Description of the problem	I bought my 2014 ford explorer in november of 2015. I noticed a rotten egg/ exhaust smell as the weather became warmer. Anytime i would accelerate up a hill or accelerate on a flat stretch of road during the summer months was when the smell is the worst. I have to roll down all of the windows. I no longer allow my children to ride in the third row because they would complain on the longer car rides of having a headache. I have taken this to the dealership on 3 occasions now. They have told me they have tried to reproduce my complaint, and have failed to do so. I am currently going to that the service manager on a ride tomorrow to reproduce this smell. The smell has been so bad at times that i personally have felt like i was going to be sick. There is something seriously wrong with the explorers having this smell. Something needs to be done. I am at the point that i do not put my kids in my car anymore then i have to. I have had to apologize on several occasions to my friends about the smell. Ford needs to figure this out!!
