Description of the problem | You can smell exhaust fumes in the cab of vehicle, after about 15 minutes of driving i get a headache and dizzy and have to roll the windows down for the dizziness to go away. Sounds like a simple fix however when its 8 degrees outside and you have children you cant really be rolling the windows down. Since having this vehicle i have gone to the hospital/doctors multiple times for fatigue and headaches to which i have had to get treatment. I used to spend my lunch hour at work in my vehicle and now i cant do this because i will get nauseous and feel like i am going to faint. I am scared to be transporting my children in my vehicle due to this now. After looking into what was going on with my car i found many more people that have had these issues and i'm curious as to why ford hasn't issued a recall for this yet to get this fixed. I am hoping this helps ford realize that something needs to be done. Most people with these suvs are parents with kids. Not sure how ford can feel okay with themselves over putting children in the situation of inhaling carbon monoxide. If it was an option for us i would purchase a new vehicle but unfortunately that's not financially an option at this moment. I purchased my vehicle in march of 2016. |
