Consumer Description
3-5 SECONDS AFTER A HARD ACCELERATION (NEAR OR AT FULL THROTTLE), THE CABIN FILLS WITH A STRONG, BURNING FLUID SMELL. I CANNOT PIN POINT THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL BUT IT HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN MOTION UNDER HARD ACCELERATION ON ANY TYPE OF STREET. I USE 93 OCTANE AND FULL SYNTHETIC MOTORCRAFT 5W-30. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR FOR AN UNKNOWN NOISE AND I WAS TOLD THE EXHAUST WAS SLIGHTLY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS DID NOT FIX THE NOISE AND THE SMELL HAS REMAINED AS WELL.
