2016 Ford Explorer complaints

WHEN I PLACE MY EXPLORER IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARK, WHEN I AM ABOUT HALF WAY OUT OF THE PARK, THERE'S A LOUD "BUMP". I AUTOMATICALLY SLAM ON BRAKES BECAUSE I THINK I HAVE RAN OVER SOMEONE. RECENTLY, I PLACED MY EXPLORER IN DRIVE SO THAT I COULD PULL OUT OF THE GARAGE AND I HEARD THE LOUD "BUMP". I HAVE TAKEN MY EXPLORER TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED FORD AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS. FORD FINALLY OFFERED A 100K MILE WARRANTY BUT THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

OUR FORD EXPLORER HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT ENTERS THROUGH THE DASH VENTS WHEN DRIVING, OR WHEN PARKED WITH MOTOR RUNNING. WHEN I PARK IN GARAGE. I HAVE TO OPEN BACK AND FRONT GARAGE DOORS TO ALLOW AIR TO "CLEAR " IR FROM GARAGE, SO IT DOES NOT ENTER HOME. OUR FORD DEALER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL.

I PASSED OUT WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER DOWN THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WENT OFF THE ROADWAY AND DOWN THE EMBANKMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE IS NOW A FORD RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, ISSUED TODAY, 10/26/2017 (FORD RECALL: 17N03) FOR CARBON MONOXIDE CONCERNS. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR MONTHS AND NOT ISSUED A RECALL UNTIL MANY MONTHS LATER. AT THE TIME OF MY COLLISION, THE COUNTY I LIVE IN WAS IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND I WENT TO THE 1 OPEN HOSPITAL. DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND NOT THINKING THAT CARBON MONOXIDE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE INCIDENT, I DID NOT GET BLOOD WORK DONE TO CONFIRM IF I HAD BEEN POISONED BY CARBON MONOXIDE.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR WAS ACTIVATED WHILE DRIVING OUR 2016 FORD EXPLORER.

BURNING HAIR SMELL IN CABIN OF VEHICLE. NOTICE IT DURING BREAK IN INFORMED SERVICE ADVISER OF SMELL WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE FIRST SERVICE. TAKEN BACK SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS WITCH RESULTS IN THE ODOR BEING WORST NOW THAN FIRST NOTICED. FORD HAS REPLACED THE AIR VENT LOCATED BETWEEN THE HOOD AND THE WINDSHIELD. THEY HAVE REPLACED BODY PANELS AND SEALED OPENING IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE LAST REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM. DURING A TRIP TO FLORIDA AFTER THE EXHAUST REPLACEMENT WE WERE ABOUT 100 MILES FROM HOME DRIVING 70+ MPH ON I-10. WHEN MY WIFE COMPLAINED OF HER HEART POUNDING, FEELING NAUSEOUS AND PASSED OUT FOR A MOMENT. I NOTICED THAT I HAD A HEADACHE ALSO AND I IMMEDIATELY ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES MY WIFE FELT BETTER SO I DID NOT CONTINUE TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL AS SHE HAD ASKED. WE DROVE WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN FOR THE REST OF OUR 525 MILE TRIP AND DROVE HOME WITH THEM DOWN FOR ANOTHER 525 MILE. SINCE RETURNING I HAVE WRITTEN A SECOND LETTER TO FORD EXPLAINING OUR COMPLAINT. NEED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. MY WIFE HAS HEART ISSUES, TAKES BLOOD THINNERS AND MAY HAVE BEEN MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE CARBON-MONOXIDE THAN I. SHE IS SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE VERY MUCH AND WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE WE COULD NOT SELL THIS ONE WITH IT'S PROBLEMS.

THE TAILPIPE OCCASIONALLY EMITS BLUE-GRAY SMOKE, AS IF IT IS BURNING OIL. I HAVE WITNESSED THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OCCASIONALLY SMELLS LIKE SMOKE. THE PASSENGERS IN THE REAR OF THE CAR TEND TO NOTICE IT FIRST, AND THEN THE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT CAN SMELL IT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATING AT A HIGH RATE, SUCH AS WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM AN ON-RAMP.

