| Description of the problem | After running my 2018 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited jl for a short time, i would shut the car off then when restarted five minutes later, i would smell "maple syrup". Constant problem when car heated up to running temp. Fan box emitted smell. Took car to dealer. Dealer said possible pin hole leak so they replaced the heater coil. When finished they said they could see residue where it had been leaking. I can occasionally smell this still after two months. |
