NHTSA Complaint #11456509 — 2016 FORD F-350

The 2016 model does not include a cabin air filter. It put me and my kids at risk. It puts the elderly, people with immune issues, kids, etc., at risk. I developed severe asthma at 37 years old and a non smoker. Over the past 4 years, driving the 2016 Ford 350, it came with unexplainable upper respiratory infections. I'm now on 2 types of inhalers. I spoke to Ford and they did not care that the 2016 model does not have a cabin filter. (If this was not a problem, then why does the models after 2016 come with one??) All I was hoping, is that Ford would add a cabin air filter to my truck. I'm not asking the company to pay the doctor bills or give me back 4 years of breathing. I'm just asking for the company to apply a piece of equipment to my truck that would help me breath and not directly take in all stuff coming in my truck. I literally smell everything. Everything comes through: Vehicle exhaust from other vehicles Chemicals in air Pollution while driving in cities (dallas) Pollen Dust Clay/dirt Smoke...fires burning...cigerate... Just driving on the interstate, other vehicle exhaust comes in. I turn ac off. (It gets hot inTexas) This sets off asthma attacks. Even if parked and someone has their truck running...the exhaust comes in. I'm considering talking to a lawyer about about this, since Ford will not consider my complaint and willing help me. However, I care about others. No kid should be inhaling exhaust or anything that can cause issues with the lungs. I wish Ford would do what's right and fix the 2016 models. After being in and out of doctor's offices, I was diagnosed with severe asthma on 12/27/2021.
