NHTSA Complaint #10928173 — 2015 RAM 2500

MY TRUCK HAS RAW BURNING DIESEL EXHAUST COMING IN THE AIR VENTS ON THE DASH THAT POISONED MY FAMILY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR BEFORE WE WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. YOU CAN SMELL THE SOLVENT/SPRAY PAINT TYPE SMELL 100 FOOT DIAMETER ON A CALM DAY. PARKED 99% SINCE MAY 5TH BECAUSE 1 DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE OTHER REFUSES TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOW BEING TOWED TO A THIRD DEALERSHIP. MY SON AND I HAD ELEVATED CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS IN OUR BLOOD THE DAY THE RAM MECHANIC ADVISED US IT WAS DIESEL EXHAUST.THE SKIN ON MY FACE, ARMS,KNEES WAS BLISTERING AND FALLING OFF FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I FIRST ASKED DOCTORS IN OCTOBER 2015 AND REMAINED IN THE DEFECTIVE TRUCK UNTIL MAY 2016. MY VISION WAS BLURRY WHEN DRIVING AND MY EYES WERE BURNING. WE THOUGHT IT WAS GLUE SMELL OR NEW CAR SMELL. MY 11 YEAR OLD SON WAS DIZZY, HAD HEADACHES, AND WOULD FALL ASLEEP QUICKLY EVERYDAY. HE COMPLAINED TO HIS SCHOOL AFTER WE SAT IN TRAFFIC EVERY MORNING. WE HAD BREATHING PROBLEMS AND TOXICOLOGIST AT UC DAVIS MEDICAL CENTER CONFIRMED AGGRAVATED SKIN DAMAGE FROM DIESEL EXHAUST. WHEN WE PARKED THE TRUCK ALL HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, SLEEPINESS, SKIN BLISTERS, BURNING EYES, COUGHING ATTACKS, AND CONFUSION WENT AWAY. SKIN IS NOW PERMANENTLY DAMAGED AND NO NEW SKIN SPOTS OR BLISTERING HAVE APPEARED SINCE PARKING THE TRUCK, BUT IT STILL FALLS OFF EVERY DAY. MY EYES ARE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. THE FUTURE EFFECTS OF DIESEL CHEMICALS ARE UNKNOWN. MY TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY SON TO SCHOOL 2 MILES BECAUSE WE SIT IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAB FILLS WITH FUMES. THE FUMES ALSO COME IN AT EVERY STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE CARB SAID THE SOLVENT TYPE SMELL IS RAW DIESEL BURNING IN THE EXHAUST PIPE AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING,MY EXHAUST SHOULD HAVE NO SMELL AT ALL.CARB SAID THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM MAY NOT BE RECOGNIZABLE ON THE DIAGNOSTICS BEING PLUGGED IN TO THE TRUCK COMPUTER. PLEASE HELP! *TR