PURCHASED NEW VEHICLE 2/2016 AND HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES DUE TO ENGINE/EXHAUST SMELL ON HEAVY ACCELERATION COMING IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. SERVICE INVOICES ARE ATTACHED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 1 THAT WAS DONE 3/2017 AND NO PAPERWORK WAS GIVEN TO ME ON THAT VISIT.

WAS TRAVELING DOWN A CITY SURFACE STREET WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE TRIED TO BEAT ME TO GETTING ONTO THE SAME STREET I WAS TRAVELING ON MADE A SUDDEN TURN BEFORE I COULD GET TO HIS LOCATION. UPON TRYING TO MANEUVER AND AVOID A COLLISION THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DID NOT RESPOND TO THE MANEUVER AND INSTEAD VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO A RESIDENCE. STEERING FAILED TO FUNCTION AS INTENDED, ABS SYSTEM ALSO FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE FIRST TIME I GOT INTO A WRECK LIKE THIS WITH THIS VEHICLE. MAKING A SUDDEN TURN IN THIS VEHICLE WILL LIKELY SUFFER SOME SORT OF ACCIDENT, VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND LIKE IT SHOULD WITH ALL THEM ELECTRICAL SAFETY FEATURES.

WE HAVE NOTICED A FOUL SMELL IN OUR FORD EX SINCE WE PURCHASED IT WITH NO EXPLANATION REGARDING THE CAUSE. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE CARBON MONOXIDE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD REGARDING THIS PROBLEM THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE OR ANY RESOLUTION REGARDING FIXING THE PROBLEM.

STRONG EMISSIONS SMELL THAT IS CAUSING DIZZINESS AND MAJOR HEADACHES WHEN WE DRIVE IT.

FUMES IN CABIN ON HIGHWAY AND CITY ! NEED TO ROW WINDOWS DOWN TO GET THE FUMES OUT! HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE NEW 10/30/2015

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED AND MADE THE STEERING WHEEL VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE "AUTO STEERING SYSTEM FAULTY, HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE, SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK, AND TORRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAULT" WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CURRIE FORD IN VALPERASO, IN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I AM DISCOVERING EVERY I DRIVE MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER I AM GETTING HEADACHES. MY WIFE DROVE AND SHE BEGIN TO HAVE TERRIBLE HEADACHES. WHEN MY CHILDREN RODE WITH ME THEY FELT NAUSEATED.

YOU CAN SMELL EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. IT USUALLY HAPPENS UPON ACCELERATION DURING HIGHWAY OR CITY DRIVING. MY WIFE SAYS SHE HAS SMELLED IT BEFORE BUT WHILE OUR WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR RECENTLY, IT WAS UNBEARABLE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN I DISCOVERED IT, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE.

ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT YET RECD. ANY LETTERS FROM FORD ON REPAIRING MY EXPLORER, MY SON OFTEN COMPLAINTS OF UNEASINESS AND NAUSEA WHEN SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR. I DON'T PARTICULARLY NOTICE ANY SMELL BUT I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE OTHER NEWS AROUND FUMES AND CO ENTERING THE CABIN. THIS HAPPENS SPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING AND A/C IS ON WITH A/C WINDOWS CLOSED. I NOTICED THIS ONLY DURING OUR SUMMER BREAK THIS TIME WHEN MY SON SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE CAR AS OPPOSED TO SCHOOL NIGHTS.

SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE OCCUPANT CABIN OF VEHICLE. OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS UNDER ACCELERATION WITH AIR CONDITION RUNNING (WARM WEATHER). SMELL IS QUITE STRONG, CONCERNED OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I'VE TAKEN THIS UP TO THE FORD DEALER - THEY'VE SAID FORD IS SENDING LETTER ANNOUNCING THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. DOCUMENTING COMPLAINT WITH NTSB AS THIS SHOULD LEAD TO RECALL, NOT JUST VOLUNTARY FIX.

