2015 Ford Explorer Engine

I RECENTLY CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE ABOUT EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE 2015 FORD EXPLORER. THIS IS WHAT MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED. I HOPE THIS HELPS IN YOUR REVIEW IN A POTENTIAL RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE. IN AUGUST 2014 WE PURCHASED A NEW FORD EXPLORER 2015 XLT. CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES ON IT. WHEN EITHER OF US ACCELERATE TO ENTER A FREEWAY QUICKLY, OR DRIVE UP A HILL THERE IS A STRONGER ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE CAR. OF COURSE WE OPEN THE WINDOWS, BUT MY WIFE IS ASTHMATIC AND IT GREATLY AFFECTS HER BREATHING AND OTHER ASTHMA SYMPTOMS INCLUDING COUGHING, WHEEZING AND NEEDING TO USE A 'RESCUE' INHALER. THIS OCCURS DURING THE WINTER AS WELL AS WHEN THE AC IN ON. WE LOVE OUR BEAUTIFUL FORD EXPLORER AND ARE TROUBLED BY THIS PROBLEM, BUT BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS FAULT AND SHOULD JUSTIFY A RECALL.

UPON HARD ACCELERATION, SUCH AS TRYING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY OR GOING UP A HILL WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, EXHAUST FUMES ARE GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN. YOU CAN SMELL AN ODOR SIMILAR TO SULFUR OR LIKE SOMEONE STRUCK A KITCHEN MATCH. THIS IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE FRONT AND REAR AC UNITS ARE RUNNING. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THE TSB REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE VEHICLE BUT THE FUMES ARE STILL GETTING INTO THE CABIN. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER, I HAD ONE OF THE MECHANICS RIDE WITH ME WHILE I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE. HE NEVER WOULD SAY THAT HE SMELLED THE ODOR OF THE EXHAUST BUT IF I COULD SMELL IT, HE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE AS WELL. THE ODOR IS OFFENSIVE AND BOTHERSOME BUT THE CARBON MONOXIDE THAT IT CONTAINS IS POISONOUS. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE MANY POST TO VARIOUS WEBSITES POSTED BY OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

2015 FORD EXPLORER -- SMELLING EXHAUST ODORS INSIDE THE CAR WHEN ACCELERATING OVER 3,000RPM, USUALLY WHEN MERGING THRU INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS OR EXPRESSWAYS, DRIVING OVER 75MPH OR GOING UPHILL. IT HAPPENS WITH THE A/C MODE IN "RECIRCULATION" OR NOT. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW ON JULY 2014. I REPORTED THE ISSUE AT LEAST FOUR (4) TO SIX (6) WITH THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY ATTEMPTED WITH THE HELP OF FORD ENGINEERS TO FIX IT WITH INSTRUCTIONS FROM TSB 14-0130 BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP. ON TWO (2) SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THEY HAD TO GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR FOR TWO (2) WEEKS BECAUSE THEY WERE TROUBLESHOOTING AND ATTEMPTING TO FIX IT. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED A LETTER FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THEIR INTEREST IN PURCHASING THE CAR BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DEFECTS BUT I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, STALLED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,500.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD AN EXHAUST SMELL UNDER ACCELERATION SINCE NEW. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS IT STARTING GETTING REALLY BAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEGINNING OF AUGUST AND THEY COMPLETED THE TECH BULLETIN BUT WAS NOT FIXED SO I TOOK IT BACK. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WORKED ON IT FOR 3 DAYS WITH TECHNICAL SERVICE FROM FORD MOTOR HEADQUARTERS BUT COULD NOT FIX IT AND TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND GAVE ME BACK THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PICKER UP THE VEHICLE MY RECEIPT STATED "COULD NOT VERIFY PROBLEM", (THAT IS A MAJOR COVER-UP) BY THE DEALER FROM LIABILITY. I FILED COMPLAINT WITH FORD AND TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THEY VERIFIED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD IT TWICE MORE AND REPLACED THE EXHAUST AND RESEALED THE BODY SEAMS BUT THE SMELL IS STILL THERE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FORD BUT KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND AND TOLD I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THE DEALER TELLS ME THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO TRY AND FIX IT. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS IS A LEASE VEHICLE SO IT BELONGS TO FORD, THEY SHOULD JUST TAKE THEIR VEHICLE BACK AND RELEASE ME FROM MY LEASE SINCE THEY CANNOT FIX THEIR VEHICLE. FORD TELLS ME THAT THEY FILED THE PAPERWORK FOR THE LEMON LAW BUT I NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND AGAIN. I JUST PICKED IT UP SATURDAY AND THIS IS MONDAY AND FORD SAYS TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND FORD WILL CALL ME ON FRIDAY. I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK TO DEALER WHEN DEALER STATES THEY CANNOT FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO HARD ACCELERATE IN THE VEHICLE, EXHAUST FUMES ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND OTHER COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

