At engine idle with vehicle parked or driving in heavy traffic, exhaust fumes are entering the passenger compartment. I am not aware of any apparent exhaust leak. The fumes seem to be entering by way of the fresh air intake. I have confirmed CO readings with 2 different detection devices. If the vehicle is moving the readings have been 3-96 ppm. If the vehicle remains stopped with engine running, readings have been +100 ppm. This is a life safety concern. My local dealer had a service appointment over 1 week out 10/22/25. I asked Stellantis to escalate the case and have a reference number. # 94485584 I have lost the use of my vehicle and have not received a closer service appointment.
