2016 Ford Explorer complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE RESEMBLING CARBON MONOXIDE WHILE THE RECIRCULATION AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED. THE PASSENGER (THE CONTACT'S WIFE) NOTICED THE ODOR. THE CONTACT SAW THE FAILURE ON THE NEWS AND CALLED THE DEALER (L&S TOYOTA, 248 AUTO PLAZA DR, BECKLEY, WV, 25801; 304-252-8548; EXT 231) WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE CONTACT FAXED OVER SIX PAGES OF INFORMATION FOR THE DEALER TO TRY AND REMEDY THE CARBON MONOXIDE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE YEAR AND MODEL WAS INCLUDED IN INVESTIGATION NHTSA NUMBER: EA17002 (STRUCTURE, ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK. WHEN I ACCELERATE AS I GET INTO AN EXPRESSWAY RAMP, A STRONG ODOR COMES INTO THE CAR LIKE ROTTEN EGG. VERY CONCERNING, SPECIALLY SINCE I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER TO GET IT FIXED AND IS STILL AN ISSUE.

I AM GETTING CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF MY VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS IN THE RECIRCULATE MODE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED 5/31/16 AND IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION.

NOXIOUS "ROTTEN EGG" SMELL IN THE CABIN WHEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATING. CONCERNED ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE BASED ON RECENT NEWS REPORTS.

WHEN ACCELERATING EXHAUST FUMES FILL THE CABIN

THE TRIM BETWEEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THE WINDSHIELD FLEW OFF OF THE THE CAR. I ESTIMATE THAT MY SPEED WAS 65 MPH. THERE ARE 51,000 MILES ON THE CAR. NOT ONLY DOES THIS COST ABOUT $300 EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS OR PEDESTRIANS NEAR THE ROAD. IT VIRTUALLY BECOMES SPEAR WHEN IT BECOMES DETACHED. I PASS OTHER EXPLORERS OFTEN THAT ARE MISSING THE SAME PIECE OF TRIM AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN WHILE HITTING RPM OF 3200. FUMES ENTER WHILE CARGO VENT IS ON. YOU WILL ALSO SMELL THE FUMES WORSE WITH WINDOWS DOWN. HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND UNDER ACCELRATION. BEEN TO 3 DEALERS AND HAVE ALSO CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE.

AFTER ACCELERATING ONTO THE INTERSTATE OR WHEN I AM CLIMBING A STEEP HILL ONCE I DECELERATE AND MAINTAIN A LEVEL SPEED THE CABIN FILLS WITH A "BURNT OIL" SMELL. IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HARMFUL GASES.

EXHAUST FUMES COMING INTO CABIN, CAUSING BURNING OF EYES AND NOSE, HEAD ACHES, AND NAUSEA.

SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS UPON ACCELERATION

TRAVELLING AT 70 MPH MY VEHICLE'S RPMS DROPPED TO 500 - 1000, THE ACCELERATOR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE, AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IN SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANICS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE WAS A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB). MY CAR WAS JUST OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, AND ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BULLETIN ISSUED, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. THERE IS ALSO AN ACTIVE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS, NOT INCLUDING 2016. I SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH FORD VIA A PHONE CALL, WHO APOLOGIZED AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THE EXPENSE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER. IN MY OPINION, FORD IS NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCTS FOR WHAT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I SAW A NEWS REPORT THAT NHTSA WAS LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE AND IT COULD BE RELATED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WITH THE A/C ON AND WINDOWS UP WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EMITTED A ROTTEN EGG ODOR FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR. THE ODOR INTENSIFIED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. KOONS FORD WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE ODOR WAS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. UPDATED 11/01/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR DOOR HATCH WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED. *JS

BEGINNING IN FEBRUARY 2017, MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE SULFUR OR MOLD WHENEVER I START THE CAR. I SUSPECTED IT WAS AN AC COIL ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT MY COMPLAINT AS PART OF THE ONGOING EXHAUST INVESTIGATION INTO THE FORD EXPLORERS CARBON MONOXIDE ISSUE.

UPON HARD ACCELERATION I GET A STRONG EXHAUST FUME ODOR ENTERING THE CABIN OF THE EXPLORER. SO STRONG MY WHOLE FAMILY NOTICES IT. IT DOES IT EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN OR UP AND WITH OR WITHOUT THE AIR RECIRCULATION SETTING ON OR OFF. SOMEHOW EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERING THE CABIN CAUSING A FOUL ODOR.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER XLT LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE SUBSEQUENTLY QUIT AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES. NO WARNING/MALFUNCTION LIGHTS APPEARED. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO FORD DEALERSHIP.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

