Description of the problem | Fumes in cabin when acceleration or climbing uphill grades. Smell comes into explorer when ac is on with recirculate air is on. This fumes are bad, causing very sick stomach, burning in throat and nose. I'm 66 years old and this smell makes me feel real sick, burns my throat and eyes. A allover sick feeling, red face hard to breath, dizzy feeling. We roll windows down and sometime we pull over and exit the car to get air!! The smell is getting worse, we had the explorer for a year and it is awful. I'm afraid to be in car by myself so our new car don't get much use. Make big payments and can't use it. This was our retirement car, now all we have is a car we can't use because it might kill us with all these fumes!! |
