Description of the problem | There is a reported issue about an exhaust leak inside cabin for ford explorer 2011+ and i found a solution for this issue. I tried to report this to ford but there is no luck, and ford ignored me. The issue is not from the back door or back of the vehicle, it's actually from the front. There is two issues actually who causing this, one is the hood rubber that located near to fresh air intake, i filled a silicon all over underneath the rubber and the issue almost gone 92%, a also covered the fresh air intake with duct tape and it's completely gone, but the duct tape is not the solution. The other issue is there is a leak from the engine side which causing the exhaust to fill the engine bay and the smell finds a way to leak inside cabin through fresh air intake from the front. Since a alot of ford explorers has been reported they have a cracked manifold this explain why this happening. And ford is still looking in the wrong place to fix this issue i made this video on youtube to explain. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=tjokerz0rzc |