EXHAUST SMELL IN CABIN UPON HARD ACCELERATION OR HILL CLIMBING. PROBLEM OCCURS ANY TIME RPMS EXCEED 3000-3500 FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS. WIDE OPEN THROTTLE IS NOT REQUIRED, JUST MODERATE ENGINE STRAIN IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. EXHAUST SMELL SEEMS TO COME THROUGH A/C VENTS AND IS WORSE WITH SYSTEM ON RECIRCULATE, BUT IS DEFINITELY PRESENT WHEN SYSTEM IS SET TO FRESH AIR AS WELL. REAR A/C SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ON IN ORDER TO GET THE SMELL. EXHAUST SMELL IS BAD ENOUGH TO BURN YOUR THROAT IF NOT VENTED BY ROLLING DOWN WINDOWS QUICKLY. PERSONS IN BACK SEAT COMMONLY COMPLAIN OF HEADACHES WHEN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES FOR REPAIRS. NONE HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE. TSBS 14-0130 HAS BEEN PERFORMED, MUFFLERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, HVAC MODULE HAS BEEN UPDATED, BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AS BAD OR WORSE THAN EVER. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. PROBLEM BEGAN AROUND 1,500 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO AFTER-MARKET MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CONTACT SMELLED EXHAUST FUMES FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (MCLARTY DANIEL FORD IN BENTONVILLE, AR) WHERE THE FILTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10.

ON 6/28/2016 THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A LOSS OF CONTROL ACCIDENT DUE TO DRIVER BECOMING UNCONSCIOUS. THE DRIVER AND ALL PASSENGERS BECAME UNCONSCIOUS NEARLY SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE ORIGINAL ASSUMPTION WAS THAT THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP, ALTHOUGH SHE DID NOT REMEMBER FEELING DROWSY PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON I-85, MP 18 NORTH OF MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. SINCE SEEING THE REPORT TODAY ABOUT POSSIBLE CO LEAKAGE INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN ON THE FORD EXPLORER VEHICLES, I WOULD NOW SUSPECT THIS AS A POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN THIS ACCIDENT...UPDATED 08/07/17 *BF *CN

I FELL ASLEEP FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND I HIT THREE OTHER CARS CAUSING ME TO TOTAL MY VEHICLE. WEEKS BEFORE I HAD THE ACCIDENT I WAS EXPERIENCING DROWSINESS AND HEADACHES. I HAD THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN TWO MONTHS.

CARBON MONOXIDE INSIDE CAR, CAUSING SLEEPINESS OF SLEEP!

I BELIEVE C0 IS LEAKING INTO MY CAR AND WHILE DRIVING I HAVE BECOME DIZZY AND GET HEADACHES ON A REGULAR BASIS. I ALSO BECOME QUITE TIRED. I DRIVE FOR A LIVING AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WINDOWS CLOSED. I NEVER DRIVE WITH MY WINDOWS OPEN BUT NEED TO OPEN THEM TO GET RID OF THE DIZZY AND TIRED FEELING.

EXHAUST GAS SMELL IN CABIN WHEN ACCELERATING

WHILE ACCELERATING A WEIRD SMELL FILLS THE CABIN OF MY EXPLORER. OTHER PEOPLE SMELL IT AS WELL NOT JUST ME. SOMETIMES AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES I GET A HEADACHE OR I AM DIZZY.

VEHICLE EMITS ODOR LIKE SULPHUR OR ROTTEN EGGS, POSSIBLY CARBON MONOXIDE, WHEN ACCELERATING RAPIDLY OR UNEXPECTDLY. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING, PRESSING GAS TO MERGE ONTO HIGHWAYS OR TO PASS CARS ON HIGHWAYS. I TOOK MY EXPLORER TO DEALERSHIP PURCHASED FROM SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING, BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. NETWEEN FEB AND MAY 2016 IS WHEN I MADE APPOINTMENT AT DEALER FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY. I ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN TO LET THE SMELL OUT WHEN IT HAPPENS.

EXHAUST FUMES ENTER THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE UPON ACCELERATION. THE DEALER STATES THAT THERE IS NO PART TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. I AM SUFFERING WITH CHRONIC HEADACHES. PLEASE HELP!! MY NEXT STEP IS TO INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN MY VEHICLE.

POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE INFILTRATION. I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WAITING FOR MY WIFE WHILE SHE WAS SHOPPING. I SUDDENLY GOT A HEADACHE AND BECAME DIZZY. WENT HOME AND HEADACHE AND DIZZINESS WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS.

WE EXPERIENCE A HORRIBLE SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES WHENEVER WE FIRST TURN OUR VEHICLE ON. IT IS EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE AND CAN CLEARLY BE TRACED BACK TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS THERE IS NO ODOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS LARGE AMOUNTS OF CO OR CO2 CAN BE DEADLY ESPECIALLY IN ENCLOSED AREA. THE ODOR REMAINS EVEN WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING.

YES I AM HAVING HUGE COUGHING FITS AND LIGHTHEADEDNESS AND EXHAUST FUME SMELL ENTERING MY CABIN ON NEW 2016 FORD EXPLORER I PURCHASED. I AM EXPERINCING HEADACHES AS WELL AFTER DRIVING LONG TRIPS. BOTH ON STREET NORMAL AND HIGHWAY TRAVEL

WE ARE EXPERIENCING AN ONGOING SMELL OF EXHAUST IN THE CABIN OF OUR 2016 FORD EXPLORER. THE SMELL IS NOTICEABLE IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS, BUT TWO CONDITIONS SEEM TO ALWAYS BE IN PLACE - WHEN ACCELERATING AND WHEN THE RECIRCULATE OPTION IS ON.

