Pontiac Vibe Engine And Engine Cooling Exhaust System Safety Report | July 05, 2009
Reported on July 05, 2009
| 2 WEEKS AGO, I STARTED SMELLING A GAS ODOR COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR AS I DROVE. THEN AS I STARTED IT AND STOPPED IT ; I SMELLED IT. NOW IT SMELLS LIKE EXHAUST ALL THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY WENT OVER THE ENTIRE EXHAUST AND GAS SYSTEM AND SAID IT IS FINE. THEY AGREED THERE IS A CHEMICAL SMELL , BUT NOTHING IS WRONG OR THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WOULD ALERT US. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND IT STILL SMELLS LIKE EXHAUST, NOT A CHEMICAL . MY HUSBAND AND I BECAME NAUSEOUS DRIVING AFTER AND HOUR LAST WEEK AND HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. HE SAID HE WAS LIGHT HEADED. IT NEVER SMELLED LIKE THIS BEFORE AND I CAN'T STAND DRIVING IT NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT STINKS BUT POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE. *KB | |
