Exhaust fumes fill cabin under hard acceleration. It has happened many times over the past few years, we purchased car new in ~ may 2015. Typically we can limit by accelerating slower than desired, which can be unsafe when entering the highway. After hard acceleration has ended and you maintain steady speed the fumes no longer seem to enter the cabin. Fumes can be very strong and rolling down windows is the only way…

I purchased a 2015 ford explorer and i am experiencing the same exhaust smell issue in the cabin that law enforcement is experiencing.

During the winter time or rainy periods obviously we cannot…

I just read a usa today article concerning the ford explorer and carbon monoxide poisoning. As i read it, i immediately knew this is what sickened my family during our vacation last summer. This happened over our extended travel from fort riley, ks to las vegas, nv. My older son complained of headaches and vomited several times. We could not determine what was wrong with him at the time.

My daughter was driving my vehicle for several months. During this time she had headaches, nausea, and severe fatigue. While driving she passed out at the wheel, ran off the road and hit a guardrail. After a multitude of medical tests we realized that it must have been carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust of my vehicle that caused her to feel bad and then pass out.