EXHAUST SMELL ENTERS THE CABIN WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON. THIS GETS WORSE WHEN GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE, PASSING OTHER VEHICLES, OR GOING UP HILLS. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE WE BOUGHT EXPLORER BRAND NEW IN SUMMER 2016. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SINCE THEN AND EACH TIME I ASK THEM WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND IF THEY CAN LOOK INTO IT. THEIR RESPONSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT NOTHING IS WRONG AND THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. I HAVE EVEN BEEN TOLD THAT THIS COULD BE THE TURBO CHARGER. I FREQUENTLY GET HEADACHES WHEN DRIVING, AND GET DIZZY ON LONGER TRIPS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CO ENTERING THE CABIN. I OFTEN OPEN THE HOOD WHEN IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AFTER COMING HOME AND THE EXHAUST SMELL FILLS THE GARAGE.

2016 FORD EXPLORER XLT WAS GREAT UNTIL I HIT 17,680 MILES. TRANSMISSION WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. ENGINE/WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH AND I BASICALLY CRAWLED TO THE DEALERSHIP. VERY SCARY WHEN STOPPED, PUT THE PEDAL TO FLOOR AND WOULD BARELY MOVE. AFTER A FEW DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT APPEARED TO BE THE CLUTCH AND THEY REPLACED IT. GOT IT BACK AND TWO DAYS LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN. DROVE BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT FOR A DAY, BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT, SO I GOT IT BACK. TWO DAYS LATER, IT HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN. DEALERSHIP SAID IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN, DRIVE IT RIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DON'T TURN IT OFF. A TECH WENT FOR A RIDE WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. WHEN WERE DRIVING BACK, LIGHTS ON DASH WENT OFF AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. THE TECH SAID NOT TO WORRY, THEY'D BE ABLE TO GET A CODE EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WENT OFF. SO I'M ON MY 3RD RENTAL AND WAITING TO HEAR WHAT WILL BE DONE. LUCKILY I LEASED MY EXPLORER AND EVERYTHING IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY ADVICE IS STAY FAR AWAY FROM ANY FORD PRODUCT WITH THIS TRANSMISSION! IT'S DANGEROUS AND COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE.

ROTTEN EGG AND FUEL SMELL IN CABIN.

STRONG FOUL ODOR IS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, THE DEALER HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND TRY TO FIX IT, STILL NOT RESOLVED. DEALER TOLD US TO FILE A CLAIM TO FORD, WE DID, FORD STATED THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER AND THAT THERE ARE CONFIDENTIAL PROCESSES THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE WE WOULD KNOW WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP. THE CLAIMS ASSOCIATE OF FORD STATED THAT SHE CANNOT TELL US THE PROCESS FOR ONLY FORD AND FORD DEALER EMPLOYEES ARE ALLOWED TO KNOW THE PROCESS. THE SAID ODOR IS VERY STRONG THAT IT GIVES US CHEST PAINS, HEADACHE AND NAUSEA. ONE OF MY KIDS DOES HAVE A SEVERE ALLERGY AND MY OTHER KID IS A SPECIAL NEED CHILD, WE WOULD NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH WINDOWS DOWN IN ORDER FOR US TO USE THE CAR. THE DEALER IS DOING A BAND-AID OF DEODORIZING THE CAR FOR THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE FORD HOTLINE TELL THEM WHAT CAN BE DONE.

WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK THE MILES VARIES EVERY TIME. ALSO, THERE IS A SMELL IN THE CAR WHEN I DRIVE. I HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS TO GET RID OF THE SMELL.

I PURCHASED A 2016 FORD EXPLORER 5 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR HAD 38K MILES WHEN PURCHASED AND NOW HAS 42K MILES. LATELY I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEN IN CURVES THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND GETS VERY STIFF AND YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT TO GET THE WHEEL STRAIGHTENED OUT TO KEEP FROM WRECKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDS REPLACED COSTING $1900.00. FORD STATED THAT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY EXSISTING WARRANTY. I CONTACTED FORD REFERENCE THE ISSUE AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD OPEN A CASE AND HELP WITH COST. I RECENTLY HEARD BACK FROM FORD AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED IT DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT ONCE YOU ARE MOVING IS WHEN THE STEERING LOCKS. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 6K MILES OVER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND STILL UNDER POWER TRAIN BUT FORD SAYS THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HELP FIX THIS ISSUE.

