NHTSA Complaint #11030422 — 2013 FORD EXPLORER

THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO BLOW EXHAUST DIRECTLY INTO THE CABIN. I HAD TO FORCE THE DEALER TO FIX THIS, AS THEY ARGUED EXHAUST IS NOT DANGEROUS. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS, FROM THE FACTORY, PROVING IT WAS A KNOWN SERIOUS ISSUE, NOT DISCLOSED TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP DID A HORRIBLE JOB IN THE "REPAIR" - HAVING BROKEN OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR IN THE PROCESS. AFTER THEY "REPAIRED" THE CAR, IT BEGAN RANDOMLY SHUDDERING, WHILE IDLING. I HAVE ATTACHED A VIDEO OF IT. YOU WILL NEED TO TURN UP THE VOLUME TO THE MAX, AS YOUTUBE COMPRESSED THE SOUND TERRIBLY. I HAVE ONE WITNESS TO THIS HAPPENING TWICE. THE ENGINE STARTS VIBRATING WITH SUCH FEROCITY THAT IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. THE WITNESS IS WILLING TO TESTIFY IN COURT. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=JOHECICECTK . THIS VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY FALLEN APART AROUND ME. THERE ARE 10 OTHER MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES, WHICH FORD REFUSES TO FIX.
