Got out and the front left suspension was on the ground. No ticket, no nothing because i did not hit anything. Ford has made a decision that is was not a car failure. We ask for the findings of there inspections and was told…

Since we purchased the vehicle in 2014, we are getting exhaust in the cabin of the vehicle, specifically, on longer trips while the car is in motion. The faster and further we drive, the worse it is. We travel from sc to pa (10-12 hours) at least twice per year, and have noticed a strong odor in the car that smells like the exhaust pipe is feeding the exhaust back into the car. During our day-to-day commutes to…

My new 2015 ford explorer xlt produces a very strong exhaust/sulfer smell inside the passenger cabin. The smell is very strong when the vehicle is rapidly accelerated. The dealership has verified the problem and attempted to fix it six different times. Ford knows about these problems, but none of these repairs have reduced the strong odor and noxious fumes inside the cabin.

When accelerating the vehicle a strong exhaust smell fills the cabin. The smell is overwhelming and causes a scratchy sensation in your throat. This is my second explorer (the first was "lemon-lawed" for the same issue). Ford was quick to replace the first vehicle, however not as eager to replace the second. I have a small child and worry about his health and how it is affecting him. Someone really needs to look…
