Consumer Description
BOUGHT A 2016 FORD EXPLORER SPORT IN NOV.2016 USED WITH 20K MILES. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME I NOTICED A HORRIBLE SMELL AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SOMETHING IN THE AREA NEVER DREAMING IT WAS THE CAR! I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THE CAR HAD A RECALL ON IT. THE SMELL IS HORRIBLE, SO BAD WE HAVE TO RIDE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. IM NOT SURE WHY THE DEALERSHIP WAS EVEN ALLOWED TO SELL THE CAR TO ME WITH DISCLOSING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM FORD. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME.I AM DRIVING A 2003 CAR NOW WITH 150K MILES BECAUSE I CANNOT DRIVE MY NEW CAR.
