NHTSA Complaint #11012951 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, UPON ACCELERATING, EVEN WITH THE CIRCULATING AIR ON, THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG COMING INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. ALSO, WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR WITH THE A/C ON, THERE IS A VERY SOUR/STALE ODOR COMING FROM THE VENTS. WE MADE A 2 HOUR TRIP, AND AFTER BEING IN THE CAR THAT LONG, I HAD A BAD HEADACHE AND FELT NAUSEATED FROM THE FUMES. I AM THE MAIN DRIVER OF THE CAR AND IT IS MY SOLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR BACK IN JANUARY OF 2017, I STARTED GETTING BAD HEADACHES AND HAVE THEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. I'M STARTING TO THINK THEY ARE COMING FROM THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN IN A FORD GARAGE NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BUT THEY SAY EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT OK.
