Consumer Description

THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING I NOTICED A MILDEW TYPE ODOR COMING THROUGH THE VENT SYSTEM WHEN I CUT ON THE HEAT. I REPORTED DURING SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE FILTER WOULD BE CHANGED AND SOME TYPE OF ODOR REDUCER PLACED IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. IT'S WINTER AGAIN AND THE ODOR IS SO BAD THAT I AM GETTING CAR SICK WHENEVER THE HEAT IS ON, WHETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE WITH TOYOTA VEHICLES. IS THERE ANY RECALLS IN PLACE FOR THIS, I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THIS COMPLAINT. BASED ON OTHER INTERNET COMPLAINTS, THIS MAY BE MOLD BUILD UP.
