Description of the problem | Vehicle started smelling of rottem eggs or dead rodent around 30,000 miles. Vehicle was purchased in october 2014. Brought to dealer in march 2017 to see if they could effect repairs. Dealer cleaned out filters and tried to isolate the problem. Unable to do so. Smell persists whenever vehicle is closed. Smell is so pervasive that entire garage now smells of rotten eggs or dead rodent. Recently parked at airport parking for 4 days. Upon return smell in cabin was overpowering to the degree that my wife was extremely nauseated. Opening windows helped but did not solve problem. Smell seems to be coming through ventilation/ac system. Am extremely frustrated that action to repair is is taking so long. In reading other complaints this problem does not seem to be getting the necessary priority that it deserves. |
