That is exactly how I described it at first...and noticed it initially at WOT.

I wish I had one of those when I started my still unresolved trek at Ford fixing this problem. I have an '11 EX LTD and brought it up to my local dealer over 3 years ago...they worked with the technicians and designers trying to replicate, find, and fix it. I've had it there so many times it's...

I sure hope you have better luck than I have had. I've had this restraint replaced twice. I've had my 2011 EX Limited in over a dozen times for the airbag light in the last 13 months. They've also replaced the wiring harnesses, and twice they've found a problem with a connector. I thought it was...

Southwest Ford - Weatherford, TX I purchased my vehicle from this outstanding dealership and wish I lived close enough to have all of my service done there. They are a stand-up, first class dealership, one that I think others I've visited should be modeled after. Every person I dealt with there...

Air Bag Light JRM - unfortunately the problem does not show up in the vehicle report. I've had my '11 EX Limited in 7 - yes 7 - times since Jan 2013 for the air bag light coming on. Everyone needs to understand that when that light comes on the entire SRS is in jeopardy, it essentially shuts...

Consider yourself blessed because it really sucks dealing with this problem. My dealer had mine for 2 weeks and I thought it was fixed for the first few days, but my excitement was short lived. It's been a few months since the TSB steps were done and over that time it continued to grow back to...

Seawolf, unless I'm misunderstanding your post, whether it's a $12K Kia or a $100K BMW, exhaust being sucked into the cabin of a vehicle should not be acceptable IMHO.

Thank you! On a 3K mile round-trip vacation last year, the majority being highway miles, I wonder if this is why we all felt like crap? I'm going to research a reliable yet reasonably priced air quality monitor to put in the EX and see what the results are. Ford really needs to find out what the...

One would think that if the exhaust is getting in and it is noticeable during hard acceleration, then it is likely getting in continuously in while driving as well. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want to take the chance that me and my family are slowly being poisoned while driving...

Well, my '11 EX Limited is finally in the shop to have this problem addressed as well as 6 or 7 other TSBs I want fixed. It's been there half a week already and should be ready mid-week next week - fingers crossed that everything is finally fixed!

Problem Supposedly Known - Fix Unclear I was one of the very first "Guinea Pigs" Ford used regarding this problem. My dealer worked hand-in-hand with the Ford Technicians and tried numerous temporary fixes on my 11 EX, nothing really worked. I had it in the week before last and was told that...

Love the look of the fin. Have you had any problems with the seal? Did you have any problems with the install?

MaxxJ - since the '12's are experiencing many of the same problems, I'd look elsewhere until they get it figured out. I never thought I'd not want to keep my Explorer, but I've experienced too many problems with it. From the mystery odor that fills the cabin, to the 4 times I had to take it to...

Follow-up It's interesting to read all of the different things various dealers are telling owners. My dealership took on mine after Cory helped me (thank you Cory), and I had a "ticket" opened with Ford. My vehicle and, evidently, one somewhere in the North, are Ford's "Guinea Pigs". The...

The mechanic, my advisor, the service manager, and even the owner are involved in this case. The smell has been observed by all but the owner while test driving it. I have read that most dealerships are saying it's the "break-in period", it's not, I have over 5,000 on mine and have had the oil...

The Problem May Have Been Found! Well, it looks like our Ford dealership here in Abilene, TX might have found the culprit. Evidently the cooling vent for the catalytic converter is right by the drain pipe for the air conditioner. To test their theory, they temporarily plugged that drain and are...

Kind of sounds like a cop-out to me, I hope that's all it is. That kind of answer almost makes me think the they either didn't want to look for it or know the problem exists, but don't know how to fix it. JMHO

I had the same problem with my USB/card reader and they had to replace the module.
