Description of the problem | Strong exhaust smell anytime engine accelerates, such as downshifting when going over an overpass on an interstate highway. Not "hard" acceleration really. I have researched, and know this a common problem, and has been since the "5th gen" explorers came out. I know it has been brought to the attention of nhtsa, and i am just registering my complaint hoping you can get the problem resolved. Thank you. |
