NHTSA Complaint #11010604 — 2014 FORD EXPLORER

MY 2014 FORD EXPLORER HAS NOT BEEN MOTIFIED AND HAS HAD STRONG EXHAUST INSIDE THE CAR CONFIRMED BY A FORD DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE JUNE. THE FIRST REPAIR MADE BY FORD TO "PLUG" THE PROBLEM MADE IT WORSE. THEY ARE NOT TESTING FOR LEAKS OR CARBON MONOXIDE. THE ARE REFERENCING THIS AS AN ODOR. GIVEN THE RISKS HOW CAN IT BE RULED OUT IF THEY ARE NOT TESTING FOR THEM? I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT FORD'S PRIORITY IS TO PROTECT ITSELF AT THE COST OF OUR FAMILY AND THE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SOMETIME EVEN WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY COOLING DOWN PRIOR TO ANY MOTION. I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE DIRECTLY BEEN SICKENED BY THIS AND AM INSTALLING A DETECTOR INTO OUR CAR AND WILL BE HAVING BLOOD WORK ANYTIME IT GOES OFF. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED MY DOCTOR TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING ON OUR LABS TO CONFIRM THE CONCERNS. WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CONCERN BY FORD OR THE FACT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS SINCE 2012. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BACK-UP CAME REVERSE AND EVERYTHING LOCATED IN THE LEFT OF THE CAR APPEARED ON THE RIGHT. THIS WAS CONFIRMED IN JUNE AND THE CAMERA WAS REPLACED. THE OBVIOUS SAFETY WITH THIS SITUATION WAS NOT MADE PUBLIC OR INVESTIGATED TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
