Occasional coolant smell in cabin when HVAC is started.

paris1 · Feb 9, 2014

Anyone else ever smell a little whiff of coolant upon turning on the HVAC, particularly in really humid conditions when the system has not been used for a while. It usually goes away pretty quickly, but I'm wondering if this is typical. Doesn't appear to be using any coolant.

2013 with 30K miles on it. Never had coolant smell inside or outside of the vehicle.

Yes, I too have been experiencing that. I have plans to bring it in....i just have to find the time since the dealership is over an hours drive.

I have had this issue as well. I also notice it when it is humid (which in Houston is quite often). I'm hoping the dealer will have some kind of solution, as the smell is not the best.
