NHTSA Complaint #10940020 — 2016 FORD ESCAPE

CARBON MONOXIDE: THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST FREQUENTLY IN THE VEHICLE. I TURNED ON A MULTI-GAS MONITOR TO FIND CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS AS HIGH AS 100 PPM AND OXYGEN CONCENTRATIONS BELOW 19%. THIS OCCURS AT IDLE AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINDOWS ROLLED UP OR DOWN, AIR ON OR OFF, OR RECIRCULATION ON OR OFF. I DO NOT GET ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH 2011-2014 EXPLORERS BUT NOT MUCH INFORMATION ON THE ESCAPE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THERE WERE NOT AWARE OF AN ISSUE EITHER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT IN AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY MECHANICAL PROBLEM THAT THE VEHICLE HAS IS A WARNING LIGHT AND REDUCTION OF POWER WHEN THE TURBO CHARGER GETS OVERHEATED. *TR
