Consumer Description

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHILE USING THE A/C, I HAVE NOTICED A BAD ODER.HIS ODER IS NOTICABLE ONCE THE A/C HAS COOLED DOWN THE INTERIOR. I WOULD DESCRIBE HE ODER AS A "POWDERY CHEMICAL" SMELL. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICAL IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE, I ASKED ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD "WE WIL LOOK IN TO IT" AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNRESOLVED. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS SMELL IS DANGERUS BECAUSE I HAVE TWO YOUNG INFANTS AS WELL AS MY WIFE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. *AK
