Hey Scotty, thought you might laugh at this one 🙂
I guess their smell is the same as their quality: hot garbage.
It seems like Hyundai Palisade has hygiene problems lol. {black}:laughingoutloud:
clearly loll
Hyundai can't even do a simple hygiene test lol. Take a shower and clean your engine and cabin Hyundai.
I have a friend with a teluride which is the same base vehicle. His developed a funky smell after a couple of months but the dealer figured out that a drain plug for the rear evaporator coil had been left in. The dealer is supposed to remove it on delivery.
That's interesting @mrbob.
the telluride is basically the same vehicle, just with a different interior, and body. I wouldn't be surprised if they have the same problem
why is there a plug in the first place?
Don't know exactly but usually these things are to prevent animals and insects to get in while the vehicles are sitting at the dealers. I remember bumble bees built a nest in the back of a 78 suburban I bought. They got into through a drain hose.
The customer was not told any details where the drain plug was just it was left in. I have not talked to the guy in a couple of months.
I had a 94 suburban which developed a mold smell. The back doors leaked when it rained and the carpet in the back had no way to dry out. There was this elaborate kit GM sold that would cycle on the rear blower periodically to dry the back out. I bought the kit but never installed it. Those were the best doors for a work truck. I hate a tailgate or a lift gate. They always get in the way. That vehicle was weird. In 94 you could not get a CD player as an option. The driver side bucket seat was not centered on the steering wheel. There was supposed to be a access port under the deck for changing the fuel pump. The fuel pump went bad so I got a new one and followed the service manual's instructions and lifted up the carper. No access port. I cut a hole myself and covered it with some sheet metal and silicone caulking. Put the carpeting back and you could not tell the difference.
