The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While driving various speeds and passing other vehicles, the contact noticed a strong odor of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to jacky jones Ford of hayesville (1493 us-64, hayesville, nc 28904, 828-389-6325), but could not be diagnosed. The service technician suggested that the source of the odor could be that the rear spoiler was holding exhaust fumes. The rear spoiler was resealed with sealant. The contact stated that the issue persisted and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The service manger was advised by the Ford corporate office to seal all the holes, especially by bolts where any odor could enter the vehicle from underneath. The holes were sealed, but fumes still entered the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified many times by the contact, but no further assistance was offered. The contact was referred to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 19,905.
Under hard acceleration or wide open throttle the inside cabin of the vehicle is over come by an exhaust like smell. The vehicle has done this since it was new, thinking it was from the engine breaking in I never thought twice about it. Now after more than six months of having the vehicle and more than 8,000 miles, this is more than new car break in smell. The smell occurs 100% of the time under hard acceleration or wide open throttle, with or without the ac on or in ac recycle mode. From the forums that I have read, the owners of Ford Edge's and Ford explorer's with the 3. 5l v6 are experiencing the exact same issue that I am. The smell is overwhelming to all passengers that ride in the vehicle. The main concern is that the smell is dangerous to breath in and second that it's very annoying to smell all the time.
