Description of the problem | We have noticed intermittent odors in the cabin. Sulphur smelling odor after accelerating quickly (for example passing, merging). It happens when the heat is on, or off. It has happened intermittently for as long as we can recall however the smell is now (approx. The last year) noticeable just about any time we do highway driving. It almost exclusively happens on the highway. On the infrequent occasion that i need to make a quick acceleration while doing around-town driving, the smell can be noticed. I am currently receiving medical attention for severe symptoms of, what i believe to be, carbon monoxide exposure. Symptoms include extreme fatigue and headaches. |
