Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE EMITS EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION, THE EXHAUST SMELL IS SO POTENT, ME AND MY PASSENGERS HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND HAVE RETURNED IT FOR REPAIRS MANY TIMES SINCE. THEY HAVE SEALED ALL OPENINGS UNDER THE VEHICLE, REPLACED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND REPLACED THE VENTS IN THE BUMPER. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY EXPLORER, HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. MY LAST REPAIR VISIT IN JUNE 2016, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I NEED TO COME PICK UP MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY COULD DO NOTHING ELSE FOR IT. THEY HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR IT AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS HAS CAUSED VARIOUS HEALTH ISSUES FOR ME, WHICH INCLUDE, HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. FORD HAS IGNORED ALL OF MY REQUEST TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED I AM BEING POISONED BY EXHAUST.
