There are often issues with the radio and heating system. Radio turns on and off by itself and so does the heat and air conditioning. In addition, I have complained about something making me dizzy and nauseous in the vehicle. In informed the finance company regarding my inability to breath, for which I was hospitalized. I have been hospitalized on numerous occasions since the purchase of the vehicle and have informed the finance. Furthermore, they have been additional hospitalizations in 2018, for which I will have to upload the documents at a later time.

An odor of exhaust fumes was not experienced however car automatically turned itself to ac and cold air came in on its own prior to departure. I shut all climate functions off and rolled down all windows, I was very cold so rolled I up 3 windows and heated seats and heater 10 min from dealership. Then again accessory air kicked on access I began having I began experiencing blurred vision and lightheadedness I rolled down all windows. I arrived at Ford service and VIN lookup was performed and I was told there was a recall for carbon monoxide concerns. I was driven to hospital and again treated for acute carbon monoxide poisoning and admitted for administration of 10 liters on a breathing masks for 6 hours this time.

I have had ongoing issues with smelling an exhaust type smell upon accelerating my vehicle with an increase in RPM. Whenever this happens I roll down the window to avoid the fumes. I previously notified Ford dealership in columbia mo by telephone shortly (2 months after purchase) regarding the exhaust fumes and was told not to worry levels were low enough not to cause a problem. 6 months later my father again took my car to dealership and again said no recall on my vehicle and not to be concerned I have had headaches, visual blurring and dyspnea sporadically since ownership. On March 22nd, 2019 I was driving to a routine drs appointment located 10 miles from my home. I pulled out of an intersection and sped up to the 70 mph speed limit and noticed an immediate odor of exhaust type fumes radiating through the car. My heat was on climate control and then turned off on its own and accessory outside air came in. My eyes were burning and my heart rate sped up along with a burning sensation in my nose. By the time I got to the doctor my face and hands were a bright cherry red. The doctor was concerned about my symptoms and ordered a stat arterial blood gas for carbon monoxide poisoning. The results were returned at a critical level of 5.5 L 0.5 to 1.5. and my P02 oxygen content was only 67.1. I received emergency treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning, my carbon monoxide level went down on to 4.2 on 100% rebrreathing mask and 0xygen level went to above 100mmhg.. they would not let me get back in my car and my husband came and drove with windows down home after purchasing a carbon monoxide detector that alarmed within minutes. I do not feel safe at all now knowing that my children and myself have drive much further than 8 miles with unknown levels of carbon monoxide levels I will be happy to forward the medical record of visit of diagnosis of acute cobb poisoning.

When I put my 2015 Ford Explorer in park, I get a message stating that the transmission isn't in park when infact it is. I need to play with the gear shift button or restart the vehicle and keep shifting it from park to drive until the message goes away. The alarm in the vehicle goes off when I get the message that the transmission isn't in park. It started out doing it occasionally, but now it is consistent. This should be covered under warranty or be put on a recall.

- noticed on going foul natural gas smell that after a few minutes give me a headache. Can't drive more than 15 minutes before I need to get out to catch my breath and breathe fresh air. The dealership claims that it's the "ptu" ( not sure waht that is ) and apparently no recall. Why is this dangerous failure not identified for a life safety " recall". I am not sure how many Explorer this is affecting but it can't be just mine....

I've been experience a natural gas smell for the past month. It grows stronger the longer I drive. The smell is interior and exterior. Passengers including my kids have complained of nausea and headaches. I had it repaired at the Ford dealership on 11/20/18. After driving for 5 minutes after the 'repairs' were made, it happened again. The problem continues to persist. I'm not sure what to do about it at this point...

One day my wife and I were driving and we noticed a sulfur/exhaust smell coming in the cabin. The smell came and went. I had a local dealer perform a recall to fix problems associated with this issue. As soon as we got the vehicle back we noticed the smell again. I returned the vehicle back to the dealership.they rechecked all the vents and said it should be fine. Couple days later my wife and I along with our 2 kids in the vehicle had to pull over on the side of the road because the smell was so bad it was burning our eyes.have the vehicle parked and havent drove it since

When I accelerate my vehicle you can smell tge exhaust fumes and I instantly can't breathe, get a headache, nauseated, and after a few minutes I get very sleepy. I have to roll my window down and stick my head out to be able to breathe. It doesn't do it every time but in a 3 hour trip, it happens at least 4 times depending on how much accelerating is happening. If my ac unit is on high then it will automatically go to barely blowing and as I let off the acclerator then it will eventually cycle back to high even though it is on high. It is making me very sick because I'm in my car so much. I have taken to Ford repeatedly, two different dealerships, and they can't get it fixed. Sometimes to get the ac to go back to normal, I have to stop somewhere and turn the car off and back on. This has been happening to me since a few months after I bought the car in Feb 2017. My doctor says the only way to correct problem is to get rid of the car but I don't think it needs to be on the road at all. It'll just make someone else sick too.I started noticing the smell in late April 2017 and it just got stronger and I started taking in to Ford when it started getting really bad. The vehicle had 30000 + miles when I bought it.
