Description of the problem | I'm experiencing an odor that is coming through my vents, it smells like antifreeze but then the odor changed and it smelled like anesthesia and had an effect like it as well. I was driving on my way home from work and had the air-conditioner running (summer 2016) my eyes started to get blurry and the smell was taking over me, i said to myself i think i'm about to pass out ( it was a feeling like i was going under to prepare for surgery) i quickly let the windows down to air out the car. And then i was fine. I did not run the air the rest of the summer. Now that it is winter i was running my defrost and the same smell was there so i quickly defrost and aired out the car. Also with it being cold and turning on the heat i still get that anti-freeze smell. Sometimes when i am not running anything through the vents a whiff of the smell comes through. I had my car serviced and looked at but they could not find anything wrong and could not detect the foul smell. Each time i and these encounters i was driving both in the city and on the highway. This started in the summer of 2016 and it is still happening as of 3/17/17 |
