Description of the problem | After my 25,000 mile maintenance check i began noticing a foul odor upon entering the car. Oddly enough, this odor is most pronounced when the car has been sitting for a few hours. While the car is running and the fans are blowing, the smell reduces in strength. However, anytime the car is off, the cabin fills once again with this horrible foul odor. To describe the smell i would say that it's similar to a gym locker room mixed with garbage. This is extremely disappointing as my car is under 2 years old and it is solely used for commuting. Food is not consumed in this vehicle and only water is drank. The fact that the smell disappears when driving with the fans on leads me to believe that there is not a dead animal present in the chassis. This seems like a mechanical issue. |
