I AM EXPERIENCING SOME TYPE OF UNUSUAL ODOR IN THE CABIN OF MY 2015 FORD EXPLORER VEHICLE USUALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS PUT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION LIKE CLIMBING A STEEP HILL OR ACCELERATING TO GET ONTO A HIGHWAY. THIS CABIN ODOR ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED YESTERDAY. I CURRENTLY HAVE 46,000 ON THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ACCELERATING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED AND I HAD TO PULL OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR SAFETY. I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR WITHOUT ISSUE TILL 1 WEEK LATER WHEN I WAS DOWNTOWN DRIVING HOME AT 1:00AM AND I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR ONE BLOCK IN ORDER TO GET TO A SAFE PLAY AND GET A TOW. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 1 MONTH WITH FORD SAYING ITS A NUMBER OF THINGS IT ISN'T. IT IS TILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ECOBOOST ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IN ITS OWN COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EVEN WORSE IF I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE (WHICH IS WHERE I WAS HEADED) THEY INITIALLY SAID IT WAS THE POWER TRAIN MODULE AND WE WAITED ON THE PART FOR 1 MONTH AND IT DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING. NOW THEY ARE STATING ITS THE TUBING FOR THE TURBO ENGINE (ECOBOOST) AND WE CONTINUE TO WAIT ON THE PART AND THE REPAIR. THIS EXPLORER HAS 34,000 AND IS A RED FORD EXPLORER ECOBOOST.

EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE A/C THERE IS A NASTY SMELL THAT COMES TO LIFE AND LINGERS FOR ABOUT 3 MINS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND THE SMELL HAPPENED RIGHT AWAY, I BRUSHED IT OFF AS NEW CAR SMELL BUT THIS IS THE 2ND SUMMER IN WHICH THE SMELL CONTINUES TO FILL THE AIR WHEN THE A/C IS ON. THIS ODOR SMELLS UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY KIDS. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO BUY A NEW FILTER FOR MY BRAND NEW CAR. THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT ASSIST IN THIS MATTER. WHY HASNT THERE BEEN A RECALL YET? IF FORD CAN CONFIRM THIS ODOR IS HARMLESS THEN PLEASE SEND THE A LETTER STATING SO. I HAVE ASKED FOR THIS AND THEY STATE THEY CANNOT PROVIDE AS SUCH. EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE A/C I AM BREATHING IN FUMES OF UNKNOWN SUBSTANCES. HOW LONG BEFORE THE ODORS ARE FOUND TO BE HARMFUL AND THE DAMAGE TO MY HEALTH AND MY CHILDRENS HEALTH IS COMPROMISED? PLEASE HELP MAKE FORD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 EXPLORER AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS, I STARTED SMELLING STRONG GAS ODOR WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT IN, THE DEALER COMPLETED A TOTAL EXHAUST REPAIR AND NOW THE SMELL IS WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO TELL ME THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS GETTING SICK FOR TWO MONTHS, HEADACHES,NAUSEA ETC. AFTER GOING TO THE DOCTOR, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY FROM MY VEHICLE. I CANNOT TURN THE FAN/AIR OR HEAT ON DUE TO THE SMELL SO IT IS KEPT OFF FOR MINE AND MY CHILD'S SAKE.

I OWN A 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WHEN I START THE VEHICLE IT HAS A FOUL ODOR THAT COME FROM THE AC. IT HAS A ROTTEN SMELL. I BOUGHT NUMEROUS AIR FRESHENER PRODUCTS TO HIDE THE ODOR BUT THE ODOR WAS VERY BAD. WHEN I AM DRIVING AND I ACCELERATE I CAN SMELL A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE AC. WHEN I AM STOPPED THE ROTTEN ODOR START TO COME OUT OF THE A/C. ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASION I HAVE GOTTEN LIGHT HEADED WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE AC ON AND THE WINDOWS CLOSED. I HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE AC OFF AND ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THEM CHECK ON THE ISSUED. A MANAGER CHECKED THE CAR AND HE STATED THAT HE DID SMELL THE ODOR. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUED THEY OFFERED TO SELL ME A NEW 2017 FORD EXPLORER. IF I GAVE THEM MY VEHICLE THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME NOTHING FOR IT I WOULD BE BASICALLY GET LIKE A 5 GRAND DISCOUNT ON A NEW VEHICLE AND THEY GET MY VEHICLE. I WOULD LOSE EVERYTHING THAT I PAID ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT THAT IS CAUSED BY THEM.

OUR FORD EXPLORER STARTED TO SMELL OF EXHAUST IN THE CAB. THIS SMELL IS EXTREMELY OVERWHELMING AND HAS CAUSED HEADACHES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP, THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE FILLS WITH EXHAUST FUMES. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, FREEWAY, OR CITY STREETS. WE TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS TO FIND MULTIPLE PLACES WHERE THERE WERE LEAKS. THE FORD MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES SEALED THESE LEAKS, BUT AFTER APPROXIMATELY A MONTH, THE EXHAUST FUMES HAVE STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE ATTACHED THE FORM GIVEN TO US BY THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT.

