Consumer Description
FORD EXHAUST I AM GETTING A STRONG ROTTEN EGG SMELL AND A BURNING SMELL EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY CAR WHICH IS A 2013 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED 4WD IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I AM NOT SURE IF IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS GOING FASTER BECAUSE IT SMELLS ALL THE TIME. I JUST HAD THE CAR TOED TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WILL NOT START. IN ADDITION I NOTICED THAT I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FROM HEADACHES, DIZZINESSAND AND FATIGUE WHILE DRIVING WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. FINALLY I NOTICED THAT WHEN THERE IS NO POWER IN THE CAR THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE BACK TAILGATE TO LET PEOPLE OUT WHEN YOU ARE SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW OF THE CAR SO YOU ARE TRAPPED BACK THERE WITH THE SMELL.
