Noxious exhaust fumes are pouring into the cabin of the vehicle whenever the heat or a/c is running and are particularly noticeable when the vehicle is in motion. Noxious fumes are detectable by human sense of smell, and the noxious fumes increase in volume as the vehicle increases in speed.

Vehicle is two months old. Since pickup vehicle has had a smell of rotten eggs. More recently, i've been getting a reverb sound (like one window is cracked) which i can feel is due to a poor seal on the drivers door. When it was very cold here with 40mph winds i actually felt wind come in the door-seal. While the rotten egg smell subsided, i get an exhaust fume smell when parked near building rear-ways in, such as…

Scott peterson motors of sturgis completed the 17n03 service on this vehicle in order to repair the problem of exhaust odor in the cabin. However the intermittent exhaust odor is still present. Also turned on a co meter and got a reading of 114 ppm of co while driving. Surprising that we got such a high reading at a time when we did not smell the exhaust odor at that time. Wife still has a headache all day long…

There's exhaust fume in the cabin my wife has suffered severe headache after 60 mins of driving included my 20months old baby. My car has already been repaired once and is in the shop again because i left a co2 senors in back seat and has gone off multiple times. Ford is not being very helpful because i don't want the car anymore. It is a huge safety concern and i don't want my wife and toddler in the vehicle at all.

When the vehicle is being accelerated, a strong odor of sulfur or "rotten eggs" consumes the cabin of the suv. This has occurred when the air system is in all modes, including when turned off. It is apparent that exhaust fumes are entering the cabin when driving the vehicle and endangering all passengers. The vehicle has spent two weeks at a ford dealership for repairs on this issue (reprogrammed climate control,…

I drove home from work on 12/6/2017 at night and was struggling to keep my eyes open and got sick. My wife said she smelled a chemical type smell in the car. We did some research and found that ford acknowledged some explorers have an issue where the exhaust fumes get back into the car. I took…
