Has anyone had the dealer change the settings to air recirculating? I am taking mine back in this week to see if there is a fix that works. I literally had an asthma attack this week while stuck in traffic behind a smoky diesel, the second time in the last 3 months. If it can't be fixed I will be trading in and going back to Toyota. I drove a f250 this week as well and a f150, and have to say no issues and felt that they drove better. Wish I could turn back the clock. As much as like this truck, my health is more important. Hopefully there is a fix.

Had my truck in again and no luck. They keep trying to push the deal that opens it up to 80%, as a possible remedy, but that ain't gonna fix it. I did learn that dodge had a similar issue a few years ago that was root caused to a warped door in the system. I've seen how the gmc works, if you look behind and through where the inside air filter goes , you can see the door and large hole it covers when in recirculate. The opening is about 5 inches wide by 3 inches. There is however no way to test the seal of the door without removing the entire dash!!! My thoughts were that if there was a way to put additional sealing on that trap door then when closed it should help. The odor seams to flow through the air way just above the hood where it meats the windshield on the passenger side. I've also tried to look around the rest of the cabin and engine area to see if there are any other gaskets or areas where air can filtrate in, but simply can't see enough to make that determination. I will say this, I love this truck but only after 3 months and seriously considering trading this in ONLY because of this issue. To another's point when in traffic it truly is difficult to breath. I've also added clothes drying sheets around the cabin filter and that doesn't seem to help for more than a day! Also it seems to be worse if the system is set to only the feet. But the difference is nominal. GM hear me!!!!! This sucks do something!!!!

2014 slt 6.2 Original stock tires were 275 -55 Goodyear eagle Replaced with 275 60 grappler G2. Ride is slightly stiffer but drasticLly improved over pot holes and larger bumps. Tires are an inch higher than stock Next adding the bludgeon 5100's if the fronts would ever come out! Attached Thumbnails

Just pulled this from the owners manual, so by definition and description, not performing as designed!!! "Press Recirculation Mode to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle or prevent outside odors from entering the vehicle. It is not available while the Defog or Defrost Mode is selected" Funny!

Still looking for more posts on this, but I've had my new truck 3 days!!! Love everything thus far except that in recirculate all outside smell enters the vehicle. Skunk, cigarette smoke, exhaust, doesn't matter!!! No way to prevent it. I will look around for more solutions here, and take back to dealer Saturday, but if this isn't fixed I will absolutely cry fraud and seek full return and legal options immediately! No other vehicle I have ever been in in my life has been like this! The responses I've read so far are complete crap! How can 100's of car designs over years and years of design not have this issue, and suddenly a car manufacturer claims this? Give me and you a break. A Kia at1/4 the cost is showing better qualityat this point. Additionally, I've got resources others don't, so we'll see what happens. I've owned Toyota for 30 years, preaching Detroit designs were garbage. I bought this truck bc it is so nice, but 1 day in I am regretting this purchase, and will let the world know!!!!
