Why does my 2008 Ford Escape smell like it's running hot while my heater is on and I am stopped at a red light…

It might be a coolant leak in the heater hoses or possibly the heater core. Most vehicles have a shut off valve in the the heater lines so when you aren't using the heater coolant is not going through lines enough for you to smell it. I would look for a leak and definitely look at the valve in the heater hose, those tend to leak. Good luck

Hi @clgarrison66 ,
What's the temperature gauge showing on the instrument panel when the vehicle is stopped at the lights - normal operating temp or hot?
Is the heater blower fan still operating when stopped at the lights?