STRONG EXHAUST ODOR IN CABIN WHEN ACCELERATING HARD.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED MY STEERING LOCKS UP AND TAKES GREAT EFFORT TO STEER. THEN LOOSENS FOR A BIT UNLESS KEPT IN THE SAME POSITION FOR MORE THAN SAY 30 SECONDS THEN LOCKS UP AGAIN. SOMETIMES WORSE THAN OTHERS. I ALMOST HIT A BARRIERS AT 75 TODAY 10/5/17.TURNS ARE WORSE THAN STRAIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FORD ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A MIN. COST OF $1800 AS I HAVE 55000 MILES ON MY 2016. THIS IS UNSAFE! PLEASE HELP

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. EXHAUST IS LEAKING INTO THE CABIN OF VEHICLE. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE TO BE "FIXED". AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE EXHAUST SMELL HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY WITH THE AC ON.

WHEN ACCELERATING WE GET A VERY STRONG EXHAUST SMELL IN THE PASSENGER CABIN.

EMISSION ODOR ENTERING CABIN DURING ACCELERATION

3-5 SECONDS AFTER A HARD ACCELERATION (NEAR OR AT FULL THROTTLE), THE CABIN FILLS WITH A STRONG, BURNING FLUID SMELL. I CANNOT PIN POINT THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL BUT IT HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN MOTION UNDER HARD ACCELERATION ON ANY TYPE OF STREET. I USE 93 OCTANE AND FULL SYNTHETIC MOTORCRAFT 5W-30. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR FOR AN UNKNOWN NOISE AND I WAS TOLD THE EXHAUST WAS SLIGHTLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS DID NOT FIX THE NOISE AND THE SMELL HAS REMAINED AS WELL.

SMELL COMING FROM DASH VENTS ALL THE TIME. NOT SURE IF IT IS EXHAUST BUT EYES START BURNING AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING. HIGHER RPM'S SEEM TO MAKE IT WORSE. WAS JUST INTO FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN DONE BUT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO TRY NEXT.

UPON STRONGER THAN USUAL ACCELERATION OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR BOTH, THE SMELL OF EXHAUST CAN BE DETECTED IN THE CABIN. UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, THE SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS BECOMES VERY STRONG IN THE CABIN. AFTER TRIPS LONGER THAN AN HOUR, WITH AC OR HEAT RUNNING (NO OPEN WINDOWS), I HAVE BECOME VERY ILL, WITH FEARSOME HEADACHE, NAUSEA, LETHARGY, AND GASTROINTESTINAL DISTRESS. PASSENGERS HAVE ALSO REPORTED HEADACHE, NAUSEA, AND FEELING TIRED. WE BELIEVE THIS MAY BE DUE TO EXHAUST ENTERING THE CABIN AND CAUSING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. YESTERDAY, ON A LONGER TRIP FROM MILWAUKEE, WI TO CHICAGO, IL AND BACK, I BECAME SO ILL THAT UPON RETURNING HOME, I FELL ASLEEP IMMEDIATELY WITH THE WORST HEADACHE OF MY ADULT LIFE. INTENSE NAUSEA LASTED FROM 2PM (ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY THROUGH THE DRIVE) UNTIL ABOUT 9PM. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY DURING LONGER (GREATER THAN 20-30 MILES) TRIPS. HYDROGEN SULFIDE SMELL IS APPARENT MOST DURING WIDE-OPEN ACCELERATIONS BEFORE ENGINE WARM-UP.

DRIVER SIDE EXTERIOR PLASTIC WINDOW PILLAR FLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WENT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL NOT COVER SINCE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. TOTAL BS!!!

