Consumer Description

THERE IS A FUEL ODOR COMING INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE VENTS. IT SEEMS TO GET STRONGER AS I RUN THE AIR OR HEAT AND EVENTUALLY GETS TO THE POINT OF SMELLING SO BAD, I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO GET FRESH AIR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I USE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE GONE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY SAID IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY TAKING MY VEHICLE TO OTHER PLACES TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND THEY MAY HAVE SPILLED OIL ON THE ENGINE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A VALID COMPLAINT SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT GETS SO STRONG SOMETIMES, I GET A HEADACHE FROM THE FUMES. THIS CAN NOT BE GOOD TO BREATHE IN THESE FUMES. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SOON. *AK
