Is the fluid you use a "Bio-fluid" made from plants? My wife purchased some one time and it stunk to high heaven! NEVER again!

I have used nothing but Costco since the day I took home my '13 GS. Sometimes it smells and sometimes it doesn't, confusing considering I never change gas brand.

I have noticed the same odor on a Sunday drive after eating a heaping helping (maybe two) of Saturday night supper beans. It's a New England thing!! I recommend a dose of Beano following ingesting. Bronk

I have a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette with about 37,000 miles on it and I have been noticing a funny smell compared to something burnt or rotten eggs coming from the vents upon accelerating hard. It does not do it all the time... only when I hit high RPMs to pass someone or taking the on ramp, getting up to speed quickly. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

It is a pretty nasty smell. I have experienced it in every modern corvette I have owned from C4 to C6
Usually lasted no more than a few minutes though.
The only thing that smells that bad for 7 years is Staten Island and North Jersey
