| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2006 subaru forester from a used car dealership on 5/10/2016.. It had a new car smell when i first bought it that smelled like armor all, so believed the smell would subside. However, not only did it not subside it has grown worse. I have been experiencing physical reactions to this smell. My eyes have been burning, nose irritation, sore and swelling throat and the worst i'm having asthma attacks ever since i've started driving this vehicle. I'm not sure what to do at this time so have been investigating, hich has lead me to this site. |
