2011 Ford Explorer Engine Problems

Burnt exhaust smell in cabin after hard acceleration. The smell is overwhelmingly bad causing nose and eye burning and coughing. To remedy the smell the windows have to be rolled down to air out the cabin.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at various speeds, the engine overheated. The contact stated that the water pump was leaking, and the contact replaced the water pump himself. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was scanned with an ODB scanner an engine overheating code was retrieved. The contact stated that the radiator cooling fan failed to turn on.

My son was on the highway and his Ford Explorer 2011 just stopped, he could have been killed! He was able to get off safely and had car towed. Our mechanic told us today it is the Water Pump leakage and we need to take to Ford. We called Ford and they said at least $5,000 to repair possibly more. This is a huge safety concern when the act can just stop dead on highway. There are no safety recalls on this water pump. My son was lucky to make it off the highway alive.

The internal water pump failed in my 2011 Ford Explorer without any warning signs and the coolant then leaked into my engine causing catastrophic engine failure. We were driving on a busy highway and the Ford Explorer simply started shutting down in the left lane. Nothing would happen when I pushed the gas petal and suddenly all the lights started flashing and heat went to above high. I was barely able to get over to the shoulder as smoke started to come out of the front of the engine. We were extremely afraid of getting hit since the car stalled on the highway only feet from the exit ramp. The car was towed and diagnosed at the Ford Dealership: Internal water pump failed causing engine failure - water mixed with oil. The car received state inspection and oil changed 17 days prior. Paid for engine replacement at the Ford Dealership with costs over $11,000.

The failure reoccurred while test-driving the vehicle to determine if the repair was successful. The vehicle was re-examined and diagnosed that the water pump had failed causing the engine coolant and oil into the engine causing the engine to seize completely. The engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred them to the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 152,000.

There are exhaust gases entering the vehicle cabin. This is primarily at startup, while sitting at idle in traffic and under acceleration. After visual inspection it appears to be coming from a cracked passenger side exhaust manifold. This is an obvious safety issue and I believe it should have been included in TSB 14-0130 but was told my VIN was not included.

Looking into the issue, i found out the waterpump was damaged in which is inside the engine and extremely expensive repairs (3000) dollars or more but the engine has been compromised with alot of coolant into the oil. My car is down and im still paying on it so im in very tough situation and believe the manufacturer should fix this situation.

The contact added coolant in the reservoir; however, the vehicle failed to restart. The contact then called a family member who was able to jumpstart the vehicle; however, after several miles of driving, the failure recurred. The contact coasted the vehicle into a Walmart parking lot where she purchased more coolant; however, the coolant immediately leaked out of the vehicle. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic and it was determined that the water pump had malfunctioned which led to the engine failure. The manufacturer was notified of failure but offered no assistance. The manufacturer referred her to the NHTSA to file a complaint. The vehicle was then towed to another independent mechanic where it remained in their possession and was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 185,000.