TERRIBLE SMELL IN CABIN OF EXHAUST (BURNING) UPON ACCELERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT SMELLED AN EXHAUST ODOR THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOMBALL FORD (22702 TOMBALL PKWY, TOMBALL, TX 77375 (877) 359-7182) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE INNER PANEL ABOVE THE DOOR PANEL HAD A GAP AND NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO TOMBALL FORD, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT BECAME DISORIENTED BUT WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CABIN AIR FILTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ALSO TESTED THE VEHICLE FOR CARBON MONOXIDE AND DETERMINED THAT THE SPOILER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE AUTO DRAIN, GRILL ASSEMBLY, VENT AIR OTTER ADHESIVE, VALVE ASSEMBLY- AUTO DRAIN, INSULATOR, AND DOOR OTTER WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MORE REPAIRS NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BUY BACK THE VEHICLE, BUT WOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE AS OFTEN AS NEEDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,663.

EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CAR HAS BEEN AT FORD FOR OVER 2 WEEKS, TSB HAS BEEN DONE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

WHEN ACCELERATING OR GOING UP INCLINE CAR STARTS TO SMELL LIKE CARBON MONOXIDE (LIKE THE HEATER IS ON). CIRCULATION IS WITHIN CAR. IN ORDER TO GET OUT MUST PUT ON OUTSIDE CIRCULATION AND ROLL DOWN WINDOWS.

WHILE ACCELERATING OR OVERTAKING I SMELL FUMES OR SMOKE IN THE CABIN. FIRST TIME I CALLED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CABIN AIR FILTER MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE. THAT DIDN'T HELP. NEXT TIME IT OCCURRED THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD USE PRIMIERE GAS. THAT DIDN'T HELP. I HAVE A 2 WEEKS OLD BABY AND SCARED WHAT THESE FUMES WILL DO. I HOPE WE CAN FIX THIS BEFORE PEOPLE START PASSING OUT AND CRAS FROM THIS FUMES WHICH CAUSES A DIZZY SPELL. ADDED TO THAT, MY WING MIRROR ADJUSTS ITSELF EVEN WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND VERY FAULTY. REALLY TIRED OF GOING TO "ARROW FORD" AS I GET NO RESOLUTION. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A TOTAL OF 2 MONTHS AND NONE OF MY CONCERNS ADDRESSED

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH AND AN ALERT POPPED UP ON THE DASH THAT SAID TERRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAULT. FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ALERT THAT SAID SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ALERT THAT SAID OUR TRACTION CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL DRIVING FINE SO WE DROVE TO THE NEAREST EXIT TO TURNNOFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. WHILE WE WHERE PULLING OFF THE EXIT RAMP GOING ABOUT 30MPH THE CAR ALERTED US THAT THE HILL ASSISTANCE WAS TURNED OFF. AND ONCE WE STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION AND TURNED THE CAR OFF ONCE WE TURNED IT BACK ON IT ALERTED US EVERY SINGLE ALERT AGAIN AND THEN A NEW WARNING THAT OUR STEERING WAS LOST AND TO PLEASE PULL OVER SAFELY. WE HAVE TRIES TO TURN CAR ON SEVERAL TIMES AND ITS STILL NOT WORKING.

MY EXPLORER HAS 29K MILES ON IT AND THE HANKOOK TIRES ARE PEELING! I NOTIFIED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SPOKE TO JULIO. WAS TOLD IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT W THESE TIRES AND IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAPLY MADE! I TOLD HIM I'M NOT OKAY W DRIVING AROUND MY BABY AND SON KNOWING THE TIRES ARE PEELING. WE HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS! HE ASSURED ME THEY ARE SAFE AND I TOLD HIM I WANT IT IN WRITING . WELL THE MANAGER WAS TELLING HIM TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IF I HIT SOMETHING AND THEY BURST THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE LIABLE! I OVERHEARD AND WENT OVER AND SHE TOOK ME OUTSIDE AND I STARTED RECORDING HER AND SHE SAID THEY ARE NOT SAFE THEY ARE WORN DOWN!! I THEN TOLD HER THEY SHOULDN'T BE! SHE SAID THEY ALL PERFORMANCE TIRES AND DO NOT LAST AS LONG! I TOLD HER I HAD A HOUR DRIVE BACK W MY 9 MONTH OLD SHE WAS NOT CONCERNED ! I HAVE SENSE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND NOTICED THE RECENT RECALL ON HANKOOK TIRES. MINE ARE VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 AND I CALLED HANKOOK AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT TXDOT TO COMPLAIN SO HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE RECALLED AS WELLL. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE!!!

