 Description of the problemI purchased my explorer in may of 2014. The first time i accelerated and reached 3000-3500 rpms (a usual passing situation) i experienced a strong exhaust order inside the vehicle. Although not the usual "burning off" smell of a new engine, i initially dismissed the odor as something associated with a new vehicle. After several weeks and many instances of exhaust odor i knew something was wrong. I could not even accelerate up a hill just to keep pace with traffic flow without needing to open windows to eliminate the toxic smell. I first complained to my local ford dealership during a routine service oil change. Some repairs were made in may of 2016.. This repair did nothing to solve problem. So in september 2016 the dealership re-sealed the rear of vehicle. It was fine for two weeks. For a few weeks after that there was a slight exhaust smell but as time has passed there are times when smell is stronger. My husband and i have had explorers since 1992 and loved them and never had any problems. I hate this 2014 explorer!! Please note that i have documentation (receipt/statement from ford dealership). Also note that this is an ongoing problem; therefore, i can't note a specific date. Because the date field is required information i selected june 2014.
