| There is an exhaust leak coming through the air vents when the hvac fan is turned on. i was a little dizzy & had a headache last night after a long drive back home from north florida. after talking to a physician about my condition, he felt that the cause was most certainly carbon monoxide poisoning. i have mentioned this problem to the dealership & they have been unresponsive. they say that they have never heard of this problem before & there is no fix. i've researched the internet & found many others that have experienced a similar problem so i know i'm not alone. there is even one gentlemen that believes he has the fix. apparently dodge didn't cover some of the holes between the engine compartment & were the hvac system draws fresh air for the cab. i will attempt this fix but still wanted to make an official report of this issue in the event something happens to me or the vehicle as a result of this problem. *jb | |||