I PURCHASED THE 2015 FORD EXPLORER IN LATE MARCH 2015. ALTHOUGH THE SMELL WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING IT WAS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. IT OCCURS WITH THE A/C OFF, WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED, AND UPON ACCELERATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BRANDON FORD FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHICH THEY HAD NO IDEA IT EVEN EXISTED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE EXHAUST/CARBON MONOXIDE FORD IS TELLING ME THEY HAVE A REPORT THAT A FIELD ENGINEER HAS DEEMED THE FUMES/POISON ENTERING THE CAB "A NORMAL OCCURRENCE" AND THEY WILL NO LONGER PUT IT IN SERVICE. *TR

MY 2015 FORD EXPLORER GIVES OFF EXHAUST GAS THAT ENTERS THE CABIN UNDER ACCELERATION TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAS MADE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR SICK AND VOMIT. THE PROBLEM STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AND AS OF TODAY THE DEALER CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE CENTER WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEY SAY THE CAR IS FIXED BUT STILL SMELLS. THE DEALER TELLS ME THEY HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH FORD AND STILL NO REMEDY. ITS ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO RUN OUT SO THEY CAN FORGET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY BROTHER HAS AN EXPLORER POLICE VEHICLE AND ON A RECENT TRIP WITH HIM IN HIS CAR HIS DID THE EXACT SAME THING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE, AN EXHAUST ODOR ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HVAC MODULE AND AIR EXTRACTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,200. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, EXHAUST FUMES WERE PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE OCCUPANTS TO BECOME DROWSY. WHILE USING A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR, THE READING INDICATED THAT THE CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS REACHED 60 PARTS PER MILLION. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT WAS OPERATED OR WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND THE EXTRACTOR, MOLDING, VALVE ASY AUTO DRAIN, POWER TAKE OFF ASY, AND THE TRANSFER CASE WERE REPLACED; BUT, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ..UPDATED 09/20/16 *BF..UPDATED 12/20/16 *BF *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THIS SMELL SOME SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. UPON HEAVY ACCELERATION (SUCH AS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY), THERE IS A VERY STRONG BURNING SMELL THAT TAKES OVER THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL SEEMS TO BE EXHAUST COMING INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED AN INCREASE IN "SLEEPY DRIVING", OR GETTING SLEEPY EVEN IF IT IS JUST ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. IN JULY 2016 I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE FIXED, HOWEVER, THE FIX DID NOT WORK. THIS MORNING I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MORE REPAIRS. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD, AND THESE FUMES COMING INTO THE VEHICLE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING, OR PROVIDE A MAJOR DISCOUNT TOWARDS A NEW VERSION THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS DEFECT. I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE I WANTED, AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. PLEASE MAKE FORD FIX THIS PROBLEM. 7 YEARS OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH FORD VEHICLES IS WAY TO LONG!!!