DRIVING AT 35 MPH THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND JUST STOPPED. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ALARMS WENT OFF BEFOREHAND. ONCE THE CAR STOPPED, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AN ALARM SOUNDED. WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO FORD. THEY CALLED THIS MORNING AND SAID THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THEY QUOTED $8,000.00. 8 WEEKS AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND THEN THE POWER STEERING ALARM CAME ON. TOOK IT TO FORD AND HAD THE POWER STEERING REPLACED AT A COST OF $1800.00. THEN, LESS THEN 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. AND AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHTS UNTIL THE POWER STEERING WEN OUT. FORD SAID IT WAS BECAUSE MY TIRES HAD LOW TREAD AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY FRONT TIRES, WHICH WE HAD THEM DO. 8 MONTHS AGO, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 3 YOUNG KIDS ON A BUSY ROAD, MY WATER PUMP FAILED AND CATASTROPHICALLY DAMAGED MY ENGINE. MY CAR TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING, WITH NO WARNING. WE WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP. HAD HE HIT MY CAR, WE WOULD HAVE SPUN BECAUSE OF THE FORCE. THE WATER PUMP FAILS AND BECAUSE IT'S INSIDE THE ENGINE, IT DAMAGES THE ENGINE IN SECONDS WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM PUTS PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF KIDS. LEAVES YOU STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGH TRAFFIC STREET. WITHOUT WARNING THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN PREVENT PUTTING OUR LIVES IN DANGER THIS WAY. FORD STATES THAT WATER PUMPS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE AND ITS MANUAL DOESN'T STATE THAT THE WATER PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER CERTAIN MILES. REPAIR SHOP IS QUOTING 6,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED, THE WATER PUMP WAS PLACED ON THE INSIDE OF ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE WATER PUMP FAILED, COOLANT ENTERED THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. JEFFERSON MOTOR CO INC, LOCATED AT 141 LEE ST, JEFFERSON, GA 30549, (706)367-5217, WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $8,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE REACHES 50MPH, I EXPERIENCE HESITATION AND/OR A PUTTING SENSATION THAT CONTINUES UNTIL I ACCELERATE TO 60MPH OR DROP TO 49MPH OR BELOW. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO KOONS FORD OF BALTIMORE FOR SERVICE, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM THE FACT THAT OIL HAS BEEN SEEPING INTO MY AIR INTAKE SYSTEM AND SATURATING MY AIR FILTER. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS DUE TO THE DESIGN FLAW ON THE FACTORY INSTALLED VALVE COVER GASKET. I LEARNED THAT THE ISSUE OCCURS ON SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES INCLUDING 2011-2013 EXPLORERS AS THE DEFECTIVE VALVE COVER WAS USED ON THOSE MODELS AT THE TIME THE VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE EXISTING VALVE COVER REPLACED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED VALVE COVER THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY CREATED TO RESOLVE THE OIL LEAKAGE/OIL SEEPAGE ISSUE. MY AFTERMARKET WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AS THEY DEFINE THE REPLACEMENT PART AS "BETTERMENT" TO THE VEHICLE OR INSTALLATION OF AN UPGRADED PART. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT KOONS, THE VALVE COVER INSTALLED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IS OBSOLETE AND WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE EVEN IF IT WERE STILL AVAILABLE. I MUST HAVE THE NEWLY DESIGNED VALVE COVER INSTALLED IN ORDER TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE, STOP THE OIL FROM SEEPING IN AND AROUND THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM AND THROTTLE BODY AND TO ALSO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR. THE COST FOR THE REPAIRS IS APPROXIMATELY $700. I CONTACTED THE FORD CORPORATE OFFICE AND LEARNED THAT THEY COULDN'T OR WOULDN'T BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS ADVISED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA.

MY 2011 FORD EXPLORER WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE WATER PUMP IMMEDIATELY FAILED. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR WARNING SIGNS. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOT UP AND MY ENGINE SEIZED. THE ENGINE IS UNABLE TO BE TURNED ON AT THIS TIME.

"2011 FORD EXPLORER CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CONCERNS RECALL" ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON MAY 14, 2019 AT HOUSTON, TEXAS I SLEPT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT TO TURN ON. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP AT THE STOP LIGHT BECAUSE I SLEPT OFF BECAUSE OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I HAD NO REASON TO EXPERIENCE SUCH. I WAS ALSO, CONSTANTLY SMELLING FUEL COMING INTO MY 2011 FORD EXPLORER. THE CAR I RAN INTO AND MINE WERE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED. THE POLICE CAME AND WROTE A REPORT ON THE ACCIDENT. ON TWO DIFFERENT MORE OCCASIONS, SAME THINGS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT LUCKILY I DID NOT RUN INTO ANY OTHER CAR OR DAMAGE MY CAR. IT WAS AT THIS JUNCTURE THAT I STARTED TALKING WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS ABOUT MY REPEATED SAD EXPERIENCE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EXPLORER AND WAS INFORMED BY ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS THAT THERE WAS A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON FORD EXPLORER BECAUSE OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CONCERNS. I DIRECTLY VERIFIED AND DISCOVERED IT WAS TRUE. I THEN WASTED NOT TIME TO CALL, MAC HAIK FORD MOTOR COMPANY, HOUSTON, TEXAS AND COMPLAINED ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EXPLORER AND QUESTION WHY I WAS NOT ON TIME, OFFICIALLY INFORMED ABOUT THE 2011 FORD EXPLORER CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CONCERNS RECALL. THEY APOLOGIZED AND ASKED ME TO BRING IN MY VEHICLE TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MAC HAIK, WHERE THE FIXED ONLY THE RECALLS AND NOT THE OVER FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS BODY AND INTERNAL DAMAGES MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED. MY QUESTION NOW IS HOW CAN I GET FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO FIX MY DAMAGED VEHICLE AND THE OTHER VEHICLE I RAN INTO BECAUSE OF THE EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING WHICH I SUFFERED WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EXPLORER, FREE OF CHARGES? *TT *TR CONSUMER STATED CAR WAS REPAIRED, FREE OF CHARGE.

