Consumer Description

WHILE COMMUTING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS MORNING, WITH TIMES OF HEAVY IDLING, AN EXHAUST TYPE SMELL STARTING COMING INTO THE CABIN CAUSING ME TO BECOME NAUSEOUS AND DIZZY UNTIL WINDOWS WERE OPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, PARTICULARLY WHEN THE WEATHER GOES FROM COLD TO MILD (NOT REQUIRING A/C), BUT SOME HEAT. THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP LAST MARCH FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. I PURCHASED A BATTERY OPERATED CO2 DETECTOR TO TEST AND IT ALARMED WHILE DRIVING UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME FORD DEALER THIS MORNING AND LEFT RUNNING. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DID DETECT SOME TYPE OF ODOR COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. *TR
