Being Suffocated in my 2010 Wrangler
I've posted this question in two other forums, but wanted to get some input from this site.
I just bought a new 2010 Wrangler Sport last week. Since then, I have put about 1000 miles on it. When the top is up, the car runs great and is fun to drive.
However, when the top is down, I have a really weird and potentially haszardous problem. With the top down and the heat on, I become extremely dizzy. Yesterday, I tripped over myself and wanted to puke when I got out of my car. It has happened a few times now. I took it to the dealer once, and I was told that there were some stickers/tags and coating oil still left on the exhaust that was causing the problem. They wiped down the exhaust and removed the stickers. Well, it is a week later and I am still having this problem. I took the car to another dealer this morning and am waiting for them to get back to me.
Does anyone here have any ideas? I was thinking of looking into the State's lemon laws if the problem can not be fixed. Though, the last thing I want to do is sue Jeep - I am a loyal Jeep owner and planned to keep this one for life!

Sounds like turbulence behind the Jeep is drawing exhaust forward and into the cavity behind the windshield. I haven't heard anyone else mention a problem like that.
Only with the top down and the heat on?
So, are you saying it doesn't happen with the top down, and the heat OFF?
Does it happen only at certain speeds?
Is the top ALL the way down? I don't have a soft top, but the ones I have seen, the top almost disappears into the tub.
