    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    it's because different people have different driving styles and smell tolerance. I bought my car with two other officemates at the same time. we took advantage of a corporate discount to program. when I asked them if they experienced the same problem both said no they're cars were perfect...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    I'm approaching the problem from the perspective of how the exhaust gases are being sucked back to the area under the rear of the car, where presumably it is finding its way into the cabin through the many openings identified by other posters on this forum. Theoretically, once exhaust gases are...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    I'm from Dubai and i have a 2013 Ford Flex AWD with 6,000 kms. I'm experiencing all the problems described in this forum. Your theory makes the most sense out of all the ones that i've read. I hope it's just a check valve issue (which i hope can easily be replaced) and not something related to...
