| Description of the problem | We purchased our 2007 suburu in march 2007 as a new car from a suburu dealer in california. My daughter has been getting car sick and has had chronic health issues since 9/11/2007. We notice the air inside the car is rancid. Please test the inside air quality of this vehicle for fumes, particularly unsafe levels of benzene. I believe this car is making my family sick and don't want to drive it (but have to) or sell it and expose other potential victims to the toxins. I am not sure what component this is, but can describe it as the inside air quality of which occupants are breathing. |
