The lining in the trunk is decomposing creating an odor that is smelled in the driver/passenger compartment of the car. I as the only driver have been diagnosed with xylene exposure. This is the most likely and probably only source of xylene in my life.

I leased a new Nissan Sentra in March '06. In November of '06 I moved and started parking downhill. It has leaked ever since into the driver side floor. The service department at the dealership have tried to fix the problem now for 8 weeks and it continues to leak. The manufacturer and dealer continue to tell me they are still trying to find the problem.

I bought my 2006 Nissan Sentra in May 2006, and the glove compartment continues to fall out. In all the cars that I have had, I never had a glove compartment fall out.
