What owners wrote
Carbon monoxide entering the passenger compartment. Horrific odors. Dealer states do not drive vehicle on short trips and refuses correction of identified issue.
Defective part. Exhaust manifold failed and is out of warranty. Dealer would not cover repair cost due to being out of warranty. This type of part should not have failed in three years no matter what the milage is. It caused driver (me) to breath exhaust fumes and I became light headed and sick. Weather was too cold to drive with windows open. Manufacturer should cover the cost of this repair.
