We are experiencing frustration in getting a resolution to noxious exhaust fumes that enter the interior of the vehicle. This is most notably upon acceleration (such as when you enter the interstate and quickly accelerate). We have gone to a local repair, called a local dealer, changed out air and cabin filters, but to no avail. The fumes are horrible. We purchased the car from a used car lot in the spring of 2018…

Cabin is filling with extremely intense smell of carbon monoxide. It is impossible to drive as you can not stay in it for more than a few minutes. It doesn't matter if your just driving around town (5-10 miles per hour) or if you try to go on a highway (40-60 mph). It just gets worse. After a brief time you get lightheaded and nauseated. I had the vehicle to a ford dealer a few months ago to supposedly fix the…
