Description of the problem | My 2014 ford explorer lets in an extreme amount of fumes into the cabin of the vehicle during heavy exceleration. I have to put all four windows down for a good amount of time before i am able to clear the cabin of the fumes. My first complaint at the local ford dealer happened 6 weeks after leasing the vehicle. I have had the vehicle for 10 mos. Now and have only 5500 miles on it because the fumes are so bad that we don't dare drive our pets in the vehicle or ourselves because we get sick and suffer from headaches and nausea from the fumes in it. Unfortunately we are trapped in a lease and the ford dealership will only do a trade in value on it. So i cant even sell the vehicle for what its worth because of the lease. Can't afford that kind of loss because i traded in my toyota 4 runner in to get the monthly lease payment down. Won't get that 8 grand back on trade in. Heart breaking because this is my dream truck, but it is obviously very defective. *js |
