Yes! Vehicles emit carbon monoxide which is an extremely dangerous and lethal gas. Even small exposures can cause dizziness, headache, nausea and other symptoms, higher exposure can result in permanent physical damage or death. A small leak in the exhaust system can cause CO to enter the inside of a vehicle, one of the reasons state have mandatory safety inspections. NEVER leave a vehicle running inside a garage without there being proper ventilation.
