I'd have figured they removed them for the ptu constantly puking.
Flawed engineering ford... you really screwed the pooch routing the exhaust directly under the transfer case which is probably suitable for converting a golf cart to 4 wheel drive...
Brilliant idea.
Let's stuff an Itty bitty transfer case right above the exhaust and run it close to the rear catalytic converter too. Nice. Brilliant. What possibly could go wrong there...
Should have stuck with what works, rear wheel drive platform... not fwd with an afterthought of converting to awd...

Except that the D platform was engineered as a FWD/AWD platform from day 1 as it was originally developed to underpin the XC90.
I have an Explorer Limited in the family and it stinks like exhaust under full throttle acceleration. It has been back to the dealer for the issue. Honestly the car is a $45,000 POS.
It sounds like the police Explorers are doing it. Not the regular civilian ones. It's starting to look like it's from the holes drilled for the additional equipment required for LEO vehicles by the outfitters.
It doesn't matter who caused it. Ford Management is looking incompetent.
Also, perhaps they should consider engineering the complete vehicle including all items that the after market suppliers install. That way they would sell a car that is built in a controlled process and eliminate all potential CO leaks.

Why don't you hop on a plane and go to Dearborn Michigan Fords World Headquarters and you tell them how to build their Explorer, you sit down with executive chairman Bill Ford and tell him what has to be done ok.
The latest from my local (Austin) news station. Ford is releasing pictures they say supports their theory that modification made to the vehicles are causing the problem.
