I seem to be smelling exhaust fumes quite badly in the cabin when the car sits for just a couple of minutes...does anyone else have this problem? Windows are up, and the smell goes away when I hit RECIRC.

I have an 06 2.4 5 speed LT and have just recently come across the same issue. From what I'm hearing it may have something to do with the flex pipe.

Does the exhaust seem louder lately? If the flex pipe leaks it pulls it thru the vent system..

Not any louder than when I bought the car, but that is my own experience

My 2 cents, I had a Tracker for 2 years thyat to me sounded OK, But when I did the exhaust system the flex pipe was cracked,probly since I got it, Way quieter after the new exhaust,so you may have had the crack since you got it and it has not open up enough to get louder like mine did, worth a check out,please post what you find!
Happy New Year

My money's on a cracked flex pipe. Seems to be a common issue.

Cracked flex pipe, 2008, maybe warrenty because the cat is part of the pipe, just thinking outloud
