When my husband closed the hood it dented. One should have a reasonable expectation that when you close the hood that the metal will not bend. I believe that the aluminum that they are using is of too thin/ inferior grade. I would hate to see what would happen if there was an accident if the hood could bend so easily from just closing the hood. *tr

In june 2014 i noticed exhaust fumes in cabin while driving up hill and figured it was coming from the vehicle in front of me. On a early morning i accelerated up the hill with no cars in front of me i smelled exhaust fumes in cabin. Then i noticed more and more under heavy acceleration the cabin fills with exhaust fumes. (entering highway, passing vehicles and going up hills).

Our '14 explorer has consistently allowed exhaust gas to enter the passenger compartment upon 1/2 to full throttle acceleration. Still under warranty, the dealership said they would fix it for about $800! They said it was coming from exhaust entering the rear ac. Ac on or off makes no difference.
