2007 chevrolet impala has strong odor (skunk-like smell) that radiates from the vehicle's interior when the outside climate begins to warm up. GM issued a TSB (#08-08-110-019) for the problem, but will not repair vehicles that are out of warranty. The problem pertains to incorrect parts (a rubber brake booster boot and instrument panel insulator pad) installed in vehicles between january 1 2007 and march 1 2007 that emit this odor.
