NHTSA Complaint #10918584 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

I SMELL EXHAUST WHEN PASSING SOMEONE ON OPEN ROAD, OR ENTERING A FREEWAY. I HAVE CALLED FORD MULTIPLE TIMES, AND HAVE AN OPEN CASE. THEY DO NOT RETURN MY CALLS, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE WHERE THEY TELL ME ITS FIXED IT LASTS ABOUT A WEEK AND THE SMELL RETURNS. I RECENTLY HAD IT IN THE SHOP A SECOND TIME AND I SMELL THE EXHAUST AGAIN. I AM NOW CALLING THEM A THIRD TIME DUE TO THIS SMELL, BUT I AM GETTING NO WHERE. THIS CAN NOT BE SAFE FOR ME TO KEEP SMELLING THIS EXHAUST. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, IT WAS NOT A USED VEHICLE.
