Description of the problem | There is a strong exhaust smell in the cabin of the vehicle under medium/heavy acceleration. It comes through the a/c vents and is way stronger in the rear back seats than the front seats. I have to roll down the windows for a few miles to let it air out. Once at highway speeds the smell will disappear until you start climbing a hill or steep grade or you were forced to slow down and get back up to highway speeds. The dealer has stated they can not duplicate my concerns. I have three small children that all ride in the back please tell me what are my options at this point. |
