I purchased a 2007 Volkswagen new Beetle Convertible.

The stench of melted crayons is horrible. Car dealers act like I don't know what I'm talking about, it makes me and my grandkids breathing horrible. I even talked to Volkswagen and they acted like they didn't know what I was talking about.

I have tried cleaning the filter, spraying with Ozium and Lysol and Febreeze. Nothing works, it is a chemical odor so terrible. It makes me sad that I can't enjoy driving my little bug. What else can be done? Please help!

I only had the bug for about 3 weeks but it has been in the shop a lot. You can smell it a mile away. It is gross! TOXIC SMELL!

Please let me know if talking to VW management has helped. My daughter's 2003 Jetta smells so bad she wants to sell it.. What can be done, as this looks to be a consistent problem amongst VW owners?
