Recently reported FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM problems on 2014 Ford Explorer

Vehicle has strong fuel smell inside cabin at startup but there are no engine codes to check. other year models of this vehicle have had a recall on the fuel system leaking, but not yet on this year model as far as i could find.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford explorer. while driving 60 mph, the contact noticed toxic fumes coming through the vents into the cabin of the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact called scarsdale ford (located at 887 central park ave, scarsdale, ny 10583, (914) 472-9500) and informed them of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 67,000.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford explorer. while driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled and the p1450 warning indicator illuminated. the contact pulled the vehicle off the road. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel system failed. the vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. the contact scheduled a diagnostic appointment with mcree ford (2800 gulf fwy, dickinson, tx 77539). the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. the failure mileage was 75,000.

When vehicle is stopped but running there is a gas smell that comes into the car but it does not happen all the time nor does it linger for very long after continuing to drive again.

My husband, son and myself were driving from high point nc to winston salem nc about 30 minutes drive, before arrive to our destination we have to stop almos in the middle of a road because we were feeling short of air almost unable to breath and feeling chest suppression and nausea our son give complain about the smell in the back seat but i was unable to feel it due to stuff nose. my husband had to drink two bottles of water and we got off the vehicle living all doors open, the odor was very strong. in may 15 2018 we took the vehicle to the dealer when we learned about the carbon monoxide recall they say they made the repair and today may 23 we almost crash. i thanks god we stopped and got off the car.

The smell of exhaust was overwhelming and finally a "fix" was generated. the fix is worse than the original problem. now there is an extremely strong smell of gasoline that floods the cabin of the vehicle. this occurs when in idle, when driving, when other cars are around or if i am the only car in the lot. often i notice when the heating system is on.

For about 8 months i have been suffering from dizziness spells that happen quite often, nausea , headaches, blurred vision, and anxiety that is brought on from these symptoms. i have been to the doctor countless times attempting to figure out the problem of the cause of my sickness. before i followed up on the recall i wasn't aware that my car was being recalled for carbon monoxide concerns. but it all makes sense the majority of time i feel these symptoms is either when i'm driving or have finished driving. (next dr's visit i will request they do lab work for potential carbon monoxide poisoning.) of course all the symptoms linger because obviously it stays in my system. i feel like my car is making me really sick. i am afraid to drive my car that i have had for 2 years.

Exhaust fumes in cabin when accelerating at higher speeds, especially when entering interstate and passing cars at higher speeds.

Ford explorer exhaust-leak. my 2014 ford explorer first exhibited a strong exhaust leak smells in the cabin about 18 months ago with approximately 18-20,000 miles. the smell was most noticeable after coming to a stop with the car at full operating temperature. around town it never seems to be present. i took it to loveland ford and they installed a "kit" which seemed to stop the problem, however it has recently come back stronger than ever. yesterday, i drove from denver up into the rockies and the problem was particularly bad on the return trip in stop and go traffic to the point i was feeling sick by the time i got home. i have had this before but the circumstances made this particularly unpleasant. so the circumstance when it most often exhibits the strong "rotten egg" smell mixed with exhaust is when the vehicle is at full temperature and comes to a stop.

My 2014 ford explorer has not been motified and has had strong exhaust inside the car confirmed by a ford dealer for the second time since june. the first repair made by ford to "plug" the problem made it worse. they are not testing for leaks or carbon monoxide. the are referencing this as an odor. given the risks how can it be ruled out if they are not testing for them? i am deeply concerned that ford's priority is to protect itself at the cost of our family and the people on the road. my vehicle has been doing this for sometime even while sitting in the driveway cooling down prior to any motion. i do believe we have directly been sickened by this and am installing a detector into our car and will be having blood work anytime it goes off. i have also contacted my doctor to see if there is anything on our labs to confirm the concerns. we were not made aware of the concern by ford or the fact they were aware of this since 2012. i have also had the back-up came reverse and everything located in the left of the car appeared ...
