Description of the problem | 2017 ford explorer sport. 3. 5 ecoboost. When accelerating 3/4 or more on the pedal. Does not smell so much as exhaust as it does sulfur and bad egg smell. Only way to get the smell out of vehicle is to turn air off and roll windows down. Seems worse when air conditioning is on than the heat. Passengers usually get it worse than driver.. At least that's my experience, or that is the side with the problem. I was reading on websites before all these claims were brought up and i kept coming to the conclusion from reading up what complaints i found, it was that the twin turbos had a lot of blow back and it was only the ecoboost motors. Now i now differ and there is a curious problem and i owe a small fortune on a vehicle that's not safe to drive and also with a family of 5. Does not have problem at idle or if driving gently. Can do it at low speeds or high speeds. Just give it half or more peddle and you will smell it. What do i do. Thanks.
