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.
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
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.
Going down hill at speed of 40km/h, then slow down for a red light stop, the gas rpm suddenly jumps to 3000rpm , even i stepped hard on the brake padel, that 3000rpm still existing and last for 5 seconds, then it back to normal of 900rpm.
I was merging to enter the highway when all the sudden i couldn't control the acceleration and almost got hit by another car. the car will not respond to the gas pedal like if it was in the neutral position. this keeps happening randomly especially when driving a lower speeds and once you try to accelerate the car wouldn't respond for a bit and then does it abruptly. i almost got into a second accident and it was when i took it to the dealership because i refuse to drive it. they have my car since almost two months now without solving the problem completely because it does not show up in the computer diagnostic and they don't even have a recall for it. this is a very dangerous problem and it should off been part of a recall long time ago.
Exhaust/rotten egg small inside and outside the car while it is running with heat on.
When i turn the heat on a horrible smell like rotten eggs comes in the vehicle. the odor is so strong it has caused headaches and has made me and family feel sick to our stomachs
Exhaust or gas smell in the cabin. especially noticeable after longer drives. so strong you can smell it in the house after parking in the garage. took it to a ford dealer and was told they couldn't find anything.
My car was completely totaled in an accident on 10/21/19. i received very serious multiple brain bleeds, facial lac, facial & head fx's & a severe tbi. my mom rec a concussion, facial lac concussion & a fx clavicle. we stopped at the stop sign & moved to the center between the 4 lanes & stopped again & we were hit by a large roll on roll off rock carrying dump truck in the middle of the lanes. the car was completely totaled & i was in a coma & airlifted to a trauma ctr approx 40 mins away, but i was in resp arrest & not expected to live. it is unknown exactly what caused the unsafe conditions, however i never cross straight across the traffic & we had been on a very very bumpy intersection the fri before the acc on monday & the car had not been driven since that 5 hr trip of extremely bumpy rough road conditions on interstate 95 coming through part of nc, all of sc & part of ga.
The exhaust fumes and carbon monoxide are present in the vehicle's cabin while driving. the car was serviced at the ford dealer twice for this problem. first time was after ford issued an official " customer satisfaction program" related to this issue. since i was constantly dealing with dizziness, nausea, and other symptoms consistent with carbon monoxide poisoning i took the car to the dealer again. i was told that the previous "repair" was not done properly and needed to be corrected. the "correction" did not help. the carbon monoxide meter i keep in the car frequently sounds the alarm and shows elevated levels of co. the highest level i have seen was 52 ppm before opening all widows. i have multiple video recording of the meter reading going up while driving. now i'm driving with windows opened and ac off to avoid getting sick. i contacted the dealer, they promised to contact ford for some suggestions. i made multiple attempts to follow up and every time i heard that ford did not answer yet.
Smell of sulfur or natural gas in the cabin, causing headaches and dizziness. the issue seems to be worsened if climate control fans are blowing. the issue occurs while driving or idling.
Carbon monoxide in car. i drive up to 8 hours a day fro my job. over the past several months i've experience dizziness and nausea thought out the day and recently learned of co issues with ford explorers. i purchased a co detector last week to test my car over the past 3 days the alarm has gone off indicating high levels of co in the cabin while the car was in motion and stopped. specifically, with the air conditioner on "auto" at approximately 3500rpm the detector registered co in the cabin, at 4500 rpm the level of co doubled.
Tires - all 4 hanook tires dot # 5mnc 1a h (0216) 255/50/r20 treads have been chipping and peeling up resulting in unsafe conditions and excessive wear. these tires are clearly problematic tires and completely worn out at 20,000 miles. manufacturer is aware if this resulting from new compounds (materials) used in manufacturing. high speed blowouts have been reported for this particular tire yet no recall has been issued for this tire despite its defects and safety concerns. i first noticed it on the two front tires. it is shocking that ford would use these tires.
My wife is the primary driver of the ford explorer we purchased in 2016 - and has been noticing issues with her health. digging into it we have come to find out about the the carbon monoxide issue within the ford explorer. i purchased a carbon monoxide detector and placed it in the vehicle. on saturday, june 1st, 2019 we drove one hour away from our house - and the carbon monoxide detector went off multiple times during the trip to an from. the one dangerous level we were experiencing was 90ppm, we instantly opened all the windows. the reading coincided with us both experiencing headaches before the detector went off. the irony is that based on he concerns i have read about with the ford explorer we were driving to a dealership to look at another car because of the carbon monoxide issues.
