NHTSA Complaint #10811079 — 2014 FORD EXPLORER

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM SINCE I GOT MY LEASED 2014 EXPLORER, WHEN I HIT THE GAS HARD IT WOULD SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES, AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW AND WOULD GO AWAY SO I USED TO OPEN THE WINDOWS TO LET THE SMELL OUT BUT IT WAS QUITE BAD SO I HAD TO PULL AWAY MORE SLOWLY TO AVOID IT OR HAVE A BAD SMELL OF FUMES IN THE CAR, I WOULD OPEN THE WINDOWS BUT ITS SO HOT IN FLORIDA AND IT LETS ALL THE A/C OUT, MY GIRLFRIEND KEPT TELLING ME THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG BUT I KEPT SAYING IT WILL PROBABLY GO AWAY, I WORKED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND I ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IF THEY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS TOO THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, HOWEVER SHE WAS RIGHT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY I WILL TAKE IT IN ON MONDAY AGAIN AND HAVE THEM DRIVE IN THE CAR WITH ME TO SMELL THE FUMES TOO THEN THEY MAY BE ABLE TO FIX IT. FORD HAVE KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THEY ACTED NEGLIGIBLE IN MY HONEST OPINION BECAUSE THEY HAVE KNOW ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT WHY WOULD THEY NOT INFORM CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED THESE VEHICLES TO GET THEM CHECKED OUT FOR THEIR SAFETY AND THE LONG TERM EFFECTS FROM CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES IT COULD LEAD TO CANCER OR RESPIRATORY ISSUES AND MUCH MORE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY SAKE.
