took my car in to have navigation checked out as it never worked properly from day one . complained about smell was told that they didn't know anything about it being a problem .but when I returned to have navigation looked at for the 4th or 5th time took a service number that I found after getting a class action lawsuit notice the looked it up and ordered parts .took it back to have parts installed .then after the 7th try got the navigation fixed .at this visit they test drove my car and told me that there was not any exhaust coming into the car that that was a catalast smell that it wouldn't hurt anything .still get the smell that you shouldn't get .have a carbon monoxide detector in now that has alarmed once but I haven't been running the air very much as it is cooler right now. pretty bad when you get the run around from ford on a 47,000.00 dollar car . this is the 12th new ford that I have bought and a couple of used ones, might be my last !

This is the second time,14 months after the first time, I've taken my Ford Explorer to the dealer due to a rotten egg smell. This time however it follows months of headaches and nausea, by myself! The week prior to making it to the dealership I had spent several hours in my vehicle with the windows up and front and rear air conditioning on. When I got home that evening I had blurred vision and an excruciating headache, I went to bed.

The next morning I woke up, excruciating headache still present, continued blurred vision, unable to look at anything on my phone and nausea which led to several hours of vomiting. My husband put it together that I had symptoms of low level carbon monoxide poisoning which would explain the nausea and headaches over the last several months as I would drive to college three days a week, spending and hour driving each way.

I purposely did not drive my Explorer for three days and the headache resolved as well as the blurred vision. On the 4th day I drove it to work and school and by the time I was home the headache and nausea were back!!! We took it to Gurley Leep Ford in South Bend Indiana where it was confirmed that AGAIN exhaust was leaking into the cabin area. They again recommended sealing the rear and replacing the exhaust but this time the cost was out of my pocket to a tune of $2500!!!! They advised Ford would not cover the cost of repair again!

Ongoing issue, last visit to dealer was on 7/26/2017 which was the 5th visit for this problem. We purchased our 2015 Explorer 12/2014 and have had an exhaust odor inside while driving. Exhaust odor is very strong while going up long grades and hills or if the engine is under a load over 3500 rpm such as accelerating onto the highway. It is even worse if the A/C is on and in re-circulation mode which should not be letting in the outside air. It is so strong that we have to roll the windows down to ventilate and we have had frequent headaches and light headedness while driving from all the fumes. We have had both TSB's completed which still have not solved our issue. On our 1st visit we were told nothing was wrong even though Ford has had a TSB on the issue and known since 2012. The next two times to the dealer, they did the TSB's. On the 4th visit they noted on our work order that odor may occur even with the repairs completed and did nothing else to try to resolve it. After another 300 miles and more headaches we took it back for the 5th visit on 7/26/2017 and they removed and resealed the rear spoiler per a Ford reps instructions. The dealer even had the nerve to tell us to not drive the car over 3500 RPM or use the re-circulation mode at all. So, we cannot basically use the car normally? Why did we purchase a new car? Just so I can have safety issues that my old car never had? At this point we are afraid to even drive the car as it really is just not safe and we STILL have the same issue, it is not resolved.

I purchased this vehicle in October of 2015 and since that time, I have had nothing but issues with exhaust odor. It happens mostly under heavy acceleration or when putting a heavy load on the engine. When the smell comes in the cabin, it smells like rotten eggs or sulfur. I have contacted a dealer about the issue and was told it was normal for a new vehicle to have this type of smell. I have called multiple times since 2015 and was told the same thing time and time again.

Coming this week, I will contact my Ford Dealer again and will ask them to investigate Service Bulletin TSB 14-0130. Hopefully they will see this is an issue and attempt to resolve the problem.

