Ford Motor Company ripoff Making America Ill through faulty design which creates extremely harmful Toxins Oakville Ontario
On good faith, I purchased for cash, a brand new 1998 Ford Taurus at Salon Ford in Montreal which then almost immediately, proceeded to make me extremely ill, resulting symptoms included the following: i.e. cough, eye irritation, nasal irritation and congestion, throat irritation, nausea, headache, hoarseness, change of voice, skin irritation, drowsiness, tiredness, reduced mental capacity, mental fatigue,and a changed sensation of odour and taste.
The problem ( and faulty design ) is with the vehicle's heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system ( HVAC ). In this car, the air conditioning system lets stagnant water accumulate in it's air ducts thereby allowing the growth of mould and fungus colonies, of which, some species are extremely toxic and caused my illness. It has been proven that these species of toxins are being produced by this HVAC system in massive quantities namely one being aspergillus fumigatus which was dicovered in astronomical quantities in the cab of my car.
My research to date shows that a minimum of 16 Ford makes and models, over a period of at least 8 years have the same faulty HVAC system installed as standard equipment, thereby affecting countless millions of drivers and passengers using these vehicles on the road today.
All I have asked of Ford is to take my research seriously, repair the faulty design, and offer reasonable compensation. Needless to say, even these minimal requests have been met with cold indifference and denial of any responsibility.
Worse than that, at many levels within the Ford Company, the response has been condescending ridicule towards my efforts to raise awareness of this situation.
This research has resulted in our distributing hard copies of a binder (300 pages approx.) on this case to several third parties.
Several responses to this information distribution has resulted in further information being received by us only reinforcing what we have been saying for years.In the interim, I visited many doctors and I found out that a granuloma was present in my left lung. What wonderfull news!! I stopped using the car because it was slowly killing me!
I have to do something with my lemon but as you probably know, Ford cares more about their bottom line than human life. It is more than 4 years now that I'm stuck with my Lemon Ford Taurus (which registers approx.18000km) that I can't use.!
Interestingly, not once has Ford denied this problem exists or even attempted to refute any of our research. Just the same old responses denying any responsibility. They continued playing the musical chair game, saying "your case has been forwarded to..." or like "we've no further comment."...etc.
Due to this never changing attitude on Ford's part, we felt it imperative to inform the driving public of this deadly danger lurking in so many vehicles on the road.
It is for this reason, I have taken it upon myself to create a web-site ( www.fordlemon.com )reproducing all the research and correspondence Ford already has in it's possession.
As my personal motto states: "Things may go wrong as they sometimes will, when the road I am trudging seems all up hill, when care is pressing me down a bit, rest if I must, BUT I WILL NEVER QUIT."

Gerald The Great Thorn Feels that you should contact Big shots at Ford and tell them as to how you feel about what they build.
Use this above email list and phone numbers to your advantage.
Very soon The Great Thorn will be recording Car dealer's radio and TV advertising and sending it to the FTC. I Feel that there is a bucket full of deception that needs KICKED OVER!!
