    Bad odor while driving 2011 prius, it comes and goes. I have figured out, parked idling I can get it to make the odor by outside air-defroster mode only. This morning it is doing it going down road, with all modes of air OFF. Under the hood no smell like it, fluid good, new cabin filter etc. When it does it, seems like it lasts for 30 seconds, but regularly.
