Consumer Description
PLEASE RECALL THE 2011-2017 FORD EXPLORER. AS I AM SITTING HERE WATCHING THE WORLD NEWS, I JUST SAW THE NEWS PIECE ABOUT FORD WANTING TRY TO NOW REPAIR THEIR UNSAFE VEHICLES FOR CARBON MONOXIDE. FORD KNOWS THAT THESE VEHICLES CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THESE VEHICLES HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ENTRY POINTS, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE DISASSEMBLED. I THEN SEE A COMMERCIAL FOR A LOCAL FORD DEALER ADVERTISING A NEW 2017 FORD EXPLORER FOR SALE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, FORD IS STILL TRYING TO SELL THESE ROLLING GAS CHAMBERS TO UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ENGINEERING ANALYSIS THAT THE NHTSA WAS DOING? WHAT ARE THE RESULTS FROM THOSE FINDINGS? CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS! BUY YOURSELF A LOW LEVEL CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR AND TEST IT YOURSELF! FORD IS SAYING THEY HAVE NO PROOF CARBON MONOXIDE IS ENTERING CIVILIAN FORD EXPLORERS, I HAVE PROOF! (64PPM) THE CARBON MONOXIDE IS ENTERING THE VEHICLE UNDER ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS BUT THAT IS WHY IT IS WORSE WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE IS GETTING SO SICK. THE MORE HEAT THE CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS TO DISSIPATE, THE LARGER THE CRACKS BECOME. THE MORE CARBON MONOXIDE AND EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERING THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FROM ALL OF THE ENTRY POINTS. FORD CANNOT STOP THIS PROBLEM WITH JUST SEALING UP A FEW OF THE ENTRY POINTS. STOP LYING TO THE PEOPLE. IT'S TIME FOR FORD TO PAY THE PRICE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG AND HAVE LIED ABOUT TO THEIR INNOCENT CUSTOMERS! FORCE FORD TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES! YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DO IT! WHAT ABOUT THE CONSUMERS, WE HAVE MADE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS, WE CAN'T ALL BE IMAGINING THIS PROBLEM!
