2015 Ford Explorer UNKNOWN OR OTHER

EXHAUST SMELL WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES. THE CABIN SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN STOPPED, HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING THE SHIFT IN PARK. SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL TRYS OF MOVING THE SHIFT INTO PARK BEFORE THE RED LIGHT GOES ON SO I CAN TURN IT OFF.

WINDSHIELD SEALS HAVE COME UN-AFFIXED. PROBLEM DISCOVERED WHILE DRIVING. AFTER REACHING SPEED OF 45MPH LOUD SOUNDS LIKE FOLLOWING A DUMP TRUCK DISPERSING ROCKS. SOUNDS INCREASED IN VOLUME AND INTENSITY BUT NOT VISIBLE WHILE DRIVING. LONG BLACK FRAME COVER ALSO LOOSE.

WINDSHIELD TRIM ON FORD EXPLORER FLEW OFF ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING 70MPH.

AT 53,000 MILES I NOTICED THE RUBBER TRIM AROUND WINDOWS AND DOORS WAS STARTING TO DEGRADE AND DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO GRAPEVINE FORD IN GRAPEVINE, TX. THEY SAID THAT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

ONE DAY MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING AND WE NOTICED A SULFUR/EXHAUST SMELL COMING IN THE CABIN. THE SMELL CAME AND WENT. I HAD A LOCAL DEALER PERFORM A RECALL TO FIX PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. AS SOON AS WE GOT THE VEHICLE BACK WE NOTICED THE SMELL AGAIN. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP.THEY RECHECKED ALL THE VENTS AND SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE. COUPLE DAYS LATER MY WIFE AND I ALONG WITH OUR 2 KIDS IN THE VEHICLE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE SMELL WAS SO BAD IT WAS BURNING OUR EYES.HAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED AND HAVENT DROVE IT SINCE

WHEN IDLING OR DRIVING SLOW THROUGH TOWN A STRONG SURFER/ROTTEN EGG SMELL FILLS THE CABIN OF VEHICLE HAS GIVEN MY GIRLFRIEND AND I BOTH EXTREME HEADACHES AND NAUSEA AND MADE HER 11 YR OLD DAUGHTER THROW UP ALONG WITH A HEADACHE SHORTLY AFTER AS WELL. WASN'T AS BAD WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE

, MONOXIDE GAS IN MY TRUCK. PLEASE ADVISE

WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON, YOU BEGIN TO SMELL A 'ROTTEN' SMELL, WHICH HAS BEEN DETERMINED AS THE EXHAUSTED. WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT CONTINUES TO SMELL OF EXHAUST TO THE POINT IT WILL CAUSE NAUSEA. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF THE SMELL WILL SUBSIDED.

CARBON MONOXIDE COMING INTO VEHICLE. FORD SAYS IT'S NOT DANGEROUS AND THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS. BOUGHT A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR AND IT WENT OFF IN VEHICLE. CHILD NAUSEAUS. OWNER NAUSEAUS A FEW TIMES AND EXTREMELY SLEEPY . TIREDNESS AND NAUSEA WENT AWAY SHORTLY AFTER GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE. DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS RELATED UNTIL I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER PARTS FOR A SAFETY CONCERN.

EXHAUST FUMES COMING INTO THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND UPON ACCELERATION. THIS IS AN ONGOING/ EVERYDAY PROBLEM

I NOTICED SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, IN ME WHEN I DROVE MY 2015 FORD EXPLORER SPORT, I COMPLAINED WHEN I TOOK MY 2015 FORD EXPLORER SPORT, BACK SEVERAL TIMES, TO RICH FORD SERVICE, SINCE THE DELIVERY OF MY FORD EXPLORER SPORT FROM, MONDAY MAY 7, 2018 AND AGAIN I RETURNED MY 2015 FORD EXPLORER SPORT BACK TO RICH FORD MAY 2018 I COMPLAINED TO MR. TIM SLOAN ABOUT THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, MR. TIM SLOAN CALLED ME AROUND 12:00 WEDNESDAY MAY 9, 2018 THAT THE 2015 FORD EXPLORER SPORT IS READY FOR PICK UP, TIM SLOAN SAID THAT (RICH FORD SERVICE DROVE IT AROUND FOR 40 MILES, AND RICH FORD SERVICE PERSONS, COULD NOT SMELL THE 'CO' PROBLEM) I INFORMED TIM THAT 'CO' IS CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING 'CO' 'SILENT KILLER.' IS ACTUALLY ODORLESS, COLORLESS, TASTELESS, AND IT CANNOT BE NOTICED WITHOUT A 'CO' DETECTOR OR 'CO' METER,

STRONG EXCESSIVE FUEL EXHAUST/FUMES IN CABIN OF CAR, ESPECIALLY NOTICED WHEN ACCELERATING LIKE GETTING ONTO THE INTERSTATE WITH AIR CONDITION ON.

MY WIFE AND I ARE GETTING DIZZY AND MY WIFE IS GETTING SEVERE HEADACHES. WE BOTH NOTICE A STRONG NATURAL GAS SMELL IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING TODAY (06-02-18) I SMELLED IT FIRST AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HER. ABOUT 30 MILES LATER SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE SMELLS GAS. IF THIS CONTINUES WE WILL GO TO THE ER AT OUR HOSPITAL TO GET CHECKED FOR CARBON MONOXIDE. WE WILL ALSO CONTACT THE DEALER ON MONDAY. WE JUST GOT BACK FROM FLORIDA IN WHICH WE DROVE A TOTAL OF 2700 MILES. THE VACATION WAS FROM 05-19 THRU 05-28-2018. IT HEADACHES/DIZZINESS STARTED ABOUT 2 DAYS BEFORE OUR TRIP.

STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE OF VEHICLE UPON ACCELERATION. ELEVATED LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE (TESTED WITH METER) DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE. I MUST OPEN WINDOWS INSIDE OF VEHICLE FREQUENTLY TO VENT THE EXHAUST FUMES, AND TO TRY TO DECREASE CO LEVELS IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF OWNERSHIP, AUGUST 8, 2016. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE AS OF TODAY, JANUARY 30, 2018.

EXHAUST FUMES IN CABIN UPON ACCELERATION

SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014, WE ARE GETTING EXHAUST IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, SPECIFICALLY, ON LONGER TRIPS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE FASTER AND FURTHER WE DRIVE, THE WORSE IT IS. WE TRAVEL FROM SC TO PA (10-12 HOURS) AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR, AND HAVE NOTICED A STRONG ODOR IN THE CAR THAT SMELLS LIKE THE EXHAUST PIPE IS FEEDING THE EXHAUST BACK INTO THE CAR. DURING OUR DAY-TO-DAY COMMUTES TO WORK/SCHOOL/HOME, WE DO NOT NOTICE IT. WE HAVE THREE KIDS..THIS CAN'T HAPPEN! I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF OUR FORD DEALERSHIP WHEN WE TAKE IT FOR OIL CHANGES AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND AT ONE TIME THIS SUMMER (SUMMER 2017) THE TECH CHECKED THE VIN AND SAID, NOPE, YOURS ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. WE'LL LOOK INTO IT, BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.

ODOR IN CABIN HAPPENS UNDER VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS MY WIFE HAS AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THIS ODOR. HER THROAT STARTS TO CLOSE UP AND IT RESTRICTS HER AIRWAY. SHE HAS TO ROLL DOWN WINDOWS AT THE FIRST SIGN OF ODOR TO LIMIT THESE AFFECTS. THIS ALL STARTED IN JULY 2017 AND FIRST REPORTED TO THE DEALER ON JULY 6,2017. FORD HAS MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT TRIP FOR REPAIRS RESULTED IN THE DEALERSHIP BEING ADVISED BY FORD'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL TO RELEASE VEHICLE TO CUSTOMER WITH NO REPAIRS. WITHOUT BEING REDUNDANT I HAVE ATTACHED A LETTER TO OGC SUBSEQUENT TO THEIR RELEASING THE UNREPAIRED VEHICLE TO US. TO DATE WE HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE AND/OR ANY DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH FORD'S OGC.

EXHAUST ODORS IN VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING WITH HEAT OR A.C. ON CAUSING BREATHING DISCOMFORT AND EYE IRRITATION.

I JUST READ A USA TODAY ARTICLE CONCERNING THE FORD EXPLORER AND CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. AS I READ IT, I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THIS IS WHAT SICKENED MY FAMILY DURING OUR VACATION LAST SUMMER. THIS HAPPENED OVER OUR EXTENDED TRAVEL FROM FORT RILEY, KS TO LAS VEGAS, NV. MY OLDER SON COMPLAINED OF HEADACHES AND VOMITED SEVERAL TIMES. WE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIM AT THE TIME.

I KEEP SMELLING EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE NOTICED A STRANGE ODOR IN THE CABIN, SEEMED WORSE ON ACCELERATION AND WHEN WINDOWS CLOSED. THOUGHT HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK. I WORK IN A SERVICE SHOP SO I INSPECTED FOR EXHAUST LEAKS BEFORE TAKING TO DEALER AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY. DID NOTICE A SEAL LEAKING ON THE EXHAUST AND HAD THE DEALER REPAIR THAT UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR THE WARRANTY REPAIR I DID MENTION TO THEM THE SMELL. I WAS TOLD THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT NOTICE ANY SMELL AFTER THE SEAL WAS REPLACED. INTERMITTANTLY WE ARE STILL GET THE "EXHAUST" SMELL IN THE CABIN. OCCASIONALLY I WILL ALSO GET NAUSEATED AFTER AWHILE ESPECIALLY IF SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

EXHAUST LEAKING INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT ON ACCELERATION.

THERE IS A REPORTED ISSUE ABOUT AN EXHAUST LEAK INSIDE CABIN FOR FORD EXPLORER 2011+ AND I FOUND A SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE. I TRIED TO REPORT THIS TO FORD BUT THERE IS NO LUCK, AND FORD IGNORED ME. THE ISSUE IS NOT FROM THE BACK DOOR OR BACK OF THE VEHICLE, IT'S ACTUALLY FROM THE FRONT. THERE IS TWO ISSUES ACTUALLY WHO CAUSING THIS, ONE IS THE HOOD RUBBER THAT LOCATED NEAR TO FRESH AIR INTAKE, I FILLED A SILICON ALL OVER UNDERNEATH THE RUBBER AND THE ISSUE ALMOST GONE 92%, A ALSO COVERED THE FRESH AIR INTAKE WITH DUCT TAPE AND IT'S COMPLETELY GONE, BUT THE DUCT TAPE IS NOT THE SOLUTION. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THERE IS A LEAK FROM THE ENGINE SIDE WHICH CAUSING THE EXHAUST TO FILL THE ENGINE BAY AND THE SMELL FINDS A WAY TO LEAK INSIDE CABIN THROUGH FRESH AIR INTAKE FROM THE FRONT. SINCE A ALOT OF FORD EXPLORERS HAS BEEN REPORTED THEY HAVE A CRACKED MANIFOLD THIS EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENING. AND FORD IS STILL LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE TO FIX THIS ISSUE I MADE THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE TO EXPLAIN. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TJOKERZ0RZC
