My vehicle will not start. it went to the dealer at new south ford in meridian ms and was there for over a month and it started at the dealer and when i came home we turn it off. the next morning, it started again but when i turned it off when i went to an appointment and came back a few hours later it would not start. the same thing it was doing before i took it to the ford service place. they replaced the battery, another electronic device and wanted to replace the main electronic control device i believe but we were not going to put out more money for a "i feel really good about this part". the guy stated it would start and run but it would run bad. it started but after you turn the car off it will not start up again as of it's in a security mode of some sort. the accessories will come on, the car will just not start. my wife and i have a very sickly 3 year old child with leukemia cancer, down syndrome, bleeding disorder, ostomy bag, heart surgery done and doctors who have up one him ...

Since october 2019 i have had my car in 4 auto shops for a propane smell,, so strong it would make you feel sick driving. the 4th auto shop said it was the turbos leaking. we changed those. now the smell is less but you can not sit in idle because it gets very strong. mind you this car was a 1 owner before me, and i bought it used from a dealer june 2019. drove only 4 months and now 4 months of not being able to drive it but have to make payments anyway. im at a loss! how can ford not handle this? really, cops have even gotten in accidents. i can't just drive it risking our health or lives. i really hope they recall the whole vehicle, it's not right to risk everyone's lives.
On march 16, 2018 i responded to liccardi ford of watchung nj to transition my leased 2015 ford explorer xlt to a purchase. with full knowledge that the vehicle was being used for uber rideshare, the dealership finance manager sold me a secure-net (houston tx) extended warranty for $2,723 knowing that the coverage and contract would be voided if the vehicle is used for rideshare. attempts to cancel the policy with a full refund has been made impossible due to neither secure-net nor the dealership canceling the policy and providing a refund. it would appear that ford dealerships (and others) are selling these policies to unwary vehicle consumers and even rideshare operators without telling them that use f their vehicle for rideshare will void their extended warranty coverage. any and all secure-net extended vehicle warranty policies sold in america should be investigated and/or recalled before vehicle owners find that their purchased policy will not cover or pay for any mechanical issue. liccardi ford did not tell me that the secure-net extended warranty would not cover my rideshare use of the vehicle and secure-net denied my claim of complete engine failure due to a design flaw in ford vehicles where the ...
During acceleration with the air conditioner running, there is a smell of rotten eggs in the cabin. when it happens myself and others in the car will experience light headedness and headaches. additionally, my partner experienced the headache and vomited on the side of the road due to the smell. it smells like exhaust fumes and rotten eggs, which is clearly from the exhaust. the fact that there hasn't been a recall regarding this issue is criminal.
The past two days i've become incredibly dizzy, nauseous and a very dull headache. i noticed i felt fine when i woke but during my commute i really started feeling ill and had a hard time with my eyes when i tried to focus on the bumper sticker on the car in front of me. i had very bad vertigo, which hasn't ever affected me prior to these past two days. my husband recalled reading a news story and when i looked it up- sure enough a recall has been issued for carbon monoxide issues.

On 6/6/19 vehicle lost engine throttle power when "wrench" light indicator appeared on dashboard while driving on interstate (at least 65mph). wrench noted terrain management system error. engine did not shut off. vibrated very badly when coming to stop. happened again on 6/12 on city street driving approx 35mph. both times stopped vehicle, turned off, and restarted and operated normally. ford dealerships cannot determine problem because there computer systems cannot see error code(s) in diagnostics.. additionally, ford motor company will not respond until "error code" identified by ford service dealership. read online and youtube exact issues but not discussion on resolution(s). see url address for example of issue that occurred with our vehicle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asrdplp4_qe&t=1s. very dangerous to lose power on highway and little control of vehicle. believe this is a systemic issue with ford explorers
