    Hey there,

    I took a short trip this weekend and drove my Prius a little over 1k miles. We ran the heat and A/C pretty much the entire time. One night on the trip we all noticed this intense acetone-like smell.


    The smell only is when the AC system is on - seems to be both hot and cold. It lingers for quite some time as well.

    I cannot seem to find much about anyone having this issue. Maybe a refrigerant leak? Or a filter of sorts?

    Thanks in advance.

    Joseph
