Description of the problem | I purchased my vehicle used in 2016. After a month i noticed a very strong smell of propane. I have since taken it to 2 shops, one which specializes in fords, and neither have ever heard if the problem occurring in other fords nor did they find any issues with the exhaust. The odor is overwhelming. Today a friend sent me the link from a story on this issue that cbs had run yesterday. I'm glad to know that this is not only happening to my vehicle and hope that there is a fix for it as my entire family has become nauseous several times while riding in the car. |
