Consumer Description

SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR I NOTICED A FOUL SMELL ON THE INTERIOR. IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS. NOW THAT IT IS WINTER AND I AM WARMING UP MY CAR PRIOR TO GETTING AN IT I NOTICED THAT THAT SAME SMELL PERMEATES THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR AS WELL. MY ONLY ASSUMPTION COULD BE THAT WHATEVER IS COMING OUT OF THE CAR IS SOMEHOW LEAKING INSIDE THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR. IT IS A SMELL THAT MAKES YOU VERY VERY SICK TO YOUR STOMACH. CALLING MY FORD DEALERSHIP DID NO GOOD AS THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE.
