The car has rotten egg bad/smell inside the car since the early of the car ownership. We brought to car to the dealer 2 years ago trying to figure it out the source of the smell, but was told it was due to the mildew. Currently, the car still have rotten egg smell coming from the air outlet. The smell is strong when it is idling. I am worry about the safety of my family.

When accelerating we get a very strong sulfur smell in the cabin. Most of the time it is so strong that we have to roll down the windows.

- Owasso, OK, USA

When accelerating rapidly a strong exhaust odor enters the cabin of the vehicle. Odor results in headache and at times nausea. However, odor is not as prominent if the car accelerates gradually only if accelerating quickly ie...merging onto the highway. This has been a problem since I purchased my vehicle May 10, 2012. I have inquired about this issue multiple times when the vehicle has been in to the purchasing dealer for service and was told each time that "no problem could be found or duplicated".

Carbon monoxide smell is coming out of vents when A/C is used. It usually starts happening after the car is warmed up. The smell is so strong I often have to turn off air conditioning and roll down the windows to allow the air to be cleared out. Often get headaches from this smell.

During heavy acceleration... for example when I'm entering a highway... really strong smell of engine fumes enter the cabin... every time. I have a 2013 Ford Explorer XLT - very happy with my Ford otherwise.

- Zionsville, PA, USA

There is carbon monoxide in the cabin while stationary and in motion.

I have 2013 Explorer Sport.. I have exhaust fumes entering the cabin through the vents(HVAC). Well know issues that seems to have no resolve according to Ford. Although they did issue a service bulletin back in 2014. From what I have read it doesn't seem to solve the problem. Many people still have fumes after the "fix".@$700-$850. Warranty does not cover the cost. A classs action law suit has been filed and awaiting for settlement decisions. Carbon monoxide is not something I want to expose my family to on a daily basis. Ford needs to find a fix or a recall need to happen. My dealer is cooperating and will be assessing the issue. But from what I read only one person has had a positive outcome from Ford. I hope this complaint will help push Ford to make a better effort to resolve this major issue.

Blinker design is flawed. When pressed lightly, the blinker "blinks" 3 times and turns off. This is ok, but when you want to actually turn your blinker on, you have to apply much more pressure than usual. As a result, I often flash the high beam lights. This has happened on multiple occasions and has made motorists angry with me when, unfortunately this was unintentional. It makes me look like an aggressive driver and all I am trying to do is turn my blinker on. Since I know this is an issue, I am purposely careful and this still occurs way too often. I now consider not using my blinker or just using the one with 3 blinks (which is not sufficient) to avoid accidentally flashing my high beams at the car ahead of me. This should be repaired, as it is not functional and unsafe.

Experiencing strong sulphur smell inside vehicle. (during acceleration and when rear air is on). Drove vehicle all summer with my children riding along and I thought my 8 year old was experiencing car sickness. We would have to pull over because he would get sick to the point of throwing up many times. I just figured it was car sickness because I didn't smell any fumes (it all makes sense now, carbon monooxide is odorless). When riding in our other vehicles, it never happened. He rode 5 hours to the beach and 5 hours home in my husbands 2013 GMC 2500 and didn't get sick once. I took my car to the dealership to have the wheel bearing replaced today (10/11/16). I told them to check the catalytic converters to make sure they weren't plugged because of the odor (the strong odor started yesterday). They call me and tell me there is a tsb *service bulletin" and certain 2011-2015 Explorer have exhaust fumes leaking into the vehicle. It all started to come together. I called Ford and because my 36/36,000 warrenty ended (I have 45,672 miles on it now), there is no coverage. I even purchased the extended Ford plan and they said it won't cover it either. I have to pay them $480 to try to fix it. I've read peoples experiences and their solution to fix it hasn't worked for anyone. I bought a carbon monoxide detector today and when I pick it up tomorrow, I am going to place it in the car where my 8 year old sits and turn the air on. I will also record the results on the detector to see what happens. Extremely disappointed in Ford! they haven't even made anyone aware of this problem and they don't intend too! its a big secret for them because that is one of their best selling vehicles. And good luck getting it covered!

Exhaust small after high acceleration lasting about five minutes then diminishing. Setting of the HVAC system seems to be irrelevant, on or off. I previously brought this vehicle to my local Ford dealer approximately a year ago (2015) for this specific exhaust smell issue but they said they couldn't duplicate the issue. This issue has been and continues to occur.

The door ajar light stays on. The door sensor does not work. The interior lights remain illuminated draining the battery. The problem has been ongoing for the past three months. The recall list for Ford on this issue keeps expanding - this week to include Ford edge. Obvious problem with Ford need a recall as dealer will not cover.

- Lake Orion, MI, USA

The "door ajar" lights do not go off for the front passenger and front drivers doors. It appears the doors are shut, but the censors do not go off. Because the censors do not go off, the dome light stays on making it hard to see at night and draining the battery. The doors do not lock making it a safety issue. When the drivers door censor is on, it sets off other alerts like "shift to park" and "engine is on" because it thinks the doors are open and it continuously beeps or alerts me. This has been happening for almost one year. I took it to the dealership and they charged me to clean the latch. They said this had been an issue with other Explorer and sometimes it helps, sometimes it does not. It did not help. I have been dealing with it for almost a year. The dome light stays on even when the keys are not in the ignition. These censors come on when the engine is started, in park, and sometimes randomly while driving.

Door ajar warning light will not turn off after car has been started. Problem was brought to Ford dealership's attention but would not cover under the 3 year warranty as we missed the cutoff by 2 months. This condition has lasted for 6 months as we continue to hope that a recall notice is issued.

This evening my wife ran a few errands and afterwards literally stumbled into our home because of how dizzy she was. I asked her what was wrong and she said she accelerated quickly to get on a busy city street near our house coming home and she subsequently inhaled an "exhaust/burnt hair" smell from inside the car. She could barely even stand straight. We have 2 small children and the exhaust/gas smell has progressively gotten more and more noticeable when accelerating quickly. We've now had the vehicle 2.5 years approximately. Every time we fill the vehicle up with gas, the fumes linger inside the car for over 24 hours. I'm seriously worried about my family's safety at this point and we're wondering what action to take next since we don't want to continue driving a potentially hazardous vehicle. Unfortunately, we live in a warm state and have to utilize the ac with the windows up almost exclusively.

The door sensor indicates the door is open when in reality it is closed. This causes a warning bell that does not cease and keeps the dome light illuminated. This condition also causes the alarm system to go off resulting at times in a police response. In order to alleviate the problem you must shut the door repeatedly, sometimes a dozen times or more. This also has run the battery down due to the dome lights and accessories staying on. Apart fromt he obvious frustration this problem is potentially dangerous. This is not a one time thing but a chronic and repeated problem that has no real resolution. I see other Ford users are experiencing similar problems with their Ford Explorer.

- Horton, MI, USA

On July 5, 2016 I fell asleep while driving my Explorer in I-495 South of boston at about 1:00 P.M. I read an article about exhaust fumes in the cabin of this model. Wareham Ford said that my car had this problem and referred me to tsb 14-0130 showing that Ford knows of this problem. I was charged $700.72 to correct this dangerous problem. I think Ford should recall these vehicles and pay to fix them. Fortunately, there were no injuries or property damage in my case but that might not be so for the next person.

When the air conditioner is set to fresh air and not recirculate, exhaust fumes enter the passenger cabin under hard acceleration. This can be reproduced every time by a slow speed of 5 miles and then hard acceleration until speed limit. This then leaves the cabin full of strong exhaust fumes. On long road trips we often have headaches that we believe is caused by this even without hard acceleration.

- Tampa, FL, USA

Since the first week of owning this vehicle, we became aware of a very strong exhaust smell inside the cabin upon hard acceleration. It happens every time. First complained to dealership when I brought in for first oil change and they basically blew me off and claimed they found nothing. That was back in 2013. We have since used a carbon monoxide tester in the vehicle that confirms an issue with levels inside the vehicle. This has occurred repeatedly every time we accelerate hard from the first week we owned the vehicle, to currently. It seems like it might even be getting stronger in smell and lingers longer.
