When I drive I have noticed the smell of exhaust entering into the vehicle, through which i believe is the ventilation system. I was wondering what you think the problem is.

Hi Dsaunder24,

If the AC vent is set to fresh air then it would happen.
Other possible cause would be dislodged stoppers on the firewall or damaged vent seals.
