Consumer Description

STRONG BURNING AND/OR FUEL SMELL FILLED THE PASSENGER CABIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MOST NOTABLY WHEN THE CAR WAS OPERATING IN 'ENGINE RUNNING DUE TO TEMPERATURE' MODE. THE ODOR WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE DIZZINESS AND REQUIRED TO THE WINDOWS TO BE OPENED TO VENT THE CABIN. THE SMELL AND ORDER NOW IS PERSISTENT EVEN WHEN DRIVING IN ALL-ELECTRIC MODE. MY INTENSION IS TO REPLACE THE CABIN AIR FILTER WITH A CARBON AIR FILTER PER 16-NA-127.
