Description of the problem | While driving my vehicle in congested traffic, the air conditioning unit released all of the r-134 a into the enclosed cab. I was exposed to the substance for quite awhile before i realized what had happened. I finally pulled off of the road, and exited the vehicle. I had severe headaches and nausea for a couple days. If i had an infant in the vehicle, there could have been a death due to this malfunction. *la |
