“Odor released through vents when air conditioning or defogger is in operations. I have noticed this strong stench; it is quite nauseating. My son has complained about it.

NHTSA complaint #10373293, filed 2010-12, 67,000 miles“The contact stated the check engine light illuminated in the vehicle. Once the gas pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate properly causing the vehicle to drive slowly. On another occasion while pulling out of the parking lot at work, the vehicle totally failed to accelerate and had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership determined the cam speed sensor was bad.”
