CO detector in car

I drive a 2013 Ford Explorer and recently heard about a service bulletin dealing with exhaust leaking into the cabin. I haven't noticed any exhaust smell or funny feelings, but I'm worried that I won't notice if it does start happening (CO being odorless/colorless/etc). Am I justified in installing a CO detector in my car, if only to ease my paranoia?

if you're worried that your condition might be caused by CO it would be a good way to do so before you get into an accident or pass out from carbon monoxide poisoning

edgy, I bet you don't wear your seat belt or use your turn signals either?

Condition? I didn't notice anything strange before I read the service bulletin and saw a few news articles on the subject. I only drive 4 miles each way to work and back, so it's not really enough time for CO to have any real effect anyway. That said, I don't want to find out on a longer drive if my car is affected.

Either way, Fuck Ford for screwing up the rear hatch design/shut lines/seals, that's apparently the culprit and I've noticed on multiple Explorers that the rear hatch doesn't line up well/evenly with the quarter panels and sides. Embarrassing shit.

do you smell a gas odor or otherwise have symptoms? a CO detector wouldn't hurt but it probably won't address your problem, if one exists (ford owners say the TSBs haven't really addressed the problem hence the pending class action and fed probe).

I don't smell anything at all in the cabin unless I roll down my windows and accelerate from a stop. Then there's a faint exhaust smell. Windows up and I notice nothing at all, with recirc or fresh air on.

I don't ever get symptoms, pretty sure it'd be very quickly obvious if I did. I have AAA so if the alarm ever went off, I could just pull over and have the car towed to the house/dealership.

not one of these retarded electronic ones.
get the ones they use in general aviation. they change color in case of CO present, and they are cheap

I didn't even know this was a thing - Thanks anon, this is actually cheaper than buying one of these obnoxious loud ones too.

It takes time for cheap type in you picture to work. If you have a CO alarms in your home just put one in you car then idle the car for 15 minutes w/o the fans going. Come back in an hour and check the reading. It's that fucking easy.
