Description of the problem | Ford explorer 2014 exhaust fumes coming into cabin. I purchased my vehicle from auto nation ford of katy, tx on or about july 12, 2014. Approximately on or about october 21, 2014 began having trouble with the ac ceiling vents closing on 2nd and 3rd row seats closing. I took my vehicle back to the dealer for repairs on august 10, 2015 for the second time and third time on may 2, 2016 and since this has happened three times we know that it will break again for the fourth time. Another issue that has come to recent events and the truck is currently at the service department for exhaust fumes coming into the cabin when we accelerate at more than 3 rpm's as of may 2, 2016 and many times before and we have become aware that this has happened before and we just thought it was the other cars fumes but when we rolled the windows down the fume dissipate and fresh air comes in as long as our windows are down. This has me and my family on red alert and is health hazardous to my wife age forty-two and my children age eight and seven (all have experience headaches and my wife nearly passing out while driving), to date, the dealer has been unable to correct the problem. It has been return to the service department because my daughter an wife where smelling the worst smell to date in the cabin and my daughter was coughing from the bad burn smell she described to me as burnt fumes as my wife. The co2 and exhaust fumes could be negatively impacting her health, as she has experience dizziness and headaches that have prevent her to function, and our families |
