Consumer Description

I CONTINUALLY NOTICED THAT THE AIR VENTS EXPRESS A VERY SMELLY ODOR. WHETHER IT IS THE AIR CONDITIONER OR THE HEATER- MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE AIR CONDITIONER RESIDUE AND TO RUN MY FAN ON VENT TO GET RID OF THE MOISTURE BUILDUP. I HAVE DONE THIS FOR A COUPLE WEEKS NOW AND THEY STILL SMELL LIKE MOLD AND MILDEW- I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 60 DAYS AND CAN'T GET RID OF THE SMELL. I HAVE ALLERGIES AND THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR ME. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS OVER THE YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS EVERY HAPPENING WITH THE AIR CONDITION IN A VEHICLE. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM?IS THERE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THIS OR DO I NEED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LODGE A COMPLAINT TO GET RID OF THE CAR? *TR
