NHTSA Complaint #10629429 — 2013 FORD EDGE

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION OR WIDE OPEN THROTTLE THE INSIDE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE IS OVER COME BY AN EXHAUST LIKE SMELL. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SINCE IT WAS NEW, THINKING IT WAS FROM THE ENGINE BREAKING IN I NEVER THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT IT. NOW AFTER MORE THAN SIX MONTHS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE AND MORE THAN 8,000 MILES, THIS IS MORE THAN NEW CAR BREAK IN SMELL. THE SMELL OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME UNDER HARD ACCELERATION OR WIDE OPEN THROTTLE, WITH OR WITHOUT THE AC ON OR IN AC RECYCLE MODE. FROM THE FORUMS THAT I HAVE READ, THE OWNERS OF FORD EDGE'S AND FORD EXPLORER'S WITH THE 3.5L V6 ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT I AM. THE SMELL IS OVERWHELMING TO ALL PASSENGERS THAT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE SMELL IS DANGEROUS TO BREATH IN AND SECOND THAT IT'S VERY ANNOYING TO SMELL ALL THE TIME. *TR