NO ENGINE ACCELERATION THE TRUCK FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN ENTERING HIGHWAY CA 92 WEST BOUND. THE TRUCK MAXIMUM SPEED WAS 20-25 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY EXTENDED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING YELLOW AND YOU COULD SMELL FUEL. THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING AND SHUTTERING.THE TRUCK WOULDN'T NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 25 MPH ONTO TO THE HIGHWAY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE ECO BOOST SYSTEM.

STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES ENTER CABIN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED HARD WHEN ENTERING FREEWAY AND AIR CONDITIONER IS ON AND SET AT RECIRCULATE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I ENTER THE FREEWAY AT END OF ENTRANCE RAMP. I AM FORCED TO OPEN THE WINDOWS WHILE DRIVING TO MAKE THE FUMES GO AWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN EXHAUST ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT EXHAUST FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR VENTS, WHICH NEEDED TO BE SEALED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE...UPDATED 10/04/16 *BF *CN

I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT FORD EXPLORER EXHAUST ODOR POTENTIAL CONCERNS SENT TO NHTSA. I OWN A 2015 FORD EXPLORER XLT WITH ABOUT 11,500 MILES. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE EXHAUST ODOR IN THE VEHICLE CABIN. IN BOTH INSTANCES THIS OCCURRED DURING NEAR WIDE-OPEN-THROTTLE ACCELERATION WHILE MERGING ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE ODOR IS AN EXHAUST ODOR WITH AN ADDITIONAL "ROTTEN EGG" ODOR CHARACTERISTIC WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF AN OVER-RICH FUEL CONDITION THAT LIKELY OCCURS AT WIDE-OPEN-THROTTLE. I HAVE NOT SMELLED THIS ODOR AT ANY OTHER TIMES, WHICH I SUSPECT IS BECAUSE I HARDLY EVER ACCELERATE SO INTENSELY. I HOPE THIS WILL BE A LITTLE HELPFUL IN YOUR REVIEW OF WHETHER THIS IS AN ISSUE OR NOT. I AM A HAPPY LIFETIME OWNER OF FORD VEHICLES AND I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, SO I AM NOT COMPLAINING,BUT WANTING TO HELP.

SINCE WE TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR 2015 FORD EXPLORER WE HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE WE HAVE EVER OWNED. THE SMELL FROM EXHAUST IS HORRIBLE. IN JUST OVER A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP WE HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS STILL AS BAD IF NOT WORSE THAN WHEN WE STARTED SMELLING IT. THEY TRIED EVERYTHING THAT FORD TOLD THEM TO DO AND THEN THEY (THE DEALERSHIP) TRIED FIXES ON THEIR OWN OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET AND THEY STILL CAN NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE SMELL EXHAUST FUMES FILL UP THE ENTIRE VEHICLE NOT ONLY ACCELERATING BUT DRIVING JUST NORMALLY SOMETIMES AND IT GETS SO BAD THAT WE HAVE HAD TO OPEN ALL THE WINDOWS AND EVEN PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND OPEN ALL THE DOORS JUST TO AIR OUT OUR VEHICLE. WE CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY ONE TIME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY EXHAUST PROBLEMS REGARDING THE 2015 FORD EXPLORER AND AS FAR AS THEY WERE CONCERNED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. IT IS ABOUT TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP IS ON OUR SIDE AS THEY HAVE SMELLED IT NUMEROUS TIMES THEMSELVES AND THEY STILL CAN NOT FIX IT DESPITE GOING OVER THE ENTIRE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES. WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND ALL WE WANT IS A SAFE VEHICLE AND FORD CAN NOT GIVE THAT TO US. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD OVER THIS WHOLE THING.

