Description of the problem	I drove up and down the western united states on highways and city streets. I drove 16 hours a day for about 1 week. I received a check engine light with a warning that there was a small evap leak. After being serviced this warning did not appear again. I believe the thresholds were updated to ignore small evap leaks. Around october 28, 2019, i noticed the floor board of my vehicle overheating. I also detected more exhaust fumes entering the cabin. I believe the catalytic converters are less effective and a blockage is causing more exhaust to leak from the emissions system. However no check engine light warning so the manufacturer will not repair under warranty. I was initially getting headaches and experiencing pain in my spinal cord. Now i am experiencing chest pains while driving.
