Consumer Description

I RECENTLY CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE ABOUT EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE 2015 FORD EXPLORER. THIS IS WHAT MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED. I HOPE THIS HELPS IN YOUR REVIEW IN A POTENTIAL RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE. IN AUGUST 2014 WE PURCHASED A NEW FORD EXPLORER 2015 XLT. CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES ON IT. WHEN EITHER OF US ACCELERATE TO ENTER A FREEWAY QUICKLY, OR DRIVE UP A HILL THERE IS A STRONGER ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE CAR. OF COURSE WE OPEN THE WINDOWS, BUT MY WIFE IS ASTHMATIC AND IT GREATLY AFFECTS HER BREATHING AND OTHER ASTHMA SYMPTOMS INCLUDING COUGHING, WHEEZING AND NEEDING TO USE A 'RESCUE' INHALER. THIS OCCURS DURING THE WINTER AS WELL AS WHEN THE AC IN ON. WE LOVE OUR BEAUTIFUL FORD EXPLORER AND ARE TROUBLED BY THIS PROBLEM, BUT BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS FAULT AND SHOULD JUSTIFY A RECALL.