ON ACCELERATION HAVE SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS. HAVING HEADACHES ALSO. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP BUT SAYING THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH EXHAUST FUMES. I HAVE REPORTED TWICE BUT NO WORD UNTIL SEEING ON CBS ISSUES ON OTHER EXPLORERS. HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

ON JULY 26 AT ABOUT 10:40 AM I WAS DRIVING MY STOCK (NO ADDED EQUIPMENT) 2016 FORD EXPLORER (PLATINUM EDITION). I HAD JUST MERGED FROM NORTHBOUND I-680 ONTO WESTBOUND I-580 (NORTHERN CALIFORNIA). I WAS MOVING AT A CONSTANT FREEWAY SPEED (ABOUT 60 MPH) FROM LANE #5 (RIGHTMOST LANE) TO LANE #1. A FEW SECONDS AFTER ENTERING LANE #1 THE POWER STEERING FAILED. A WARNING APPEARED ON THE VEHICLE WARNING INDICATOR THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE OFF THE FREEWAY AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. POWER STEERING RESUMED AFTER RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR PRODUCES A ROTTEN EGG SULFUR SMELL IN THE PASSENGER CABIN WHILE ACCELERATING THE ENGINE UNDER MODERATE TO HEAVY LOAD. THE FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN ALL THE WINDOWS TO VENT THE SMELL FROM THE PASSENGER CABIN OR I BECOME DIZZY AND LIGHTHEADED FROM THE FUMES. THERE IS DEFINITELY AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT IS COMING INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES UNDER LOAD.

SMELL IN CABIN WHEN DRIVING EVEN AFTER 2 OF FORD'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS WERE PERFORMED. PROBLEM STILL NOT RESOLVED. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO, THAT IS THE ONLY FIX FORD CAN PROVIDE.

DURING ACCELERATION, A STRONG ODOR FILLS THE CABIN. ACCORDING TO THE CARBON MONOXIDE MONITOR WE USED, IT REGISTERED AT 5-9 PPM AS THE ODOR CAME THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. THE AIR WILL RETURN TO 0 PPM AFTER DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN FOR ~1 MINUTE.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THE REARVIEW CAMERA ON THE FORD SYNC SYSTEM WOUND UP SHOWING A FROZEN IMAGE. IT TOOK ME SEVERAL SECONDS TO REALIZE THAT THE IMAGE I WAS LOOKING AT WAS ACTUALLY AN OLD IMAGE! I WAS LUCKY I DID NOT RUN INTO SOMEONE SINCE I WAS ESSENTIALLY BACKING UP WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO SEE ANYTHING.

WHEN I ACCELERATE MY FORD EXPLORER THE EXHAUST FUMES ARE FILLING THE CABIN, WE ARE EXPERIENCING A ROTTEN EGG ODOR THAT BASICALLY MAKES YOU SICK. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, THEY ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL. WE CANNOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR LONG TRIPS LAST TIME WE TRY IT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, I GOT SICK WITH THE FUMES.

FORD EXPLORER CABIN HAS A BAD EXHAUST TYPE SMELL. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN DECEMBER 2016. SMELL WAS MORE EVIDENT IN MARCH TO JULY WHEN WE RAN THE AIR CONDITIONER MORE. WHEN WE ACCELERATED TO HIGHWAY SPEED THE SMELL WOULD FOLLOW A FEW SECONDS LATER. THIS WAS EXPERIENCED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE ON MANY OCCASIONS. THIS IS MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER. TOWARD THE END OF MAY 2017 SHE BEGAN COMPLAINING DAILY OF DIZZINESS AND HEADACHES. THE SMELL WAS STILL PRESENT AFTER ACCELERATING. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER ON JUNE 13. THEY PERFORMED THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR PER THE FORD BULLETIN TSB 170044. WE TOOK THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 22 AND STILL SMELLED THE BAD SMELL THAT EVENING. RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY (JUNE 23). THEY THEN REPLACED THE MAJORITY OF THE MUFFLER AND TAIL PIPE ASSEMBLY. CAR WAS PICKED UP ON JULY 7 AND DRIVEN THAT EVENING. SMELL WAS STILL NOTICEABLE IN THE CABIN. WENT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM AND THEY RECOMMENDED WE TALK TO THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT THE FIRST FORD DEALERSHIP AND GIVE THEM ONE MORE CHANCE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIRD TRIP TO THE SAME DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY INSPECTED ALL OF THE PREVIOUS WORK AND TEST DROVE THE CAR AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS.THE SERVICE DIRECTOR ALSO TOLD US WE COULD NOT PROVE THERE WAS ANY EXHAUST FUMES OR CARBON MONOXIDE INSIDE THE CABIN. (I TOLD HIM HE COULD NOT PROVE THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY EXHAUST FUMES OR CO IN THE CABIN). CAR STILL HAS A BAD ODOR IN THE CAB
