Consumer Description

I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE. WHILE DRIVING I GET A VERY STRONG ODOR OF ANTI-FREEZE OR MOTOR FUMES THAT ARE INSIDE THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE HEATER FAN IS ON OR OFF, THE ODOR STILL GETS INSIDE THE CAR. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND WAS FIRST TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE INSIDE CAB FILTER, WHICH ISN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, AND IT STILL SMELLS. MY COMMUTE TO WORK IS 1 HOUR AND WITHIN 10 MILES I HAVE BEEN GETTING SICK TO MY STOMACH AND HEADACHES. THE CAR IS GOING BACK TO GARAGE AGAIN TODAY FOR THE 3RD TIME AND I AM PREDICTING THEY WILL AGAIN CHARGE US TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM OR SIMPLY TELL US THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. *JS
