2015 Ford Explorer UNKNOWN OR OTHER

REAL BAD EXHAUST SMELL COMING FROM AC VENTS WHEN PASSING ANOTHER CAR AT HIGH SPEED CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWO TIMES EXHAUST SMELL STILL THERE.

THE CAR HAS A STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHEN ACCELERATING HARD.

I OWN A BRAND NEW 2015 FORD EXPLORER. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE SECOND DAY WE HAD THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL THAT WOULD FILL THE CABIN OF THE CAR DURING ACCELERATION. WE THOUGHT THE SMELL WAS JUST THE "NEW" BURNING OFF THE ENGINE, FAST FORWARD TO A MONTH LATER AND THE PROBLEM IS JUST AS STRONG AS EVER. I WAS CURIOUS SO I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND TO MY SHOCK THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN PLACE AT THIS TIME ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING FORD WITH NO HELP WHATSOEVER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF MY FAMILY IN WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE. CASES OF CARBON MONOXIDE ILLNESS FROM EXHAUST FUMES ARE NOTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE PUSHED ASIDE.

MY NEW 2015 FORD EXPLORER XLT PRODUCES A VERY STRONG EXHAUST/SULFER SMELL INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN. THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RAPIDLY ACCELERATED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM AND ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT SIX DIFFERENT TIMES. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS, BUT NONE OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE REDUCED THE STRONG ODOR AND NOXIOUS FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE A STRONG EXHAUST SMELL FILLS THE CABIN. THE SMELL IS OVERWHELMING AND CAUSES A SCRATCHY SENSATION IN YOUR THROAT. THIS IS MY SECOND EXPLORER (THE FIRST WAS "LEMON-LAWED" FOR THE SAME ISSUE). FORD WAS QUICK TO REPLACE THE FIRST VEHICLE, HOWEVER NOT AS EAGER TO REPLACE THE SECOND. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND WORRY ABOUT HIS HEALTH AND HOW IT IS AFFECTING HIM. SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. BUYERS BEWARE...I WILL LOSE MONEY IF I HAVE TO TRADE THIS VEHICLE. THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU PURCHASE AN EXPLORER.

SAME PROBLEM AS MANY. EXHAUST SMELL AT ~3,500 RPM. NO FIX, SECOND EXPLORER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. RETURNED LAST ONE UNDER THE LEMON LAW PROGRAM.

THIS NEW 2015 FORD EXPLORER PRODUCES A VERY STRONG EXHAUST/SULFER SMELL INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN WITH ALL THE WINDOWS UP AND THE REAR A.C. ON. THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RAPIDLY ACCELERATED. WITH THE REAR A.C. OFF, AND THE FRONT ON, THE SMELL IS GREATLY DIMINISHED, BUT STILL NOTICEABLE DURING HARD ACCELERATION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM AND ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. FORD HAS A TSB ON THE PROBLEM THAT INCLUDES SEALING THE REAR A.C. INTAKE PORTS AND SEALING THE REAR SEAMS AT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, BUT NONE OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE REDUCED THE STRONG ODOR AND NOXIOUS FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN. THE FUMES ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE BURNING OF THE EYES, THROAT AND NOSE.

2015 FORD EXPLORER HAS FOUL SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN. REALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN OR SUNROOF IS OPEN. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER (VARSITY FORD) THAT IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AND IT HAD A TECHNICAL BULLETIN. TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS PERFORMED AND RELEASED BACK. VEHICLE STILL HAS SAME ISSUE. NOW THE DEALER IS SAYING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL THE FORD ENGINEERS INVESTIGATE. I INSTALLED A CARBON MONOXIDE SNIFFER INTO THE VEHICLE AND FOUND 45 PPM OF CARBON MONOXIDE ENTERING THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THERE TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING AT THIS TIME THEY CAN DO WITHOUT FORD RELEASING A FIX ????????

NEW (DEALER DEMO), 2015 EXPLORER XLT WITH ~6000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE CABIN FILLS WITH ACRID, "HAIR/PLASTIC BURNING" SMELLING FUMES WHEN UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION; MOSTLY AT >4500RPM WHILE TRYING TO PASS OR ENTER TRAFFIC. THE FUMES CAUSE HEADACHE AND NAUSEA AND ACTUALLY LEAVE A LONG LASTING, BURNING/OILY TASTE IN THE MOUTH AFTERWARDS. IT TAKES ALL WINDOWS OPEN FOR MANY MINUTES TO CLEAR MOST OF THE FUMES/SMELL OUT. THE PHYSICAL EFFECTS SEEM TO LAST FOR UP TO 30 MINUTES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONDITION THAT HAS EXISTED SINCE THE 2011 MODEL AND IS STILL PRESENT IN THE 2015 MODEL.
