I too get the occasional groan out of the left-rear suspension mount when I exit the car. It makes a sound just as if a really fat person got out of the car (no offense to anyone, I just don't know how else to describe it). It's kinda embarassing in that the sound is rare but always seems to happen when a pretty girl is close by. Just my luck, I guess.
Anyway, I've complained to the dealer who has also tightened bolts and lubed the area but the sound still happens sometimes. I can live with it.
I've never had a stinky A/C though. That's pretty nasty and indicative of mildew or fungus somewhere in the ventilation system. Replacing the pollen filter is a good start but all the intakes and ducting need inspection. Might be something yucky in there.
Good luck.