MY 2011 FORD EXPLORER ONLY HAS 104K MILES. IN OCTOBER OF 2018 THE CAR REPEATEDLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WITH NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WHEN I GOT IT TO FINALLY TURN BACK ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THE ANTIFREEZE HAS SPILLED INTO THE ENGINE AND WE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE! I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS INCLUDING THE STEERING LOCK RECALL AS WELL AS NEEDING THE RADIATOR REPLACEMENT IN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF MY PURCHASE. ALSO, NO INDICATION PRIOR TO THOSE INCIDENTS EITHER! I CURRENTLY HAVE THIS CAR SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NO ANSWERS FROM FORD. THE COST TO FIX IS OVER 6K! I NOTICED A RECALL BEING ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER MY MODEL CAR IS NOT INCLUDED! THIS SHOULD INCLUDE ALL FORD VEHICLES.

WE WERE TRAVELING I-26 FROM SC BACK INTO NC AFTER THANKSGIVING. MY CAR DINGED AND SAID COOLANT TEMP WAS TOO HIGH. THANKFULLY I WAS RIGHT AT A REST AREA AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED IN AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. TRIED ADDING COOLANT AND IT POURED OUT THE BOTTOM. HAD MY EXPLORER TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. TURNS OUT THE WATER PUMP BLEW. IN MOST CASES A WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT IS NOT A BIG DEAL. EXCEPT WHOEVER DESIGNED THIS ENGINE WAS NOT THINKING BECAUSE THE WATER PUMP IS INSIDE THE ENGINE. SO EVEN TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP (A PART COSTING LESS THEN $200), THE LABOR MAKES IT AT CLOSER TO $1500. BUT, ALSO, BECAUSE THE WATER PUMP IS INSIDE THE ENGINE, WHEN IT BLEW, COOLANT AND WATER WENT INTO MY ENGINE CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE, MEANING THE WHOLE ENGINE NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SO A CAR WITH 71,000 MILES ON IT NEEDS A WHOLE NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF A WATER PUMP. I AM THANKFUL I WAS IN A POSITION TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE IF THE ENGINE HAD GONE OUT ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE CRASH. IF A WATER PUMP CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE, THAT IS NOT A CAR I WANT TO BE IN WITH MY CHILDREN. DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO US, BUT TO OTHERS TRAVELING NEAR US. FORD NEEDS TO RETHINK THIS DESIGN. NOT ONLY IS IT COSTLY TO REPAIR, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VALVE COVER WAS ALLOWING OIL TO TRAVEL THROUGH A TUBE INTO THE AIR FILTER. THE DEALER (TOWNSEND SALES AND SERVICE, 340 MAIN ST, TOWNSEND, MA 01469) STATED THAT FORD REDESIGNED THE VALVE COVER, WHICH WOULD ELIMINATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE TRUCK OVERHEATED AT 65 MPH I GOT OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND STOP THE TRUCK NEXT THING I NOTICE IS SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD THEN I CALL A TOW TRUCK TO GO TO A LOCAL SHOP NOW THE MECHANIC SAY I NEED A NEW ENGINE,I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE AND THE LABOR THE TRUCK IS NOT EVEN PAY OFF YET, UNBELIEVABLE, NOW THAT I READ UP ON THIS THIS HAPPEN TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BEEN RECALL YET SMH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES ENTERED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. SUMMERVILLE FORD (9700 DORCHESTER RD, SUMMERVILLE, SC 29485, (877) 477-1434) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ITS A KNOWN FACT THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE WATER PUMPS SUDDENLY BREAK WITH NO PRIOR WARNING/SYMPTOM. FLUIDS MIX AS A RESULT, CONTAMINATED FLUIDS MANDATE COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT . FORD MOTOR CO. WILL NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR OFFER ONE BIT OF ASSISTANCE FOR REPAIR COSTS WHEN DEALERSHIPS COULD HAVE OFFERED WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT AS A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ITEM. DEALERSHIP IS NOW ASKING ME FOR $7100.00 TO REPLACE ENGINE WHEN THIS ALL COULD HAVE BEEN CIRCUMVENTED WITH A SIMPLE MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE DEALERS WHO KNOW THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED PRE-OWNED FROM A FORD DEALER WITH A FORD 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH EXPIRED AS OF MY LAST OIL CHANGE) AND I AM STILL PAYING OFF THE VEHICLE ITSELF. FORD HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY "YOU CAN APPLY FOR A FORD CREDIT CARD TO PAY FOR YOUR ENGINE" WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT $7,100.00+ TAX IS CURRENTLY OUTSIDE OF MY LUMP SUM CURRENT BUDGET PARAMETERS. FORD ASSUMES NO LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THESE POORLY MANUFACTURED CARS AND THE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASE THEM ARE SHEER VICTIMS. NEVER WILL ANOTHER FORD BE PURCHASED WITHIN MY FAMILY AGAIN IF THEY DO NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND OFFER SOME FORM OF ASSISTANCE FOR THIS ALL TOO COMMON MALFUNCTION.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHEN ACCELERATING THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS OF ROTTING EGGS. FROM TIME TO TIME IT IS SMELT WHEN SITTING AT AND IDLING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH OUR 2011 FORD EXPLORER.

