Smell of Exhaust Fumes in Prius Cab

handwich · 03-03-2006, 01:04 PM

Hello All,

I am new to this chat, and after some research online, couldn't find exactly the information i was looking for. Forgive me if this exists somewhere else within this forum, but am in quick need to identify if I have a problem with my Prius.

Sometimes, when driving, I have the distinct smell of exhaust entering the cab of my Prius. I have taken steps to ensure that my vents are not open and recycling the air of the outside fumes/exhaust upon the highway. Wondering if anyone else has heard of this or experienced the same?

Should add that its a 2005 Prius, with just over 7,000 miles on it.

Any help, comments and/or suggestions would be of great benefit!

Thanks,
M.

I would play it safe and take it back to Toyota to see what they have to say. Also you might stop into a muffler shop for an inspection.
