NHTSA Complaint #11011868 — 2017 FORD EXPLORER

FORD EXPLORER SPORT 2017 SMELLS OF EXHAUST GAS IN THE DRIVER CABIN. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH 5, 2017 AND TOOK IT TO DEALER 3/9/17 TO COMPLAIN ABOUT EXHAUST FUMES SMELL WHEN I DROVE ON THE FREEWAY. THEY TOLD ME THEY TESTED IT AND COULD NOT SMELL ANYTHING. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED AND IT HAPPENS ESPECIALLY WHEN I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. IN JUNE A WAS GOING TO DRIVE MY CAR FROM LA TO NEW JERSEY. AFTER THREE DAYS OF DRIVING I HAD TO TURN BACK TO LA BECAUSE I GOT DIZZY AND FELT NAUSEOUS EVERY DAY AFTER DRIVING 6 TO 8 HOURS. I SAW LAST NIGHT ON THE NEWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH EXHAUST FUMES AND CARBON MONOXIDE AND THAT MADE ME REALIZE THAT I AM AFFECTED BY THAT. I CALLED FORDS HOTLINE EARLIER TODAY. THEY SAID THAT THERE IS A FIX BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT APPARENTLY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE 2017 YET AND I GOT THE ADVISE TO BE CAREFULL AND DRIVE WITH MY WINDOW DOWN. THAT IS NOT THE SOLOUTING YOU WANT AFTER PAYING 55G AND HAVING ONLY 3500MILLES ON THE ODOMETER!
