Consumer Description

THE EXHAUST SEEMS TO BE ENTERING THE CABIN THROUGH THE AC VENTS. WE TOOK THIS BACK TO FORD AS WE BOUGHT IT NEW AND THEY STATED AT FIRST IT WAS JUST STICKERS BURNING OFF. THEN I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AND MADE A MANAGER TO RIDE WITH ME. HE STATED IT WAS NOT NORMAL AND WE LEFT IT THERE. THEY STATED THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS A REROUTED SOMETHING. SEEMED TO BE VERY CONFUSED ON WHAT THEY DID. THE SMELL NEVER REALLY WENT AWAY AND NOT THAT IT HAS 20,000 MILES SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORST. MY WIFE IS PREGNANT NOW AND ITS HER DAILY DRIVER. I WOULD JUST TAKE IT BACK AND TRADE IT IN BUT I WILL LOSE SO MUCH IN TRADE!! I JUST THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM WORRIED FOR MY WIFE AND FUTURE BABY. *TR
