THE DEALER SAID BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THROWING ANY CODES THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. I'M GOING TO PUT A CO DETECTOR IN MY CAR TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH CO EXPOSER.

WE HAVE BEEN SMELLING CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE CABIN DURING HEAVY ACCELERATION (MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY FOR EXAMPLE); IT IS ESPECIALLY WORSE WHEN THE AC OR HEAT IS ON. WE HAD IT "FIXED" SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WHEN FORD OFFERED A SOLUTION TO PLUG GAPS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND HAS NOT IMPROVED. WE OFTEN HAVE OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. WE'VE CONTACTED FORD AND THE LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT LANDERS FORD IN COLLIERVILLE, TN ON 6/11/2019 BECAUSE I HAD A SLOW LEAK IN ONE OF MY TIRES AND NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. THE TECHNICIAN WHO COMPLETED THE SERVICES TOLD ME THAT I NEED NEW TIRES. I QUESTIONED THIS BECAUSE THE TIRES ONLY HAD 28,222 MILES ON THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES THAT FORD PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME (HANKOOK) WERE WEARING OUT BEFORE THEY NORMALLY WOULD. (MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE TIRES HAVE A 50,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEM.) I ASKED WHAT WE COULD DO ABOUT GETTING THEM REPLACED AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES AT FORD BECAUSE I KEPT GETTING HUNG UP ON DURING THE CONVERSATION. ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME THAT FORD WOULD PAY 30% OF THE COST OF NEW TIRES. WE EVENTUALLY WERE ABLE TO GET A CASE OPEN ON THE ISSUE (CASE #CAS-21837229). FORD CONTACTED THE DEALER TO WORK ON A SOLUTION. ON 6/26/19, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAD CONTACTED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. THE SERVICE MANAGER INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL FORD BACK. I CALLED FORD, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME BUT THAT I SHOULD SAVE MY RECEIPT WHEN I GET NEW TIRES IN CASE A SERVICE ACTION/RECALL WAS ISSUED IN THE FUTURE.

WE NOTICED SEVERE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON THE FACTORY TIRES ON OUR 2017 FORD EXPLORER. THE SUV CAME WITH HANKOOK 255/50R20 105H VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES WHICH STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF PREMATURE WEAR WITHIN 15,000 MILES. NOW ONE IS COMPLETELY BALD AT 33,042 MILES AND THE OTHERS ARE PEELING/CRACKING. WE MADE SURE THE TIRES HAD SUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE, AND ROTATED THEM AT EVERY OIL CHANGE, YET THEY STILL KEPT WEARING. THAT ONE TIRE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY BALD SINCE 30,000 MILES (ZERO TREAD AND WEAR INDICATOR BAND SHOWING). WE SAW THE NOTICE UNDER NHTSA ID: 10137109 (MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: SSM 47195) AND MULTIPLE REPORTS OF BLOWOUTS. WE CALLED FORD ON 6-25-2019 AND FORD TOLD US THEY WOULD COVER 30% OF THE COST BUT WOULD REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME KIND OF TIRE. WE CHOSE TO GET ANOTHER BRAND OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. THESE TIRES ARE GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED.

I WAS STUCK AT A STANDSTILL IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY ON FATHER'S DAY WHEN THE DASH LIT UP WITH MULTIPLE WARNINGS SUCH AS "STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY," "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC," "STABILITY CONTROL OFF," AND "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE." I WAS NOT MOVING AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OVERHEATING. ROADSIDE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DEALER. EVENTUALLY, TWO DAYS LATER, THE COMPUTER SAID WE NEEDED A NEW STEERING COLUMN (I THOUGHT A STEERING COLUMN SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE...). THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS, NO LEAKS, AND NO STRANGE NOISES. OF COURSE, I WAS PAST MY WARRANTY. PRETTY HEFTY BILL. THERE IS AN NEW RECALL FOR A REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEM THAT WAS ISSUED JUST DAYS EARLIER.

REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK RECALL: DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES/HR WITH MY HUSBAND BEHIND THE WHEEL AND MYSELF AND OUR 3 CHILDREN IN THIS FAMILY VEHICLE, THIS REAR SUSPENSION BROKE. WE LIVE IN RURAL SALINE COUNTY AND DRIVE GRAVEL DAILY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE ENTERING A BRIDGE ON A HIGHWAY. WE LOST ALMOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF STEERING REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO COMPLETELY TURN THE WHEEL AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IN ONE DIRECTION AND TURN BACK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IN THE OTHER SWERVING AND FORCEFULLY CIRCLING BACK AND FORTH ON A BRIDGE UNTIL THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. GOD' GRACE ALONE SAVED US FROM GOING OVER THE BRIDGE, OR HITTING ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR HAVING INJURIES, POTENTIALLY FATAL AT THIS RATE OF SPEED AND LOCATION. I AM DISSATISFIED IN THE NOTIFICATION OF RECALL INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER AND NHTSA. I ONLY FOUND OUT WHAT MUST HAVE HAPPENED AFTER GOOGLING 'FORD EXPLORER' AND SEEING A NEWS POST 2 DAYS EARLIER. THE NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL WILL COME MUCH TOO LATE IN THE MAIL IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS. TOO LATE! THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BETTER, FAST WAY OF NOTIFYING DRIVER SO THE RECALL PARTS MORE TIMELY. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY. PUT YOUR FAMILY IN THIS SITUATION AND SAY THIS WAY OF NOTIFYING THE CONSUMER IS ADEQUATE!

