Consumer Description

STRONG BURNING SMELL INSIDE OF VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING. THE SMELL IS SO STRONG IT WILL MAKE YOU NAUSEOUS, REQUIRING ME TO PULL OVER AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED IT WAS THE UNDERCARRIAGE COATING BURNING OFF. I AM NOW AT 5500 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND THE SMELL CONTINUES TO PERSIST. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD MOTOR HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL IN RECTIFYING THIS PROBLEM OR FINDING THE CAUSE OF THE SMELL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I HAVE TO ACCELERATE, ON A DAILY BASIS.
