2013 SLS cabin air filtration problem
Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 7:47 am
Hey guys, I just got a brand new 2013 Kizashi SLS about a month ago, and everything is phenomenal on this car with just one exception. The air filtration does not seem to filter out odors from my surrounding environment, be it gasoline from a road truck, or odors from a nearby dump yard. I drove through a large cloud of smoke that was let out by a truck, and inhaled a lung full lung of gas which made me really nauseous for a short period. It was almost as if I had my windows opened to welcome the gas into my car. What bothers me the most is that this happened on the first day that I drove this car home. At the time, I just decided to put it past me since it was the first day and the gas was probably just really odorous. However it's been a month of driving this car, and there has not been a time where I could not smell my surrounding environment.
I am currently looking to examine the air filter myself using this video, however after several struggled attempts, I decided that I should probably ask for more detailed instructions here on this forum.
So, can someone please give me detailed instructions on how I can remove and re-install the cabin air filter? I want to be able to do this in the safest most harmless way possible because I really love this car lol.
Some questions that I have in mind that maybe you guys can help me with:
Has anyone ever experienced this problem? If you did, please let me know how you got it resolved.
Could there be another cause to this problem besides a bad air filter?
Please let me know if you guys have any other suggestions! Thank you guys so much for your time.
