There is a oil smell coming through the air condition vent when the car is in motion especially when you are at a stop sign and when the heat is on. The smell is strong . The only time when the smell is not coming out is when the ac/heater is off or when I have the unit on circulation and ac on at the same time. It doesn't matter how far I travel the smell is there. The volume control of the ac/heater has a delay of coming on,. I want to know why is this car doing this ,it's a 2010 it also look like it has some water damage.
Noise coming from air conditioning system whether car in motion or still with air still cooling. Dealer had never seen where air compressor was loose and only being held by belts. Could have caused great issues in the engine compartment. Replaced air compressor at a cost of over $1200.
