Description of the problem	I am noticing a smell coming out of air vents. Occurring since as far back as i remember but don't recall exact date when i started questioning the smell.. The smell is a burning smell - not electrical but almost like hair/hair dryer when it gets hot. I notice when i accelerate to get on expressways and/or if i'm going up a hill (basically when i go into high gear). My husband was in the car at a time recently and so i asked him if he could smell it and he immediately said it was exhaust coming in through the air vents. I'm not sure if i can smell it more when the air is on and the windows closed but due to allergies and respiratory issues i more times than not drive with windows closed and therefore smell it quite often throughout the year. I am not sure if directly related or not but last two years i drove 12 hours to florida and by the time i go there i had headache and breathing problems and continue to struggle with that more often than i ever have before. I'm worried that this exhaust into my car is magnifying my health issues. Regardless, it is a danger to have this exhaust coming in through the car. I am taking to ford this coming friday. I stopped in to talk to them and they said they were not aware of issues like this. I googled the issue merely as "ford explore exhaust issues" and was shocked and horrified by the fact that it appears very common and that a civil suit was filed in florida. Right now they are saying warranties should cover the fix but i've read where the fix isn't working either. I will see what they say once they have my car but anyone having this problem needs to report it so that it can be rectified by everyone having this vehicle during the years noted in the claims! In just coming to this site alone i see that several others are having same issues. I don't pay this much for a vehicle for it to make me sick!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
