Since I bought an Imprezza Sport in April 2016, I have had serious problems with toxic effects. 1. Overpowering smell of new car; within a week I had headaches, sneezing, congested head, raspy throat, etc. Lasted one month, The dealer took the car for two weeks and aired it out day and night. 2. First time I used defroster was in a heavy rainstorm with black out conditions. A film formed on the outside of the windshield resembling popcorn packaging. Vision greatly impaired on a dark highway. On coming lights from cars blinded vision, and I had to stop the car. 3. After a two hour drive with air conditioning running, developed same symptoms as #1. Lasted two weeks. 4. During two 7-hour drives, blacked out. On one trip, car ran off edge of road. On the other trip, car ran into on-coming lane. (No traffic, fortunately!) 5. Twice after driving with air conditioning running, became breathless when walking in areas that normally are no problem. Has anyone else had such experiences or heard of same? I do not normally have any of these symptoms.
