    Mechanical defect, like Ford Explorers... or when you take a hose from the tailpipe and put the other end inside the car with the engine running, roll up the windows and commit suicide. Not nice.

    Why do you ask?

    During combustion of gasoline, LPG, diesel fuel, natural gas, or other fuels, the fuel is almost always never completely consumed. When this occurs carbon monoxide is formed.
    Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. When too much carbon monoxide enters your body it replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells leading to oxygen deprivation.
    As the effects are cumulative you will eventually die.

    In an automobile the CO2 is conducted through the exhaust system and out the rear end of the car. If there is a leak in the system the fumes can enter the passenger compartment forcing the oxygen out.
    If this occurs and there is no other smell accompanying the CO2 gas you won't know it's happening.

    You will begin to have a headache, become confused, grow physically weak, etc., and eventually pass out and die.

    Grandeur, it sounds like you might be thinking about suicide.

    Do you want some information about some online or phone line support for people who are feeling suicidal?

    There's probably a better way out than suicide.

    I'd like to help if I can

    Wishing you good things

    Ford’s internal investigation found no safety defects and normal levels of CO, and the fact they decided to completely redesign the 2020 ford explorer had nothing whatsoever to do with the future possibility
    of recalling a million vehicles costing hundreds of millions of dollars. after all what's a few hundred million dollars when it comes to the safety of our consumers.

    I never trust 'internal' investigations.

    Send me a message if you want to chat.

    I know several Turkish words, although most of them are not overly helpful unless you want to call someone an asshole or a hooker.

    Ughh I don't like where this thread is going. :(

    You've lately been posting a lot of negative self-talk G. And the more you talk yourself down, the more you're going to truly believe it about yourself. And do horrible things, like suicide.

    I really think you need to take a step back and ask yourself WHY you have such a negative self image. There are thousands of people around the world who have it a lot worse, and would gladly trade their lives with yours in a heartbeat. Such as a Yemenese dirt farmer who just lost his family to a drone strike; he would gladly be facing your current problems. Believe it or not, you have it a LOT better than many people around the world. Do you really want to throw that one life of yours away?

    This better not be some sick joke that you're trying to pull on us. I really hope that you're just trolling everyone, and your persona is all a charade to get people all wound up and worried about you. Suicide is not a laughing matter and getting people worried about you for nothing is truly disgusting. In the last forum I was frequented, there was a user who did just that. He made friends with all the e-people on the message board (myself included) and he posted a suicide note and left for a while. Some people who had his contact info called him and his family members. They found out he just ran away and trolled everyone. Nobody was happy with him when he returned. So please, if this is just a troll post, don't go down this route. However, if this is the real deal, then some of us can gladly offer you the support we can from afar.
