Consumer Description

CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK COMING THROUGH BACK VENTS. I HAVE LITERALLY FELT FUZZINESS, NAUSEOUS, INTERMITTENT SEVERE HEADACHES, DIFFICULTY CHANGING LANES FROM CONFUSION, AND LOOPY WHILE DRIVING. CALLED MY FREEWAY FORD, AND THEY VERIFIED THAT MY CAR DID IN FACT HAVE EXHAUST COMING THROUGH BACK VENT. THEY FIXED UNDER TSB - TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. I ASSUMED THAT I HAD SOMETHING SEVERELY WRONG WITH MY HEALTH UNTIL THE NEWS STORIES CAME OUT ABOUT THE POLICE OFFICERS PASSING OUT, AND HAVING SOME OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS. BINGO, IT WAS MY CAR! FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR NOT PUTTING OUT AN OFFICIAL RECALL. THERE MOTTO IS TO GO FURTHER, BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY SITTING BACK WHILE THEY COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS. I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE PRESIDENT AND GROUP VP & CEO OF GENERAL COUNSEL AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY. MY LETTER WAS SENT CERTIFIED MAIL ON 7/26/17; RECEIVED 7/31/17; STILL NO RESPONSE. I AM ATTACHING LETTER.
