Description of the problem | Had the recall done for (fsa 17n03) after the service was done, we have noticed when passing on the freeway or going up hill, hot air blows out the vents then a heavy odor of exhaust. My vehicle also uses e85, so we have ruled out maybe a car in front of us. When using e85 we get a strong smell of alcohol type. We have been to the dealership for the smell, each time they want the windows done or have the a/c on. I tell them we don't drive with it on all the time or have the windows down on the freeway. Every 4-6 months more stories in the news have been coming up with concerns about exhaust smells in the explorer and now ford is redesigned the vehicle. This should be looked at more and maybe with third party engineer. |
