Upon opening the package it does. I put it on and used Pledge wipes and the smell subsided within less than one week. I still have it and LOVE IT

No it does not, but I can't say it's the best quality. Mine has already fallen apart.

no but mine smell very bad when it is in the case. I wash my car everyday so it not supposed to smell. You should try to get a microfiber cloth to dry your car

Yes it has a smell but if you leave it for 1-2 days outside in your garage before you install it the car the smell will be gone.

I had no odor from mine at all. If you have examined the interior to make sure nothing is there that shouldn't be, then notify Amazon.

It smells like rubber when it's new. I washed mine a few times before I wore it and it was fine.

Smells like leather, I suspect it's top grain leather seating, headrest and arms the sides and back appear to be bonded leather.

I didn't notice that. I think there may be some rubber smell, but it's not very serious, and with time flies I think the smell will disappear.

i didn't notice any unusual odor from this cover. like anything new, just air it out for a day and you'll be fine

Hey there Ms Amanda Well I actually bought that steering wheel cover for my lil brother as birthday gift. I can not answer this question based off of my own experience BUT I called my lil brother and he said even when his car is sitting directly in the sun the steering wheel never too hot to touch just a lil warm. So all in all I say this is a great buy for the price. I hope this answered helped. :-)

Mine has no smell whatsoever. Just received it last week. Maybe you should send it back!

Hello Clark, Did not notice any smell not sure what material is made of. Will say it is a very warm cover.

I didn't notice any strong odors from ours. We put it in the car within a day of removing from the box. I wouldn't be concerned.

I have kept mine in my case for two years. I recall there being a odor during installation and when I would first start the computer up. It has long since faded in odor and the padding is still fixed to the interior. No smell.

I have no ideal. But I will tell you that I had no odor at all with my cover. Sometimes the odor of the factory gets inside the packaging and that might be what they smell. All automotive products has some sort of smell as they are mostly made from petroleum. That's where plastics come from.

it had a little smell, like a brand new out of the package smell, but that went away. the cover is machine washable so if it smells bad it can be washed, but mine smelled for like a day. or try airing it out first. the color is like a mix of i think tan and olive. more towards the tan. my interior is black and now that i have been using it i am used to the color. it's a pretty neutral color. if it was tan it would have been too light with my black interior. i really like it.

Sorry I don't have allergies regarding this type of material. It did keep my steering wheel comfortably cool during the blazing summer when my vehicle baked.

Hello Fredric, I believe the odor is due to the fact that this is genuine leather. I have had mine for about a month and it has not gone away yet.
