MY VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY HAS AN EXHAUST SMELL WHILE DRIVING AND REGISTERS CO LEVELS FROM 3-5 PPM IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. UNDER HARD ACCELERATION THE CO LEVELS HAVE REGISTER ABOVE 11 PPM. THE SMELL AND CO LEVELS ARE AT THEIR WORST WHEN THE ENGINE IS UNDER A LOT OF STRAIN. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. I HAVE RECORDED CO LEVELS AS HIGH AS 38 PPM WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY AND STILL DO NOT HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. MY WIFE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MONITOR THE CO LEVELS IN OUR CAR. WE ARE AFRAID WE COULD BE CAUSING HARM TO OUR YOUNG CHILDREN AS WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN OUR VEHICLE. IS THERE ANY GUIDANCE ON WHAT THE LEVELS OF CO IN A VEHICLE SHOULD BE? I CANNOT FIND ANY IN MY RESEARCH. I HAVE PICTURES OF MY METER READING HIGH AS WELL AS SERVICE RECEIPTS FROM THE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE GOES BACK THE WEEK OF THE JUNE 18TH FOR THE 3RD ATTEMPT, BUT THE DEALER IS STARTING TO PUSH BACK AND SAYING THAT I AM EXPERIENCING IS NORMAL.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD EXPLORER PLATINUM WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON NOVEMBER 25, 2016. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO REALIZE BUT EVERY TIME I WOULD DRIVE THE EXPLORER, MY EYES WOULD GET VERY HEAVY AND I WOULD DEVELOP A HEADACHE. I COMMUTE 42 MILES EACH WAY FOR WORK AND I CANT COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I ALMOST FELL COMPLETELY ASLEEP. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM TO DUE TO POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) LEAKS ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD THIS LOOKED AT EARLY THIS YEAR. FORD REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND I NOTICED A MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN HOW I FELT WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. RECENTLY, IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN WITH HEADACHES AND FEELING SLEEPY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT FORD CORPORATE ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO EITHER COMPLETELY FIX THE ISSUE OR ALLOW ME TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ONE. THIS IS TRULY A HAZARD NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT FOR MY PASSENGERS (WIFE AND KIDS) AND TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. PLEASE HELP TO GET THIS RESOLVED...

CARBON MONOXIDE / EXHAUST GASES ENTERING THE PASSENGER CABIN WHILE DRIVING MADE ALL PASSENGERS ILL, WITH EXTREME HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM VACATION THE CABIN FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES AND WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. IT STARTED ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE EXPLORER AND OPENING THE WINDOWS OR TURNING ON THE RECIRCULATING AIR IN THE VEHICLE ONLY MADE THE EXHAUST FUMES WORSE. THIS REQUIRED MANY STOPS AND AIRING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE EXPLORER HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR THE FIRST REPAIR OF INSPECTING THE REAR SEAL AND REPROGRAMMING OF THE HVAC SYSTEM. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. CONTINUE TO HAVE EXHAUST FUMES IN THE PASSENGER CABIN.

AT APPROXIMATELY 6:20AM EDT ON MONDAY, 3/12/18 A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INSTALLED IN MY 2017 FORD EXPLORER PLATINUM INDICATED THE PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE PASSENGER CABIN EXCEEDING 100PPM. THIS ALARM WENT OFF WHEN I WAS 5 MINUTES IN TO MY COMMUTE TO WORK WHILE STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT ON A CITY STREET. I ALSO BEGAN GETTING A SEVERE HEADACHE AT THIS TIME. I WENT TO MY DOCTOR ON 3/13/18, ABOUT 24 HOURS SINCE LAST BEING IN THE VEHICLE, AND HAD MY BLOOD TESTED FOR CARBON MONOXIDE PRESENCE. THE CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN TEST CAME BACK WITH ELEVATED LEVELS OF CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN (THE LEVEL WAS 1.7 WHICH IS ABOVE THE 1.5 MAX THRESHOLD FOR NON-SMOKERS) WHICH INDICATES HARMFUL EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE. MY DOCTOR STATED THAT THIS LEVEL WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM SOMEONE INVOLVED IN A FIRE. ON 3/12/18 I ALSO DROPPED MY VEHICLE OFF AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR INVESTIGATION. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NOT INSPECTED ANY PASSENGER MODEL FORD EXPLORERS FOR THE CARBON MONOXIDE ISSUE, ONLY POLICE INTERCEPT VEHICLES, OF WHICH THEY HAVE ONLY INVESTIGATED 2. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY SERVICE BULLETINS SENT BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR THIS ISSUE.

I AM AN ATTORNEY FILING THIS REPORT ON BEHALF OF AND AT THE REQUEST OF MY CLIENT, THE VEHICLE'S OWNER. THE COMPLAINT IS A NOXIOUS ODOR WHICH FILLS THE VEHICLE DURING ITS OPERATION; AFTER NUMEROUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS BY FORD, THIS CONCERN HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER HAS OBSERVED THE INTERIOR HAS BECOME INUNDATED WITH A NOXIOUS, OVERWHELMING, AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ODOR OF GASOLINE, EXHAUST AND/OR FUMES. THE DRIVER HAS FELT ILL EFFECTS AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS AS A RESULT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS AND BECAUSE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN FOR ANY SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT FILLING WITH THIS ODOR. THE ISSUE HAS MOST OFTEN BEEN OBSERVED WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN THE ENGINE IS UNDER LOAD, I.E. ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE SHORTLY AFTER THE TIME OF PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST REPAIR ATTEMPT BY THE DEALER FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE WAS MADE IN JULY OF 2017. AT LEAST 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE SUBSEQUENTLY. THE ISSUE CONTINUES. THIS LAW FIRM HAS REQUESTED THAT FORD TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE AND REFUND THE CLIENT'S PURCHASE PRICE UNDER ARIZONA'S MOTOR VEHICLE WARRANTIES STATUTE.

STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST INSIDE THE CABIN. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO FORD THREE TIMES AND HAS MODIFICATIONS COMPLETED BUT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS MORE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH THE AIR ON RECIRCULATE. THE LAT TIME I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER I WAS TOLD TO NOT PUT IT ON RECIRCULATE WHICH IS NOT UP TO MY STANDARD AS I PAID $30K FOR THE VEHICLE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT AS I WANT. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND IT IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY MY WIFE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WOULD LIKE A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS POINT.
