Relay

  • 86,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Saturn Relay. The contact stated that within three months, the interior of the vehicle darkened by three shades. The contact stated that there was a strong metallic smell inside the vehicle that had even affected her breathing. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that there was a foreign hose attached to the catalytic converter that could have been the cause of the toxic leak. The contact became very ill and strong traces of cadmium, lead and Mercury were found in her blood system. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 86,000.
