Fart/Egg smell coming from vent
When I turn my vents on whether it's A/C or heat, I get a really bad smell coming from the vents. Not sure what the problem is or even where it's coming from. Anybody?

Based on your description, it resembles hydrogen sulfide, which is a product of exhaust. You may have an exhaust leak and should have the car examined soon. Other types of musty, old socks, moldy smells from the A/C have been reported and are due to excess moisture allowing bacterial growth in the A/C system.

A few posts up a guy posted his washer fluid caused this smell. You might want to open the reservoir and check it out. If not they make sprays for the HVAC ducts to get rid of mold and smells.
