FORD EXPLORER 2015-2016 - Exhaust Fumes

Yep. Even the new ones they sell here have that issue. I test drove the v6 ecoboost version. Anything above 3.5k rpm (just like the v6 version) had that smell.

My dealer has done everything they can. Best advice is to drive it gently.

Bought a v6 beast to drive it gently...go figure.

Smell isnt the only problem. Watch out for the steering issue.

They replaced mine a year ago under warranty since mayroon recall. Nasira ulit this year and it costs P275k daw...yes P275,000 to replace! Fighting to claim warranty. Might go to DTI. Beware!

Telltale sign: grnding feel when turnin and popping noise when turning at low speed.

Mahhirapan na akong mabenta unit ko. Shouldve sold it a year ago. Sigh...

pati daw ba 2005 explorer affected, kasi minsan nakaamoy din ako ng sunog na goma sa loob eh. minsan ko lang madala exp kasi grabe lumaklak ng gas, as 4 times a month. pero tama ba yun carbon monoxide is amoy goma

kung steering issue parang simple lang yan ah. ako dami ko na pinagdaanan pagawa sa lemon explorer ko ngaun fuel rail pressure sensor naman. lagi nga ako tumatakbo naka-Obd dito eh . pero i just considered this car is my learning car. di ko na din binenta.

it runs well except for that obd p0193 code. i plan to dismantle the entire intake manifold as well as throttle controller and hanggang valve cover, clean and replace some gaskets.

join ka na lang sa American fb page about ford explorers, pero kung electronic steering ewan ko goodluck.

Wow! Ford is actually living up to one of its user-imposed acronyms: Fumes and Odors Readily Detectable

I was choosing between the Ford Explorer and Mazda CX9 some years ago, I'm glad that I chose the latter. 5 years and not a single issue except it consumes more fuel.
