Car Stall problems of the 2014 Ford Explorer

When suddenly accelerating to speed over 65 mph , exhaust gas/fumes enter the main cabin, and linger for sometime, until I open all windows to dissipate the fumes. This issue always occur during sudden acceleration. I have taken vehicle to dealer several times and they installed external seals but issue continues, even after the fixes.

Ford Explorer exhaust-leak. My 2014 Ford Explorer first exhibited a strong exhaust leak smells in the cabin about 18 months ago with approximately 18-20,000 miles. The smell was most noticeable after coming to a stop with the car at full operating temperature. Around town it never seems to be present. I took it to loveland Ford and they installed a "kit" which seemed to stop the problem, however it has recently come back stronger than ever. Yesterday, I drove from denver up into the rockies and the problem was particularly bad on the return trip in stop and go traffic to the point I was feeling sick by the time I got home. I have had this before but the circumstances made this particularly unpleasant. So the circumstance when it most often exhibits the strong "rotten egg" smell mixed with exhaust is when the vehicle is at full temperature and comes to a stop.

I am writing to you in regards to physical illness that I have suffered as well as my passengers from my 2014 Ford Explorer police interceptor package. Starting back when I first purchased the vehicle at approximately 59,000 miles, I have experienced an exhaust odor in the cabin shortly after accelerating over 3,000rpms. This issue has been investigated at my local dealership twice, with the technician confirming the smell. After this work was performed, I still to this day am suffering from exhaust fumes and physical illness directly related to my Ford Explorer. All repair orders from involved Ford dealerships are in my possession confirming exhaust fumes are still entering the cabin. From the time I took ownership in October 2016, I have experienced physical illness when driving the vehicle for more than 1 hour at a time. I get extremely lightheaded and nauseated, which has caused me to frequently stop the vehicle and vomit. My passengers in the vehicle have also experienced similar symptoms when riding in the vehicle. When this happens, I stop at a safe location and remove myself to fresh air, and the symptoms soon pass and I am able to drive again. Recently, I have traveled from massachusetts to vermont in my Explorer. The mostly highway driving trip it was me as well as my girlfriend. After around an hour of driving at 60mph, my girlfriend and I were feeling very dizzy and became nauseated, so I opted to stop and relax at a rest stop for fresh air prior to continuing my trip to vermont. I have installed a carbon monoxide detector in my vehicle, which has activated more than one occasion while driving. At this time I am negotiating with Ford's office of general counsel to perform a buyback of my Explorer and replace it with a different vehicle.

Purchased a 2014 Ford Explorer in February 2014, and within weeks of owning the vehicle I started to notice a foul smell entering the cabin immediately after acceleration. If acceleration occurs quickly, with a higher then normal rpm occurring, the smell becomes worse. On three separate occasions, I have taken the vehicle to mac haik Ford in houston for repair. The first two visits were were non-productive, as the dealership claimed they could not reproduce the issue. On the third visit, I asked that they technician go on a test drive with me in the car. This visit finally resulted in an admission from the technician that he could also smell the odor, and they agreed to keep the vehicle and identify the source of the issue. After a few days, I was told that the issue had been corrected by adding an additional vent line towards the rear of the vehicle. Within hours of having the vehicle back, it had become obvious that a permanent fix was not installed, and the odor inside the cabin has continued to occur regularly over the past three years.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and stalled intermittently. The vehicle started only after the battery was charged. The contact also stated that the heating system became inoperable and the check engine, service traction, and battery warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was unable to be started or diagnosed. The dealer diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body failed. The throttle body was replaced and reprogrammed, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 47,412.

While driving on the freeway I needed to accelerate to pass a vehicle and when I did a exhaust smell entered the cab it took about 5-10 seconds after accelerating over 3500 rpms. I have tested this again and again and it happens every time under these conditions. Sitting still there is no effect at all. Five star Ford of plano texas has tried a "TSB" that was issued to install a vent adjustment. They also changed out the cabin filter. Still no luck. Thank you.
