Hi everyone, I have tried to call the dealer about this or Google, but struggling to find any information so I thought I’d ask here. Our Expedition is a max 304a with 4x4 and tow package. We just hit 2000 miles on it. I have really babied it during the break in period, but we have gone to the lake with the boat about every weekend. This is only about 5 miles away but it does involve pulling a hill for about a mile or so where the engine is into the boost and RPMs are between 2500 - 2900. So it’s not like it’s a really heavy workload, but every single time we pull that hill we are getting a weird smell in the cabin (starts in the back where the kids notice it first) that will last 10-15 seconds then go away. At first it smelled like epoxy or something being mixed but now it just has a bit of a burning popcorn smell. We don’t get it any other time whether towing or not.
Is this just burning off some factory coatings or do we have an issue the dealer should look at? I tried calling service to talk to someone and have struggled to get a call back. Experience and opinions appreciated.
