The rotten egg smell is when you get on it, it's the smell that's made when you dump excessive amounts of exhaust into the catalytic converter. It's probably getting into the cabin through the fresh air vents in the rear of the vehicle. Our platinum does this every single time I nail it really hard on the freeway or leaving a stop light.

I had mine fixed, it was exactly what I told you. It was the fresh air vents in the inside body panels at the rear of the cabin. They closed them off , that was the only fix with the rear exit dual exhaust. All in all it's an excellent ride and I like it, yes I'm not as **** about some things as others are but I weigh the cost. Anytime the dealer starts tearing into your new car it up the odds of crap falling apart or rattling and that, I CAN NOT live with.

Well Ford finally, after 8 months, got the new toe links in to repair the recall they notified us of in April. Wife's 2014 Explorer Sport has been repaired and we can start utilizing the vehicle again. Sad it took Ford so long to correct such a serious safety defect in one of their more popular vehicles. Surprised none of you had the same problem with your Explorers considering it affected, I believe, over 75,000 vehicles.
