Art, I know this post is more than a year old, but it's the only one I can find on the internet that exactly matches what I'm experiencing with my 2013 Ford Edge 2L Ecoboost. It's not a mildew smell or a burning plastic smell, and it doesn't happen right when the car turns on. Instead, it's a chemical smell (like freon or similar) and it first occurs maybe 10 minutes into our drive, is unpleasant for a minute or so, then goes away. It's not so bad that I need to put the windows down to vent it, but I worry that it's toxic to our health to be breathing it in, or that there's something wrong with the car. We got it last September, so we only have 10k miles on it. However, we live in Florida, so we're running the AC just about all the time.
Art, did you ever get a solution from your dealership? Does your Edge still have the problem?
Thanks for sharing!
