Dash/speedometer went black - heat and air system inoperable - no turn signals - power decreased and power steering not fully functioning. All of this happened when I placed the car in park and realized the radio and interior lights were not automatically shutting off so I restarted the car and still nothing. Dealership recommended disconnecting the battery - this did fix part of the problems but the synch health report is still not showing completlely clear and the check engine light came on then went off after driving a few miles . Concerned if it is safe to drive especially if this is a possible electrical problem - car is just at 23k miles and also had to have throttle body replaced at aroud only 3k miles. Not feling safe in the car at this point.
Car has smelled awful since leasing. Being gassed with carbon monoxide every time I drive it. Took in for recall to varsity Lincoln. They did not address it. Drove car to frankenmuth for thanksgiving dinner 1 1/2 hour ride. Something popped and the most awful gas smell came out and never went away everybody around us could smell it. Dropped it off at tom holzer Ford. They addressed the recall and smell by putting adshesive (tape) and sealant (glue) called and told it it was ready. The smell was not gone took it back 4 days later. Was told the transfer case blew and they would need it for a few days to fix it. Pick up car still smelled awful. Went up north last week. Three hour ride. The first hour I had the back windows open as always cause I know I am being poisoned. The next two hours were pouring rain could no longer drive with windows open. Stopped for gas and groceries. Got out of Explorer and was dizzy, nauseated and my heart hurt couldn't think of what groceries I needed clerk asked if I was ok. Told him not sure what was wrong with me figured it out I was poisoned carbon monoxide.