I'M THE OWNER OF A 2017 FORD EXPLORER. AT THE TIME I WRITE THIS COMPLAINT MY SUV IS FOR THE FOURTH TIME AT THE DEALER SHIP, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE A BOUGHT IT IN SEPTEMBER 2017: EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN. 3 WEEKS ALREADY SINCE I DROPPED IT AT PLANET FORD. ON 05/24/2019 I WENT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HAVING HEADACHES, DIZZINESS AND IRRITATED EYES WHILE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY SUV. I HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD THAT ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPAIR. I WENT LAST FRIDAY, 06/07/2019, TO ASK ABOUT MY CAR AND NO ONE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE WINDSHIELD WASN'T CHANGED AT ALL. PLEASE LET ME INFORM THAT I HAVE PAID THE MOST EXPENSIVE WARRANTY THAT FORD HAS. LAST TIME MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE COMPLETE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS IS ONLY LIKE APPLYING A BAND-AID, IT ONLY LASTS UNTIL IT FALLS DOWN. MY COMMUTE IS 60 MILES EVERY DAY. I DRIVE TOLL WAYS WITH SPEED LIMITS OF 75 M/PH. MY SUV SMELLS LIKE SULFUR OR EXHAUST ODOR IN THE VEHICLE CABIN. THE ODOR IS PRESENT REGARDLESS OF VENTILATION MODE (RE-CIRCULATION OR FRESH-AIR). THIS CONDITION MAY BE WORSENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS HEAVILY ACCELERATED TO PASS TRAFFIC OR CARS OR FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF ACCELERATION, WHICH IS LOGICAL IF A DRIVE MORE THAN 54 MILES OF MY COMMUTE ON HIGHWAYS. IN THE FORD EXPLORER OWNER'S MANUAL YOU CAN READ: 'DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU SMELL EXHAUST FUMES. CARBON MONOXIDE IS PRESENT IN EXHAUST FUMES. TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID ITS DANGEROUS EFFECTS.' THE SUV HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION. THIS SUV IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME, THAT I DRIVE IT MORE THAN 300 MILES PER WEEK AND MY CHILDREN THAT ACCOMPANY ME AT THE BACK SEAT WERE THE 'SMELL' IS EVEN WORSE. COMPLAINTS FOR FUMES IN THE CABIN: 1 I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD USE THE A/C ON RE-CIRCULATION. NOTHING WAS WRONG 2 CHANGED A VALVE 3.CHANGED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. 4. 3 WEEKS IN THE DEALER 05/24/2019.

MAY 29TH 2019 I WENT INTO HEALEY FORD IN GOSHEN NY AFTER NEARLY 4 WEEKS OF HAVING HUGE PLUMES OF WHITE SMOKE POURING OUT OF MY EXHAUST PIPES EVERY TIME I PUSHED ON THE GAS OR STOPPED. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR A CITY STREET THE ISSUE STILL OCCURED. THE SMELL WOULD PERMIATE THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF MY CAR. WE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL FIXED FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CYCLING BACK INTO THE CAR SO THIS IS ALARMING. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS THE WEEKS PASSED AND THE PLUMES BECAME THICKER AND VERY SMELLY. WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM THEY TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP. ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER TAKING IT BACK INTO THE SHOP THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME BACK TO ME AND SAID THAT HE AND 2 OTHER TECHS PERSONALLY ENDED UP LOOKING AT IT AND AGREE THEY BELIEVE IT IS THE TURBO. I AM TAKING IT BACK IN TODAY JUNE 3, 2019 AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE TAKING APART THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND ENGINE TO FIX IT. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM THAT POSTED JANUARY 23, 2017 COVERING ONLY 1163 2017 FORD EXPLORERS( NHTSA CAMPAIGN #16V925000). I CALLED FORD AND REPORT AND WHAT HAS BEEN OCCURING, WHAT WAS SAID, AND MY CONCERNS ON MAY 30, 3019. I EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THEM POSSIBLY MISSING SOME CARS AND PUTTING US AT RISK. THEY NOTATED IT, BUT WERE ADAMANT THAT MY EXPLORER IS NOT INVOLVED. TODAY, JUNE 3 2019, I WILL BE DROPPING MY EXPLORER OFF AT HEALEY AND THEY WILL HAVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS. I AM HOPING NHTSA WILL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK INTO THIS RECALL AND REALLY MAKE SURE ALL CARS THAT HAVE THE ISSUE ARE COVERED. IT'S A DANGEROUS RECALL AND I BELIEVE SOME HAVE BEEN MISSED AND FORD IS NOT LOOKING INTO IT FURTHER WHICH PUTS PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE RESULTS OF THE DEALERSHIP'S ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS WHEN IT IS COMPLETED.

I PURCHASED A 2017 FORD EXPLORER XLT AND AFTER 20,000 MILES I WAS TOLD THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AGREE WITH THE SERVICE MAN AND AM LOOKING TO REPLACE THEM.
