the air stinks inside my car???
 
like the topic says, the air coming inside the cab stinks. seems to be with or without a/c. the car is only 15k old so i dont think it could be the in cabin filter going rotten this early. it smells like mildew. anyone else experience this?

Maybe you SHOULD check the cabin air filter??? Takes a whopping 3 minutes.

Yeah, check the filter, and spray some Lysol or Febreeze in there!

playaz0429 04-06-2004 08:52 PM

well, i ask this cause it has smelled as long as i can remember, and i bought new. anyone else have this problem?

I bought my 04 new and I can smell grossness as well from time to time. I am not sure if it is the farm lands that I drive past on the way to work or my stinky car. I will try and keep an eye (nose?) on this problem and let you know

The rotten egg smell is a combination of the gasoline and your catalytic convertor. Try a different brand gas first. Some additives make the catalyst stink pretty bad.

I get a weird smell when the dial is set to defrost. No smell on normal vents with or without AC.
