When you pulled out from a stop, your air conditioning vents suddenly blew a chemical mixture directly into your face that caused temporary blindness, severe hyperventilation, muscle cramps, and numbness in your arms and legs. Testing showed the air contained isobutane, butane, 2-methyl butane, pentane, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes circulating through your truck. The air conditioning system will need to be inspected and serviced to identify and remove the source of these chemicals.

No one can drive the vehicle without becoming ill. The air conditioning system will need to be professionally tested and serviced to identify and eliminate the source of these toxic fumes.