AT APPROXIMATELY 28,000 MILES, DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THESE TIRES WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT LOUSY TREAD LIFE AND SIDEWALL FAILURES ON THIS TIRE/VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS TRIES TO CLAIM THAT WE MUST HAVE HIT A POTHOLE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! THESE TIRES ARE CRAP! FORTUNATELY, ALL THREE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AT (RELATIVELY) LOW SPEED ON SURFACE STREETS. THANKFULLY, THEY DIDN'T OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY WIFE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND WE STILL HAVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS LEFT ON THE LEASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING 72 MPH, EXHAUST FUMES ENTERED THE VEHICLE DURING ACCELERATION WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT BECAME ILL FROM THE ABNORMAL ODOR AND VOMITED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THREE TIMES TO A LOCAL DEALER (RODEO FORD, 13680 W TEST DR, GOODYEAR, AZ 85338) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEALING NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE AND THE MUFFLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 12964208. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

WENT TO THE DEALER COMPLAINED ABOUT FRONT END NOISE ALSO FUMES IN CABIN THEY FIXED THE STEERING RACK I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE FUMES THEY TOLD ME TO USE PREMIUM GAS. THIS WAS IN JULY 2017 WITH 11500 MILES NOW IN SEPT STILL 'LL ING WITH FUMES AND STEERING NOISE COMING BACK. DEALER IS KOPPEL THE ODOR CAME UP THE SAME MONTH I BOUGHT IT WITH 900 MILES ON IT LIKE ALL OF US I THOUGHT WE HAD TO BREAK IT IN

I PURCHASED MY NEW CAR DURING OCTOBER 2015 FROM DEALER IN VA. AFTER SOME TIME, DRIVING THE CAR NOTICED AN ODOR LIKE ROTTEN EGG COMES AND GOES. HOWEVER, I THOUGHT, IT COULD BE DUE TO THE NEW CAR. LATER TIME, I NOTICED EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR, I FEEL TIRED, HAVING HEADACHES, LACK OF ENERGY, AND FALLING SLEEP. I CONSULTED WITH MY DOCTORS AND THEY REALLY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. UNTIL RECENTLY, WATCHING CHANEL 4 NEWS AND THEY WERE REPORTING THE PROBLEM WITH EXPLORER EXHAUST SYSTEM AND POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK INTO INTERIOR OF THE CAR. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS ISSUE IS ACCURATE AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO FIX IT. THANKS

SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 16 IT HAS BEEN BACK FOR SERVICE NURMOUS TIMES, STARTING 2 DAYS AFTER DELIVERY! MAJOR COMPLAINT HAS BEEN COOLENT LOSS AND BURNING COOLANT SMELL FOLLOWING WITH A OIL LEAK AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE 10 MILES ON IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE ISSUES SO I DEMANDED A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, WAS REFUSED DUE TO DEMOGRAPHICS! WELL THE DEALER BRUSHES EVERYTHING OFF AS ALL DO SAY IT'S NORMAL IT HAPPENS, AS TIME PASSES IT GOES BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE THEY REPLACED A OIL SEAL AGAIN AND COOLANT LOSS AND SMELL IS NORMAL TO THEM, THEY CAN'T FIND ANY ISSUES, I TELL THEM IT'S AFTER LONG DRIVES WELL EACH TIME THEY HAVE IT OVER A WEEK. TO BOOT THEY IGNORE MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ROTTEN EGG SMELL I GET ON ACCELERATION! THEY TELL ME IT'S PROBABLY THE GAS I'M USING, MIND YOU THIS IS VERBAL AFTER THE FACT, THEY DID NOT WANT TO PUT IT ON THE WORK ORDER. THEY ORDERED A NEW STEERING WHEEL DUE TO IT PEELING. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT TECHNICALLY I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT I HAD TO COVER THE TECHS TIME, WELL I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN AGAIN FOR NO COOLANT IN THE OVERFLOW FOUL SMELL COMING FROM THE VENTS AND EXAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN.

