Consumer Description

RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, I HAVE BEGUN NOTICING A ROTTEN EGG/SULFURIC SMELL. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING, AND ALSO IF I AM SITTING AT IDLE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME (AT A RED LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC). I HAVE NOTICED FEELING FATIGUE WHILE DRIVING AS WELL, AND THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THE SMELL MAKES ME NAUSEOUS OR GIVES ME A HEADACHE. I WORK IN EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED WITH THE SMELL THAT IS ENTERING MY VEHICLE.
