NHTSA Complaint #11011153 — 2017 FORD EXPLORER

TWICE SINCE PURCHASING MY NEW EXPLORER I HAVE GOTTEN DEATHLY ILL WHILE DRIVING, HAD TO PULL OVER AND BE TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I'M 70 YEARS OLD AND HAD THOUGHT IT WAS A MEDICAL ISSUE. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN POKED AND PROBED FOR EVERY POSSIBLE ALIMENT AND ALL HAVE COME BACK NEGATIVE AND AM IN GREAT HEALTH. EVEN MY HEART TESTS WERE OUTSTANDING. I SAW THE EXPLORER STORIES ON THE NEWS, LOOKED UP CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND NOTE THOSE WERE THE SYMPTOMS I HAD. IN THE INCIDENT LAST WEEK I WAS FEELING WORSE AND WORSE AS I DROVE AND WAS JUST ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD BEFORE I PASSED OUT, MY VISION HAD GONE BLANK, I STARTING SWEATING WITH THE AIR ON, AND I BECAME EXTREMELY DIZZY AND DISORIENTATED. I SPENT TWO DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL THINKING I WAS DYING BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I FELT. I'M IN EXCELLENT HEALTH, BIKE 20 MILES DAY 2-4 DAYS WEEK, PLAY LEAGUE HOCKEY, AVID GOLFER THAT HAS COMPETED AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL, ETC. THIS WAS NOT A 'ILLNESS', I'M CONVINCED IT WAS CARBON MONOXIDE POSIONING. UPDATED 11/06/2017*JS THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A STATUS UPDATE. UPDATED 12/07/2017*JS *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE PASSED OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND REQUIRED HOSPITILIZATION. *JS
