Description of the problem | We purchased a brand new 2018 ford explorer in september of 2018.

I was in and out of drs weekly sometimes more than weekly for these episodes. Drs thought it was anxiety so would increase medications, or change medications and i continued with same symptoms. I drove the explorer numerous times a day as i have kids and would feel this way 90% of my day every day. I went thru physical therapy, mental therapy and also sent to a heart doctor up until 2 months ago when we purchased another vehicle and i never had a issue while driving that. My fianc |
