle was at the ford dealer for service on the following dates;april 2015, december 2016, august 2016, february 2017 and not one time did any service tech look under the rear ...
