My car has a very strong odour smelling like meat gone bad. Everything is shampooed. The odour the same?

a mouse or a squirrel might have crawled up in there and died. check your tire wells and under the hood ( a warm place to sleep).

I've heard of mold growing in the air conditionerMy car has a very strong odour smelling like meat gone bad. Everything is shampooed. The odour the same?
it could be one of two things.....does the smell get stronger when you turn the a/c or heat on.....if it does you possibly have a dead mouse or rodent in the air ducts.....another common problem for a rotten smell is moisture coming into the vehicle somewhere creating mildew.........there is a product on the market that absorbs moisture and smell....it comes in a can that you just open and place under a seat.....give it a try.....otherwise look for dead rodents and wet spots after a rain!!!!!
If it's not roadkill snagged in the undercarriage, then I'd investigate your air vents, and especially the area under the dash and vicinity of the cabin air filter (if you have one).


Mice often make nests in there, and it's a total pain in the butt.
