Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Burning Smell In Cabin After Air Comes Out From Vents

When starting the RX, I smell something I would describe as "burning insulation". It happens only first 10-20 seconds after the air comes out from the vents, and then the smell disappears. The smell is stronger after prolonged parking. It is the strongest in the morning and less noticeable after I start the RX 2-3 more times ( I usually make 6-8 short trips during the day). The smell was very strong when I started the RX first time after it was parked for one week (while we went on vacation).

There are no warning lights, and the vehicle runs just fine. I pulled out the carbon cabin filter (changed about 3 mo ago) - it did not smell and was very clean still. I am hesitant to go to the dealer-afraid they will rip apart the dash, which they probably will not be able to put back together without having rattles and noises after.

The smell comes from the inside - there is no smell under the hood after I start the RX.

Prius (Gen 4) :: Pleats On Cabin Air Filter Run In A Different Direction

I had a surprise this morning when I attempted to put in a new Cabin Air Filter. These filters look square at first glance, but are actually rectangular -- about 7-3/4" x 8-3/8" or so.

The issue is that the pleats on the one that came with the car run in a different direction than the one I purchased from my local Toyota dealer.

While the obvious enough solution would be to simply rotate the new filter 90* before putting it into the plastic carrier, this is impossible since the plastic carrier has a divider that runs parallel to the pleats.

Golf V R32 :: Possible To Change The Direction On The DSG Shifter?

This is my first DSG car and I find it un-natural to push the stick forward as I am accelerating then pull it backwards to downshift.

I feel that I would prefer to pull back when accelerating 1-2-3-4 and then push forward as I am decelerating 4-3-2-1...

Is there a way to modify the direction with Vag-Com or other?

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: AC And Heat Blow Out Of Vents Regardless Of Direction Setting

2002 Echo, automatic, 190k miles, no troubles with it. My AC and Heat have always blown out the vents, regardless of the direction that I want them to come from. The dial that should send them through the vents, the dash, and at your feet doesn't really do that much to send the air anywhere except through the vents.

Golf V R32 :: DSG Manual Stick Shifting Direction Change

I looked back through the DSG threads and didn't find anything regarding the direction in which you manually up shift using the stick shifter...towards the dash. This seems odd to me because if you are accelerating, your are forced into the seat, moving away from the shifting direction. The natural shifting direction would be towards the back. And vice-versa for braking and down shifting situations. Or is it just me. Can reverse the shifter to up shift towards the back?

Ford Escape / Hybrid :: Thumping Sound - Steering Wheel Straightens Out But Car Doesn't Change Direction

I was out driving tonight and our 03 escape started making a thumping sound like you hear when you have a flat. I turned the corner and noticed that the steering wheel is now at a 30 degree angle as I'm going straight and when I hit the brakes the steering wheel straightens out but the car doesn't change direction. It's dark so I can only see so much but the tie rods are good and tight from what I can tell same with ball joints. They just did that subframe recall a month or so ago. My concern is steering box but other than these symptoms it seems to be working fine.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Unpleasant Odor In Cabin Of GS450h

For the past month or so, I've noticed a rather unpleasant odor in the cabin of my '11 GS450h, which was brand new in April (it was a demo vehicle, never sold or titled). I've never had food in it, never spilled anything, and prior to a month ago, it still had the new car smell.

I can't tell where it's coming from. It isn't a moldy smell at all, but rather something like a dead mouse. Simply put, it smells like hot garbage that's been sitting in the garage for a few weeks.

I put my nose to every surface, to the rugs, leather, dash... can't find the source. I took out the cabin air filter in hopes of finding the source, but the filter was very clean and i didn't see any debris in there. I tried to stick my nose in, but i couldn't smell anything.

I "think" it's coming from the A/C/Heater vents, as when running if i put my nose up to the vent, i can really smell it.

I really need to find the source of this smell... Are there any schematics for the duct-work for the A/C inlet? Maybe there's something trapped.

I've always run it on "recirculate" mode, preferring to cycle inside air rather than take in outside air. So my "thinking" as that if there was a dead animal in the duct-work for the outside air, i wouldn't be smelling it, no?

Ford Aerostar :: 1996 3L - No Air Flow From Vents In The Cabin

I have a 1996 Ford Aerostar 3L. The Air Vents in the cabin are not flowing any air, whether on cold/hot/vent/defrost etc. I can hear it click on but no air flow. I used to have the same problems as some previous posts where the air would only flow in the dash or in the floor but now no air at all. Fuses are all good.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Rattling Noise Inside Cabin Coming From Passenger Side

I have 06 gs300 AWD and recently it started to make that noise. At first I thought my shock/struts went bad and i had it inspect and they are good, ball joint and control arms also good. However, I do not know if strut mount is bad or not. When I go over small cracks i can hear rattles inside but when i let my windows down I hear less. I do not know if the window or door has to do something with it. It seems like coming from passenger side. Btw sometimes i do feel even dashboard rattles a bit.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Fuel Like Smell In The Cabin With Vents On

I've noticed a strange problem that makes it next to impossible for me to use his truck unless the vents are off or I have both windows all the way down with it on. It smells like it has a fuel leak of some sort and in the cab of the truck it smells bad while driving and gets worse when sitting still, to me it smells like gas and when I open the hood on his truck after idling about 5 minutes or so I can smell it in there so i know its somewhere under the hood but for the life of me I can't see anywhere where its leaking or anything like that but I can smell it all darn day. His truck is an 05 F-150 with a 5.4 and I'd like to figure this out before it becomes a real big problem. I've worked with fuel injected cars and trucks before but I have little knowledge of the mod engines at all. And he is still driving it like that and I just wanna make sure it either is not gas or is just something simple I'm overlooking.

Camry :: Strong Exhaust Type Smell In Cabin After Warm Up And Vents On

I just had a blown motor swapped with a used engine with around 50,000 on it in my 2002 Toyota Camry LE 4 cyl.

After driving the car enough to warm up I turned the vent on and in comes a fairly strong exhaust type smell.

I have driven the car for a little over an hour since the motor swap.

The car is driving fine with plenty of power and no sputtering or rough idling.

I just called my mechanic and he seems to think it is due to the oil that is present on/around the motor/exhaust from the swap that is burning off.
