  3. Odd smell from AC vents during hard acceleration

    in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty

    Posted · Edited by gg2017

    I bought a new 2016 Ford Edge Sport in August 2016. Since day one, an odd smell enters the cabin during hard acceleration out of the AC vents. I have to open the windows to vent out as the smell is so bad sometimes. I took to dealer with the problem. They put a disinfectant through the AC system. But that did not work. I just had it back to the dealer. Apparently, this is normal. They said when under heavy acceleration, PCM shuts AC compressor off to remove the load from the engine to allow for needed power from engine, recirc door moves to fresh air mode until gas pedal is released. If anyone else having this problem, hopefully this helps.

    Still experiencing exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration, so bad at times, I need to open all windows to vent out. Did a search yesterday to see if I could find anything new about this issue. Check out this link. Im taking my 2016 Ford Edge back to Dealer tomorrow.
