Description of the problem	I am writing to you in regards to physical illness that i have suffered as well as my passengers from my 2014 ford explorer police interceptor package. Starting back when i first purchased the vehicle at approximately 59,000 miles, i have experienced an exhaust odor in the cabin shortly after accelerating over 3,000rpms. This issue has been investigated at my local dealership twice, with the technician confirming the smell. After this work was performed, i still to this day am suffering from exhaust fumes and physical illness directly related to my ford explorer. All repair orders from involved ford dealerships are in my possession confirming exhaust fumes are still entering the cabin. From the time i took ownership in october 2016, i have experienced physical illness when driving the vehicle for more than 1 hour at a time. I get extremely lightheaded and nauseated, which has caused me to frequently stop the vehicle and vomit. My passengers in the vehicle have also experienced similar symptoms when riding in the vehicle. When this happens, i stop at a safe location and remove myself to fresh air, and the symptoms soon pass and i am able to drive again. Recently, i have traveled from massachusetts to vermont in my explorer. The mostly highway driving trip it was me as well as my girlfriend. After around an hour of driving at 60mph, my girlfriend and i were feeling very dizzy and became nauseated, so i opted to stop and relax at a rest stop for fresh air prior to continuing my trip to vermont. I have installed a carbon monoxide detector in my vehicle, which has activated more than one occasion while driving. At this time i am negotiating with ford's office of general counsel to perform a buyback of my explorer and replace it with a different vehicle.
