NHTSA Complaint #10787074 — 2014 FORD EXPLORER

EXPERIENCING VERY STRONG EXHAUST / SULFUR SMELL IN CABIN AREA UPON MEDIUM TO HARD ACCELERATION. BOUGHT CAR IN SPRING OF 2014 AND NOTICED IT WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OR TWO. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES THIS WITH NO ONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. IT OCCURS WHEN YOU PASS SOMEONE OR GO UP A STEEP INCLINE. WHEN TOWING MY BOAT THE SMELL IS UNBEARABLE AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN, BUT EVEN WITH THAT IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET THE SMELL OUT OF THE CABIN. SITUATION OCCURS WITH THE FRESH AIR VENTS ON AND/OR THE RECIRC AIR ON ' VENT SETTING DOESN'T MATTER. I'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF GETTING THIS LOOKED AT SINCE IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE FIX, BUT SINCE THE CAR NOW HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT, I WANT IT TO GET CHECKED OUT BEFORE WARRANTY IS UP. IT IS ALARMING THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS HAZARDOUS/DEADLY SITUATION THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR A BETTER FIX THAN THE TSB.
