problem #3

Explorer E 4WD 6v

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,690 miles

Today 09/09/2017 my friend called me as informed me that he saw yesterday 09/08/2017: on the news there was a lawsuit against 2011 Ford Explorer about carbon monoxide emission. The report stated that people were having headaches, were nauseous, etc.., which is exactly the symptoms I am having since roughly a year ago.

On February 2017 I went to see a neurologist as my headaches and nausea were worse. I went through several medical tests and I am taking a prescription for the headaches.

Now I honestly and strongly believe that this problem might be the trigger of the symptoms since I had never been sick like that before.

Everytime I get on the highway, I smell the exhaust in our car. I really don't like this defect.

Explorer Limited

  • Automatic transmission
  • 110,000 miles

MY EXPLORER HAS HAD AN EXHAUST SMELL IN THE PASSENGER AREA. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO SEARS AUTO AND FORD DEALER AND BOTH TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, YET I CONTINUE TO SMELL THE EXHAUST WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND UP HILL, WITH MY AC ON. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE I AM NOW SEEING THAT POLICE AND OTHER EXPLORERS ARE HAVING THEM SAME PROBLEM.
