    2014 Exhaust Fumes in me? A different exhaust question for people

    So I am fully aware of the explorer issues with exhaust fumes in the vehicle and I am fully aware of the plan to fix the issues in the vehicle. That all said I need to see if anyone else has had a slightly more bizarre thing happen to them or something you might have noticed. I have had 2 fixes...

    Battery Replacement / Upgrade - Battery Re-Learn

    Peter - its on all the time while driving - as in for hours and hours and thus overheats the connection - While this might not be an issue as the battery gets older the light on all the time can eventually cause ongoing draw on the battery. Even if its for that 10 minutes. I want to say the...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    Well I own a Sport and every day I get on the freeway and accelerate at all the cab fills with strange exhaust smells. I have had the TSB done twice for resealing the rear AC ports and it has never solved the issue. It is a known issue that I assume is much harder to resolve than we must all...

    Battery Replacement / Upgrade - Battery Re-Learn

    Sadly that is not the question I was asking about. I understand about the BMS, your note makes no mention of battery replacement or the need to possibly re-learn a new or upgraded battery.

    2013-2016 Rear Hatch Struts - HD

    For those of you in colder climates this might be a good solution for the rear hatch "falling down". These are intended to give a bit more opening to the gate and also hold them up when police equipment is mounted in the rear hatch. Lights etc. These clearly do not work on the vehicles...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.
