Consumer Description
BOUGHT A USED FORD EXPLORE XLT WITH 32K MILES. AS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE SUV I AM NOTICING THAT WHENEVER I FULLY PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO INCREASE MY ACCELERATION WHETHER I AM MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY, CHANGING LANES OR SCALING A HILL, THE CABIN IS FILLED WITH A STRONG EMISSIONS ODOR. WHICH WORRIES ME BECAUSE I NORMALLY HAVE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. AS I LET UP ON THE GAS PEDDLE THE ODOR DISSIPATES. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ODOR WHEN I HAVE MY MAX A/C FUNCTION ON WHICH IS USING RECIRCULATED AIR.
