Consumer Description

I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP THAT LASTED ABOUT 6-7 HOURS. I HAD BEEN PASSING CARS SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS. SOMETIME DURING THE DRIVING MY EYES STARTED BURNING REALLY BAD. IT CONTINUED FOR DAYS UNTIL I WENT TO MY DOCTOR AND GOT DROPS FOR THEM. I TOOK THE CAR THE VERY NEXT DAY TO A FORD DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 5 WEEKS WITH THEM AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN TURNED OVER TO FORD MOTOR AND IS WITH THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S DEPARTMENT. THE ROAD TRIP WAS APPROXIMATELY 400-500 MILES IN TOTAL ON THE HIGHWAYS OF WASHINGTON STATE. *JS
