Consumer Description

IN APRIL 2015, WE PURCHASED A 2015 FORD EXPLORER 3.5 LITER ECOBOOST V-6. FROM THE FIRST DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING HOME WITH OUR NEW CAR. WE HAD AN EXHAUST SMELL ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. EVERY TIME WE ACCELERATE TO GO UP HILLS OF NORTH EAST GEORGIA ENTERING THE INTERSTATE, OR PASSING CARS, WE SMELL EXHAUST FUMES AND HAVE TO ROLL DOWN OUR WINDOWS TO BE ABLE TO BREATH. WE HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER, A "SUPER STORE" , AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS ONLY THE NEW BURNING OFF THE ENGINE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE AND SPENDING THE EXTRA MONEY, THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY! THESE FUMES COULD CAUSE A HEALTH PROBLEM INTERNALLY. PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS...