MY 2011 FORD EXPLORER LOST POWER EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE DID NOT DIE THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE PANEL. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND IT RESTARTED. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T GET ANYTHING TO REGISTER. I PICKED THE CAR UP ANYD BEFORE I MADE IT HOME IT LOST POWER AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY STILL COULDN'T GET ANYTHING TO REGISTER.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER AND THEN IT STALLED 4 TIMES IN ONE DAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED. I BORROWED A CODE READER AND THE CODE P2111 APPEARED. I GOOGLED THIS AND IT SHOWS THROTTLE BODY. EACH TIME I LOST POWER IT DID NOT DIE BUT RAN ROUGH. WHEN I RESTARTED IT WAS A LITTLE HESITANT TO START. AT FIRST IT HAPPENED WHEN I ACCELERATED AFTER GOING AT A LOW SPEED BUT THEN IT HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH.

BAD BURNING SMELL UNDER ACCELERATION TO HIGHWAY SPEED COMING FROM AIR VENTS. OIL WAS FOUND IN THE AIR FILTER HOUSING AND PIPING NEAR MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, AN ODOR OF EXHAUST OCCASIONALLY ENTERED THE VEHICLE.

AFTER HARD ACCELERATION AND LET UP EXHAUST SMELL GETS IN THE COMPARTMENT TO THE POINT YOU HAVE ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR IT OUT FORD HAS TRIED TO FIX IT THEY HAVE A SERVICE.

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2011 EXPLORER, I HAVE JUST REPLACE THE COOLANT FAN ON JUNE 20,2015. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE FAN HAS QUIT WORKING ENTIRELY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT AND REQUIRED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. REQUESTED FORD TO REIMBURSE COST OF MOST RECENT REPAIR.

THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. WHILE DRIVING AN INDICATION OF A MALFUNCTION IN THE AWD SYSTEM SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD & SYNC COMPUTER. THE ENGINE LOSES COMPLETE POWER AND YOU MUST PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO RESET THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER. THIS LOSS OF POWER HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS AT GREAT RISK OF CAUSING SERIOUS ISSUES TO OTHER TRAFFIC. NOT TO MENTION WHEN I HAVE MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ROSNER FORD DEALERSHIP IN KING GEORGE VA (THEY COULDN'T FIND A ISSUE 4 FOUR TIMES NOW). IT HAPPENS WITH FREQUENT AND UNREGULAR INTERVALS. I HAVE REPEATEDLY WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX. THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY (THROUGH MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT) SEEMS AS IF THEY DON'T CARE EVEN WHEN I EXPRESSED THE SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THE COMPUTER PROBLEM IS A BIGGER THING THAN REALIZED. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP IN GETTING ADD TO THE COMPLAINT LIST SO FORD WILL FIX THE PROBLEMS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AS I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY, I ACCELERATED TO REACH THE SAME SPEED OF THE TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE REVVED OVER 3500 RPM. MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON AND SET TO RECIRCULATE THE AIR. SHORTLY AFTER MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I SMELLED EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN OF MY CAR. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH, WARNING COMES ON THE CONSOLE "AWD IS OFF" AND THE ENGINE IS DOWN TO IDLE SPEED (~800 RPM). PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR RESULTS IN NO SPEED INCREASE, FORCING ME TO MOVE ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITH ONLY THE BRAKES WORKING (NO CONTROL OVER MY SPEED, OTHERWISE). PULLED OVER, STOPPED THE ENGINE, LOOKED AROUND AND COULD SEE NO EXTERNALLY VISIBLE PROBLEMS (FLUID LEAKS, ETC.). START THE CAR AND THERE ARE NO WARNINGS, SO I CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD, BUT THIS TIME STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE AND KEEP THE SPEED TO AROUND 60. LESS THAN 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS. AT THIS POINT WE CALL FORD TO GET US A TOW. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS EVENT TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAD THE EXPLORER FULL WITH MY FAMILY! TODAY THE SERVICING DEALER CALLED AND SAID IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. BEING THAT THIS IS THE 2ND TIME OUR 2011 EXPLORER HAS LEFT US STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT WAS TIME TO GO SEARCHING FOR OTHERS WITH THIS SAME THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. TURNS OUT THERE IS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTICE ALREADY BEING DONE BY FORD FOR SEVERAL OTHER 2011 VEHICLES, BUT THE EXPLORER HAS BEEN EXCLUDED. OUR SYMPTOMS AND PART FAILURE ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THESE OTHER MODELS, SOME EVEN FROM THE SAME ASSEMBLY PLANT. I THINK FORD NEEDS TO EXTEND THE 13N03 PROGRAM TO INCLUDED THE EXPLORERS. THANK YOU. *JS

LIKE MANY OTHER 2011 - 2014 FORD EXPLORERS, MY 2011 EXPLORER LIMITED APPEARS TO HAVE A DESIGN FLAW THAT ALLOWS EXHAUST TO ENTER THE CABIN UNDER HARD ACCELERATION (I.E. USING AN ON-RAMP, PASSING VEHICLES, ETC.). WHETHER THAT A/C IS ON OR NOT, THESE NOXIOUS TOXINS FILL THE CABIN. THE CONCERN IS THAT IF EXHAUST GETS IN UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, IT WOULD SEEM LOGICAL THAT SMALL AMOUNTS ARE ENTERING AT ALL TIMES. THIS POSES A SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK TO THE OCCUPANTS. FORD FAILED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE, SAYING IT DIDN'T EXIST UNTIL LAST YEAR (2012) WHEN THEY RELEASED A TSB TO "FIX" IT. FOR MOST (PER AN EXPLORER FORUM I BELONG TO), THE FIX WAS TEMPORARY OR DIDN'T WORK. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES, AT ONE POINT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, AND THE PROBLEMS STILL EXISTS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THEM FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

DURING HARD ACCELERATION ONTO A HIGHWAY OR FROM A STOP, THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE FILLS WITH THE ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME AND IS NOT RANDOM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE KEY NOT DETECTED WARNING MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME WHERE SHE RECEIVED DIRECTIONS FROM THE DEALER OVER THE PHONE IN HOW TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INSTALLED WITH A NO MECHANICAL KEY START SYSTEM. THE IA KEY FAILED, WHICH LEFT THE CONSUMER STRANDED. THE NO KEY DETECTED ALERT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE KEY WAS FIXED. HOWEVER, THE ERROR MESSAGE REMAINED ON THE DASHBOARD. ALSO, THE ENGINE OVERHEATED.

WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN, THE CAR ACCELERATED UP A HILL REACHING A SPEED OF CLOSE TO 90 MPH WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE. THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH AN ONCOMING CAR. ONLY BY PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL WAS IT POSSIBLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. ONCE OFF THE ROAD THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN IN THE 6000 TO 7000 RPM RANGE. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO SLOW DOWN THE ENGINE SPEED. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT THESE HIGH RPM. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALER THAT EVENING (INCIDENT OCCURRED IN THE EVENING). THE NEXT MORNING, I WENT TO THE CAR DEALER AND STARTED THE CAR. IT RAN FINE. FORD DID REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE BUT WE ARE CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

COOLING FANS FAILED, ENGINE OVERHEATED RAN ROUGH AND THEN STOPPED RUNNING. 3/4 GALLONS OF ANTI-FREEZE BOILED OUT OF OVERFLOW AND ON TO ENGINE. *TR
