NHTSA Complaint #11074235 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

I HAVE NOTICED THERES A BURNING SMELLING FROM HEATER/AC VENTS RIGHT AFTER ACCELERATION FROM VEHICLE BEING STOPPED. I CAN CONFIRM ITS A BURNING SMELL (SIMILAR TO BURNING PLASTIC OR RUBBER). WHEN THE SMELL IS PRESENT, IT FEELS LIKE THERES LACK OF ACCELERATION FROM THE GAS PEDAL. ALMOST LIKE IF THERES A CLOGGED AIR FILTER OR ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION OR EXHAUST. IT FEELS LIKE THAT KIND OF POOR ACCELERATION ISSUE. THE BURNING SMELLS LAST FOR ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE ITS COMING FROM. THE ODOR IS A VERY STRONG ODOR AND I'M WAITING FOR A FIRE TO BREAK OUT SOMEWHERE WHEN THIS ODOR IS PRESENT. I HAVE A SERVICE APPT ON MONDAY, FEB 26 AND HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE FOUND. THE LAST THING I WANT IS TO BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE BREAKS DOWN, LET ALONE CATCHES FIRE FOR SOME REASON.
