When the car is hot, especially when at a stop sign/light; a smell forms similar to exhaust fumes is released through the air conditioner. I made the complaint to shortline when it went into service shop. They returned the car saying they did not smell anything"? I returned the car a few days later when the smell was prominent and they admitted that other complaints had been made! they said they need to replace some componants in the A/C and turn it down to stop it from freezing! it is not a powerful A/C. they said that condensation is created when car is hot and any bacteria which has formed gives off this non-toxic smell??" please investigate.
