I passed out while driving my 2016 Ford Explorer down the freeway. The vehicle went off the roadway and down the embankment. The vehicle was a total loss. There is now a Ford recall on the vehicle, issued today, 10/26/2017 (Ford recall: 17N03) for carbon monoxide concerns. Ford has known about this issue for months and not issued a recall until many months later. At the time of my collision, the county I live in was in a state of emergency and I went to the 1 open hospital. Due to the circumstances and not thinking that carbon monoxide could have caused the incident, I did not get blood work done to confirm if I had been poisoned by carbon monoxide.

Burning hair smell in cabin of vehicle. Notice it during break in informed service adviser of smell when I took the vehicle in for the first service. Taken back several times over the last two years witch results in the odor being worst now than first noticed. Ford has replaced the air vent located between the hood and the windshield. They have replaced body panels and sealed opening in the rear of the vehicle. The last repair was to replace the entire exhaust system. During a trip to Florida after the exhaust replacement we were about 100 miles from home driving 70+ mph on I-10. When my wife complained of her heart pounding, feeling nauseous and passed out for a moment. I noticed that I had a headache also and I immediately rolled the window down. Within a few minutes my wife felt better so I did not continue to the nearest hospital as she had asked. We drove with the windows open for the rest of our 525 mile trip and drove home with them down for another 525 mile. Since returning I have written a second letter to Ford explaining our complaint. Need to have the problem resolved. My wife has heart issues, takes blood thinners and may have been more susceptible to the carbon-monoxide than I. she is scared to drive the vehicle very much and we can not afford to purchase another one because we could not sell this one with it's problems.

We have noticed a foul smell in our Ford ex since we purchased it with no explanation regarding the cause. I believe that it is related to the carbon monoxide issue with this vehicle. When I contacted Ford regarding this problem they refused to provide any assistance or any resolution regarding fixing the problem.

Although I have not yet recd. Any letters from Ford on repairing my Explorer, my son often complaints of uneasiness and nausea when sitting in the back seat of my car. I don't particularly notice any smell but I am now concerned that this is related to the other news around fumes and co entering the cabin. This happens specially when the car is running and A/C is on with A/C windows closed. I noticed this only during our summer break this time when my son spent a lot of time in the car as opposed to school nights.

Exhaust smell enters the cabin when the engine is on. This gets worse when getting on the interstate, passing other vehicles, or going up hills. The issue has been going on since we bought Explorer brand new in summer 2016. I have had it back to the dealer for routine maintenance since then and each time I ask them what the issue is and if they can look into it. Their response has always been that nothing is wrong and this is normal behavior. I have even been told that this could be the turbo charger. I frequently get headaches when driving, and get dizzy on longer trips. I am concerned about co entering the cabin. I often open the hood when it is parked in the garage after coming home and the exhaust smell fills the garage.

Strong foul odor is coming out of the exhaust. We bought this vehicle brand new, the dealer have tried multiple times to find the cause of the issue and try to fix it, still not resolved. Dealer told us to file a claim to Ford, we did, Ford stated that the car should be repaired by the dealer and that there are confidential processes that needs to be done before we would know what is the next step. The claims associate of Ford stated that she cannot tell us the process for only Ford and Ford dealer employees are allowed to know the process. The said odor is very strong that it gives us chest pains, headache and nausea. One of my kids does have a severe allergy and my other kid is a special need child, we would need to drive the car with windows down in order for us to use the car. The dealer is doing a band-aid of deodorizing the car for they are waiting for the Ford hotline tell them what can be done.

Smell coming from dash vents all the time. Not sure if it is exhaust but eyes start burning after about 15 minutes of driving. Higher RPM's seem to make it worse. Was just into Ford dealership and has a service bulletin done but made no difference. They are not sure what to try next.

Terrible smell in cabin of exhaust (burning) upon acceleration.

- Sylmar, CA, USA

While accelerating or overtaking I smell fumes or smoke in the cabin. First time I called the dealer they told me that my cabin air filter might need to change. That didn't help. Next time it occurred they told me I should use primiere gas. That didn't help. I have a 2 weeks old baby and scared what these fumes will do. I hope we can fix this before people start passing out and cras from this fumes which causes a dizzy spell. Added to that, my wing mirror adjusts itself even while driving sometimes. This vehicle is still in the development stage and very faulty. Really tired of going to "arrow Ford" as I get no resolution. They had my vehicle for a total of 2 months and none of my concerns addressed
