The car got alcohol smell since the first day I bought it. Then it made me dizzy & cough badly all the time, sometime I was thinking that if somebody light up a cigarette which may put my car into fire since there are alcohol smell all over. I began open all the windows whenever I drive this car ( no matter how cold it is, or even when it is raining.). and besides drive it to work, I never drive it during the weekend. Because I think my body need some rest from this car. I did not know how bad it could be untill I read a book talk about how dangerous the emitted gasses from the car could hurt people's health, after I read that book I stopped to drive the car & begin to find out how to take care the problem. Before I am sure the car is safe to drive, I would not drive it or sale to other people. I wish no body will get hurt by this car. Please take care this car's problem. Otherwise I really don't know how to do with this car. I am taking bus eveyday to go to work since Jan. And the dealer can't find the problem. Ford told me to call your dept. Is there a kind equipment which can test the inside car air quality to see is it safe to human health. ?, it would not be good if any body get dizzy (co, O3, hc, ...) from the bad air quality inside the car on the high way. I think there shoud be a equipment for the public to check their inside car air quility, so everybody know they are safe to breath in the car and safe to drive the car without hurt their health & not hurt other people on the high way. We need such a equipment. & every car sold from the dealer should. Pass the "inside air quility " test. Please help me !!!!! thanks for your time.
