THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING MY CAR. THERE IS MOLD BUILD UP IN THE AC SYSTEM, WHICH IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO THE HEALTH IF MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY TO MY SON WITH ASTHMA. MOLD CAUSES MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS, AND THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER BUT THE DEALER SAID THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO OUR HEALTH IS AT RISK EVERYTIME WE GET INTO THE CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR. GETTING A DIFFERENT CAR ISN'T AN OPTION UNLESS THIS ONE CAN BE BOUGHT BACK. *TR
