>> ford announcing it will now pay for repairs associated with carbon monoxide leaks. this impacts roughly 1.3 million explorer owners. >> our consumer team has been working on this story for weeks now. susan hogan checks in now with what this means for you. this is really big, isn't it? >> this is very big. you're absolutely right. and remember, this issue with carbon monoxide leaks with the ford explorers. and many op certificates you may remember saying toxic futures were making them sick and sleepy behind the wheel. but we started hearing regular customers who were telling us similar stories. news 4 was among the first to really put ford's feet to the fire after we had a toxicologist test for carbon monoxide in two of our viewers' vex. the results concerning enough that ford had engineers test one of those suvs. our investigation also exposed inconsistencies with how dealerships nationwide were handling complaints of fumes

so we went right to ford and asked them how it plans to deal with these mixed messages and how it's responding to the 2700 complaints now. in a statement, ford tells news 4, for our customers' peace of mind, ford is offering a complimentary service that reduces the potential for exhaust to enter the vehicle. customers can take their vehicles now regardless of mileage or warranty status to a ford dealer to have this service performed starting november 1st, 2017 through december 31st, 2018 to reduce the potential exhaust from entering the vehicle, ford says dealers will reprogram the air conditioner, replace the lift gate drain valves, and inspect sealing of the rear of the car again at all no cost to you. ford continues to say its explorers are safe and it has not found carbon monoxide levels that exceed what people are exposed to every day.

ford, how would it know? our consumer investigation continuecontinues on news 4 at tomorrow night. and it's one of those stories -- we had the story ready to go for tomorrow night but ford came back with these answers to our questions. we felt obviously we had to get this out on the air as soon as possible. but i'll tell you there are a lot of questions still left unanswered. and we asked ford and we'll tell you what happens tomorrow night. >> once again the model years affected? >> 2011 through 2017, all ford explorers, nonpolice and police vehicles included. >> so many of those on the road. >> 1.3 million. >> all right. nice work, susan. >> thank you, susan. and you can watch all of susan's reports that led up to this big development on the nbc washington app. just search ford explorer. well, get ready, get ready for a shock to the system. if you think it feels like fall right now, just wait a few hours. doug kammerer is in the storm center tel