IN APRIL 2015, WE PURCHASED A 2015 FORD EXPLORER 3.5 LITER ECOBOOST V-6. FROM THE FIRST DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING HOME WITH OUR NEW CAR. WE HAD AN EXHAUST SMELL ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. EVERY TIME WE ACCELERATE TO GO UP HILLS OF NORTH EAST GEORGIA ENTERING THE INTERSTATE, OR PASSING CARS, WE SMELL EXHAUST FUMES AND HAVE TO ROLL DOWN OUR WINDOWS TO BE ABLE TO BREATH. WE HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER, A "SUPER STORE" , AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS ONLY THE NEW BURNING OFF THE ENGINE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE AND SPENDING THE EXTRA MONEY, THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY! THESE FUMES COULD CAUSE A HEALTH PROBLEM INTERNALLY. PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, EXHAUST FUMES ENTERED THE VEHICLE FROM THE VENTS. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

DURING MODERATE TO HEAVY ACCELERATION, SULFUR-LIKE EXHAUST FUMES ENTER THE CABIN THROUGH THE A/C VENTS CAUSING AN UNBEARABLE SMELL. TSBS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED, INCLUDING A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM, WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I AM CONVINCED IT IS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH A/C CONTROL UNIT AND THE 3.5L ENGINE. ECO-BOOSTS DO NOT PRODUCE THE SMELL. I EVEN ASKED A POLICE OFFICER ABOUT HIS UNIT, AND NO COMPLAINTS. THEY DRIVE ECO-BOOST ENGINES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VENTILATION CABINS NEEDED TO BE RESEALED AND THE VENTS NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THERE WAS A SMELL OF SULFUR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE SULFUR SMELL EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE VENTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC RESEALED THE CABINS AND CLEANED THE VENTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,600. UPDATED 11/09/15*LJ UPDATED VEHICLE DETAILS 4/13/18*JB THE CONSUMER STATED THE SULFUR SMELL THAT EMITTED FROM VEHICLE WAS CAUSED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE SMELL WAS MORE FAINT INSIDE BUT, NOT OUTSIDE AFTER REPAIRS WERE MADE ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN UPDATED 2/2/2016 *JS CONSUMER STATED THE SULFUR CAN STILL BE SMELLED INSIDE CABIN, BUT LS NOT AS STRONG. THE SULFUR SMELL IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND FORD HAS ONLY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO SEAL THE CABIN. THIS HAS MADE THE SMELL MORE FAINT INSIDE BUT NOT OUTSIDE. MY EXPLORER STILL STINKS! UPDATED 10/11/18*JB

EXHAUST SMELL ENTERS THE CABIN UPON MODERATE TO HARD ACCELERATION.

I NOTICED AN EXHAUST SMELL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING TO ENTER TRAFFIC. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST NEW CAR SMELL, BUT THIS SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES HAS CONTINUED SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN JULY 2015. I GET MY FIRST VEHICLE CHECK IN JANUARY 2016 AND NOW I'M CONCERNED. UPDATED 08/10/16.*JB THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A RESPONSE ON HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE ARE CONCERNING EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 03/27/2017 *JS

WHEN PERFORMING A HARD ACCELERATION ENTERING THE INTERSTATE OR QUICKLY MANEUVERING AROUND ANOTHER VEHICLE, THERE IS A STRANGE ODOR THAT COMES THROUGH THE VENTS. SMELLS LIKE EXHAUST. THIS BOTH WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE UP AND THE A/C IS ON OR IF WIDOWS ARE DOWN AND A/C TURNED OFF. THE SMELL LASTS A FEW SECONDS BEFORE GOING AWAY. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF THIS ON PERSONAL HEALTH. MY 2015 EXPLORER IS CURRENTLY AT FORD BEING CHECKED OUT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT. WAITING ON SOME KIND OF POSITIVE OUTCOME AT THIS POINT.

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 FORD EXPLORER. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SMELLING EXHAUST FUMES. CONCERNED THAT THIS WASN'T "NEW CAR BREAK-IN", I PURCHASED A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR WITH MEMORY. OVER A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF DRIVING THE DETECTOR REGISTERED 97 PPM AT PEAK. AFTER CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR
