There is a rotten egg smell everytime we accelerate at a high speed when the ecoboost is used. I've taken it to Ford to have seals checked and the smell is still there. My toddler complains of headaches everytime we're in the vehicle and I've had nausea several times. I am now pregnant and worry the fumes will affect the unborn baby.

I bought my Ford Explorer 2 years ago brand new and everys since I bought it I have had headaches. Dizziness while driving and electrical problems with it. My husband has also been treated for headaches and we believe it is from our Ford, we don't have these issues until we are in the car for long periods of time. The dashboard goes blank a lot and it loses power.

We purchased our vehicle in may of 2017, and noticed weird smells. Took it on a road trip and noticed them again in July. After the late July 2017 news release of co in Ford Explorer, we used co monitors and in fact, had co readings. It has been to the dealer approx 10 time and had the tsb service performed, but the problem still exists. I've had 3 different cases open with Ford, and during the last case, they denied my "buyback" request. Please help. Photo attached and videos can be mailed in that show co levels and then show co levels going to zero when we roll down the window. We have had co problems for over a year now. Please help because Ford won't.

Strong exhaust smell leaking into the cabin.

- Virginia Beach, VA, USA

I have noticed theres a burning smelling from heater/ac vents right after acceleration from vehicle being stopped. I can confirm its a burning smell (similar to burning plastic or rubber). When the smell is present, it feels like theres lack of acceleration from the gas pedal. Almost like if theres a clogged air filter or issue with transmission or exhaust. It feels like that kind of poor acceleration issue. The burning smells last for about 1-2 minutes and I'm not sure where its coming from. The odor is a very strong odor and I'm waiting for a fire to break out somewhere when this odor is present. I have a service appt on Monday, Feb 26 and hopefully something will be found. The last thing I want is to be driving and the vehicle breaks down, let alone catches fire for some reason.

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 Explorer. 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.

Smell of exhaust enters in passenger cabin whenever driving when rpms are higher.

- Plainfield, IL, USA

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?
