Description of the problem | Exhaust fumes entering the cabin under anything more than light acceleration. Less than 3000miles on the car. Used to haul our kids around. I thought it was unusual and then i discovered the long history of this problem with no recall. This needs to be addressed. This is unsafe. Making an appointment with the dealership. Judging by the response from ford , we are not optimistic this will be fixed. Unsafe to drive these cars in this condition. Anytime fumes enter the cabin it is unsafe, regardless of ford's position. Never had this happen in any other car. |
