The Feds are probing the SUV after owners claim their Ford Explorers are making them sick. More than 1300 owners complained that they feel nauseous & dizzy during their ride in the popular SUV. In July 2017, federal transportation officials expanded their probe into reports of exhaust odors in vehicle compartments and exposure to carbon monoxide that may be linked to crashes and injuries. The oversight agency said at the time it was aware of the growing complaints and crashes that may have been linked to exposure to carbon monoxide and dozens of injuries among police and civilian vehicles.
Ford is dismissing the need to recall its Ford Explorer SUV and is stating that "Explorers are safe & Ford's investigation and extensive testing has not found carbon monoxide levels that exceed what people are exposed to every day".



Ford Explorer-based Police Interceptors sit in a police station parking in Chicago. Police departments are beginning to take the SUVs out of service because the say fumes from the exhaust system are seeping into the SUVs passenger compartment and making officers sick.
