    We have a 2010 Escape (8 mos old) and up to now hindi pa nawawala ung new car plasticky smell. At first ok sya pero its kinda worrying now kasi baka may diperensya na sya. The scent sticks to your clothes pa. We had it checked sa casa and they thought its the a/c but wala naman nakitang leaks o problema. Ive tried sniffing every part of the dashboard and seats pero I cant figure out where the smell is coming from... Has anyone encountered this? Any remedies?

    Baka meron parin plastic cover na hindi natanggal sa interior. Check mo lang kasi isa yun sa cause ng new car smell.

    put some charcoal (uling) inside the car. they will absorb the scent.

    This will be effective:

    park the car under the sun, then open all doors (including the hatch). Iwan mo maghapon na ganun sir. The sunlight will cause all the chemical to evaporate so bye bye new car smell. :D Do this for a week.

    Just curious, ayaw mo yung new car smell?
