What 2,429 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Ford Explorer

ANYTIME I ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A STRONG EXHAUST ODOR FILLS THE PASSENGER CABIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT BUT NOW I SAW A NEWS ARTICLE THAT RAISED NEW CONCERNS AND SUGGESTED REPORTING THIS ISSUE IF PRESENT.

NHTSA ODI 11065027

BEEN GETTING HEADACHES FOR THE PAST MONTH AS WELL AS DIZZINESS AND FEELINGS OF NAUSEA. YESTERDAY CAR HAD OVERWHELMING EXHAUST ODOR INSIDE OF CAR THAT MADE ME EXTREMELY ILL ALL DAY YESTERDAY... I DID CALL FORD AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALER WHO STATED THEY WILL CHANGE OUT CLIPS. WANT TO BE SURE TO REPORT AS IT APPEARS IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE TYPLE.. THE SMELL COULD BE SMELT AS SOON AS CAR WAS TURNED ON, AND WORSENED AS CAR WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD. FASTER THE CAR WOULD MOVE THE WORSE IT GOT.

I REPORTED THIS EARLIER TODAY, BUT WANTED TO ADD TO HERE THAT I TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE TO FORD AND TOLD HIM THAT THE CAR WAS LEAKING EXHAUST INTO THE CAB OF THE CAR. HE ADVISED ME TO "DRIVE IT" TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES AWAY. I ASKED IF HE WAS WILLING TO PUT HIS CHILD IN THIS CAR AS THIS IS WHAT HE IS ADVISING ME TO DO. HE SAID HE WOULD NOT. PLEASE USE THIS INFORMATION AS YOU CAN AS FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOW PUTTING PEOPLE IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IN SERIOUS DANGER BY ADVISING THEM TO DRIVE VEHICLES THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT ROAD WORTHY. DISGUSTING A COMPANY IS ALLOWED THIS... THANKS

FROM THE DAY I TOOK DELIVERY OF MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER SPORT, THERE WAS A PROMINENT SMELL IN THE CABIN THAT APPEARED UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION. I INITIALLY BELIEVED IT TO BE CAUSED BY THE "BREAKING IN" OF A NEW ENGINE. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. PASSENGERS WOULD CONTINUALLY ASK ME ABOUT THE AWFUL "ROTTEN EGG" SMELL IN MY EXPLORER. I WAS GETTING HEADACHES AND FEELING NAUSEOUS AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY EXPLORER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND COUNTLESS REPORTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR EXPLORERS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AUTO NATION FORD IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THEY'VE HAD SEVERAL FOLKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT FORD HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW LEADING TO THE EXHAUST FUMES RE-ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE ADVISOR INDICATED THEY WOULD NEED THE CAR FOR AT LEAST A WEEK TO RE-SEAL THE SYSTEM TO MINIMIZE THE PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, I RECEIVED IT BACK AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. I RETURNED THE CAR TO FORD AND THEY ARRANGED FOR ME TO HAVE LOANER EXPLORER WHILE THEY WORKED ON MINE. IT HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. MY EXPLORER WAS AT THE DEALER FOR WELL OVER A MONTH AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR FORD TO ENGINEER AND MANUFACTURE THE PARTS NEEDED TO FULLY RESOLVE THE EXHAUST LEAKS. AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE CAR BACK, THE ISSUE INITIALLY SEEMED TO IMPROVE, BUT QUICKLY RETURNED. THE DEALER HAS STATED THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN AND THAT NO OTHER FIX EXISTS. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. I HAVE A WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH THEM IN THE VEHICLE BEYOND VERY SHORT TRIPS. WE'VE EVEN GONE SO FAR AS TO RENT VEHICLES FOR FAMILY ROAD TRIPS DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH OUR EXPLORER.

THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR FILLS WITH EXHAUST SMELLS. IT IS OVERPOWERING AND HAS CAUSED NAUSEA AND HEADACHES IN MYSELF AS WELL AS MY TWO OLDER CHILDREN. I AM NOT SURE HOW IT IS AFFECTING MY 3 MONTH OLD. THE SMELL IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF IT IS TO STOP THE CAR AND OPEN WINDOWS. IT HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION AS WELL AS STATIONARY.

HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES SIZE 255/50R20 105H. THEY CAME ON MY VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT BACK IN JUNE 2016. I ONLY HAVE 13,900 MILES ON MY TIRES AND THE TREADS SPLITTING, CRACKING AND PEELING HORRIBLY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WARRANTIED FOR 50,000 MILES. I WENT TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE TIRES AND THEY CONTACTED HANKOOK AND THEY ARE PRO-RATING MY TIRES AS 50% TREAD WORN AND GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR 2 NEW TIRES BUT SAID THEY ARE DISCOUNTING THEM BUT WITH ME PRICING THE TIRES THEY AREN'T. TIRES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS LESS THAN 14,000 MILES. I SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON HOW HORRIBLE THE TIRES ARE AND THE SAME HAPPENING WITH THEM. I WOULD OF NEVER KNOWN THIS IF IT WASN'T TO CHECK MY TIRES AND THE PERSON AT THE TIRE PLACE TOLD ME HOW BAD THE TIRES ARE.

THE TIRES ON MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER SPORT ARE VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 20 INCH TIRES AND THEY HAVE BEEN PEELING, CHIPPING AND CRACKING FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS. I ROTATE MY TIRES EVERY 7000 TO 8000 MILES BUT THE TIRES ARE WEARING PREMATURELY. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT THESE SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. REALLY, THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING AT ALL. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE TIRES BUT ONLY ON THE 18 AND 19 INCH TIRES NOT THE 20 INCH. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE 20 AS WELL.

BEGAN FEELING VERY SICK ON FRIDAY JANUARY 5TH, CAR HAD BAD EXHAUST SMELL. HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, THIS CONTINUED OVER THE WEEKEND SO MUCH SO THAT I DID NOT DRIVE ANYWHERE SUNDAY FROM 1:00 ON OR AT ALL ON MONDAY. WOKE UP TUESDAY FEELING OK AND DROVE MY CAR TO WORK, WHILE DRIVING THE 4 MILES ON THE FWY TO GET THERE MY CAR STARTED SMOKING PROFUSELY FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO FORD, IT IS STILL THERE. THEY ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS, THEY SAY TURBO ENGINE AND ENGINE NEED REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. COULD THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE EXHAUST ISSUES I SEE PEOPLE KEEP HAVING? NEVER ONCE DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE (2 YRS, 2 MONTHS) COULD THERE REALLY BE THAT MUCH WRONG WITH THE CAR WITHOUT EVEN A HINT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT?

I BOUGHT THE 2016 FORD EXPLORER XLT LAST WEEK FROM A FORD DEALER, I DROVE IT HOME WHICH IS 35-40 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAD SEVERE HEADACHE. THERE WAS AN ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN WHICH WAS CAUSING THE HEADACHE/NAUSEA. WE COULDNT EXPLAIN WHY THE ODOR WAS THERE AND WHEN WE RESEARCHED ONLINE, WE WERE SHOCKED TO FIND THAT THE FORD EXPLORER HAD THE CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK ISSUE. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE OUR CAR FOR MORE THAN 15-20 MINUTES WITHOUT GETTING A HEADACHE.

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.

VERY STRONG EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING VEHICLE AT OR ABOVE 3500 RPM. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED. ENTIRE CAB FILLS WITH FUMES IMMEDIATELY AND DOES NOT DISAPATE UNTIL ALL WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN. EXPERIENCED HEADACHES, DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA. OWNER HAD TO TRADE VEHICLE (AT THEIR EXPENSE) AS DEFECT WAS CAUSING DAILY HEALTH PROBLEMS. FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE VEHICLE IS PURCHASED. OWNER HAD 2015 FORD EXPLORER WITH SAME PROBLEM AND WON LEMON LAW CASE AGAINST FORD - LEMON LAW ARBITRATORS SMELLED WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS EXHAUST FUMES DURING LEMON LAW HEARING TEST DRIVE. FORD REPAIR ATTEMPTS DO NOT WORK! NHTSA AND FORD NEED TO DETERMINE FIX OR RECALL VEHICLES. EXHAUST FUMES CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE AS WELL AS MANY OTHER TOXIC CHEMICALS. FORD ADMITS EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING VEHICLE BUT CLAIMS LOW VOLUME/SAFE. PLEASE CONSIDER THAT INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN CANNOT BE EXPOSED TO SAME CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS AS ADULTS WITHOUT VERY SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING HARM. ASK A DOCTOR, NOT FORD!!!

THE TIRES ON YM 2016 FORD EXPLORER ARE THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HAVE UNDER 24,000 MILES ON MY LEASED XLT MODEL AND THE TIRES ARE LITERALLY SHREDDING. THERE IS MORE HORROR STORIES AT THE CONSUMER REPORTS REVIEW OF THE TIRE... IT IS THE 255/50R20 TIRE.... UNBELIEVABLE THAT FORD WOULD SEND THESE OUT WITH THEIR VEHICLES.
