Ok, my fairly new car has terrible animal urine smell! We have no pets, and the interior of the car did not seem soiled anywhere. We tried air freshener, did not work at all! So we think that the animal probably crawled under the hood and did a job inside the pipes/hoses? When we have air circulation on, the air stinks, but if we run the air-conditioning, then it does not smell, I really don’t know how to describe it. My husband looked everywhere, but found no visible trace of any urine stain, had looked under the hood, all seats, the floor etc. We don’t know where the smell comes from, except maybe through the vent. Does anyone have any ideas what/where the problem may be. I tried to google, but since I don’t know exactly where the problem is, I can’t just follow the normal method of vinegar, baking soda etc.

It is very frustrating, the car stinks. I don’t usually use this newer car until my college son is home, he needs my other car to go to work. Maybe we should take it to the dealer to check it out, but I want to try cc first for some free ideas Can anyone help?

Thanks!
