Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Ever since i have bought the 2003 hyundai elantra new 2 years ago, i had nothing but problems. i have had serious exhaust problems, and have been to the dealer several times about this. i have been really sick, breathing in the fumes from the car. my carbon monoxide level is high, and i have been having trouble breathing for a long time now. the dealer refuses to see a problem with the car. i have had people drive in my car, and smell this exhaust. the exhaust smells like a skunk, and backs up through the front inside vents, it smells behind the car, and i cannot open the windows, because the smell is so strong it comes through the windows when opened to. the dealer keeps saying they don't smell anything. this is a very serious matter, and it amazes me that people care about money, instead of someone's health and safety. *nm
