NHTSA Complaint #10882559 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

UPON HEAVY ACCELERATION THERE IS A DISTINCT ODOR OF EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. THIS VEHICLE IS A PLATINUM TRIM WITH THE 3.5 LITER V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE. I HAVE 6500 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO PUT THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL OVER FOR FEAR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SUFFERED A FAILURE. I FOUND NO FAULTS IN THE EXHAUST AND CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION. THIS MORNING (7-5-16) WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I ACCELERATED HEAVILY IN AN ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND AGAIN UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST GASES IN THE CABIN.
