WHEN DRIVING I KEEP SMELLING AN ODOR COMING FROM THE VENTING SYSTEM WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. AT TIMES THE ODOR IS STRONGER THAN OTHER TIMES, AND EVEN NAUSEATING AT TIMES. I KEEP TELLING DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A CHEMICAL SMELL. FINALLY AFTER HAVING MY CAR IN SHOP TWICE THEY SAID THAT CHEVY DID A BULLETIN ON A "HEATING BOX" AND THAT IT IS TOO HOT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WE WILL SEE IF THAT IS WHAT IT IS. *TR
