My SUV when ever going up or down a hill at any speed lets out a horrible smell. I took it to the dealer and they claimed it was bad gas, I let the tank run to empty and switched gas dealers...the problem got worse. My son cannot ride in the back seat because he feels like throwing up even during short rides.
