NHTSA Complaint #11018665 — 2015 FORD EXPLORER

AUGUST 24, 2015 I WAS DRIVING TO A 7:00 PM EXERCISE CLASS .I WAS TALKING TO MY MOTHER VIA BLUETOOTH WHEN I SUDDENLY BLACKED OUT AND DROVE ACROSS THE SERVICE ROAD AND ALL 4 LANES BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH OF 287 . I WAKE TO EMERGENCY RESPONDERS PULLING ME FROM THE CAR AND PUTTING ME INTO A AMBULANCE , MY MOTHER COULD HEAR ALL OF THIS. I WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL AND HAD MULTIPLE TESTS RUN BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND . AFTER I WAS DISCHARGED I HAD SEVERAL MORE TESTS RUN AND AGAIN NOTHING WAS FOUND. $18,000 DAMAGE TO CAR , MEDICAL BILLS , MISSED WORK AND I HAD TO RETEST TO KEEP MY DRIVERS LICENSE BUT I NEVER COULD FIND A CAUSE. SPRING 2017 A FRIEND SENT ME A ARTICLE ABOUT FORD EXPLORERS LEAKING CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE CABINS . THIS MADE COMPLETE SENSE. I PURCHASED A DETECTOR AND HAVE HAD IT TO GO OFF TWICE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE . THEY HAVE SAID THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN MODIFIED POLICE VEHICLES BUT I CAN TELL YOU BY MY EXPERIENCE THAT IS NOT TRUE.
