Reported at 3,000 miles, September 2015 CrashInjury

Anytime the vehicle is running the fumes from the exhaust make me and my kids feel nauseous and giving headaches just from walking to/around the truck to get in. We are taking this truck to the dealer on monday. Being the 3rd dealer we have taken it to in the past year. Have had many other issues out of this vehicle and just cant seem to get them all fixed. For such a pricey vehicle you wouldnt think there would be this many problems.
