Description of the problem | For the past several weeks both me and my wife have noticed a weird smell coming from the 2014 ford explorer that we have. Also on several occasions my wife has complained about feeling dizzy and nauseous from driving but we thought it was nothing serious. Then about a week ago after driving the explorer home from work my wife began to feel lightheaded, nauseous and almost passed out while driving with our 4 young kids in the car. We ended up rushing her to the hospital to see what he problem was, which was the same day that we received the recall notice from ford about carbon monoxide poisoning that was happening in all 2011-2017 ford explorer models. So while she was in the emergency room we had her blood and oxygen levels checked for carbon monoxide poisoning especially because my wife is still breastfeeding our 10 months old daughter. I have recently took my vehicle to a ford dealership for them to correct this issue but my real concern is with this issue affecting millions of vehicles and people, what is the possibility of this happening again. We plan to follow up with our primary care physician to ensure that there are no signs of carbon monoxide being detected within anyone in my immediate family as we drive the 2014 ford explorer daily. I'm reaching out to find out what are some options that we have as ford consumers. I just pray that there are no more serious health issues with my wife and kids from the times they have been inside his vehicle inhaling these poisonious fumes. |
