Absolutely, carbon monoxide could be entering the vehicle due to a faulty exhaust system. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that causes headache, dizziness, nausea and can render the victim unconscious, it can also be fatal. The vehicle should be inspected asap, and not be driven unless absolutely necessary, if it is driven all the windows should be open. If a person has any of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning it would be advisable to seek a medical evaluation.
