Consumer Description
WITHIN THE FIRST, ORIGINAL, 2000 MILES OF DRIVING MY NEW 2015 FORD EXPLORER MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO AN ODER THAT IS SIMILAR TO MELTING PLASTIC, BURNING HAIR OR ENGINE EXHAUST FUMES IN ROW PASSENGER CABIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AFTER HIGH RPM ACCELERATION OR DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. IN RELATION TO THIS SMELL IS ARE SYMPTOMS OF HEADACHE, TIREDNESS, AND OR NAUSEA. I HAVE BROUGHT VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS, THE LAST TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 4 WEEKS! WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NECESSARY REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. BUT THE VEHICLE AND MY FAMILY ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. VEHICLE NOW HAS JUST OVER 23000 MILES ON IT. SINCE BUYING VEHICLE I HAVE HAD A NUMBER EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS THAT WERE NOT CONCLUSIVE AND AFTER READING FINDINGS BY THIS AGENCY AND OTHERS NOW BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CONNECTION TO MY FORD EXPLORER, AND WE ARE SUFFERING FROM PROLONGED CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING!
