What owners wrote
Twice since purchasing my new explorer I have gotten deathly ill while driving, had to pull over and be taken by ambulance to the emergency room. I'm 70 years old and had thought it was a medical issue. However, I have been poked and probed for every possible aliment and all have come back negative and am in great health. Even my heart tests were outstanding. I saw the explorer stories on the news, looked up carbon monoxide poisoning and note those were the symptoms I had.
