I drive a Volvo S60. Two days ago the car had a bad odor. After investigating, I found out the smell was from the trunk. I did not carry anything in the trunk. It smell like dead animal, like rotten fish. I spray Fabrezze but it's still smell. Please help.

Look under the car to find the dead animal.
If it's mildew, check for water leaks. Try some vinegar spray.
