Consumer Description

WHEN I DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS CLOSED FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME I HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS AND MANY TIMES I PULL OVER TO TAKE A BREATHER. I MENTIONED TO A FRIEND TODAY THIS PROBLEM AND HE TOLD ME HE HAD SEEN THE NIGHT BEFORE THAT THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS AS CARBON MONOXIDE MAY BE THE PROBLEM. I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BUT DISMISSED IT. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH MY OTHER VEHICLES. I AM GOING TO BE VERY CAREFUL NOW BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE MAKE FORD REPAIR THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
