Consumer Description

IN 2014 I BOUGHT THIS CHEVY IMPALA FROM A LOCAL DEALER. OVER TIME A STRONG ODOR SKUNK LIKE SMELL RADIATES FROM THE VEHICLES INTERIOR. AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IT STILL WOULDN'T GO AWAY. I RECENTLY DID SOME ONLINE INVESTIGATION AND FOUND OUT GM ISSUED A TSB #08-08-110-019 FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A REALLY STRONG ODOR AFRAID SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET SICK. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS TO GET IT FIXED, I THINK GM SHOULD BE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.
