Description of the problem	We purchased this vehicle brand new on 8/11/2017 (19 miles)and we started noticing a smell of exhaust when we accelerated and when we had the rear a/c on coming in the cabin. We had it at the dealership from sept 25, 2017 to oct 6,2017 (1496 miles). The problem still exists when we picked it up from the dealership on oct 6, 2017. We believe this is a serious health concern as we have been experiencing headaches, especially my wife, who is the primary driver. We will not let our grandchildren ride in this vehicle with the exhaust fumes present. We are aware that ford is aware of this problem since 2012. As this is a brand new vehicle,with 1496 miles, we feel that this problem is not going to go away anytime soon. We do not want have to keep taking this to the dealership for temporary fixes (tsb). We want a permanent fix, if that includes getting a new one.
