Bought this car brand new and for about the first 2 months it was great. Then it started to smell like rotten eggs or sulfur in the cabin of the car when i begin to accelerate. Usually between 50-75 it can get pretty bad. Doesn't do it every time but when it does it stays in the cabin for several mins and have to roll the windows down to get the smell out. I am 8&1/2 months pregnant and have a 6 yr old that is…

Toxic smell - immediately after taking delivery on a new 2018 ford explorer limited, i became quite ill due to the toxic smell in the cabin. The smell is not an exhaust smell. It's basically a smell from the carpeting or seats, or a combination of both. Headache, sore throat, fuzziness of the eyes and just a sick feeling every time i get in it. I've tried to keep the windows down, the panaramic moon roof open as…

I have been smelling exhaust fumes/rotten egg smell in my car when accelerating up to 60mph. 1st time in shop they said bolts were missing on engine and some were loose.; they 'fixed' it. Still smelled exhaust fumes/rotten eggs, so took car back. They said fuel got in the fuel filter but they 'fixed' the problem. No still smell exhaust/rotten eggs. Took back for 3rd time they had my car for a month and they replaced…

I traded in my 2014 ford explorer because they could not fix the exhaust smell entering the cabin when excellerating or climbing hills. It causes carbon monoxide to enter the cabin which can make you sick or lightheaded . This occurs when the interior vent button is used the circulate the air in the cabin. Well my 2028 still has the same problem. There was a lawsuit in florida over this issue. Apparently it is a…

As soon as we drove our brand new ford explorer off the lot it had a terrible shake, we thought it was flat spots from the car sitting at the dealer. However the shake got increasingly worse the closer we got to home to the point where we had to remove our drink from the cup holder because they were shaking so bad. Within a week we had back at the dealer to try and solve the issue without any luck. We have car at…

Every time i start my car and turn on the air conditioner it smells like sulfur in the cabin of the car. It is so scary to think that carbon monoxide might be sleeping in the car and be life threatening to my self and my kids and wife. The reason i bought the this car is to be safe, not to potentially be killed! I'm so disappointed and wish i knew this problem before i became stuck with this disaster.

The car intermittently wreaks of gas fumes (not carbon monoxide) on the inside of the care. This primarily happens between 1/4 to to a full gas tank. The smell always occurs after a gas fill up. The gas tank is never overfilled. It also happens when taking a sharp turn after a stop sign/light, and when braking swiftly. Living in a northern climate, the gas smell gets to be so bad, that windows need to periodically…
