Consumer Description
I DRIVE MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER MORE THAN 80 MILES A DAY, MOSTLY IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. I HAVE NOTICED A STRONG ODOR THAT RESEMBLES MERCAPTAIN OR BURNING FUEL. I HAVE DISMISSED THIS AS TRAFFIC RELATED AND SWITCHED THE A/C TO RECIRCULATE BUT OFTEN HAVE TO VENT BY ROLLING DOWN WINDOWS. THIS IS MOST COMMON WHEN DRIVING WITH THE A/C ON DURING HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS.
