It's about time, there have been numerous discussions on this site for the last few years, my 2014 limited does it under hard acceleration. Some 81 pages on another thread on this site, its there a problem, dah!

Anybody with a '16 noticed this problem? Did the exhaust change for '16?

I have sensitive sense of smell but I did not smell it in my 14' Explorer

Hope this goes far. nothing worse then worrying about my family on a long road trip being in the back and having a nap. I open the windows every little bit just to get some fresh air inside.

Trying to get the dealer do admit anything was a waste of time.

I have not noticed this on my 16.

I think Ford knows the issue is big and even has a procedure to seal the body and update the HVAC module through module programming in IDS. Why they don't do a recall is beyond me because carbon monoxide is no joke. This is the message I got when trying to update the HVAC module in my Explorer.
