I had a feeling sick while driving my car. I placed a smoke and carbon monoxide detector in the cabin. The detector went off. I tried different things windows up windows down, recuperate open and close and detector alarmed. I brought my car to Doggett Toyota they found a leak in engine that was running to exhaust. I paid for $117 for estimate and $337 for part. The service department is pressing me to let them use my carbon monoxide detector. I refuse. When I went pick up the car fumes plus soap smell is still in the car. Detector still alarm 229ppm.They only offer to rent a ccar which I cannot drive because of health reasons. Other 2020 are carmys are recalled because oil leak and possibly damage to engine block. I requested my car be examined for the same problems as recall. The service department says I need ask corporate to send there own mechanic and I pay for it. Hours of run around miscommunication. That car is not safe to drive. Dealership doesn't have carbon monoxide detector or means to detect the smoke in the cabin. Service members all over the place, texting on cell phone, walking away while on phone with corporate etc.

While going up a hill with a right hand curve at about 50 mph I heard a loud noise that sounded like two pieces of metal coming together. At the time I had no idea what caused the noise but thought maybe I ran over a piece of metal that the the wheel threw up. I took the car to the dealer and they checked the under side and told there was no sign of any damage that might have been done. I have all wheel drive and the noise was so mechanical I now think the drive wheel was changing and and it had an out of sync connection which resulted in the loud noise. The vehicle was in motion, on a paved highway, going up a hill that had a right hand curve, I was steering through the curve at about 50 mph. I do not know the exact cause of the loud noise but believe it involved the all wheel drive feature.5/9/2021

During multiple episodes whether the car is at a stop or in motion there is a delay from when the accelerator is depressed to when the engine responds and revs leading to more power and speed. For example when stopped at a light trying to make a left turn, I press the accelerator down and there is no major change in speed and revs until seconds later when then engine then goes from 1000rpms to 3000rpms. This can be dangerous and almost led to an accident as there was an oncoming car that almost hit me as I was trying to make the turn. Also happened when I was trying to accelerate to merge onto the highway and there was an acceleration delay for a safe merge.
