04/15/2006 | 150 | 3 | 04/15/2006 |
Ford 2005 e250 has been identified with formaldehyde poison in it at above danger levels to humans which can cause serious health issues. the van is custom done by a company in mississippi. the a/c unit in the rear doesn't work and was in for service 3 times and over the 15 day requirement for lemon law in the state of fl where it was sold. after the lemon law is completed i am going to request that a national alert be issued to make sure no one else becomes sick due to this toxic fumes but we can not do it at this time. *jb |
