NHTSA Complaint #10884127 — 2015 FORD EXPLORER

I PURCHASED MY 2015 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED IN NOVEMBER 2015 . I SPECIAL ORDERED THE VEHICLE WHICH TOOK JUST ABOUT SIX WEEKS TO ARRIVE. SINCE THE FIRST DAY I NOTICED AND ALSO FAMILY MEMBERS NOTICED A SMELL . AT FIRST I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE NEWNESS OF THE VEHICLE AND THE BREAK IN PERIOD . OVER THE MONTHS I'VE NOTICED THE SMELL NEVER DISSIPATED WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS . I'M IN AVIATION AND HAVING ANY TYPE OF FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN AREA WOULD IMMEDIATELY RAISE THE RED FLAG , NOTIFYING CUSTOMERS . I DO UNDERSTAND THE AUTO INDUSTRY IS MUCH DIFFERENT , BUT IN THE SAME BREATH THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF CONSUMERS BREATHING IN THESE FUMES COULD AND WILL CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS . I'VE READ MOST OF THE POST CONCERNING THE DIRECTION SOME DEALERSHIPS ARE BEING GUIDED FROM FORD WITH THE RESULTS NOT FIXING THE ISSUE .EMISSIONS WITH NEWER VEHICLES ARE MUCH BETTER AS WITH AIRCRAFT , BUT ONCE AGAIN WHAT IS THE COST TO SOMEONES HEALTH . I'VE BEEN A FORD OWNER FOR MANY , MANY YEARS AND THIS IS VERY TROUBLING TO SAY THE LEAST . FORD HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE . I'M SURE FORD ENGINEERS ARE WORKING DAY AND NIGHT TO RESOLVE THIS . I HOPE THAT OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME CONCERNS TAKE THE TIME TO REACH OUT AND HOPEFULLY NOT FIND THEMSELVES IN I'LL HEALTH BEFORE HAND .
