This story is all the rage with local media. The Orlando ABC affiliate has been all over it since a family contacted them with their Explorer story. Family stated they had an issue with exhaust entering the vehicle and despite repeated trips to a Ford dealer, the problem persisted. Ford ultimately bought it back when legal action was threatened. FWIW, there was a class action suit settled in South Florida in May over this problem with the Explorer.
Tonight the same ABC affiliate did a followup, taking someone's Explorer to a local independent garage and a mechanic did an under body inspection. He found an incomplete or cracked exhaust system weld before the muffler and a poorly sealed body panel seams behind a rear wheel. Mechanic wouldn't outright pin the blame on what he found, but said any unsealed body penetration could certainly allow vehicle exhaust into the interior.
