I parked the garage after my commute home today and smelled something funny from the engine compartment. I popped open the hood and saw a small white bag hanging from the battery with mothballs inside.
Anyone have this in their 2009 Murano?

Re: Mothballs??? (good4wu)
Sounds like someone's idea of a practical joke (but how would they get under your hood?). I can't think of any other reason for this.
Re: Mothballs??? (brainguyus)
I mean it has to have been there since I bought the car. Could this car have shipped with this bag hanging there for any reason? I haven't engaged the dealer yet, but I have to guess someone else had this experience.

Interesting.....
Do a google search on "mothballs under the hood". Apparently this is a way to keep rodents out of your engine compartment. Perhaps they found mice under the hood when they prepped your car?
