NHTSA Complaint #10883282 — 2015 FORD EXPLORER

I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT FORD EXPLORER EXHAUST ODOR POTENTIAL CONCERNS SENT TO NHTSA. I OWN A 2015 FORD EXPLORER XLT WITH ABOUT 11,500 MILES. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE EXHAUST ODOR IN THE VEHICLE CABIN. IN BOTH INSTANCES THIS OCCURRED DURING NEAR WIDE-OPEN-THROTTLE ACCELERATION WHILE MERGING ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE ODOR IS AN EXHAUST ODOR WITH AN ADDITIONAL "ROTTEN EGG" ODOR CHARACTERISTIC WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF AN OVER-RICH FUEL CONDITION THAT LIKELY OCCURS AT WIDE-OPEN-THROTTLE. I HAVE NOT SMELLED THIS ODOR AT ANY OTHER TIMES, WHICH I SUSPECT IS BECAUSE I HARDLY EVER ACCELERATE SO INTENSELY. I HOPE THIS WILL BE A LITTLE HELPFUL IN YOUR REVIEW OF WHETHER THIS IS AN ISSUE OR NOT. I AM A HAPPY LIFETIME OWNER OF FORD VEHICLES AND I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, SO I AM NOT COMPLAINING,BUT WANTING TO HELP.
