Since owning this vehicle, experienced exhaust odors inside of vehicle, for over two years experiencing severe health issues, had been complaining to my doctors. Took vehicle in and dealer said they fixed odors which was producing exhaust carbon monoxide. To enter into vehicle, since being fixed for carbon monoxide issues still experiencing health issues. After reading articles yesterday am convinced my health issues are now related to carbon monoxide poisoning due to Explorer defect.

The last (3) times my son has been in our 2016 Ford Explorer he has vomited. He is 2.5 years old and we have a daughter on the way in 2-3 weeks. It is just now clicking that this is probably a CO2 issue since he is always fine once he gets out of the car. It is always about 10 minutes after driving. He becomes dizzy and looks down. It is awful. We have tried to get the part from Ford for weeks but they say they are back-ordered. Please help!

Exhaust fumes inside vehicle there is a smell of exhaust fumes inside our 2016 Ford Explorer when the engine is running. We purchased this 'new' in July 2016 and noticed it right away - if you don't open the windows and air out the vehicle, the fumes cause passengers to experience nausea and headache - it is most noticeable on acceleration but sometimes it just occurs out of nowhere. It then becomes absolutely necessary to open the windows and get oxygen / outside air inside the vehicle - it's almost automatic for us to do this anymore - start the car, accelerate, open the windows, air it out, close the windows. This vehicle's usual occupants are a driver and front seat passenger, however, second and third row seat passengers who have been in the vehicle have experienced and reported the same issues, e.g., nausea and headache. The vehicle now has 26K miles.

My family is getting sick while in the car. Adults with symptoms of dizziness and nausea. Children with symptoms of nausea, headaches and vomiting. The vehicle is in motion and has happened on county, state and highway roads. Getting out of the vehicle makes the symptoms go away.

Very stong carbon-monoxide smell in cabin. I have to put windows down to drive. Took to Ford for the recall repair, still have an issue. Happens when car is sitting & while being driven.

I reported this earlier today, but wanted to add to here that I talked to a representative to Ford and told him that the car was leaking exhaust into the cab of the car. He advised me to "drive it" to another dealership about 20-30 minutes away. I asked if he was willing to put his child in this car as this is what he is advising me to do. He said he would not. Please use this information as you can as Ford customer service is now putting people in and outside of the car in serious danger by advising them to drive vehicles that are obviously not road worthy. Disgusting a company is allowed this... thanks

Been getting headaches for the past month as well as dizziness and feelings of nausea. Yesterday car had overwhelming exhaust odor inside of car that made me extremely ill all day yesterday... I did call Ford and they had it towed to a Ford dealer who stated they will change out clips. Want to be sure to report as it appears it is an ongoing problem with this vehicle typle.. the smell could be smelt as soon as car was turned on, and worsened as car was driving down road. Faster the car would move the worse it got.

Anytime I accelerate to highway speeds, a strong exhaust odor fills the passenger cabin. I was told it was nothing to worry about but now I saw a news article that raised new concerns and suggested reporting this issue if present.

- Tampa, FL, USA

I was driving on a major highway and my SUV suddenly started loosing power and jerking (hesitating to move) I pulled over and started to smell burning oil or very unique smell almost like burning break fluid or carbon. Took the car to the dealership and the smell was noticed immediately by the service rep. They could not find the issue and cannot explain the smell in my cars cabin. The smell is so strong when parked or during idle that we cannot run the ac or heater for fear of the smell making ya all sick. Ford will not provide any insight or help and the smell is literally harming me and my children. The issue is ongoing and the smell has not let up. The car does sputter out when accelerating from time to time..no answers from Ford on why that happens....completely lost and frustrated!

