NHTSA Complaint #10095953 — 2004 DODGE RAM 3500

THERE IS AN EXHAUST LEAK COMING THROUGH THE AIR VENTS WHEN THE HVAC FAN IS TURNED ON. I WAS A LITTLE DIZZY & HAD A HEADACHE AFTER A LONG DRIVE BACK HOME FROM SAN ANTONIO. AFTER TALKING TO A PHYSICIAN ABOUT MY CONDITION, HE FELT THAT THE CAUSE WAS MOST CERTAINLY CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY HAVE BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE & THERE IS NO FIX. I'VE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET & FOUND MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR PROBLEM SO I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE. THERE IS EVEN ONE GENTLEMEN THAT BELIEVES HE HAS THE FIX. APPARENTLY DODGE DIDN'T COVER SOME OF THE HOLES BETWEEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT & WERE THE HVAC SYSTEM DRAWS FRESH AIR FOR THE CAB. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS THIS MAY INJURE SOMEONE TERRIBLY.
