So I have been having this smell coming from my jeep
Grand Cherokee and it shifts really hard. So I took it to
have 3 different places check it 1 said it was oil
from the oil change the 2nd one said they had never
smelled that kind of smell before and the third one ended
up tightening up the hose to my coolant and said that was
what I was smelling and it should go away. Well last night
all of a sudden it got really hard to steer then I noticed the
car had died right in the middle of the road so the hard to
steer came from the car not running, but when I pulled
over and restarted it it had no trouble. I recently bought the
car so I don't know much about the history. It's a 99 4x4
automatic V8 with 150,000miles.
I do know that there was an antifreeze leak but the hose
was tightened and now nothing leaks. I have checked the oil
it looks good and was changed only 2,000 miles ago.
The smell is kinda like burnt rubber sometimes and
sometimes has a gas smell mainly it just smells hot but it
doesn't over heat unless I have a bad thermostat but
the belts all look good and there is no smoke that comes
out except the tailpipe. I was told maybe it is the fuel
filter or the cadillac converter is full but that would
smell like rotten eggs right? Can anyone help please......
