Unhappy 2007 CTS makes my ears clog and hurt!

Wondering if anyone has a problem with they're ears hurting in their 2007 Cadillac CTS. I love the car, it's Pearl White with black leather but the leather still smells very potent after 3 years and I am wondering if the smell is giving me the ear problem, i bought it a month ago and can't drive it, can anyone advise me on what to do?

I doubt it. Go to an ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT).

leather is not likely to do that but .. mold could.

park it with the windows down and drive it with the windows down and see what happens.

also, is there a smell when the A/C is turned on? mold in ducts?

where is the car from? flood damage? carpet mold? did you do a carfax?

Default Thanks for Replying

The carfax didn't show any flood damage, but the car sat at auction after a lease return for 4 months, that seemed a bit strange. I still can't believe that after 3 1/2 years the leather smell would be that strong? I don't think there is any mold...
