EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE OR MERGE OR DRIVE WITH ALL THE WINDOWS UP, I CAN SMELL A ENGINE EXHAUST/BURNING TYPE SMELL. THIS SMELL GIVES ME A HEAD ACHE AND MAKES ME FEEL NAUSEAS.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE FORD EXPLORER DUE TO EXHAUST LEAKING INTO THE CABIN. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED TWO MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FIXED. HOWEVER, FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE AMOUNT OF EXHAUST IN THE CABIN IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING CONTINUES TO INCREASE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS AFFECTING MY AND MY FAMILY'S HEALTH. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY TO FIGURE OUT IF I HAVE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING FROM PROLONG EXPOSURE TO THESE FUMES AS I HAVE BEEN EXHIBITING MANY OF THE SYMPTOMS FOR THE PAST WEEK AND SMELL EXHAUST FUMES ALL OF THE TIME EVEN WHEN I AM NOT VEHICLE. IF I TEST POSITIVE I WILL HAVE MY FAMILY TESTED AS WELL, BUT THIS ISSUE MUST BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR GOD FORBID DIES. AS YOU KNOW THERE ARE ALSO DELAYED NEUROLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS WHICH WORRIES ME THE MOST AS I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN EXPOSED.

I WAS DRIVING MY PREGNANT WIFE (31 WEEKS) AND MY 22 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER TO CHURCH THIS PAST SUNDAY (1/14/18), WHEN WE ENTERED A SHARP LEFT HAND CURVE. WE GOT TO THE HALFWAY POINT IN THE TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND SENT US INTO A DITCH AND BANK. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE! THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING; NO LIGHT, NO SENSOR, NOTHING. THE WHEEL SIMPLY LOCKED TIGHT IN THE TURNED POSITION AT ROUGHLY 30 MPH. I LATER LEARNED FORD HAS BEEN USING ELECTRONIC CONTROLLED POWER STEERING AND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ACROSS VARIOUS FORD MODELS WITH NO KNOWN RECALLS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED THAT CAN'T TELL THEIR STORY? THERE IS NO WAY WE'LL BE KEEPING THIS VEHICLE AND FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO REDESIGN THEIR STEERING OR RETURN IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL, BELT-DRIVEN DESIGN.

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.

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.
