Description of the problem | Vehicle exhaust system emits carbon monoxide and other fuel fumes into the cabin on various occasions while driving. Usually occurs during an acceleration with stress as in an uphill push to the top or in local traffic while changing lanes with acceleration stress. These are heavy enough fumes to cause nasal discomfort, on occasion light headed feelings, and throat irritation. The dealer has used all ford motor co. Protocols and the fumes still persist. Fmc has had a regional director contact me which resulted in going to another dealer to try the protocols again. Although there has been some reduction in the volume of fumes, the vehicle still emits the fumes into the cabin. Fmc has now, one plus years later, told me to buy a carbon monoxide meter to test for existence or hire an attorney. No offer of a trade-in at a price to offset the deficiency. That being said, i did test drive two 2019 xlt's and had the same emissions occur in both cars within 24 hours of the over night drives. |
