[Long Drives: Smells?]

[Ski99]

I'll be using the Telluride for weekly 3 hour weekend trips to the mountains. I've read people having issues with smells and off gas. Wanted to see your experiences on if you do long drives, if you've noticed smells, and did it go away?

In my 9 months of ownership I have never experienced any unusual smells. My Telly has been through below freezing winters and scorching summer weather. If it were to produce smells I think I would have noticed by now. This is for SXP interior trim materials (nappa leather and suede/microfiber headliner). Other trim materials could differ? I haven’t come across any complaints about smells though. Besides the Pallisade’s smell-gate topic.

I had mine for one year and no smells while driving long or short distances.

About every other month....do a 436 mile run and have never had any smells.

Well, my first thought was it is the driver. Since my wife likes to drive on long trips, that made the most sense.

I have noticed musty smells. It was over the summer. I thought it had to do with the a/c, but I'm not sure. I did change the cabin filter, but it was fairly clean and now the weather is cooler so I have not run the a/c. The smell has not returned, but I don't know why.

If you unleash hell with the ventilated seat on, you can gas out the entire cabin in seconds. Remember to hit that window lock button!
