Windshield trim molding item detachment investigation # PE23001
On january 27, 2023, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe23-001 to investigate allegations of a-pillar trim panel detachment on model year (my) 2011-2019 ford explorer vehicles. At the time of opening, the office had received 164 vehicle owner questionnaires (voqs) reporting this failure. Odi has received 671 voqs regarding this failure, including 1 alleged crash and 2 alleged injuries. Some consumers have reported that the failure occurred while they were driving at highway speeds, with the detached trim panel entering the path of travel of the vehicle behind them, requiring the driver of the following vehicle to take evasive action. It is noteworthy that motorists who experience this type of road hazard are less likely to accurately identify the subject vehicle the item detached from and report the event to the nhtsa. In its april 17, 2023 response to odi’s information request, ford provided 175 consumer complaints (including field reports) and 14,162 warranty claims related to a-pillar trim panel detachment. Ford relayed that the subject vehicles utilize a plastic a-pillar bracket, which is bolted to the vehicle structure during assembly. The a-pillar trim panel is attached to the bracket utilizing 7 plastic clips. Contributory factors which have been identified by ford as leading to the subject defect include incomplete installation at the assembly plant, inadequate part stack up, damage to fasteners during installation, and failure to follow proper repair procedure during windshield replacements or other services. On january 19, 2024, ford filed safety recall 24v-031 for my 2011-2019 ford explorer vehicles to address the subject defect. In the part 573 safety recall report, ford identified that a detached a-pillar trim panel can create a road hazard for other road users, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall remedy includes an inspection of the existing a-pillar trim panel and, if necessary, the replacement of the component. The remedy a-pillar trim panels will be installed with an additional adhesive for robustness and utilize an inspection procedure to ensure full engagement of all the retention clips during installation. In view of the recall action being taken by ford, odi is closing this preliminary evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the reports cited in the closing resume odi report identification number document, go to nhtsa.Gov.

Exhaust odor in passenger cab investigation # EA17002
Odi opened preliminary evaluation (pe) 16-008 in july of 2016 after receiving 154 vehicle owner questionnaire (voq) reports reporting exhaust odors in the vehicle occupant compartment of model year (my) 2011 to 2015 ford explorers, which included one low speed crash event without injury.During the course of the pe, odi identified additional voq reports concerning the exhaust odor issue, totaling 791 as of this writing.The complaints cover my 2011 to 2017 explorers.Eleven of the reports involve police interceptor vehicles, as do two other non-voq incidents odi identified during pe16-008.Overall, odi has identified three crash events and 25 injury incidents citing a total of 41 injuries.The alleged injuries, as affirmatively indicated on the voq reports, range from unspecified to loss of consciousness, with the majority indicating nausea, headaches, or light headedness.One police incident alleged a crash with related injuries, and a second police incident reported a physiological injury allegedly from carbon monoxide (co) exposure.Another reported police incident resulted in a rollover crash event with injuries.The ford reports cited above were provided in the company?S august 24, 2016 response to an odi information request letter sent during pe16-008.Therein, odi identified 2400 reports (485 owner complaints, 1254 warranty claims, 606 dealer field reports, 55 legal claims), involving 2,051 unique vehicles, that appear to relate to the exhaust odor issue, and include 123 reports that are duplicative of the voq reports.A number of the ford reports also discussed health effects similar to the voqs, specifically nausea and headaches.During the pe, working in conjunction with nhtsas vehicle test and research center (vrtc) in east liberty, ohio, odi has tested multiple vehicles, including complaint vehicles.Additionally, odi has conducted field inspections of complaint vehicles and crashes involving police units that occurred while the officers were on-duty.When possible, data has been collected to quantify carbon monoxide (co) levels in the examined vehicles.During this engineering analysis (ea), the vrtc testing efforts and field inspections will continue.To date, no substantive data or actual evidence (such as a carboxyhemoglobin measurement) has been obtained supporting a claim that any of the alleged injury or crash allegations were the result of carbon monoxide poisoning, the alleged hazard.Odi has obtained preliminary testing that suggests, however, that co levels may be elevated in certain driving scenarios, although the significance and effect of those levels remains under evaluation as part of the ea.Ford has issued multiple tsbs related to the exhaust odor issue, and in some cases revised those documents multiple times to provide dealership technicians with procedures to address complaints raised by consumers and police fleets.Concerns over the effectiveness of the procedures have been raised by vehicle owners in some cases.During the ea, odi will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the tsbs.Through cooperation with police agencies, odi recently learned that the police interceptor version of the ford explorer is experiencing exhaust manifold cracks, which appear to present a low level of detectability, and may explain the exhaust odor.During the ea, the root cause, frequency, and safety consequence of these manifold cracks will be evaluated, as will the extent to which non-police ford explorers are experiencing cracked exhaust manifolds.

