#22 of 1243 smell by 401k Aug 02, 1999 (4:02 pm)
Usually the smell comes from mold & mildew developing in the moisture of the cooling system. There doesn't seem to be any particular model of car that is totally immune to the problem. What has worked for me in the past is the following procedure: Turn the A/C thermostat down as low as it can go. Put the fan on FULL, and the air source on RECIRCULATE. Spray Lysol into the air intakes at the rear of the hood. Use a good amount of Lysol, and let the A/C run for at least five minutes. The car will smell like Lysol for a day or two, but the mold & mildew (along with the smell) should be gone. Extremely bad cases may require a second treatment. Hope this helps. Tom

#24 of 1243 Warning by chandler4 Aug 02, 1999 (9:49 pm)
A word of warning to anyone contemplating buying a new Chrysler from Koons Chrysler of No. VA. DON'T. My experience is that the folks there do not deal in good faith. I was ready to write a check for a Concorde LXi and Koon's last quote was a grand MORE than it was a week ago. Go figure. Anyone have any suggestions of an honest(ha ha) dealer in No. VA?
#25 of 1243 burning oil smell by petersons Aug 03, 1999 (3:18 am)
Burning oil smell began shortly after delivery, after six visits to dealer and 15,000 oderous miles the dealer finally replaced the transmission. It was obvious that transmission fluid was leaking onto the catalytic converter from the beginning but they played with everything including the AC. After it was finally fixed the district manager for northern new jersey[Hugh something] would not even extend the drivetrain warranty to cover the lost time. 99 Concorde Lxi

why would you have to replace the transmission if it only had a leaky gasket??
#27 of 1243 The Smell Of ..it by hoho Aug 03, 1999 (5:43 am)
Fastdriver and 401K, you guys hit it right on the head with that one. Using Lysol or even vinegar, water and any liquid fragrance to disspell the smell of the vinegar will remove the mold and mildew smell from the A/C. I have used liquid (4tsp) Lysol in a quart spray bottle. Sprayed into the intake vents while the A/C is running on low, while making sure it goes through all the vent ducts. After that I mix some liquid air freshener (2tsp, from any auto or drug store) in the the spray bottle after I rinsed it out.

chandler4 - yea, they tried to rip me and the mrs off as well. Check my post in the Smart Shopper conf. under the title "Post you sleazy dealers here" I went to Cowles Nissan/Chrylser/Plymouth in Woodbridge, VA. If you're willing to drive about 25 miles south of DC my salesman was Mr. Kosko (can't remember his first name). Very pleasant experience. I can't comment on the service yet as I've only had one oil change and no problems with my Cirrus. Give them a try. I wind up paying 500 over invoice for my Cirrus. Not the best deal, but much better than I was offered elsewhere after endless negotiating. If you have any questions send me an e-mail. ssamuelshotmail.com
#29 of 1243 401k & emale-fastdriver by fastdriver Aug 04, 1999 (1:08 am)
401k- Thanks for the suggestion. I never thought of that. I'll try it ASAP. emale- I must have missed that one. I check NHTSA all the time so that when something seems strange with my car I know I'm NOT imagining it or nitpicking. fastdriver
