Driving about 65 miles per hour on the highway, passenger side windshield trim flew off the car into traffic behind me (no previous damage, nor looseness etc.). when we stopped to see what happened, realized the driver's side had also come loose, but was still attached to the vehicle.

My husband bought my car from a used Ford dealership 2 years ago. In the two years we have had to replace the molding around the front windshield 3 ones. The passenger side flew off while driving down a road and we replaced it. The driver side flew of 2 times after being replaced. We went to the Ford dealership and they said I'm sorry there is nothing we can do. He even told us that 4 other people came in wth the same problem.

I was traveling with my family down a busy highway. The windshield moulding on the driver side flew off. I was going about 70 mph with flow of traffic. No abnormal wind, just wind from speed. Was no reason it should have flew off. I have talked to numerous other Explorer owners and this is a common issue. Some have even had to be replaced more than once. Thank you for your time and I hope there is a solution found to this.

I have, on several occasions, have gotten very very tired while driveing my 2011 Ford Explorer to the point where I have almost fallen asleep behind the wheel driving and have fallen asleep while idiling in the driveway. Not to mention the excruciating headaches ive suffered from recently along with nausea, not to mention the smell of exhaust in the cabin.

- Nashville, TN, USA

When accelerating up inclines or hills or when entering the highway from the acceleration lane or accelerating to pass a strong odor of exhaust gas can be detected in the passenger cabin. The smell is so strong the windows have to be let down to evacuate the cabin of the exhaust gas.

Driving down road at 70 mph the plastic covering over passenger side front pillar came off, flew over car and landed off road behind me.

Regards from the first year I purchased I have entered the exhaust area of the cabin. From the first year, service, people who attended me in the Ford dealer, told me I could not find a cause or that was part of the design of the unit. I got to take it to 2 different dealers whenever I'm driving and presented me having to climb down or up a hill, it is where the problem arises. I may happen in the express or normal roads. The one last visit for a recall, returned to discuss the problem and now tells me it costs me $ 600 for the repair memo I get how to work with the problem. I have trouble because they spent 36,000 miles. My comment is that from the first year've been reporting the problem and did not have any kind of solution. The smell is now very often and truly bothers to guide and must represent a health problem.

I was driving down I64 East when I started hearing this loud buzzing like noise. Next thing I knew it sounded like something hit my driving side window bounced alone my car and flew behind me causing the driver behind me to Dodge it....I pulled off the interstate to find that the trim was gone alone the driver side windshield. It had hit the drivers side on my car in multiple places and caused long black marks on my side mirror, and rear side panel. Got back on the interstate and not even ten minutes later it happened to the left side. Same exact thing! right passenger side trim flew off hitting my wife's window, scratched the car and caused person behind us to Dodge it. I also had my four children in the car, so everyone was very upset and scared considering that it could have caused us to wreck going 70 mph down the interstate in heavy traffic.I called the dealership (greenbrier Ford) where we bought it and the service manager told me that is too bad, come in and get and estimate, so you can pay to fix your repairs. This is definitely a malfunction with this exterior of the car which I shouldn't be liable for especially considering that it could have caused a major accident and harmed my family. I guess Ford needs someone to die before they recall or fix the problem. Thanks Ford for caring...not.. what has happened to integrity??

The hood paint is bubbling up and shows corrosion along the front. The rubber around the windshield is dry rotted and crumbling all around the windshield. The dealer refuses to do anything about either problem. There is a Ford tsb issued on the paint issue.

I was driving down the street at around 20 mph when there were cars that suddenly stopped. When I was braking I felt as if the steering was allowing me to turn and it happened so fast I felt as if I lost braking power. Then I hit the car in front of me hard.

My vehicle was parked in the driveway, where it had been since the previous day. I opened the front drivers side door and got into the car. I put the keys into the ignition switch and started the vehicle. At this point I closed the drivers side door. At this moment I heard a loud "pop" sound. I looked into the rear view mirror and saw a large hole in the glass of the upper center portion of the rear window. Upon further inspection the remaining glass was shattered and spider webbed. There was glass on the ground outside the vehicle as well as in the rear compartment of the car.
