| Description of the problem | My jeep cherokee developed an obvious smell in the spring or 2015. I did not smell the mold problem until this point, and the jeep smelled during the first 10 minutes of running the a/c, and then the odor would dissipate. The dealer could not smell the odor, and they sprayed a deodorizer in the interior vents. After the dealer sprayed the deodorizer, the smell coming from the vents was unbearable. I couldn't breathe. I took the jeep back for the second time, and the service person advised that he had never smelled anything so bad, and that he called chrysler, and chrysler was aware of the problem and it was mold. He said that chrysler was sending a kit to clean the a/c with chemicals. During the time that i drove this jeep, i became very ill, all symptoms that are consistent with mold exposure. |
