My car has 64000 miles on it and was purchased in january 2014. The transfer case has failed and caused massive amounts of fluid to leak from the vehicle. The fluid could be seen on my driveway and my carport floor, and it was an $1850 fix at the mechanic. There was, according to the dealer, a recall for a similar issue with certified pre-owned ford explorers, and they said the transfer case was cracked, along with…

The dealer has replaced the exhaust,added 6 sensors for the a/c resuscitation & sealed up the body at the rear end. The dealer has talked to fords techs & i still have the smell. I have pulmonary fibrosis & my lungs can't be exposed to this.…

I have experience exhaust coming into the cabin of both ford explorers i've owned( 2012 and 2014). The exhaust enters the cabin section through the air condition vents. When passing another vehicle and or when the passing gear is engaged and returning to normal speed the exhaust enters the cabin. I complained to the dealership back on 2012 and nothing was said or done. When normal driving occurs i don't experience…

I have owned a 2014 ford explorer for a year now. When i purchased it, it had 40,000 miles on it so, out of the manufacturers warranty period. Now, every time i get on the interstate or try to pass a slower moving vehicle. There is a strong smell of exhaust that enters the cabin of the suv which results in me getting a headache and my son complaining of his nose burning. I scheduled and took the car in the mullinax…

When accelerating, a strong odor comes from the air vents. The odor lingers and smells very strong, i believe this may be exhaust fumes, as it only happens during acceleration.

When accelerating quickly or going up hill, which causes a higher rpm, a horrible smell comes in the car. It smells like a cross between rotten eggs and burnt hair. After reading other's reports, it could be the exhaust being sucked into the car. It seems to be worse when the rear air is on. This has been happening since we purchased the vehicle new. The dealership does not acknowledge that there is a problem. The…

Reported exhaust fumes in cabin under various conditions february 2017. Went to local ford dealer and had 'repairs' made to correct the problem at that time at a cost of nearly $600. Unfortunately, the problem still exists and it appears to be a similar issue to that being reported in police equiped vehicles..

The dealer had to replace the cracked exhaust, manifold/caralytic converter asmy. I was told that if this was not corrected fumes could get into the car. This is the same problem ford is having with the police explorers. I have heard that ford is paying to have these repair. I wrote to ford and they told me that they would not pay for this. Ford states "ther are no warranties in effect that would provide assistance…
