NHTSA Complaint #11063238 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

VERY STRONG EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING VEHICLE AT OR ABOVE 3500 RPM. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEED. ENTIRE CAB FILLS WITH FUMES IMMEDIATELY AND DOES NOT DISAPATE UNTIL ALL WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN. EXPERIENCED HEADACHES, DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA. OWNER HAD TO TRADE VEHICLE (AT THEIR EXPENSE) AS DEFECT WAS CAUSING DAILY HEALTH PROBLEMS. FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE VEHICLE IS PURCHASED. OWNER HAD 2015 FORD EXPLORER WITH SAME PROBLEM AND WON LEMON LAW CASE AGAINST FORD - LEMON LAW ARBITRATORS SMELLED WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS EXHAUST FUMES DURING LEMON LAW HEARING TEST DRIVE. FORD REPAIR ATTEMPTS DO NOT WORK! NHTSA AND FORD NEED TO DETERMINE FIX OR RECALL VEHICLES. EXHAUST FUMES CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE AS WELL AS MANY OTHER TOXIC CHEMICALS. FORD ADMITS EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING VEHICLE BUT CLAIMS LOW VOLUME/SAFE. PLEASE CONSIDER THAT INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN CANNOT BE EXPOSED TO SAME CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS AS ADULTS WITHOUT VERY SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING HARM. ASK A DOCTOR, NOT FORD!!!
