CO2 Poisoning: Ford Explorer Owners Say Their Suvs Are Making Them Sick by Mrcharming(m): 5:48pm On Mar 20, 2019 |
Ford Explorer Owners Say Their SUVs Are Making Them Sick By Ryan Beene, Margaret Cronin Fisk and Allison McCartney March 20, 2019 Migraine headaches, fatigue and dizziness were sidelining Bert Henriksen several times a week. Evenings were the worst, after his 30-mile commute home in his 2017 Ford Explorer. His behavior grew erratic. He’d get angry over minor things. “We were getting scared that he had some kind of a brain problem,” said his wife, Megan. An answer came last March in a phone call from his doctor: A blood test revealed that Henriksen had been exposed to toxic levels of carbon monoxide gas. But how? The result was consistent with someone who’d been in a house fire, his doctor said, but Henriksen hadn’t been through anything like that. He says his prime suspect was parked in his driveway. Henriksen is among more than 3,000 Ford Explorer owners who’ve complained to Ford or federal regulators that they suspect exhaust fumes have seeped into their sport-utility vehicles’ cabins. Many fear carbon monoxide gas may have made them ill, and dozens of drivers have complained to regulators that the company’s recommended fix wasn’t effective. Explorer owners have filed more than 50 legal claims nationwide against Ford. And some police departments in the U.S. said in 2017 that Explorers used as cruisers were exposing officers to carbon monoxide. Nauseated, Sick and Dizzy Explorer owners have complained to federal officials about various symptoms they attribute to exhaust fumes and carbon monoxide. Culled from Flipboard. |
