I just bought a new Camry Hybrid a week ago. I have about 500 miles on it.

I love the car so far, however, everytime I get out of car after only a 20 minute drive, I smell like I've been sitting at a Gas station all day. My hair/clothes smell like oil or rubber. (Mind you - I had just bathed ).

The air conditioner is running so I'm guessing this smell is coming out of the vents. Very annoying! Or could it be coming from the big vent in back?
The trunk sometimes has the same smell.

Is anyone experiencing this?
Is it the filter or is this something that can be fixed?

The new car smell is fading fast. Not even my old car smelled like this.
Thanks.

Whoop Dee Do! on a more serious note, check the rubber insert on top of the radiator and make sure it did not get sucked into the manifold and melt.

 

Have you had this ck'd out yet? Pls. post back!

Sounds very serious, not to mention nauseating.
