Description of the problem | On 22 july i went to snowshoe, wv, and on 24 july i returned from snowshoe. I smelled sulfurish exhaust 4 times this trip. It occurred on uphill grades where the vehicle had downshifted. 3 new places, all at 55 mph or greater, uphill and involving a downshift, ie higher exhaust volume and pressure. Indicating to me the problem is getting worse. Like an exhaust seal breaking down. When i got home, i went to get something from the front passenger seat. When i went to open the door the odor was the strongest i has smelled it. Reinforcing my belief it is exhaust escaping before the catalytic converter. Also meaning i am probably getting a healthy dose of carbon monoxide all the time from this exhaust leak. Please do a recall!!!!! |
