Yesterday, I checked out a car at the mall, sat in the back, and noticed a smell that reminded me of the kind that makes you feel carsick on buses. The salesperson said it's normal for new cars. But doesn't Volvo claim to have no odor?

After having my car serviced at the 4S shop, they forgot to install the engine skid plate. When I went back, they claimed there was never one to begin with and said there were no screw holes for a skid plate underneath. I remember there being a square-shaped engine skid plate. Could any Accent owners let me know if your car has an engine skid plate or not? I don't want the 4S shop to fool me.

Model X, 40,000 km. There's a consistent humming noise from the rear wheels while driving, most noticeable at speeds of 35-40 km/h. You can feel a slight vibration in the floor when sitting in the back seat. I've been to the dealership a couple of times for this, and the last time, the technician confirmed the noise. After checking, they said the half axles are fine and concluded it's due to tire aging. I've heard that 21-inch tires tend to wear unevenly and might need replacement around 40,000 km. The tires only have 40,000 km on them, and the tread still looks clear. Is this really possible?

2021 Outlander Vehicle Odor Issue. Background: Recently, the car was parked in an underground garage for a month, and the garage was somewhat damp. Situation: An unpleasant odor, like a musty and rotten smell, has started to accumulate inside the car. Self-assessment: I've checked the interior but couldn't find the source of the smell. I also replaced the air conditioning filter, and the air blowing out doesn't have any odor. However, as soon as the car is parked for half a day and I get back in, there is a strong smell in the cabin. The car has never been submerged in water or flooded before. Question: Has anyone experienced a similar issue and can provide some guidance on how to deal with this?

Does the G80 have any interior odors? I used to drive an XC60, and it didn't have any smell at all—the cabin was very comfortable. However, Volvo's soundproofing isn't great. I took a ride in a car-hailing service today, and there was an indescribable odor inside the car. Not sure if it was a plastic smell or something else, but even though it was faint, it made sitting inside uncomfortable. I don't know how the driver tolerates it. I test drove the G80 and noticed a bit of a smell, but it wasn't unpleasant. It definitely can't compare to a new Volvo. I'm curious if the smell will still be there after one or two months. With my previous XC60, even after being parked under the sun, there was no noticeable odor inside. Any G80 owners care to share their experience?
