Beetle

  • miles
Chemical odor inside car. Recently purchased a 2002 VW Beetle. The inside of the car smells like burnt crayons. It is so strong it burns my eyes and the smell gets in your hair and in your clothing. This cannot be healthy to be breathing. I live in ms and the heat seems to make the smell stronger. I've read many threads with a lot of people on line complaining of this same problem but VW dealership says they cannot help.
