There was hot air flowing in from the front dash and engine cover causing the driver's side to get extremely hot. Reaching down I found a gap around the engine cover that I could put my fingers in. This was directly over the engine so the heat and fumes poured in from this spot. I also felt hot air coming in from under the dashboard. …”

They disconnected the parking brake system, but told my wife that the unit was safe to operate, that the transmission would hold the vehicle when placed in park. …”