MY UNIT IS SUFFERING SINCE DAY ONE FROM THE EXHAUST ISSUE, ALMOST TEXTBOOK TO THE TYPICAL DESCRIPTION IN THE NEWS; UPON ACCELERATION WITH THE A/C ON, THE EXHAUST OF THE VEHICLE GET IN PRESUMABLY THROUGH THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH ARE THEN SUCKED INTO THE A/C BY IT'S SUCTION UNITS ON THE BACK AND YOU END UP SMELLING THE EXHAUST GASES FOR A WHILE. THE ISSUE IS SPECIALLY PRESENT WHILE THE DAY IS COLD (MORNINGS AND NIGHTS), ON CLIMBS (INCLINED UPWARDS ROADS) AND SPECIFICALLY UPON ACCELERATION; IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE THE A/C MAX BUTTON ON, THE ROAD TYPE HAS NO INFLUENCE AND ITS RELATIVE SPEED IS NOT A FACTOR BUT RATHER JUST ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT THREE TIMES TO THE DEALER, SPECIALLY AFTER I READ ABOUT THE ISSUE HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES AND THEY SAID WITH THE MODIFICATIONS THEY DID SHOULD BE CORRECTED (EXTENSION OF THE MUFFLER, RE-SEALING THE TRUNK DOOR, OTHER PROCEDURES), BUT IT DIDN'T!. NOW I'M PAYING FOR AN EXPENSIVE CAR WHICH HAS FOULS AND PROBABLY UNHEALTHY ODORS GETTING INTO THE CAR BY ITS OWN DESIGN AND HAVE NO RECALL OR REAL SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL OR DEMAND A REAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BY FORD. IF I WOULD HAVE THE TIME AND MONEY I WOULD HAVE FILED A LAWSUIT AS I FIND ALMOST A RACKET THAT YOU PAY FOR A VEHICLE WITH SUCH A BAD DESIGN FLAW AND NO REAL ACTION TO SOLVE IT FROM FORD. ALSO, IT IS NOT THE ONLY FLAW AS HAVE HAD TO REPAIR THE LINKS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) ALMOST ON EVERY OIL CHANGE VISIT, THREE TIMES ALREADY, AND THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES.

VEHICLE STARTED SMELLING OF ROTTEM EGGS OR DEAD RODENT AROUND 30,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2014. BROUGHT TO DEALER IN MARCH 2017 TO SEE IF THEY COULD EFFECT REPAIRS. DEALER CLEANED OUT FILTERS AND TRIED TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. UNABLE TO DO SO. SMELL PERSISTS WHENEVER VEHICLE IS CLOSED. SMELL IS SO PERVASIVE THAT ENTIRE GARAGE NOW SMELLS OF ROTTEN EGGS OR DEAD RODENT. RECENTLY PARKED AT AIRPORT PARKING FOR 4 DAYS. UPON RETURN SMELL IN CABIN WAS OVERPOWERING TO THE DEGREE THAT MY WIFE WAS EXTREMELY NAUSEATED. OPENING WINDOWS HELPED BUT DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. SMELL SEEMS TO BE COMING THROUGH VENTILATION/AC SYSTEM. AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED THAT ACTION TO REPAIR IS IS TAKING SO LONG. IN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE GETTING THE NECESSARY PRIORITY THAT IT DESERVES.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK (DOING ABOUT 45MPH WITH THE HEAT ON) AND INSTANTLY NOTICED WHAT SMELLED LIKE NATURAL GAS. I ROLLED MY WINDOWS DOWN TO SEE IF IT WAS OUTSIDE AND IT WASN'T. I THEN TURNED MY HEAT OFF AND THE SMELL LIGHTENED. WHEN I GOT HOME I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE. THE NEXT DAY ME AND MY DAUGHTER 12YRS OLD GOT IN THE EXPLORER TO GO SHOPPING. NOT 10 MINUTES INTO OUR DRIVE (DOING 25 MPH WITH THE HEAT ON) MY DAUGHTER FRANTICALLY SAYS "I SMELL GAS." I TURNED AROUND WENT HOME. I SAT IN THE VEHICLE TO RUN A DIAGNOSTICS REPORT AND STARTED FEELING SLIGHTLY LIGHT HEADED. SO I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND TOLD MY HUSBAND. THEN I BEGAN TO HAVE A HEADACHE OUT OF NOWHERE. I THEN CONTACTED A FORD DEALER (BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY WITH FORD) AND AS I EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING ON AND I MENTIONED THE ARTICLES I READ ABOUT THESE VEHICLES THE PERSON ON THE PHONE HAD NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN WHEN THEY HAD THEIR NEXT OPEN APPOINTMENT. SO I AM TAKING MY VEHICLE IN NEXT WEEK. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE HEAT ON AND THE SMELL WAS MINIMAL IN THE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND GOT OUT I SMELLED A VERY STRONG GAS LIKE SMELL COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE!