Exhaust odor in passenger cab investigation # EA17002
During the ea17-002 investigation, the agency reviewed and analyzed reports of exhaust odors in the passenger cabins of model year 2011 to 2017 ford explorers. This investigation required an approach that incorporated knowledge and expertise from the automotive, medical, environmental health, and occupational safety fields. The agency conducted an in-depth investigation that encompassed the review of over 6,500 consumer complaints, conducting field inspections, and testing the relevant vehicles, both independently and in coordination with ford and other entities. During the investigation, the evolution of ford service bulletins intended to reduce the level of exhaust odors and carbon monoxide (co) entering the occupant compartment was examined and independent tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the final field service actions (fsa) for both consumer and police vehicles were conducted. As part of the investigation, the agency also examined the effects of cracked exhaust mani-cats on the measured co levels in the vehicles and tested the fsa repairs to ensure they did not adversely impact occupant compartment co levels resultithe investigation identified upfitting issues for police interceptor vehicles. Upfitting (sirens, lights, cages, auxiliary power, etc.) is typically performed by governmental fleet operations, independent repair facilities, or local ford dealers after the sale of the new vehicle. Sealing issues caused by upfitting were responsible for the highest measured carbon monoxide levels in tested vehicles.The police fsa instructs how to inspect the quality of the vehicle upfits and how to properly seal any leaks caused by these upfits, at no cost to the police agency. Similarly, the highest co levels measured in consumer vehicles were usually traced to sealing issues caused by rear crash damage where the repairs did not ensure sealing integrity. The most recent ford fsa procedure for both the police (17b25) and consumer vehicles (17n03) includes an hvac reprogramming operation. Tests by ford and nhtsa have demonstrated a substantial reduction of co levels due solely to the hvac reprogramming. Other fsa repairs also demonstrated measurable contributions to co level reductions during controlled tests.Throughout the investigation, vehicles accurately measured with higher levels of carbon monoxide were almost always affected by upfitter alterations, damage, or other causes compromising rear passenger cabin seals.Nhtsa received thousands of reports alleging odors which triggered a variety of physiological responses, predominately nausea, headaches, and lightheadedness. Nhtsa focused the investigation on accurately measuring vehicle co levels, and accurately measuring carboxyhemoglobin (cohb) levels from properly administered blood tests. Using rigorous test methods to produce exhaust gas intrusion in vehicles with a properly performed fsa, occupant compartment co levels remained below current environmental limits for co in any environment (epa ambient air quality standards).Furthermore, even without fsa repairs, no vehicles unaffected by upfitter issues or prior crash damage were identified with co levels that exceed accepted occupational co exposure levels.This investigation finds that the 2011-2017 ford explorer vehicles when accurately measured produce occupant compartment co levels which fall below current accepted health standards, and could not identify cohb levels for vehicle drivers or other occupants, which exceeded thresholds for acute physiological effects. Therefore, the agency has not identified a defect that represents an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.This investigation is closed. The

Exhaust odor in passenger cab investigation # EA17002
During the ea17-002 investigation, the agency reviewed and analyzed reports of exhaust odors in the passenger cabins of model year 2011 to 2017 ford explorers. This investigation required an approach that incorporated knowledge and expertise from the automotive, medical, environmental health, and occupational safety fields. The agency conducted an in-depth investigation that encompassed the review of over 6,500 consumer complaints, conducting field inspections, and testing the relevant vehicles, both independently and in coordination with ford and other entities. During the investigation, the evolution of ford service bulletins intended to reduce the level of exhaust odors and carbon monoxide (co) entering the occupant compartment was examined and independent tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the final field service actions (fsa) for both consumer and police vehicles were conducted. As part of the investigation, the agency also examined the effects of cracked exhaust mani-cats on the measured co levels in the vehicles and tested the fsa repairs to ensure they did not adversely impact occupantcompartment co levels due to cracked mani-cats.The investigation identified upfitting issues for police interceptor vehicles. Upfitting (sirens, lights, cages, auxiliary power, etc.) is typically performed by governmental fleet operations, independent repair facilities, or local ford dealers after the sale of the new vehicle. Sealing issues caused by upfitting were responsible for the highest measured carbon monoxide levels in tested vehicles. The police fsa instructs how to inspect the quality of the vehicle upfits and how to properly seal any leaks caused by these upfits, at no cost to the police agency. Similarly, the highest co levels measured in consumer vehicles were usually traced to sealing issues caused by rear crash damage where the repairs did not ensure sealing integrity. The most recent ford fsa procedure for both the police (17b25) and consumer vehicles (17n03) includes an hvac reprogramming operation. Tests by ford and nhtsa have demonstrated a substantial reduction of co levels due solely to the hvac reprogramming. Other fsa repairs also demonstrated measurable contributions to co level reductions during controlled tests.Throughout the investigation, vehicles accurately measured with higher levels of carbon monoxide were almost always affected by upfitter alterations, damage, or other causes compromising rear passenger cabin seals.Nhtsa received thousands of reports alleging odors which triggered a variety of physiological responses, predominately nausea, headaches, and lightheadedness. Nhtsa focused the investigation on accurately measuring vehicle co levels, and accurately measuring carboxyhemoglobin (cohb) levels from properly administered blood tests. Using rigorous test methods to produce exhaust gas intrusion in vehicles with a properly performed fsa, occupant compartment co levels remained below current environmental limits for co in any environment (epa ambient air quality standards). Furthermore, even without fsa repairs, no vehicles unaffected by upfitter issues or prior crash damage were identified with co levels that exceed accepted occupational co exposure levels.

