Neither did my 2011 Explorer nor my 2014 Lincoln as posted earlier in this thread. Not ALL new vehicles do.I've had 10 brand new cars Acura, allot of Toyota, and a Mitsubishi and not one has smelled of anything burning.
Questions for those experiencing burning smells, what grade of fuel are you using?
I only use 91 octane and only experience the egg/sulphur smell, which is common with ALL makes and models during hard acceleration and WOT.
87 octane here but you might be blending a couple issues together though. Sounds like you are referring to the issue of exhaust/gas/fume smell that makes its way into the cabin during hard acceleration. The OP and subsequent posters were referring to a "burning off" smell once the car is parked, which seems to be part of the normal breaking in period that lasts for just a few hundred miles. The exhaust fumes smell is a much more serious issue, some resulting in successful lemon law claims.
Exhaust smell and sulphur/egg smells are unique smells on their own.
As I posted, the sulphur/egg smell is present in All makes and models (not just Ford), when under hard acceleration.

hard to stop or hard to start?Had same problem with my 2012 after shutting the engine down. I had to replace evap valve and it cleared mine up that valve was also making it hard to stop after fill up. I have part number posted on here can get it if you would like.
That's what I thought you meant when you said hard to stop.Had a problem getting it to start. It was just after fill up after that no problem
to be fair your 10 cars were all foreign produced and thus spent a minimum of 2 months on a boat just to get to you, let alone rail travel and etc.
meanwhile my new 2016 explorer spent 2 days in transit to me from the plant.
not exactly the same situation.

Well I can't comment on all of them but at least my all time favorite 07 Tacoma was Union built at the time in the nummi plant in Fremont California which until 2010 was a Toyota/Gm joint venture (Corolla/Prizm, Matrix/Vibe). It's now only partially open (Tesla) but at the time the taco was locally designed and since it's still only made for the us/Canada market all of the major parts were locally built from local materials. I believe the drive train was imported from Japan and the bed was assembled in Mexico. If your familiar with Toyota manufacturing process there efficiency is not to warehouse any material as the parts are made/ assembled there are pre assigned to a specific vehicle so they get slapped together almost immediately with minimal shelf time. Since they shut down nummi the tacos are now assembled in San Antonio (1794 I believe they call it) but by non Union labor, certain configurations were also assembled in Tijuana Mexico.
I just test drove 2 new 2016 Explorers at different dealerships and the smell of something burning was so strong the salesman opened the windows. Car seat heater/cooling was on both times, but not sure if that's the cause. I've bought a lot of new cars (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, GM, Explorers and Escapes, etc). Nothing has smelled this bad. Hopefully just due to new car burn off of oil or labels, but It's making me worried about buying the Explorer.If its the 3.5 TiVCT V6 motor, this seems to be normal for the first several hundred miles. Not sure what causes it though...
