Diesel fumes came out of passenger air vents making myself nautious and sick from co2 poisoning. Bought it in to the ford dealer and service manager smelled the problem, said that there might be a problem with the y flange on exhaust manifold. Called back and pulled manifold and didnt see a problem was going to order a new one. Says not an uncommon problem.
