Consumer Description

FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN MAKING THE PASSENGERS NAUSEOUS AND RESULTING IN HEADACHES. WE NOTICED THAT ONLY WHEN WE ARE IN MY HUSBAND'S CAR THAT MY CHILDREN AND I BECOME SICK WITH HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. MY HUSBAND DRIVES TO WORK IN THIS VEHICLE AND USUALLY ARRIVES TO WORK WITH A HEADACHE. HE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE CAR WAS MAKING HIM SICK. HE TRUSTED THE SERVICE PEOPLE WHEN THEY TOLD HIM THE CAR WAS FINE. HE TYPICALLY DIVES ON HIGHWAYS. THE FUMES ARE COMING THROUGH THE VENTS.
