Description of the problem	At certain times i have a sulfur/exhaust smell that enters the vehicle. It is intermittent, i thought maybe it was exhaust from vehicles in front of me emitting bad fumes, but it has also happened when no other vehicles are around me. It hasn't lasted long 30 seconds to a minute and it's gone. But when the smell comes it's very overpowering, making me want to gag at times. *nm
