Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2001 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA USED IN JULY 2006. EVER SINCE, THERE HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE SMELL OF CRAYONS INFUSED THROUGHOUT MY CAR. I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE SMELL OUT. HOWEVER, THIS SMELL IS BECOMING A DAILY BURDEN FOR ME TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES SINCE I GET HEADACHES AND REALLY AFFECTS MY ALLERGIES. I TRIED TO RESEARCH THIS SMELL AND FOUND MANY FORUMS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SAYING THAT IT IS COMING FROM A CHEMICAL IN THE CARPET. I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY VOLKSWAGEN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT CAN BE VERY SERIOUS. CHEMICALS SEEPING THROUGH THE CARPETS AND THE DRIVER BREATHING IT IN EVERY TIME THEY DRIVE IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT A DRIVER SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT. A CAR IS UNSAFE ENOUGH BUT TO ADD TOXINS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I DIDN'T PAY FOR A CAR TO GET HEADACHES AND BREATH IN CHEMICALS WHEN I DRIVE IT. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO A PROBLEM THAT HAS REALLY BECOME A BURDEN ON MY EVERYDAY LIFE! *TR