I HAVE A 2016 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED EDITION UNDER MY DADS NAME AND MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER ON IT. AFTER GETTING OUR CAR I DROVE IT DAILY AS COMMUTER FOR 2 MONTHS AND SOMETIMES I SMELL SOMETHING BAD INSIDE LIKE BURNED TIRES BUT I JUST IGNORED IT BECAUSE I SAID MY CAR IS BNEW AND MAYBE ITS FROM OUTSIDE AND AFTER THAT MY WIFE START DRIVING IT BUT LAST DECEMBER 2016 WE WENT TO VEGAS AND I JANSSEN (HUSBAND) IS THE ONE DRIVING ON THE CAR AND SMELLED SOMETHING BURNED TIRES INSIDE THE CAR WHILE CRUISING ON IT, I CHECKED THE TIRES/BREAK OUTSIDE BUT I DONT SMELL IT FROM OUTSIDE, SO AFTER THAT WE WENT TO OUR DEALER AND CHECKED IT FOUND OUT THERES A CARBON MONOXIDE PRESENT INSIDE AND THEY FIXED IT BY COVERING THE HOLES OF THE CAR THAT MAY BE THE ENTRY OF SMOKE FROM OUTSIDE AND UPDATING THE SYSTEM AS PER SERVICE GUY TOLD ME "RENE" AND SAID EVERYTHING WORKS WELL NOW. AFTER FEW MONTHS IT WAS JUNE 2017 I SMELLED IT AGAIN AND CONCERNED ME MORE BECAUSE MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND I KNOW CO2 IS REALLY BAD ON OUR HEALTH AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE ARE BOTH NURSES AND WE SENT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND MY SERVICE GUY "LUIS " TOLD ME THEY PUT SOME RUBBER IN THE REAR DOOR FOR THE PURPOSE OF SEALING THE DOOR THAT MAYBE THE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST IS THE ONE CAUSING IT AND TAKE NOTE " THE CAR STAYS 1 WEEK IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT". AND NOW SEPT 2017 THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AND I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP, I SPOKE TO LUIS AND CASEY AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S STILL WAITING FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER BECAUSE

RE: CASE NUMBER IS 1095836. I AGAIN EXPERIENCED CARBON MONOXIDE IN MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER CABIN. ONCE ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2017 ON A DOWNHILL PATH ON A RURAL ROD IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE SANTA FE, NM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON, BUT NOT ON RECIRCULATE MODE AND AGAIN IN SANTA FE ON A CITY STREET ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2017 WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING AT 20 - 30 MPH. I HAVE A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INSTALLED IN THE THIRD ROW OF THE EXPLORER WHICH SET OFF AN ALARM. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE A/C AND OPENED THE WINDOWS. THE ALARM TURNED ITSELF OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY EXHAUST FUMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC WITH 3 - 4 CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN THE CAR THAT I WAS FOLLOWING. THE SECOND TIME THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME ON THE CITY STREET.

CARBON DIOXIDE WARNING. DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WANT TO RETURN AND A DESERVE ALL FUNDS RETURNED. WHAT IS BEING SAID ON THE NATIONAL NEWS IS ABSURD AND IF FORD KNOW ABOUT THIS AND PUTTING MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES AT RISK.

I HAVE 16,000 MILES AND 14 MONTHS ON THE ORIGINAL HANKOOK TIRES SUPPLIED ON MY NEW VEHICLE. THESE TIRES ARE MARKETED AS 50,000 MILE TIRES. ALL 4 TIRES ARE SHOWING SIGNIFICANT DEGRADATION, TREAD SEPARATION, AND BREAKDOWN. THE TWO TIRES WHICH WERE ON THE FRONT (DUE FOR A ROTATION) ARE SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. I AM CURRENTLY AT 65% TREAD DEPTH WEAR (AND SHOULD BE CLOSER TO 40%) DUE TO THE CRUMBLING TREAD. DEALER STATED THIS WAS A FAULTY TIRE.
