NHTSA Complaint #10605097 — 2013 FORD EXPLORER

EVERY TIME I GIVE AN 'OPEN THROTTLE', OR HARD ACCELERATION ON MY VEHICLE THERE IS A FOUL SMELL THAT ENTERS THE CABIN VIA THE AIR CONDITION VENTS. I HAD THE ISSUE LOOKED INTO BY MY FORD DEALER AFTER THE PROBLEM STARTED. THE DEALER ACTED LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE COMPLAINT BUT AFTER READING VARIOUS THREADS ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I'VE LEARNED THAT THE SMELL IS ACTUALLY EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN. FORD ACKNOWLEDGES THE ISSUE BUT STATES THE AMOUNT OF EXHAUST FUMES ARE NOT ENOUGH TO BECOME TOXIC. I AM VERY CONCERNED OF THIS ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
