Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am experiencing an extremely strong mildew smell inside my equinox. it is so strong people comment outside the car. the smell also penetrates clothing so that others notice the smell. people will not ride in my car. i have had it to the dealer twice. both times the odor improves slightly (they depdorize the hvac) but still others comment. i am concerned about driving my 3 year old b/c of the smell. we have found no visible wetness or mold. the rubber around two windows was loose but the dealer did not find water inside the door. the smell does not seem to be coming from the vents but mores so just from the car. *nm
