What owners wrote
Tl* the contact leased a 2018 ford explorer. The contact detected an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle that was so strong, she could taste fuel. The dealer later replaced the door seals, but the failure continued. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 18v807000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that a passenger inside the vehicle experienced nausea and headaches while the vehicle was in operation. Medical attention was not received.
When starting vehicle, the inside of my vehicle fills with a strong smell of gas. This is an ongoing and reoccurring issue. I believe it may be the cause of my 6 year olds child's frequent headaches and bouts with nausea that began at the same time I started noticing the gas smell issue.
