Consumer Description
I HAVE FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCED A STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST AND/OR BURNING OIL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS OFTEN OCCURS WHEN THE A/C IS RUNNING AND/OR UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION OR CLIMBING STEEP GRADES. I HAD MENTIONED THIS A FEW TIMES TO 2 LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS AND WAS ADVISED BY ONE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF POSSIBLE ISSUES INVOLVING A CHEMICAL OR "PROPANE" SMELL, BUT NOT EXHAUST FUMES. THE OTHER HAD NO KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE.
