I ALMOST IMMEDIATELY SMELLED EXHAUST FUMES COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK- FUMES WHICH SMELL MUCH LIKE THAT OF A LAWN MOWER.  THE EXHAUST COMING FROM THE END OF THE TAILPIPE DID NOT HAVE THIS SMELL. AFTER 6 MONTHS, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN MY PLACE OF PURCHASE, BILL MARSH FORD IN NEWTOWN, PA.  THE SHOP FOREMAN DENIED SMELLING ANY FUMES AND, WITHOUT HAVING LOOKED UNDERNEATH AT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK.  A YEAR LATER I RETURNED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.  I HAD HIM DOCUMENT THIS VISIT, BUT NOT THE FIRST ONE.  THEIR CONSENSUS REMAINED THE SAME.  FOR THE FIRST TIME THE OTHER DAY, I CRAWLED UNDER MY TRUCK WHILE IT WAS RUNNING, SEEKING AN EXHAUST LEAK.  AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I FOUND.  RECENTLY, MY TRUCK'S WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM.  TODAY, BILL MARSH FORD SERVICE HAS LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM BASED ON WHAT I FOUND.  I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM REPLACED.  WHILE IT IS ONE THING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD HAVE FIXED WHEN IT WAS NEW, OR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT TOGETHER RIGHT AND TESTED AT THE FACTORY, I HAVE A BIGGER CONCERN.  I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, SINCE THE EXHAUST FUMES COME INTO THE TRUCK THROUGH OPEN WINDOWS AND THE VENTS.  IT IS ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE SINCE THE LEAK IS IN FRONT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.  I CANNOT SEE HOW I WAS ALLOWED TO DRIVE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS AFTER I REPORTED SMELLING THE FUMES, OR HOW THE TRUCK WAS EVEN ALLOWED TO PASS INSPECTION IF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY CHECKED.  NOW THAT I HAVE IDENTIFIED THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS PLAGUED MY TRUCK FROM DAY ONE, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A CORRECTABLE PROBLEM, I WISH TO PURSUE ANY FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY FOR SUCH A CASE.
