What owners wrote

On june 20, 2019, I bought a 2019 chevy traverse with the understanding that the vehicle was in good condition with no defects. On july the 18 we took vehicle to the service department, due to there was a very strong odor when inside the car. It was causing bloody noses and breathing issues for my family. The smell was so strong that it could be tasted. The dealership took about 15 to 20 minutes to diagnose car as nothing wrong with it. We took it home.
