7 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2020

I have a photo of this sticker. Inside on the car's body frame of the driver's side of my 2017 Jeep, there is a sticker that says: this vehicle may include Mercury -- added devices installed by the manufacturer: video display (which I have to touch to operate the radio and phone call free feature) navigation/camera display (which I have to touch to operate the radio and phone call free feature) hdi headlamps (which I touch when I wash my car) remove devices before vehicle's disposal. Upon removal of devices, please reuse, recycle or dispose as hazardous waste. When I travel (on a straight road like interstate 5 in washington and oregon) for more than 3 hours, I get nauseous, dizzy, and do not feel well for hours afterwards. This has been an on-going scenario. I had asked my mechanic to check the ac system, clean all of the vents, and replace the filters and it still did not fix my reaction to driving in the car or being just a passenger. This is unacceptable! please recall and rectify this hazardous situation immediately among all owners of a 2017 Jeep. Why it is always in the hands of the consumer to make things right? why can't corporations just do the right thing for its customers and the earth? this blatant irresponsibility and corporate greed is getting so old. Fyi: health effects of Mercury exposure the inhalation of Mercury vapour can produce harmful effects on the nervous, digestive, and immune systems, lungs and kidneys, and may be fatal.