Front brake hose failure investigation # EA15005
On april 29, 2015, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe15-017 to investigate a report alleging incidents of front brake hose failure in model year (my) 2015 ford explorer police interceptor vehicles used by the sacramento police department in its pursuit driving training program (voq 10705832).On september 28, 2015, odi upgraded the investigation to an engineering analysis (ea15-005) to assess maximum front caliper crimp temperatures under various test conditions, test hose assemblies removed from police interceptor service for any signs of thermal degradation, and further assess field data for evidence of a defect trend related to the alleged defect.The alleged defect results from exposure to extremely high heat at the caliper-side hose crimp. Nhtsa’s vehicle testing suggests that the conditions necessary to produce the critical temperatures in the subject components result from drive-soak intervals that can occur during the sacramento training program.Nhtsas testing of hose assemblies returned from police interceptor service did not identify any evidence of thermal degradation.Nhtsa has not confirmed any incidents of caliper crimp failures due to overheating in vehicles not subjected to the sacramento training course driving.The low number of hose assembly failure reports and the absence of any verified incidents of heat related front brake hose crimp failures since 2015 suggests that the sacramento pd incidents resulted from conditions unique to the training program.A safety related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.For additional information, see the closing report in the document file for ea15-005 on www.Nhtsa.Gov.

The headlights in my ford explorer 2014 are extremely dim. The road is poorly lit in front and cannot see anything on the sides. This has been a problem since i purchased the vehicle. I just missed hitting a pedestrian on the side of the road. I was in a residential area and only going 20 mph. It is extremely dangerous and a large safety concern.

My wife was driving on the highway and lost power steering completely!! The power steering assist light came on. She almost lost control of the vehicle! She was able to manage it off the highway. We had the car towed to the dealership. They had said that the power steering gear had failed! After researching the problem, i was shocked to see this issue is not an anomaly. There was a recall on this issue for 2011 - 2013, but not for 2014. Yet, the complaints and horror stories for the 2014 model still continue. I called ford and they documented my call (#cas32404801) and suggested that we submit a claim from the dealership to ford after the repar. I am really dumbfounded as to why this frightening issue with the steering has not been fixed!!!!

Hello, my car currently has an open recall that needs to be remediated it has been issued since oct 30, 2020. This is the second recall to resolve an outstanding issue with my cars rear toe link 20s62/20v675. On three separate occasions i have attempted to get this remediated with three dealerships turning away servicing my vehicle due to lack of parts. I filed a complaint with the ford corporate office to report what i would consider unfair trade practice and consumer right violations as these dealerships seem to be able to conduct the work however are turning away the recalls either to prioritize paying jobs. This leaves myself as a consumer with a lingering risk, exponential exposure to harm when operating my vehicle. Ford company is willfully aware of the situation and have not addressed this matter. I submitted another escalation today due to being turned away for a 3rd time. Keep in mind that i have requested to be contacted when parts have been available or if the parts can be ordered and neither of these requests have been met. I am aware that we are coming off the heels of the covid pandemic and these dealerships might be short staffed, so they are being directed to avoid recall resolution.

While driving down the road a message popped up that said: fault service required, service advancetrac, and terrain system fault. The vehichle lost power steering unexpectedly and was very difficult to maintain on the roadway. I pulled over and shut off my vehicle and when i restarted it the power steering was back. I have seen that this is a common issue with the 2014 ford explorer and it seems to be the same type of power steering system as the other years that have been recalled but the 2014 has been left out. I would just like to report this as i feel it is a very big safety issue if someone is driving in a turn when this happens or are not in a spot they can pull over when it happens. Thank you for your time.

We were returning from a visit with my son in ohio. Suddenly a notice appeared on the dashboard about steering control and it was extremely hard to turn the wheel. We tried several methods suggested to correct the problem such as disconnecting the battery and also checking the fuses but no success. Since it appeared i could drive the vehicle, we drove home but had to really work at steering. We finally arrived back at our home without further incident other than being extremely tired from turning the steering wheel. It was like driving a car which was never equipped with power steering but even harder. After returning home, i took the vehicle to the local ford dealership. They checked the vehicle and said the steering column had to be replaced. Total cost is going to be $2384.73 plus tax.

Electrical power steering pump in failure. It's hard to steer and steering wheel gets stuck in a certain position. My wife wife was heading into oncoming traffic, it allowed the steering to free up and be corrected right before she could have hit another vehicle head on. It is headed to our local dealership for a recall this week and we plan on having them confirm this, if we make it there. The bad part is there was no warning or dash indication light to let us know this was in failure and could have seriously hurt my wife and or kids if they were in the vehicle.
