Exhaust fumes enter the interior of the vehicle upon acceleration. The dealer states that there is no part to rectify this problem. I am suffering with chronic headaches. Please help!! my next step is to install a carbon monoxide detector in my vehicle.

Vehicle emits odor like sulphur or rotten eggs, possibly carbon monoxide, when accelerating rapidly or unexpectdly. It always happens when accelerating, pressing gas to merge onto highways or to pass cars on highways. I took my Explorer to dealership purchased from several months after purchasing, but was told nothing was wrong. Netween Feb and May 2016 is when I made appointment at dealer for them to take a look. The problem still exists to this day. I roll the window down to let the smell out when it happens.

On acceleration have smell of rotten eggs. Having headaches also. Reported to dealership but saying there are no problems with exhaust fumes. I have reported twice but no word until seeing on cbs issues on other Explorer. Have had this problem since bought the vehicle. Thought at first it was the catalytic converter.

We are experiencing an ongoing smell of exhaust in the cabin of our 2016 Ford Explorer. The smell is noticeable in different conditions, but two conditions seem to always be in place - when accelerating and when the recirculate option is on.

Possible carbon monoxide infiltration. I was sitting in the car with the engine running waiting for my wife while she was shopping. I suddenly got a headache and became dizzy. Went home and headache and dizziness went away after about 2 hours.

The car produces a rotten egg sulfur smell in the passenger cabin while accelerating the engine under moderate to heavy load. The fumes are dangerous and you have to open all the windows to vent the smell from the passenger cabin or I become dizzy and lightheaded from the fumes. There is definitely an exhaust leak that is coming into the passenger cabin when the car accelerates under load.

When I accelerate my Ford Explorer the exhaust fumes are filling the cabin, we are experiencing a rotten egg odor that basically makes you sick. I have taken the vehicle to the Ford dealership 3 times, they attempted to correct the problem but they were not successful. We cannot use the vehicle for long trips last time we try it was very uncomfortable, I got sick with the fumes.

Consistent engine exhaust odors in the cabin after acceleration.

- Manvel, TX, USA

Every time I step on the gas to accelerate quickly, the inside of my car starts to smell like smoke or something is burning. I have to lower my windows for about a minute to clear the air out. It has been going on for months.

My stock (unaltered) 2016 Ford Explorer Sport with ecoboost engine emits a rotten egg, sulfur-like odor into the passenger cabin upon full throttle acceleration. This condition does not occur during normal (less than full throttle acceleration) driving. This condition occurs only during full throttle acceleration and is replicable. This condition has occurred since original purchase in 04/2016 and continues today.

There are exhaust fumes coming into the cabin of this 2016 Ford Explorer. The smell stinks and the gases have made the occupants of the Explorer sick. The dealership has acknowledged the smell. It has had at least nine opportunities to fix the problem, but it has been unsuccessful. Ford is aware of the problem. The exhaust fumes come into the cabin at various times. The problem usually occurs when the rear A/C re-circulation is on and when there is heavy acceleration or going uphill. There have not been any alterations to the Explorer except for the repairs attempted by the dealership. In May 2017, the dealership used tsb 17-0044 to try to stop the fumes from coming into the cabin. Again, it was unsuccessful. It appears the Ford told the dealership to also try tsb 14-0130. That repair did not work either.

Under acceleration, a very strong "rotten egg" odor enters the vehicle's cabin. The odor is so foul that it has at times caused headache and/or a queasy feeling. This happens continuously on and off the highway, only under acceleration.

Purchased 2016 Ford Explorer in April of 2016. Initially, shortly after the purchase, I continually noticed the smell of burning plastic from the engine area after a lot of city driving. I assumed it was the fact the vehicle was new and was still breaking in. Several months went by and I simply became accustomed to it. Read online about plastic bags making that smell sometimes when stuck on the hot exhaust pipes and thought it could be that. Didn't think about it much because it was not overbearing in the cabin. However, as of several weeks ago, smell was getting worse so I mentioned to dealer. They told me it's an exhaust leak. It's taken two weeks to order the parts and get me rescheduled for service and the smell has become much worse since that visit. Wondering if tech loosened exhaust system. Very hard to drive with the windows up - needs constant flow of fresh air. Smells more like "typical" exhaust smell now - inside and outside the vehicle. I drive 30-50 miles in the city each day, so it's a constant smell. Can't park in the garage because odor gets into the house. Just learning that it's an exhaust leak has me worried because I have tolerated this for over a year.

I have been taking this vehicle into the dealership many times since July 2016 for an exhaust smell in the cabin when accelerating and at high speeds and constantly feel dizzy and nauseous when driving the vehicle. I have tried multiple dealerships to fix and they have tried all the tsb's that apply to the 2011-15's, but seem to not work on the 2016. They have resealed the vehicle at least 3 times, replaced the exhaust system, and other parts, and who knows what else they've tried, but still with no resolution. I'm taking it back to the dealership yet again tomorrow, but refuse to take this vehicle back home until the smell is completely gone, which seems to be an impossible feat at this point. I have a case open with Ford, but have not not made any progress with them either (over 6 weeks). Please do what you can to get them to make a recall asap before I become one of those soccer moms that passes out behind the wheel with her kids and dogs in the car and they make a lifetime movie about how my husband can no longer live without us :)
