Description of the problem | when i have my front right window down about three inches and accelerate, i get car exhaust into cabin. I later found out that the exhaust moves from the exhaust pipe of the moving car into the car trunk and then into the cabin of my car. I first noticed this days after i purchased the car but the dealer could not duplicate it and said it was probably a new car smell. I had it checked again three months after purchase but, again, mechanic had same outcome. I finally got fed up with the smell and asked again 18 months after purchase. Ford spent weeks examining it and had a ford technician also examine the car. Ford found the smell this time and said another mustang like mine also had the same smell. Ford claimed the smell was normal for this type of mustang. I had an expert test the car several hours one afternoon (see part of report attached). He found that carbon monoxide was much higher in the trunk than in the cabin. He found levels as high as 411 ppm in the trunk and 14 ppm in the cabin. He concluded that exhaust moved from exhaust pipe to car trunk to car cabin. |
