The contact complained about an ongoing problems with the emission system. The vehicle has been seen by the service dealer five times for emission problems, and they have never been able to completely remedy the problem. After the vehicle was serviced the same emission problems recurred. The check engine light came on and fumes entered the vehicle. The manifold gasket, oxygen sensor, idle control sensor, and other emission parts have been replaced. Currently, the check engine light was on, fumes were entering the vehicle, and the contact was planning to return the vehicle to the service dealer for additional repairs.
