Fumes coming from the exhaust system are so strong that consumer is unable to drive with the windows down. The dealer is not able to correct this problem. Also, when taking foot off brake pedal, brakes do not release completely. This happens during normal braking, no inclement weather. Brake booster was replaced. Consumer still experiencing the same problem.
Dt: the contact stated vehicle stalled. Although the engine died it easily restarted. He took the vehicle to a dealer. The dealer discovered the problem was the intake manifold gasket.
