Consumer Description

WE BEGAN TO SMELL EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN OF OUR VEHICLE. IT GOT STRONGER THE LONGER THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT OR SIMILAR. IT BEGAN TO CAUSE HEADACHES WHILE DRIVING AND WE HAD TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS DOWN NO MATTER THE TEMPERATURE OR SPEED. BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN RECALL, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (MALLOY FORD IN WINCHESTER, VA) TO REPAIR. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE BUT IT STILL PERSISTS SO NOW WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK. I AM NOT SURE AN ACTUAL FIX EXISTS.
