NHTSA Complaint #11110277 — 2011 FORD EXPLORER

WHILE DRIVING I 77 NORTH (MOORESVILLE NC TO THE BACK SIDE OF STONE MOUNTAIN NC) WITH THE AIR CONDITION ON, I STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES COMING THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. MY SON ALSO SMELLED THE GAS FUMES. WE HAD TO TURN THE AC OFF AND TRAVEL WITH OPEN WINDOWS.. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION. I DIDN'T SMELL THE FUMES AS WE WERE RETURNING HOME BUT ALSO RODE WITH THE WIDOWS DOWN A BIT AS WELL. I HOWEVER NOTICED THAT WHILE I WAS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THAT MY HEADACHE WAS NOT WITH ME. I HAVE NOT USED THE AIR CONDITION SINCE I HAVE ARRIVED BACK IN TOWN. I HAVE NOT FELT GOOD FOR MONTHS AND HAD A CONSTANT HEADACHE, BLAMING IT ON STRESS BUT NOW FEEL THAT IT IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CAUSED BY MY VEHICLE. I WILL BE CALLING A DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE PROBLEM AND HOPE TO GET IT FIXED.