Car has smelled awful since leasing. Being gassed with carbon monoxide every time I drive it. Took in for recall to varsity Lincoln. They did not address it. Drove car to frankenmuth for thanksgiving dinner 1 1/2 hour ride. Something popped and the most awful gas smell came out and never went away everybody around us could smell it. Dropped it off at tom holzer Ford. They addressed the recall and smell by putting adshesive (tape) and sealant (glue) called and told it it was ready. The smell was not gone took it back 4 days later. Was told the transfer case blew and they would need it for a few days to fix it. Pick up car still smelled awful. Went up North last week. Three hour ride. The first hour I had the back windows open as always cause I know I am being poisoned. The next two hours were pouring rain could no longer drive with windows open. Stopped for gas and groceries. Got out of Explorer and was dizzy, nauseated and my heart hurt couldn't think of what groceries I needed clerk asked if I was ok. Told him not sure what was wrong with me figured it out I was poisoned carbon monoxide

The interior of the car fills with exhaust smells. It is overpowering and has caused nausea and headaches in myself as well as my two older children. I am not sure how it is affecting my 3 month old. The smell is uncomfortable and the only way to get rid of it is to stop the car and open windows. It happens when vehicle in motion as well as stationary.

I bought the 2016 Ford Explorer XLT last week from a Ford dealer, I drove it home which is 35-40 minutes away from the Ford dealership and both my wife and I had severe headache. There was an odor inside the cabin which was causing the headache/nausea. We couldnt explain why the odor was there and when we researched online, we were shocked to find that the Ford Explorer had the carbon monoxide leak issue. We are not able to drive our car for more than 15-20 minutes without getting a headache.

Very strong exhaust fumes entering vehicle at or above 3500 RPM. It happens every time accelerating to highway speed. Entire cab fills with fumes immediately and does not disapate until all windows are rolled down. Experienced headaches, dizziness and nausea. Owner had to trade vehicle (at their expense) as defect was causing daily health problems. Ford needs to be forced to notify consumers about this problem before vehicle is purchased. Owner had 2015 Ford Explorer with same problem and won lemon law case against Ford - lemon law arbitrators smelled what they described as exhaust fumes during lemon law hearing test drive. Ford repair attempts do not work! NHTSA and Ford need to determine fix or recall vehicles. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide as well as many other toxic chemicals. Ford admits exhaust fumes entering vehicle but claims low volume/safe. Please consider that infants and young children cannot be exposed to same carbon monoxide levels as adults without very serious and life threatening harm. Ask a doctor, not Ford!!!

Exhaust fumes are some how leaking through the cabin. Fumes are mostly noticed when getting on the freeway or hard acceleration.

- Rio Rico, AZ, USA

Hankook ventus S1 noble 2 tires that are on the Explorer are faulty causing the thread to shred. This could have caused my tires to come sort while driving and possible collision & injury. There was only 12,995 miles on them. No extreme driving conditions etc. I had to replace today.

Carbon monoxide issue into the cabin of the vehicle

- League City, TX, USA

I bought this car in August of 2016 and noticed when accelerating to get on a highway or doing any type of quick acceleration the vehicle put off an awful smell in the cab and the smell is similar to rotten eggs. I've brought the vehicle in for all its regular maintenance at the dealership and spoke with the service manager about the issue and the response I got was we heard this before but have no solution. No solution?? I'm breathing in god knows what and I'm always in the vehicle with my family, friends and business associates and that was the response I get! I have no idea what its possible doing to myself and others but I'll tell you this it cannot be good. I am at the point with this vehicle that I don't want to get in it any longer as I am concerned about my health and what possible damage its doing to me and others. I am so disappointed in the fact they have no solution and I will not be buying another Ford product ever again.. this problem has been going on since the week I picked it up and has not stopped in over a year and 2 months. If there was a way to get rid of it today I would but unfortunately I still have a year and 8 moths before I can turn it in, which I will the first day I can legally can.. Ford should take these cars back and terminate the loans or leases and let people go get something that's safer for them to be in. Don't give back the money as myself and others have used the vehicles up till this point. To be fair Ford Motor Company shouldn't be responsible to paying people back for a time that people used the vehicle but they should take them back. They are making vehicles ( Ford Explorer ) that are not safe for peoples health. One very dissatisfied customer. In the end they will get the car back and I will move along to another brand!
