Consumer Description

THERE IS A VERY STRONG DIESEL EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS SO STRONG MY WIFE IS UNABLE TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE NAUSEA IT CAUSES HER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. EVERYONE THAT HAS RIDDEN IN MY TRUCK, EXCEPT ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DODGE DEALER I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FOR REPAIR, ASKS WHAT IS CAUSING THE SMELL. THE DODGE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN NOT SMELL ANYTHING. FROM RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET I KNOW NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CONCERNS. DODGE SEEMS UNWILLING TO WORK WITH ME AND I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CHECK OUT MY CONCERNS AND SEE IF IT WARRANTS AN OFFICIAL RECALL. THIS IS ON THE NEW 3.0L ECO-DIESEL ENGINE. *TR
