Consumer Description

24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE (200 MILES DRIVEN) A CHEMICAL ODOR AND IRRITANT FILLS THE CANE, MY 6 YEAR OLD STATED THE AIR HAS PEPPER IN IT. THE ISSUE WORSENED WHEN OPERATING THE HEAT/AC FUNCTION CAUSING EYES TO BURN, HEADACHE AND DISORIENTATION. MANY OWNERS ON PUBLIC FORUM HAVE NOTED SAME ISSUE AND COMMONLY MENTION THE CAUSE TO BE A REACTION OF FAULTY MANUFACTURED COOLANT HOSE BEING DISSOLVED BY THE COOLANT. CHRYSLER AND DEALERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AS CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE OF TOXIC FUMES GREATLY INCREASES RISK OF CRASH. NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
