Just like it says in the title, when I start the AC on a hot day, my car smells like somebody's year old gym bag. Ordinarily I drive around with the AC off and the windows down to enjoy the sound of my car (flappy bits aside), so this isn't a big deal. But now that I'm often transporting the baby around, I have to have the windows up with the AC running. I'm calling the dealer tomorrow about a filter replacement/check, just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue? Also going to ask about that unpleasant crunch/clunk sound when I turn the AC on after start up. Guessing its a belt somewhere, as I heard similar sounds before the AC went out on my Durango. Turns out the serpentine belt was rubbing the condenser. Feel free to post up your AC issues here. -Tam
Tam there is a TSB on that odor...basically they disinfect the system....but it will just work a while.....helps to turn off the a/c about 15 minutes before parking the car...specially if it is to sit for a few days.......you also might try spraying Lysol into the air intake (interior not motor) while the fan is running...that is basically what the TSB does...
I had this TSB done the first few months I got the car. I'm surprised you noticed it AFTER you had Maddy! LOL
i dont use mine because of the Crunch/clunk noise :sad: whats funny is the Cruiser doesnt make that noise, but its on that oder list.
My car has that smell too. I hate it. GF's always asking me if I farted or something. Guess I'll give my dealer a call and see what they say.
