I’ve seen some people on here talking about this. There’s an exhaust like smell coming thru the vents when I have my AC on now. I changed the Cabin air filter, which was due for me to change. The smell is a bit less but it’s there. Does this possibly have a connection to the Cracked fuel injector CSP? If anyone else experienced this did you get it fixed?

Definitely a cracked catalytic converter. I had this same issue and got much worse over time. Make sure you take the tech on a ride along and make sure they can smell it because if it’s faint they won’t fix it and you’ll get your typical “couldn’t replicate” answer.

What you said pretty much is what happened. They called and said the mechanic can’t find any leaks or problems. I said well then why is there a smell, there wasn’t a smell for the last 3 years. The rep said well if it continues drop it off again. No help as usual from my dealer.

I would take it to a muffler shop. I would think any of them would have a CO sniffer. Carbon monoxide will make you sleepy and give you a headache, right before it kills you.

Did you ever get this resolved? Currently on my fourth trip trying to figure this out.

I will be visting my local Ford dealer with this same issue. I smell exhaust fumes in the cabin. It has gotten stronger to the point where I will nolonger drive it. I have been told that it may be several days before the cause can be found. I will inform them that it may be the catalytic converter. This is a 2021 BS Big Bend with 42,000 miles.
