| Exhaust is being pulled into back window when cracked and the vehicle resets the air flow to recycle. i crack the back window to allow heat to escape and had the air flow set on fresh air. i make a stop and get back into the car the window is still cracked. some time later there is a smell of exhaust and i realize the flow was reset and fumes are getting pulled into the vehicle. the biggest problem is my child is in the back seat and she is already choking when the odor gets to me. *tr | |||
