Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE CRANKCASE OIL VAPORS ENTERING PASSANGER COMPARTMENT CAUSED BY THE IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE OPEN VENT SYSTEM.THE HEAVY SMELL AND VAPORS WILL BURN YOUR EYES AND CAUSE A PERSON TO BECOME SICK I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHILE STOPPED AT SIGNALS ETC. THE VAPORS AND SMELL WILL DISSIPATE SOME AFTER TWO TO THREE THOUSAND MILES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE BUT RETURNES AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE. I'VE BEEN INFORMED BY DEALERS THIS IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO RSOLVE AT THIS TIME.
