2016 Lincoln MKX: gas smell in the cabin

I have noticed exhaust fumes in the cabin when driving. I drive both highway and city, but it is worse on the highway. I started feeling tires and foggy headed every time I drove. I tried recycling air and open air both but didn't seem to help. I went to the dealership for oil change and told them about the problem. Service concierge said they had another 2016 mkx in at that time with the same problem. I was told they couldn't look at my vehicle for over two weeks and wouldn't have a loaner car until then. I told them I was concerned about driving with the problem and was offered two options... Leave it there until they could look at it, with no loaner car, or for times sake take it to another dealership. This is unacceptable and a liability in my opinion.

On or about august 2017, while driving I noticed exhaust fumes coming into interior of 2016 lincoln mkx SUV which smelled bad and made eyes water. Took car to dealership for the problem: 1. They found that rear weld seams behind left and right tail lights were cracked and also weld seams below left and right tail lights were cracked. 2. Rubber grommet was missing (hole) behind left tail light, rear air vent on right side behind tail light was not working. 3. Dealer sealed weld seams on both sides, (lt & rt) installed black tape over grommet hole with sealant and replaced right rear vent. 4. Then pressure tested interior for leaks.

The vehicle when accelerating lets exhaust and carbon monoxide into car interior. Took the SUV to dealer and has been worked on several times with no fix. Ford motor company field engineer was unable to fine and recommend a repair. Asked ford to repurchase vehicle but they refused saying its norm for the SUV. They did not give any regulations or anything that would support this as we should not have to breathe gas fumes when traveling down a highway. We were told not to use interior circulation and it would help, not to use air the vehicle when accelerating lets exhaust and carbon monoxide into car interior. Took the SUV to dealer and has been worked on several times with no fix. Ford motor company field engineer was unable to fine and recommend a repair. Asked ford to repurchase vehicle but they refused saying its norm for the SUV. They did not give any regulations or anything that would support this other than them just making a statement hoping we go away, we should not have to breathe gas fumes when traveling down a highway. We were told not to use interior circulation and it would help, not to use air conditioner on max. The cabin on car fills with the gas fumes and makes us tired and fatigue when driving for extended period of time. We purchase a luxury SUV as ford would have you to believe but it actually more like a gas chamber having to breath this seems a little too much. I hope the federal safety agency can get ford to acknowledge they have a problem and make them take it seriously and get rid of what is causing the problem.
