Smell coming from vents.

[Ericnovitskiy]

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?

A cracked injector will result in the odor of raw fuel. If you are getting engine exhaust in the cabin you should get your exhaust system checked out immediately.

As Mark said — get it checked right away, think there have been some complaints of cracked catalytic converters

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.

Hi there, Eric. Go ahead and send us a private message with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer, and I’ll look into this concern regarding your AC.

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.
