Ford Explorer

"Strong odor of exhaust fumes entering cabin area."

"Exhaust fumes getting inside vehicle during hard acceleration, was a known problem and widely reported on. Took 5 trips (all under warranty) to the dealership to correct this. After inspecting the work and comparing to procedures to perform in a TSB from Ford found the technicians barely did any of the work and what was done was very poorly down. I made calls to Ford corporate, they sent an engineer down and the problem was fixed after they kept the car for close to two weeks. After this not only will I never get another Explorer, I will NEVER EVER buy anything from Ford the rest of my life. 100% incompetence all the way around, seems more and more companies have zero regard for the consumer anymore, it's all about the almighty dollar....so sad."

"The warning light has something to do with wiring harness under rear passenger seat. It seems to come on after we have raised or lowered the rear passenger seat to allow kids into 3rd seat. It will stay on for a month or so and then go off."

"Air bag warning light came on indicating issue with passenger seat. Ford garage failed to investigate issue in first visit, failed to address issue in second visit, and still occurs today."

"Over a years timeframe, the airbag light would come on intermittently (but the frequency increased signifcantly over time). Researched online and found the problem is common in the 2015 Explorer. When the light comes on, the airbags in the vehicle are disabled (a safety issue). Took the vehicle to the dealer who explained Ford never issued a recall for this known safety issue. Problem was in the wiring harness under the middle seat which had to be replaced. Cost approx $900 to repair. This safety should have been repaired under a recall. At a minimum, Ford should have notified customers that their was a serious safety issue that needed to be addressed before operating the vehicle."

"The electronics are not reliable - navigation cannot always comprehend what you are saying and the resolution takes the driver away from focus of driving! Therefore, use Google Maps on phone instead. Worse that this Is the back driver hatch which sometimes goes up if the key is in pocket without touching it - the alarm activation is also way too sensitive ,going off in pocket if you slightly brush against something."

"Navigation system never worked properly, has never worked properly. It takes old original navigation card and will not except the newer updates that are available.