ALWAYS HAVE EXHAUST SMELL IN CABIN WHEN YOU PASS OR GET ONTO FREEWAY. HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALERS AND SHOWED THE TSB 14-0130-- SEVERAL DEALERS KNOW ABOUT PROBLEM BUT HAVE NEVER FIXED OR REPAIRED ANY EXPLORER'S. LIVE IN TEXAS HILL COUNTRY NEAR SAN ANTONIA. LATELY(JULY 2017) AUSTIN POLICE HAD HAD SEVERAL OFFICERS OVERCOME BY CO IN THEIR EXPLORER PATROL CARS. WE LOVE THE EXPLORER BUT PROBABLY GOING TO TRADE OFF AND LET A DEALER DEAL WITH PROBLEM. FORD HAS GO TO CRAP HAVE ALWAYS DROVE THEIR VEHICLES, LEARNED A LESSON "ALWAYS DO A RECALL OR PROBLEM SEARCH WHEN LOOKING AT A VEHICLE" I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TRUST A DEALER 500 MILES OUT OF 36,0000 MILE WARRANTY DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE HOW TO FIX. SOMEONE IS GOING TO WRECK AND GET KILLED FROM CO . OR A CHILD IS GOING TO DIE FROM CO POISON FROM SETTING IN THEIR CAR SEAT ON A LONG TRIP.

Ford service dept reports "No problem found". They suggested that I take it to a different Ford dealer since this is the 4th time my vehicle has been in for the same problem. They've done all the TSBs and therfe's nothing else they can do. I continue to smell this "sulfur" type smell in the vehicle cabin when I accelerate. I've documented 4 times since the last time I had it in for service on 6/20/17: 6/26/17 acceleration on interstate, 7/20/17 interstate acceleration, 7/22/17 interstate on ramp acceleration, and 7/23/17 noted when pulling onto a busy road from a stop.

The exhaust of the fumes coming into the cabin occurs during full throttle applications, especially when merging onto highways or climbing steep inclines and since the start of the problem has been causing members of my family health problems such as asthma.

We have filed a complaint with Ford at least 3 times for which they held the vehicle 3-4 days for inspection, but found no discrepancy, We wonder why they can't smell it as it happens when it is being driven on the freeway and during instances mentioned above.

My Explorer has had a problem with an exhaust smell in the cabin since I first bought it. I happened whenever I accelerated pretty hard (for example, in a hurry to pass someone on a two lane road). I looked around on the internet and found that others had complained about it too but Ford had done nothing. It was very annoying but I didn't think anything was going to be done about it and it only happened under certain circumstances, so I didn't make a big stink about it.

Yesterday, I received a notice in the mail asking if I had paid any money to get that problem fixed because lots of other people had that problem and there was a law suit being filed against Ford to get people reimbursed and to get the vehicles fixed that had not yet been fixed. Apparently, someone had passed out while driving and hit a tree because of the level of exhaust in the vehicle. I did some more research and found that there is a Technical Service Bulletin out (TSB 14-0130 ) which has a procedure for Ford technicians to follow to correct the problem. I don't understand why Ford has not notified me about this bulletin themselves. Seems like they wouldn't want someone to get killed from inhaling exhaust fumes while driving and then crashing as a result. I am currently trying to arrange for that TSB to be applied to my Explorer. If it really does get fixed, I'll come back here and update this post.

I do not know how many times this has happened over the last 2 years but it has happened many times. I cannot put one of these write ups in here for each occurrence. It happens enough that I can predict when it is going to happen because all I have to do is accelerate hard to make it happen.

We have been smelling this terrible exhaust odor since we bought the 2015 Explorer. Especially when accelerating and with air conditioning on. Been to two different dealers to fix the problem. The Dealers sealed something at the back of the vehicle but still the smell is there. What will it take for Ford to fix the problem; when someone dies from the fumes? If I know this was going to happen, we would have bought another vehicle from another dealer and not a Ford.. We like the vehicle but might have to trade it in if not fixed soon???

Purchased the Explorer new from Autonation Ford in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Exhaust smell hit us about two weeks after purchase when I had to accelerate to get into traffic. Took back five times with several repairs and TSB work overs. Fifth time Ford denied any smell and returned car. Filed Lemon Law in Florida and BBB did a terrible job representing us and helping with our case. There is a class action lawsuit and Ford lost so we may have a way to recoup our losses. Ford is being very stubborn on this issue, it's there it's real and someday someone is going to pass out and get killed. I guess they'll fix the problem them?
